Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 1166

"Can you guarantee no one will find out? This time, they found out." Finnegan wanted to teach that man a hard lesson, but that man just dusted off his clothes and stood up.

He knew this man, Zayn Russell. Zayn was mean and violent, and he was known as someone you shouldn't mess with in the town. Also, he dropped out of school when he was in third grade and had been involved in illegal stuff in the village.

Hardly anyone stood up to him because he was strong.

Zayn smirked. "Mister Finnegan, maybe you should be asking yourself why?"

"What do you mean?" Finnegan narrowed his eyes at Zayn.

Zayn cleared his throat and turned to everyone. "Folks, think about it. We've done this many times before and never had trouble. So, why now?"

"Why?"

Those villagers were confused and couldn't figure it out.

"It's because someone snitched on us, and it's very likely our dear Mister Finnegan." Suddenly, Zayn turned around and pointed at Finnegan. "Why did he choose Esther out of everyone? Because he knows her. She's the spy he brought in!"

A spy…

Now the villagers got it. "So, you're saying Finnegan knew who Esther was. It wasn't by chance Esther ended up here. He did it to trap us!"
