Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 1224

"I thought I was going to die. Now that I survived, don't you think that's a miracle? It's like a message from above, telling me I'm meant to keep living. But I can't help feeling angry because those who hurt me haven't paid for what they did."

Lorrie's words haunted Pearl for three days.

The last time they saw each other, they didn't leave on good terms. Pearl knew she wouldn't be able to do anything quickly, so she left Lawson Enterprises.

However, she couldn't shake off Lorrie's words, feeling like Lorrie was up to something even worse.

During a meeting, Pearl's phone rang. It was Esther, so she excused herself to answer, knowing Esther wouldn't call without a good reason.

After picking up, she heard Esther crying, "Pearl, I feel like there's no point to life."

Pearl had never heard her so sad. "What happened? Why are you talking like this?"

"James is going to get married to someone else," Esther whispered. "He said I should just marry whoever I want and forget about him."

Pearl was shocked. Why would James say that? She didn't want to believe it, but Esther was clearly distressed and needed help.

"Do you know who he's engaged to?" Pearl asked.

Esther sobbed as she answered, "Yes, his first love."
