Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 1215

"It's up to you if you want to help or not. I never made any threats."

Jasmine trembled angrily when Lorrie acted like she wasn't responsible. "But you did threaten me."

"No, I didn't. If I really wanted to threaten you, I would've told Richard about it. Imagine if he knew you used his sperm to have this baby, do you think they'd let you off easily?"

Jasmine wanted to stop Lorrie from saying more, but it was too late. Both Pearl and Richard heard everything clearly.

Knowing they had heard, Jasmine took a risk and pushed Lorrie hard.

Lorrie stumbled back, surprised and angry. "Why are you pushing me? What's wrong with you?"

"Now that you've spilled the beans," Jasmine said sharply, "Get out of my house now!"

Even though Chester looked upset, he seemed to be familiar with these kinds of arguments.

Lorrie looked at Jasmine with anger. "You'll regret this. Just wait, I'll make you suffer!"

Then, she stormed out, slamming the door behind her.

Jasmine squatted down and held Chester's hand. "Please, stay away from that woman, okay?"

Chester looked sad and said, "But I don't think she's a bad guy."

Hearing this, Jasmine's anger vanished, replaced by tears she had been holding back.

Pearl and Richard watched as Jasmine cried uncontrollably. After a while, she calmed down, knowing she had to make amends.

"I'm sorry," she said, though it was late for apologies.

Then, she knelt down to talk to her son, trying to be gentle. "Chet, I was wrong to try and hit you. Why don't you go play in your room for a bit, okay?"

Chester was young and didn't understand everything, but he sensed his mom needed to talk to Pearl and Richard alone. "It's okay, Mom. I'm not blaming you," he said, showing maturity beyond his years.

As he returned to his room, Jasmine turned to face Pearl and Richard and fell to her knees.
