Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Pearl wasn't in the mood for any tricks, so she smiled and went straight up to him. "I'm sure you found out what happened." "It's got nothing to do with me. I don't know anything." Martin felt backed into a corner, ready to throw his own father under the bus if it meant keeping his daughter safe. He couldn't stand by and watch the Jesselton family's downfall.

"Really? You don't know?" Pearl stared at him.

Caught off guard, Martin looked away and nodded. "Honestly, I don't know a thing. My butler can vouch for me. I hardly ever talk to my dad."

Martin shuddered. If even Winona was ratted out, he wasn't getting et away, so out of desperation, h could only reply, "Fine, I knew everything." Św"You could've just told me, and I wouldn't have had to trick you." Martin's eyes grew wide. "What?" "Never mind." Pearl looked over at Wayne. "Did you catch all that?" Wayne took out a voice-recording pen. "Yes." "You lied to me!" Martin was furious and tried to charge at Pearl, but Richard stopped him. "What are you doing?" At his wit's end, Martin screamed, "You bayevked me, Pearl! You're @à horrible deathto belongs to sw.no
