Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 54

"You don't know if she's yours yet."

When Pearl noticed the increasing tension between Richard and Hanzel, she hurried to a public washroom nearby.

As soon as she entered, she spotted a familiar face she hadn't seen in a long time: Emily.

Emily regarded Pearl with a cold gaze. "Humph! Fate brings enemies together, Pearl."

Not wanting to get entangled in this conflict, Pearl tried to keep things civil. "How have you been, Miss Emily? Did you find a new job?"

Emily's anger flared at the mention of her employment situation. "Don't think you've won just because you got me kicked out of Waldorf Enterprises. I'll make you pay one day!"

Unfazed, Pearl calmly replied, "Whatever."

Emily's anger only grew. Without warning, she stepped forward and tried to slap Pearl.

Pearl reacted quickly, catching Emily's wrist and giving her a stern look. "You're really going to slap me, Emily?"

"Do you even know how tough it's been for me since Waldorf Enterprises let me go? Not even a single company wanted to hire me! You're responsible for my suffering, and I'll get my revenge!" Emily struggled to pull Pearl's hair but Pearl abruptly pushed her away.

Emily stumbled and hit her head against the sink, causing intense pain. When she saw the blood flowing down her neck, she pulled out her phone and dialed the police.

"This was a deliberate attack, Pearl! You'll end up in jail!"

Pearl just watched Emily's anger with a calm demeanor.

Not long after, the police arrived and took both Pearl and Emily into custody. Emily was rushed to the hospital for her head injury, and then she was taken to the police station for her testimony.

Emily knew there were no security cameras in the washroom, so she felt emboldened to twist the truth. "You better confess, Pearl. I can plead with the judge to give you a lighter punishment, but I won't be lenient if you're stubborn."

The police officer frowned. "She's right. You won't be punished severely if you admit it."

Pearl repeated firmly, "It was really self-defense."

Emily raised her voice in frustration. "Stop interrogating her, Officer. She's too stubborn. Just lock her up."

Amused, Pearl chuckled. "What if I have the evidence to prove otherwise?"

Emily scoffed as if she'd heard a preposterous joke. "Come on. I'll eat my hat if you can show the evidence today, Pearl."
