Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 125

Hugo was surprised. "She died?"

"Stop pretending. You better tell the truth, or I'll get to the bottom of this," Pearl declared, her gaze shifting to the despairing Renee, her anger rising.

"Pearl, that's a wild accusation. I have nothing against her. I've been using her as leverage over you, so her death wouldn't benefit me in any way," Hugo explained, but Pearl didn't buy it.

Suddenly, a message from Wayne popped up on her screen, revealing that the information Pearl had sent him wasn't about Jennifer but rather someone with the same name who was also admitted to the hospital.

Pearl felt her strength drain from her body, and her voice quivered as she spoke, "Hugo, it was you. You killed Jennifer."

Hugo was perplexed because he could sense that the situation was far more complex than Pearl's accusation implied.

"I didn't do it, so I won't admit to it," Hugo retorted before abruptly hanging up.

He had manipulated the information to prevent her from transferring Jennifer, but who was responsible for swapping Jennifer's medication? Hugo pondered this as he called Abby.

"Did you have a hand in this?" Hugo raised his voice at her. "Did you switch out the medications? She's dead now. Did you do it?"

Amused, Abby chuckled. "Hugo, what are you talking about? Who's dead?"

"Abby, I agreed to work with you because I believed we had the same goal. But if you've turned against me, this partnership is over," he warned.

Renee remained silent, sitting on the floor with vacant eyes.

"Even though… your mother is no longer around, she still loves you. Every life has to come to an end eventually, and this might be a peaceful release for your mom, right?" Pearl embraced her gently, offering soothing words.

Renee burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably. "My mom... she told me to be strong, no matter what happened, but she's gone now. I don't know what to do…"

She cried and clung to Pearl's sleeve, who comforted her by patting her back.

"Don't worry, I'll help you so she can rest in peace."
