Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Chapter 1075

"What do you mean 'escape'? | just cback to my own country. Why can't | do that? We have nothing to do with each other

anymore." Sabrina stood taller, crossing her arms as if to make herself seem more imposing.

"There's a misunderstanding here. We have something going on, and it's serious." He looked up a bit and spoke in a low voice,

though loud enough for others around to hear him.

Taking a step closer to James, Sabrina gave Esther a reassuring look, then took James's hand. "Don't make things up. I'm engaged

and will be married soon. It's only right to respect that."

She then subtly pinched James, signaling him to play along.

James remained silent, studying the man's face carefully. Despite his smile, it was clear there was bad blood. The man Sabrina had

gotten involved wasn't just srandom person.

James slowly reached out his hand. "Nice to meet you."

His gesture left things ambiguous, letting the man draw his own conclusions.

The man, however, was not deterred and accepted James's handshake. "Pleased to meet you, Mister Crawford. My nis Claude

Savary."

Claude Savary...

Hearing the nClaude Savary made James inwardly react; he knew this man was someone big.

The Savary family was a powerhouse in the business world, and James, who was involved in politics and business himself, knew

better than to cross them.

He felt annoyed but didn't understand why he was getting involved because of Sabrina. Not only was it a waste of time, but he had

to look after her too.

"Okay, baby, let's not entertain him. Didn't you say we're going out to eat? I'm in the mood for something exotic..."

James cringed internally at being called 'baby.' He wasn't worried about Claude seeking revenge; it was the pet nthat irritated

him.

He glanced at Esther, expecting her to be jealous, but she was already sitting back, watching the unfold with interest,

wanting to stay out of the fray.

Claude, sharp as he was, saw through Sabrina's act. "Baby?"

"What's so strange about that? We're engaged," Sabrina retorted, leaning in closer to James. "Just go back to Soliris and leave us to

our date," she added briskly.

Claude chuckled. "Sabrina, have you becso bold from too much freedom? Should | discipline you for dating someone else or...

for lying to me?"

He walked closer, his presence imposing.
