Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Chapter 1315

After Luther's plan didn't work, Pearl was getting more anxious. Luther was a tough guy to handle, even though he wasn't strong enough to beat her easily.

More importantly, Pearl was expecting a baby. She was scared that if Luther tried to harm her or her unborn baby, she wouldn't be able to protect her child properly.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Richard could tell that something was bothering Pearl lately. He asked her, "What's wrong?"

"I'm okay," Pearl replied, but she didn't sound very convincing.

Richard noticed how exhausted she looked and felt sorry for her. "We're together in this, and you're carrying our baby. I hate seeing you so worn out. You have to let me know if something's bothering you."

Pearl felt a bit better hearing his words. "It's not a big problem. Luther has been asking to work with me, but I said no. I'm worried he might try something sneaky," she explained.

Richard's expression turned serious. "Luther?"

He knew about Luther, who was rumored to be the illegitimate son of the Crawfords, and lived a nomadic life. He also knew that Luther didn't seem interested in the Crawford family's wealth and had never approached them.

Surprisingly, Luther wanted to work with Pearl.

Pearl nodded. "Yes, he might hold some grudges against the Crawfords. He wants my help to deal with them." "That's absurd! Does he think he can get you to join him just by asking?"

Pearl replied, feeling helpless, "No, I won't just agree to work with him. It wouldn't be good for me. But he keeps threatening me with the baby and Esther. Given his character, I'm worried he might actually do something."

"Don't worry. I'm here for you," Richard reassured her, squeezing her hand gently. "If he tries anything, I won't let him get away with it."

Richard decided it was time to meet Luther.

He had thought Luther wouldn't want to meet him, knowing Richard's reasons for being there. But surprisingly, Luther agreed to meet him that very night.

At 7:15 pm sharp, Richard arrived at the private room they had agreed to meet in.

Luther was already there, sitting and sipping tea slowly. When he saw Richard, he greeted him with a friendly smile.

"Mister Richard, I believe this is our first time meeting. Hello, I'm Luther Crawford." He stood up and reached out his hand.

"Richard Waldorf," Richard responded coolly and didn't shake hands with him.

Luther didn't seem bothered and simply pulled his hand back. "What would you like to eat, Mister Richard? Here's the menu. Order anything you'd like. My treat."

"We both know time is valuable," Richard said, looking straight at him. "Mister Luther, I'm not here to dine with you.

"Of course. Please, go ahead."
