Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 1194

One afternoon, Esther bought a California burger after school. She was happily munching on it when she suddenly saw one of her classmates being bullied by a muscular guy on the street.

Seeing injustice, she stepped forward to help, running over. She threw the burger at the man directly but accidentally hit Finnegan in the face. She hadn't taken more than a few bites, and the burger was so big that it knocked him out.

Seeing the chaos, the bully was afraid that he would be involved. He stopped the intimidation and quickly fled the scene. Esther ended up indirectly saving the day.

At the school's award ceremony, with Finnegan's face bandaged up and Esther feeling embarrassed, they stood together to receive their awards with contrasting expressions. Finnegan was being recognized because Esther felt responsible for accidentally hitting him in the face, which scared off the bully.

In a surprising twist, everyone at school discovered that Finnegan had been hit in the face with a burger, turning a clever move into an embarrassing situation.

Esther cautiously asked from the stage, "Is your face okay?"

Finnegan replied irritably, "Don't worry, I'm not gonna die."

Esther knew he wouldn't die. He would probably just be a little disfigured.

Finnegan was quite popular at school for his good looks, and in the days after the incident, girls kept coming to Esther for trouble, blaming her for ruining Finnegan's face.

But those troublemakers disappeared suddenly and never came to her anymore. Esther thought they probably grew a conscience, so she didn't pursue the matter further.
