Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Chapter 1404

Chapter 1404

Pearl quickly refused Santiago's offer. "I've already got enough on my plate managing Cerubleu. You should give

the family property to Claude."

Pearl remembered what Claude had said to her before. If she took the Savary family's property, Claude might

resent her forever. Besides, Claude had always treated her like a sister. She couldn't just take away the family

property from him. She wasn't even interested in it.

But she didn't expect Claude to change his ways.

"Claude?" Santiago scoffed. "He's too caught up in his love life now. He doesn't have tor energy to manage

my family's property."

Did Sabrina and Claude... get together? It had been four years since Pearl was last in her homeland. The

economy hadn't grown much, but apparently, Claude's romance had.

Just then, a gentle voice interrupted them.

"Grandpa."

A little girl hurried over. Upon seeing the strangers, she hesitated. "Grandpa, who are they?" She was shy but

bold.

Santiago's face softened as he saw her. He picked her up and swung her into the air. "My dear Callie, did you

finish your homework?"

Calista Savary puffed up proudly and tilted her head. "Of course. Wasn't | quick?"

"Yes, Callie, you're the best." Santiago hugged her and introduced her to the others. "Letintroduce you. This

is your Aunt Pearl, and this man here is her husband, your Uncle Richard.

Calista nodded thoughtfully and smiled. "I see. Dad's been talking about you all day."

Santiago sneered. "Who knows where your useless dad is? By the way, do you know where he is?"

Calista acted all grown up. "Dad toldtoday he's off to Lynxville on a honeymoon with Mom. They'll be back

next month."

"B*stard!" Santiago slammed his hand on the table angrily. "I told them yesterday that Pearl was coming home

today. He ran off so quickly!"

Calista sighed and shook her head. "Grandpa, Dad's always like that. Oh, and he askedto give you a

message. He wants Aunt Pearl to look after the Savary property."

She looked earnestly at Pearl. "So, you're my aunt. You're really pretty."

Pearl felt overwhelmed by the whole situation. She hadn't expected such a mess. If she'd known she'd be dealing

with such an irresponsible person, she wouldn't have chere. "Hmm... Oh, Pearl. Don't be upset with Claude.

He's always been this way. Maybe you could

Pearl suddenly coughed and stood up. "I've got another commitment today. I'll cback another time..." She

then gave Richard, who was beside her, a significant look. "Right?" Richard stood, smiling and nodding. "Yes,

Blake just called. He wants to meet us."

Santiago was struck speechless. He looked disappointed but eventually sighed. "Alright. If that's the case, | won't

press you. Cback when you're ready to discuss the property."
