Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl



Chapter 1357

Pearl opened the folder nervously. Everything seemed normal until she spotted a strangely named folder at the back labeled "PL," her initials.

Her heart raced. The document was created five years ago, which made her even more uneasy.

Richard's earlier words echoed in her mind as she hesitantly clicked on the document. Its contents were so shocking that she was speechless.

Overwhelmed, Pearl quickly logged off the computer. She left work with mixed emotions and headed to the cafe just downstairs from her office. It was lunchtime, so the cafe was quiet.noveldrama

Luther was already there, sitting in their usual corner spot, calmly sipping his coffee. He greeted her with a smile and stood up, pulling out a chair for her like a true gentleman.

Pearl sat down, noticing her favorite Blue Mountain Coffee already waiting for her, complete with sugar cubes on the side a thoughtful touch.

"Aren't we supposed to watch the fireworks? When are we leaving?" Pearl asked. After what she had discovered earlier, she wasn't in the mood for small talk. She just wanted to end that night's activity quickly.

"No rush. Let's eat something first. We'll head to the fireworks after," Luther replied calmly. They ate quickly and then drove to the fireworks festival at the beach. The city's proximity to the sea made the beach a favorite spot for Pearl, who found solace in its deep blue waters and quiet waves.

The festival crowd was larger than usual, but Pearl felt a sense of freedom as she walked barefoot on the soft sand. Luther watched her from behind, smiling.

"Pearl, the fireworks start in thirty minutes. I need to take care of something, but don't wander off too far," he advised.

Relieved to have some time away from him, Pearl nodded and continued to enjoy her walk. Luther left, and she wandered off, enjoying the simple pleasure of the beach.

Then, she accidentally stepped on something hard. It hurt, and she bent down to see what it was-a striking white stone, which captured her attention.

Just as she was distracted by the stone, the beach lights suddenly went out. Startled, Pearl dropped the stone.

At that moment, a voice announced over a crackly microphone, "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to today's Fireworks Festival. Enjoy the evening."

Pearl recognized the voice-it was Luther. It turned out that he had organized the festival. She briefly wondered if it was all just a promotional event for Luther Corp, but she didn't dwell on it.

However, the next events took an even more surprising turn, leaving Pearl shocked beyond words.
