Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

"Can you tellwhat's happening here?" Pearl asked, looking around curiously. She sensed there was more to this room than met the eye.

"This place is full of cameras. Howard put them up so no one could sneak away," Daisy replied.

"What else?" "There's a signal blocker in this room to prevent messages from getting out. That's why Howard didn't bother to check you," Daisy added. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Pearl frowned. "So, he's planning to keephere without a chance to resist." "He can keep you here and use you as a test subject, and you won't be able to fight back." Daisy gave her a sympathetic look. "How did you end up here?" Pearl bit her lip, thinking. "Howard thought I'd make a perfect test subject. We've had our disagreements before." "But Howard's a recluse. How could you have had any run-ins with him?" Daisy grew more curious and felt a connection to Pearl, encouraging her to share more.

"He's not really a recluse. He'd go to great lengths for his granddaughter," Pearl clarified, and they continued to talk for a while. "I'm supposed to be here learning, and Howard fooled my family into thinking everything's fine by faking letters from me," Daisy revealed, feeling helpless.

She wasn't the favorite in the family or they wouldn't have sent her abroad. Being the overlooked child, she knew the Grants wouldn't rush to find her as they would have for her brother.

"But I think someone might notice you're missing," Daisy suggested hopefully.

Pearl nodded. "I managed to send out a message before I got locked up here." Wayne would find a way to get into Jesselton Manor.

Daisy admired Pearl's cleverness. "I wish I had your brains. Maybe then I wouldn't have been stuck here for so long." Daisy hadn't seen the outside world in two years and wondered how it had changed.

Pearl gave her a reassuring smile. "Don't worry. If I find a way out, I'm taking you with me." Daisy's eyes lit up with hope. "Really? I could leave this place too?" "Not just you." Pearl's gaze swept over the other captives. "I plan to help everyone escape." * Outside, Santiago grew anxious as tpassed without any sign of e sensed trouble andYoined to intervene. S He gestured to the butler, who quickly gathered a group to create a commotion at the door.

When the door finally opened, Santiago stepped forward from his car.

"It's late, and our boss said he wouldn't be taking guests at this hour." Santiago scoffed and demanded, "Tell him that if he doesn't want he should cout and Shet Jesseltons to go bankrupt over het me." "And who are you to threaten us?" the man asked, skeptical.

"Santiago Savary." The man's expression changed.

The in was all it took. Even here Santiago's reputation preceded him, his influence reaching far beyond his company's domain.
