Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Chapter 1222

"By the way, I found out something about what you wanted me to check earlier," Wayne said carefully, noticing Pearl looked upset. "Jasmine was in an accident on her way to the airport. It was with a truck that didn't have a license. People who saw it said the truck was empty and the driver ran away."

"Did you check the cameras around there?"

Wayne shook his head. "For some reason, the cameras on that street were out that day."

"So, we don't have any proof?"

Wayne sighed. "Not exactly, but it'll be hard to find anything. And even if I do, it might not help us catch the person."

Pearl felt defeated after hearing this. "Okay, you can go back to the office now."

"I did find something that might help, Pea."

"What is it?"

"The driver was last seen at a cafe near Lawson Enterprises."

Pearl's expression turned cold. "Okay."Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Lorrie was relaxing and reading when her office door suddenly opened. She looked up, half-expecting this to happen.

Her assistant looked anxious. "I couldn't stop her."

Pearl stood in the doorway, clearly angry. Seeing Pearl like this actually made Lorrie happy.

"Fancy seeing you here again."

Pearl scoffed. "There's no one else here so drop the act."

Lorrie glanced at the assistant, who left and closed the door behind her. Now it was just the two of them.

"I'm not sure what you mean. What act?"

Pearl took a deep breath to calm herself down. "Jasmine is dead. Did you do it?"

Although it was a question, Lorrie could tell Pearl already thought she knew the answer. She set her paper down and said calmly, "I didn't know she's gone. I don't even know who she is."

"Stop pretending. I know what you told her when you went to her home."

That surprised Lorrie. She hadn't expected Pearl to know about the visit, thinking they were alone.

"Okay, I know her. But does that mean I did something to her?" Lorrie doubted Pearl had any real proof. "Do you remember the last thing you said to her?"

Lorrie tried to remember her words, but she decided to play ignorant. "I don't recall."

Pearl wasn't going to show her hand without evidence. "Let me refresh your memory then." She took out her phone and played a recording.

Hearing the voice from the recording, Lorrie turned pale. "You were recording."
