Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl



Chapter 1379

At the mention of Luther, Nina's eyes filled with sadness. "I was only gone for six years, and your mom has already caught his attention... Do you think she's good enough for my brother?"

Darius didn't really understand what she was implying, but her wild laughter made it clear there was tension between her and Luther. He managed to overcome his fear and responded, "My mom doesn't even like Uncle Luther, and she's definitely not going to marry him." Nina's mood brightened momentarily, but then suspicion clouded her expression. "Don't think you can fool me by lying. I know you've lived with him for four years, and your mom has always been close to my brother. He even proposed to her in front of everyone."noveldrama

Nina recalled how she had spiraled into anger when she read the headline: [President of Luther Corp. proposed to an employee at Linowa Coast. They were secretly dating.]

What a joke that was.

If it hadn't been for the public proposal caught by journalists, she might never have known. The thought of her brother loving someone else was unbearable.

Six years earlier, at eighteen, she had been in Luther's bed, naked, waiting to thank him for his kindness and express her intention to stay by his side forever as his wife.

But when he walked in, his words were like a slap in her face. He had no feelings for her and even called her shameless.

Humiliated, she collected her clothes, left in tears, and fled the country the next day.

Officially, she was going abroad to study, but really, it was to escape her feelings for him, which haunted her every day.

Luther sent her money monthly, a gesture of care she appreciated, though she knew he only saw her as a sister. That made it even harder to think about coming back.

After seeing the news recently, she flew home that same night.

What she discovered was Darius in the basement. The butler had spitefully called him "the b *tch's son," and she decided she wouldn't let him escape.

Lost in these thoughts, Nina stared at the injured Darius, feeling a thrill. Seeing this boy's misery reminded her of her own struggles-neglected and mistreated-and she felt he should experience some hardship too.

Satisfied and yet unnerved, Nina wondered what Darius's mother could do. She would have to rely on Luther.

Luther... he wouldn't hurt his own sister, right?

Annoyed by Darius's gaze, Nina picked up a smooth rock and threw it at him. "What are you staring at?"

The stone struck his brow, causing him to cry out in pain as the area swelled and turned purple.

"Does it hurt? Stop pretending! When I was attacked on the street, it hurt a hundred times worse!"
