Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 148

"What's your next move?" Wayne frowned. "You can't just leave under this false accusation. It's like you're trying to escape punishment."

Laughing, Pearl said, "Of course not. I won't stand for this false accusation. Right now, the most important thing is to find proof that Abby pushed Richard's mother down the stairs."

Wayne tilted his head thoughtfully. "What's your plan?"

"There's no surveillance system in the house, and there were only three of us at the top of the stairs at that time. I don't have eyewitnesses, but Abby said something harsh before pushing Richard's mother. I'm certain Richard's mother heard it. So..."

Enlightened, Wayne interrupted, "So, we should wait for her to wake up and have her testify against Abby."

"Pretty close." Pearl smiled and shook her head. "What we need to do is make Abby confess her wrongdoing and secretly record her statement, as I can't guarantee she won't attempt anything against Richard's mother again."

Her words made Wayne frown. "She's so cruel that she might even harm the woman who took care of her."

"People can be blinded by love, but Abby has taken ruthless measures."

Wayne commended her, "Miss Pearl, you did a very good analysis. But how do you feel about Richard? You don't seem very pleased, given that you're drowning your sorrows in wine."

Pearl undoubtedly felt disappointed and hurt.

She smiled, taking a sip of the bitter wine. "Let's not dwell on that. I need your help with something right now."

Leaning against the sofa languidly, Wayne suddenly straightened up at her request. "Go ahead. What is it?"

After a few more glasses of wine, Pearl began to feel dizzy, her stomach churning. She decided to head to the restroom.

As she reached the restroom, she spotted a familiar figure. She wondered if it was Richard and why he was there.

But before she could address him, the figure turned around. While he resembled Richard, it wasn't him.

A sudden desire grabbed the man's reason when he saw the drunk woman getting close to him.

"Hey, pretty. Where are you from? Why did you drink so much? I feel sorry for you."

Pearl found him familiar but couldn't recall who he was. She staggered and took a step back as he approached.
