Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 560

Alan seemed at ease with the idea of Pearl being with Drew, but his words caught in Pearl's throat. She couldn't help but wonder why everyone wanted to push her towards Drew, and if there was some hidden meaning behind it.

Confused, she turned her gaze towards Drew, who blushed and looked away. She wished he would explain the situation instead of blushing like that.

Pearl mustered an awkward smile and replied, "Mister Alan, that's not necessary. There's nothing romantic between Drew and me. Plus, I already have a fiance..."

Hearing that, Alan's face sank, and he glared at Drew. "You disappointed me!"

However, he quickly softened his expression and turned to Pearl with a kind smile. "It's alright. Nothing is set in stone until you're married, and even then, you can get a divorce if needed, right?"

Pearl was left with chaotic thoughts. She couldn't comprehend why this family suddenly became so hostile and said things she couldn't understand. Was it a good thing to be so modern-minded?

"My grandpa enjoys talking nonsense. Don't take it too seriously," Drew reassured her with a deep breath, offering a smile. "I have a fiancee too."

Alan sighed upon hearing the mention of Drew's fiancee. "Let's not talk about your fiancee. I heard she doesn't want to marry you and claims to be in love with someone else. She'll probably come over and break off the engagement soon." His face turned red with anger at the thought of the engagement being canceled.

Drew, however, remained calm. "It's alright, Grandpa. If she wants to cancel the engagement, then we should cancel it. We don't have any feelings for each other anyway."

Alan nodded and dropped the subject.

As the party got underway, Alan took the stage to manage the event, while Pearl retreated to a corner to sip tea and chat with Drew.

Drew hesitated for a moment. "I have more than enough resources for my research."

He was doing research because of his interest. Besides, his family had great business and wealth, so he didn't need any funding.

Pearl persisted, dropping hints. "Your family's wealth and earned resources are two different things." She blinked at him, silently urging him to agree.

Looking at her mischievous face, Drew smiled and was moved.

As Drew contemplated the proposal, a sudden cold laugh interrupted their conversation from behind. "I haven't canceled our engagement yet, but it seems there's a vixen cozying up to my fiance."
