Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Santiago scoffed. "I've raised him for over twenty years, yet he hid you fromeven after finding out who you are." "I asked him to keep it a secret." Pearl's eyes looked cold.

She had a feeling that Claude's hlife wasn't great, but she didn't know it was this bad. She wondered how Santiago treated him.

Santiago didn't seem to care. He said coldly, "I thought he'd be useful to Savary Corp, but he couldn't even do that right. Useless." Pearl wanted to speak up for Claude, but it was clear Santiago didn't care about him at all. To everyone else, Claude seemed to cfrom a rich family, but only he knew the real struggles he faced.

To Santiago, Claude was just a tool.

But standing there, Pearl was treated better than Claude, and Claude felt an old hurt resurface. "Do you really not care aboutat all?" he asked.

Santiago was surprised. Claude had always just gone along with things, and he had given him everything. But it wasn't enough for Claude.

"Remember, Claude, your mother was the one who cto me," Santiago said, making Claude turn white. "You're just the son of a whore, so you have no right to feel upset." Even Pearl winced at those words, so one can imagine how Claude felt.

"Mister Santiago, that's too much," Pearl started, but Claude stood up, furious.

"So, I'm a disgrace because of my mother. But what about Pearl? Didn't you do the sto her mother? Wasn't she unconscious that time? When you slept with her mother, you brought her to your house and assaulted her. You're no better than me." Claude exposed Santiago's actions, and Santiago slapped him hard.

"You useless man! Stop lying!" Pearl was speechless. The past was a mystery to her, but the truth was shocking.

et "I'm not lying. A little digging and everything will cout," Claude said, wiping blood from his mouth. "Pear is a hacker and can find everything. It wouldn't be hard." Santiago raised his hand again. "You bastard!" But the slap didn't land. Claude opened his eyes and saw Pearl holding Santiago's wrist.

"Mister Santiago," Pearl stared coldly into his eyes. "Are you punishing him because he's telling the truth?" Santiago's expression changed a bit at that. "Pearl, it's not what you think." Pearl let go and took a few steps back. "Don't worry. I won't make Stake, but I won't let you offelswa either."
