Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl



"I wanted to cure my illness, but after seeking medical help everywhere and finding no results, I had an evil thought. I wanted everyone to suffer from lung disease like me."

Pearl suddenly understood that this widespread pneumonia epidemic resulted from Lorrie's social revenge. How shocking.

"I never thought anyone could make a cure for the virus I was researching. Even if someone found a cure, I thought it would take a few more years. But you surprised me with your persistence and developed the drug so early," Lorrie said, amazed. "You truly are my nemesis, Pearl. Did God send you to punish me?"

Pearl frowned. "I think your values are a bit twisted. Maybe you should think carefully if what you're doing is right before you act?"

"Why bother thinking?" Lorrie shrugged, a little dizzy from the alcohol. She staggered, almost toppling over the railing. "I'm already dying. Do I still care about these things?"

"So you called me here today just to talk about these?"

Lorrie nodded without hesitation. "Exactly. These have been weighing on my mind for a long time, and I couldn't find anyone to talk to, so I thought of you. I never expected that in the end, you'd be the one I could confide in."

Lorrie laughed bitterly. Her life was so miserable that she didn't even have a confidant.

On the other hand, Pearl had a happy marriage, a beloved partner, and a loyal friend who would do anything for her. So many people listened to her without question. Lorrie was consumed by jealousy.

Pearl watched as Lorrie's gaze turned malicious. She took a step back, pondering for a

moment.

"You know, Pearl, I've always wondered why your life seems better than mine."

Pearl saw through her obsession. "Because it was wrong from the beginning."Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

"Oh? So tell me where did I go wrong."

"From when you chose to return to the country and entangle yourself with Richard again, that's where it went wrong." Why fixate on someone who no longer loves you?

Lorrie understood what she meant from her compassionate eyes. "Alright, maybe you're right." With the wind blowing through her hair, Lorrie felt much more sober now.

"Are we done now? Can I leave?"

Lorrie seemed reluctant to let her go. "Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

"Also, remember what you promised me." Pearl paused. "I came here to chat with you, so you must promise not to spread the mutated virus."

Lorrie sneered. "When did I promise you that? I never agreed to it. You just assumed that was the condition, but I never promised you anything."

"So you're going to play dirty?"

"What do you mean play dirty? It's all your assumption, Pearl. You think it's a condition, but I never agreed to it."

Pearl's eyes gradually turned cold. "So, you're still going to spread this virus?"

"Of course. Did you really think that just because you chatted with me, I'll have a change of heart and start afresh? How naive." Lorrie laughed mockingly. "Alright, I don't want to talk anymore. You can go. But about the virus, I'll make sure it spreads across Enswood tomorrow at three."
