Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl



Chapter 1382

"That's not true," Luther said with a deep breath. "The only sister I recognize is the kind, innocent girl I found on the streets."

Nina couldn't help but laugh. "Kind and innocent? Why would you think that? When I was bullied, I kept calm because I was plotting my revenge. I planned to get back at each of them, to return every hurt they inflicted on me.

"My heart darkened a long time ago. I thought I'd always be in pain, but then you came along. You chased away those bullies and brought me to a house like a palace. How could I not fall for you?noveldrama

"I hoped you might feel something for me, especially since I'm not bad-looking. But when I gathered my courage and told you how I felt, you called me shameless. That really hurt me." Luther had no idea Nina felt this way. He thought providing her with a home, food, and a better life would make her happy, but she held onto her bitterness.

Feeling guilty and about to speak, he was interrupted by Pearl, who scoffed and said, "Did Luther disappoint you? He brought you into his home, hoping to improve your life, but it sounds like you're ungrateful.

Nina, feeling like she was making progress with Luther, was infuriated by the interruption. "What? Are you angry? You're just using your depression as an excuse and taking everything from everyone else. You kept saying Luther didn't care for you enough, but was he obligated to? He did more than he should have, but you were greedy, and you'll never be happy," Pearl added.

Nina always painted herself as the victim, so she looked at Luther with disbelief and tears in her eyes. "Don't listen to her. I never said you didn't treat me well, so don't listen to her lies.

Luther, initially guilty, reassessed the situation. He had given her a home, a name, and his care without obligation, yet what he got in return was a lot of trouble.

Taking a step back, his expression grew distant. "You've disappointed me, Nina. From today, you're not my sister anymore."

Nina panicked, not expecting Pearl's words to have such a severe impact on her relationship with Luther. He even wanted to cut ties with her.

No, if she wasn't Nina Crowford, then she would be nobody!
