Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl Novel novel Chapter 127

Chapter 127 

No matter how many times she called, she couldn’t get through to Renee. 

Renee’s home wasn’t too far away, so Pearl got there in around ten minutes. She rushed out of the car and 

knocked on the door, but there was no response. 

She suddenly remembered the spare key Renee had given her and quickly used it to unlock the door. She was shocked by the messiness inside, with blood stains covering the floor. 

Pearl cautiously entered the house and saw someone lying behind the couch, their hair and clothes disheveled. There was a deep cut across their throat, and it appeared they had suffered humiliation. 

Pearl checked for signs of breathing, but there were none. Her tears started falling. 

The person she had sought to protect had met a tragic end. 

Pearl felt an overwhelming sense of guilt, and her hatred for Hugo deepened. She immediately called him, her voice breaking. “Hugo Waldorf, you’re a murderer!” 

“What?” 

“Why did you kill Renee?” 

“I didn’t.” 

“Who else would have done this?” 

Hugo shook his head. “I can’t tell you.” 

“Are you trying to show that you have a conscience, but it’s not that great?” Pearl chuckled bitterly, her grip on the phone tightening. “Thank you so much for warning me that she was going to be killed.” 

“Pearl, don’t overthink it. She was never related to you in the first place.” 

Tired of his bullshit, Pearl hung up. 

Renee’s passing left Pearl sleepless for several days. After Richard learned about the tragedy, he assisted with Renee’s funeral arrangements and, upon discovering that she was recovering well, discharged her from the hospital. He didn’t want her to be reminded of the painful memories associated with the place. 

Pearl asked Wayne to investigate the murders of Renee and Jennifer, but the perpetrator had covered their tracks well. The hospital claimed it was a medication error by a nurse, resulting in the hospital paying a substantial settlement. On Renee’s side, there were no apparent traces left behind. 

Pearl knew that finding the killer wouldn’t be easy, so she instructed Wayne to continue the investigation 

while she returned to work. 

Abby had managed to build good relationships with her colleagues, and it seemed they had forgotten her past misdeeds, growing closer to her once again. However, this was typical human behavior.
