Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 216

"Are you alright, Pearl?"

Richard's voice was filled with anxiety, and he sounded genuinely concerned. He immediately recognized Pearl as the person featured in the trending news, even from a distance.

Pearl was about to laugh when she decided to disguise her voice to prevent him from recognizing her. She held her throat and changed her tone, saying, "I'm sorry, sir. The owner of the phone passed away half an hour ago. May I know who's calling?"

Richard's voice froze. "I'm her boyfriend. Is she really dead?"

His voice sounded neutral, but Pearl had a bad feeling. "Yes sir. We're going to cremate her soon."

"Is this funny to you, Pearl?" Richard couldn't stand it anymore and called her out.

Peard was surprised. "How did you know it was me? I thought I was hiding it well."

"How could I not recognize your voice?" He took a deep breath. "Don't you lie to me again." It sounded like he was reminding his girlfriend.

"Too much time on your hands? Why do you care?"

Richard answered her question with a question, "The last picture in the news showed Hanzel holding you. Did you go to the park together?"

Pearl detected a touch of anger in his voice, and she thought it was awkward. "I'm going to hang up if you have nothing else to say. I need to make another call."

Pearl immediately hung up and called Wayne. "Wayne, help me get rid of the news about me."
