Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 1212

Pearl decided to meet Chester with Richard. After Lorrie's visit, both of them thought meeting Chester might help them discover the truth faster.

Chester's home wasn't far from where they lived, but the road was rough and uneven.

It took them over an hour to drive there, and when they finally arrived, they couldn't help but notice how run-down the place looked. They both frowned at the sight.

Jasmine didn't seem like she was poor. So, they wondered why she chose to live in such a hard-to-reach and poor area.

"Maybe... she chose to live here not because she's broke, but because it's out of the way and feels safer," Pearl guessed, but she found it very likely.

Jasmine avoided making eye contact with them, probably because she was scared they might find her. But why was she afraid?

Pearl found this very baffling. She knew she needed to talk to Jasmine soon to get to the bottom of it.

Walking toward Jasmine's place, they passed by trash and a dilapidated building that looked like it hadn't been fixed in years. Despite its condition, it hadn't been torn down, likely because it would affect the poor families living nearby.

The inside was dark and damp, with a flickering light here and there. Jasmine's apartment was on the third floor. It wasn't fancy, but it felt cozier and better kept than the rest of the building.

The paint was peeling off the walls. Pearl stood carefully outside, not wanting to damage anything further.
