Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl



Chapter 1392

"Sure, do as you please," Luther replied.

Seeing him so confident, Pearl suddenly had a bad feeling. "Are you involved with the authorities here?"

"No, of course not. I don't have the power to bribe the cops. What I mean is, I'll confess."

"You will?" Pearl never expected Luther to give in so easily. Seeing the calmness in his eyes, she became even more puzzled.

Soon, the police barged in. "Who's Luther Crawford?"

Luther leisurely set his glass aside and chuckled, "That'd be me, the person you're looking for."

The police were surprised by how casually Luther admitted it. After a moment of shock, they quickly got to work and cuffed him. "Luther Crawford, do you have anything else to say?" Luther looked somewhat embarrassed and gently shook his head. "No."

"Do you regret what you've done?"

"Why should I?" Luther smirked, still as mild-mannered as before. "Fate's wheel keeps us moving forward, and everything I've done has been deliberate."

After that, the police escorted him out of the house.

Pearl watched his silent departure, feeling a whirlwind of emotions.

When Richard's illness was almost cured, he and Pearl went through a series of procedures for Darius. Then, they returned to the country together.

As the plane was about to land, Wayne cautiously leaned in and whispered to Pearl, "Be careful when we arrive. Esther's not quite right. Ever since you disappeared, she started crying and frantically looked for you. After that, she seems like a completely different person."

Pearl's mouth twitched slightly. "How bad is it?"noveldrama

Wayne awkwardly smiled, giving her a knowing look.

Pearl didn't think much when she heard Esther would be coming to pick them up today. She thought Esther had gotten used to the fact that she was still alive.

But as soon as they stepped off the plane, they were quickly surrounded by a group of towering bodyguards. The situation was incredibly embarrassing, especially considering they were at the airport.

Pearl covered her face, sighing helplessly.

Suddenly, the circle of bodyguards dispersed, making way, and then she heard the sound of high heels.

Pearl looked up and saw Esther, just as Wayne had described. She looked completely different now. She had straight, long black hair and was dressed in a pink camisole paired with a tight black leather skirt, giving off a cool yet sexy vibe.

Pearl wondered if this was the cute and well-behaved Esther that she knew.

Meanwhile, Pearl had completely transformed into a mom figure during the years of living abroad. Though not exactly out of shape, she had a more gentle aura now.
