Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl



Chapter 1293

"If you take one more step, I'll release that mutated virus right away."

Pearl turned her head, her gaze icy. "What do you want?"

"I've said it countless times, chat with me."

Pearl could only sit back. "Fine, talk then."

Lorrie smiled, a glint in her eyes that Pearl couldn't decipher. "Do you know what I've been through all these years?"

Of course, Pearl had no idea. To her, Jenny had died a long time ago.

Lorrie poured herself a glass of wine and continued, "I suppose it's pointless to ask. I'll just tell you about it.

"Three years ago, when I was in a coma, Hugo, the man who claimed to love me forever, actually bribed the nurse to remove my oxygen tank."

Pearl listened in silence.

"I didn't know anything at that time, but the plan didn't succeed because the nurse he bribed happened to be a relative of mine," Lorrie spoke with a hint of gratefulness on her face after the ordeal.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

"That nurse wouldn't harm me, so she secretly saved me. When Hugo returned home, she diligently cared for me, and somehow I miraculously woke up. Do you think fate played a hand in this?

"After I regained consciousness, she told me everything that happened. I couldn't believe Hugo would harm me, so after much thought, I was sure it was your doing. Hugo must have been seeking revenge for you.

"So later on, I tried every possible means. I first changed my identity because the name Jenny Sullivan was already tarnished. Only then could I have the freedom to do what I wanted. You have no idea what I've done to climb higher."

Those memories were like needles, deeply embedded in her heart, haunting her dreams with nauseating images.

"The one Hugo met when he was a child was you. I took over your identity and did many despicable things to you. So you held a grudge against me and devised this plan to retaliate."

Pearl responded lightly, "I don't even know any of what you're saying."

"Can you stop pretending to be innocent all the time? It's quite annoying," Lorrie snapped. You're the one who ruined the relationship between Richard and me, and that's why I'm like this now. How dare you act all noble!"

Lorrie's emotions were getting out of control, and Pearl worried she might do something

extreme, so she kept her guard up. She asked, "So, have your acts of revenge brought you satisfaction?"

Lorrie burst into laughter. "You're too full of yourself, Pearl. Do you really think I returned just to snatch Richard away? I'm not a hopeless romantic."

"What do you want then?"

Lorrie glared at her. "I want to destroy you, Richard, and everyone you care about."
