Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 127

No matter how many times she called, she couldn't get through to Renee.

Renee's home wasn't too far away, so Pearl got there in around ten minutes. She rushed out of the car and knocked on the door, but there was no response.

She suddenly remembered the spare key Renee had given her and quickly used it to unlock the door. She was shocked by the messiness inside, with blood stains covering the floor.

Pearl cautiously entered the house and saw someone lying behind the couch, their hair and clothes disheveled. There was a deep cut across their throat, and it appeared they had suffered humiliation.

Pearl checked for signs of breathing, but there were none. Her tears started falling.

The person she had sought to protect had met a tragic end.

Pearl felt an overwhelming sense of guilt, and her hatred for Hugo deepened. She immediately called him, her voice breaking. "Hugo Waldorf, you're a murderer!"

"What?"

"Why did you kill Renee?"

"I didn't."

"Who else would have done this?"

Hugo shook his head. "I can't tell you."

"I'm glad to see you back, Pearl. I thought you were seriously ill since you haven't been at work for the past few days," Abby said, her words carrying a hint of sarcasm, implying that Pearl was simply lazy.

"Richard neglected his work while taking care of you. That's something I've never seen before," Abby added, teasing Pearl.

Pearl had no patience for this kind of banter, especially after witnessing two deaths. "What's the point of all this?"

"Don't be upset, Pearl. I was just joking. I'll stop if you're annoyed," Abby replied, feigning tears.

Others who witnessed the exchange came to Abby's defense. "Miss Pearl, Abby was just concerned about you. Don't be angry with her."
