Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 1296

Lorrie had expected Pearl to show signs of concern or fear after her words, but she was taken aback when Pearl chuckled.

"What's so funny?"

"Do you really think you're giving me a chance, Lorrie?"

Lorrie squinted. "What do you mean?"

"Why don't you call your lab and see what's going on?"

Suddenly, Lorrie seemed to grasp something. She took out her phone and was startled by the flood of messages. It had only been an hour since she invited Pearl, yet so much had already happened.

"You deliberately talked to me to make me lower my guard, all to destroy my lab?"

Pearl listened, somewhat resigned. "How can you say that I deliberately talked to you? Weren't you the one who reached out to me for a chat?"

Enraged, Lorrie slammed her phone to the floor. "You're so cunning, Pearl!"

"All's fair in love and war." Pearl didn't bother wasting words. "Your goal probably won't be achieved now. If you recognize your mistakes, you should turn yourself in."

"Turn myself in?" Lorrie's smile grew wider. "I won't surrender even if I die!" With that, she prepared to leap over the railing and jump.

But before she could jump, Pearl grabbed her arm.

"What are you doing? Why are you saving me?"

Lorrie couldn't understand why this woman would save her. They were enemies, so Pearl should feel relieved if she died. Yet Pearl held onto Lorrie's hand tightly, refusing to let go.

"You have no right to die now," Pearl asserted, pulling Lorrie back.
