Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 1293

"If you take one more step, I'll release that mutated virus right away."

Pearl turned her head, her gaze icy. "What do you want?"

"I've said it countless times, chat with me."

Pearl could only sit back. "Fine, talk then."

Lorrie smiled, a glint in her eyes that Pearl couldn't decipher. "Do you know what I've been through all these years?"

Of course, Pearl had no idea. To her, Jenny had died a long time ago.

Lorrie poured herself a glass of wine and continued, "I suppose it's pointless to ask. I'll just tell you about it.

"Three years ago, when I was in a coma, Hugo, the man who claimed to love me forever, actually bribed the nurse to remove my oxygen tank."

Pearl listened in silence.

"I didn't know anything at that time, but the plan didn't succeed because the nurse he bribed happened to be a relative of mine," Lorrie spoke with a hint of gratefulness on her face after the ordeal.
