Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Chapter 1223

Pearl was cunning as always.

"I made a recording, just in case someone tries to deny anything." Even though Pearl was upset, she felt bad about Jasmine's death and the pain it caused Chester.

"Really, you think you can prove I did anything wrong with just that recording? No one will believe you, and I wouldn't either." Lorrie shrugged. "I could just say you edited it."

Seeing Lorrie's smug look, Pearl played another recording on her phone.

"You were recording... Really, you think you can prove I did anything wrong with just that recording..."

Lorrie's confidence vanished. "Why are you bothering me?"

Pearl put her phone away. "Can we talk properly now?"

Lorrie suppressed her anger. "Sure. Take a seat."

Pearl sat down and asked, "Why did you kill Jasmine?"

Lorrie smiled and shook her head. "I'm not going to answer that. Also, I never admitted to killing Jasmine.

"

After the two recordings, Lorrie became more cautious and picked her words carefully.

Pearl knew she couldn't make her confess, so she asked a different question. "Why did you come back?" Lorrie couldn't help but smile, impressed at her changing the topic. "You're still as determined as before." "So, can you answer my question now?"

Lorrie poured a cup of tea for her. "Calm down. Shouldn't we be relaxed, like old friends?"

Pearl didn't think they were friends.

"I don't have a motive. I just think there's no place like home," Lorrie explained, making it sound simple.

But Pearl thought she was back for revenge. "Didn't try to see Richard after coming back?"

Lorrie's smile hid a flash of hatred. "He's your husband now. I stay away from married men."

"I guess you've changed after facing death."

"Thanks."Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

Pearl sighed. Her attempt to provoke Lorrie failed. Lorrie had changed; the old Jenny would have lost her temper in the past.

Now, Pearl needed to be extra cautious.

"Anything else you'd like to discuss? I need to get back to work and I have meetings lined up." Lorrie glanced at the clock, appearing apologetic. "Let's schedule a time for a better chat later."

Pearl stood up. "In that case, I'll let you get on with your day."

Lorrie just responded with a gentle smile.

Pearl's gaze then drifted to a cross hanging on the wall. "Since when did you become religious?"

Lorried tucked her hair behind her ear and smiled. "I thought I was going to die. Now that I survived, don't you think that's a miracle? It's like a message from above, telling me I'm meant to keep living. But I can't

help feeling angry because those who hurt me haven't paid for what they did."
