Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

The Jesseltons... weren't as grand as the Savarys.

"Please wait, I'll go ask my boss if you can cin." The servant hurried inside but took his tcoming back out.

"Please cin, Mister Savary." Santiago glanced at him and then walked in with his group.

In the living room, Martin greeted Santiago with a smile. "What can I do for you today?" Santiago went straight to the point. "Where's Saule?" Martin looked curious. "Saule? Who's that?" "Don't play dumb, Mister Martin." Santiago was sharp, and Martin could tell.

"No, I really don't know a Saule." Martin kept smiling. "But tellabout her, and I'll help you find her." Santiago raised his brows. "Okay, letsearch around your manor then." Martin started to sweat. He knew Santiago must have sreason for coming. Even if it wasn't solid proof, Santiago was usually right.

If Santiago found anything suspicious, it could be really bad for the Jesseltons! "Mister Santiago, it's getting late. Why don't you stay the night? I can show you around in the morning." Santiago wasn't interested in that offer. "Will you letlook around or not?" He seemed to have lost all his patience, and seeing how Martin was shaking, he wasn't in the mood.

"Sure, go ahead." Martin quickly wiped his forehead and signaled to the butler.

But before the butler could leave, Santiago's men stopped him.

"Mister Martin, we're both inbusiness. We need to trust each other. Stop the games." Santiago looked at the butler, his smile turning cold. He then told his men to grab him. "Mister Martin, you should show us around yourself," he added angrily.

Martin smiled awkwardly and glared at the butler for messing up his plan.

"Okay, let's go." Santiago nodded and followed Martin further into the manor.

They walked around a garden, but everything looked normal.

EVE Martin was relieved but worried as they approached another garden "Mister Santiago, it's really dark, and you haven't found anything. Maybe we should-" Santiago cut him off. "Isn't there another garden? I'm still up for it. Are you saying we should stop now? Are you out of time?" Martin immediately replied, "No, of course I have the time." "Then lead on." Martin sighed and took him to vel Howard's garden, trying a different tactic. My father is a famous doctor. He's old and likes his quiet. He doesn't want to be disturbed." He hoped that mentioning his father's status would discourage Santiago, but Santiago just said, "Open the gate."NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
