Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 389

Pearl accompanied Esther to the police station to give a statement. The policeman was captivated by Pearl's beauty and found it difficult to be tough on her. He turned to interrogate Esther instead, saying, "You claim it wasn't intentional, but do you have any evidence?"

Esther shook her head. “I don’t know. Maybe the snack was poisoned, but I swear I didn’t do it. I was even about to eat it.”

The policeman frowned. "That explanation isn't very convincing."

Seeing Esther's pale face on the verge of tears, Pearl spoke up, "Officer, I have something to say."

“Go ahead.”

“I suspect someone framed her.”

The policeman suddenly became interested. “How so?”

"First of all, if she wanted to harm someone, she wouldn't wait for the girl to approach her with the food. Instead, she would approach the girl, as offering food makes the other person vulnerable. No sensible person would do it this way."

The policeman nodded thoughtfully. “You make a valid point.”

“Besides, while that girl may be considered beautiful, the difference compared to Esther isn’t substantial. Esther has a good reputation in the production team. You can ask around. There’s no reason for her to act out of jealousy.”

After hearing this explanation, the policeman smiled. “Although your explanation sounds reasonable, you have no evidence, Miss Pearl.”

Pearl clenched her fists. “I know I don’t have any evidence, but I hope you won’t detain Esther until then.”

“But that’s against the law.” The policeman had to follow protocol and couldn’t show favoritism.

"Esther is a public figure. If news spreads that she's detained at the police station, it will affect her career.”

Seeing the change in the policeman’s behavior, Pearl felt disgusted. 'What a snob!'

“I’ve invested in a drama, but the female lead of this drama is detained at the police station. What do you…”

Before Raymond could finish his sentence, the policeman nodded courteously. “Release her, release her now!”

It wasn't until Esther left the police station that she seemed to fully grasp the situation and thanked Raymond, saying, "Thank you, Mister York."

Raymond gave Pearl a meaningful glance and said, “Thank Pearl instead.”

Esther immediately understood that Raymond’s feelings for Pearl were different. She smiled and whispered in Pearl’s ear, “Pearl, look how nice Mister York is. On the surface, he saved me, in reality, he actually cares about you. Why insist on getting entangled with Richard when you could choose Mister York?”
