Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 671

Chapter 671

Flames were everywhere, engulfing everything in their path, reaching several feet high.

“Pearl! Richard! Where are you?"

Esther was overcome with anxiety as she couldn't fathom why Jenny, the deranged woman, had ignited such a massive gas station. Did she intend to die along with them?

Her fear mounted, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Do you think they'll die in there? The fire is so big, how could they make it out?"

“We got here too late. I only saw the message ten minutes after it was sent. If only I had seen it earlier, this might not have happened..."

“IT can smell something roasting... Pearl must be burning.” Mobius pulled her into his arms, and his lips twitched when he saw her trying to sniff out the source of the smell while still crying.

"It's the roast potatoes we just bought!'' Esther lowered her head and noticed the potatoes Mobius was holding and grabbed one. Taking a bite, she scalded her tongue and resumed crying. "Pearl won't get to taste such delicious roast potatoes anymore. Pearl..."

“Why are you crying as if someone died?" A crisp woman's voice interrupted her.

Esther turned around and saw Pearl and Richard , their faces covered in ash, but miraculously unscathed.

"Pearl!"

Esther tossed the potato aside and rushed to Pearl, embracing her tightly.

Pearl used her finger to gently push Esther away. "I'm covered in soot. I'll give you a hug after I take a shower."

Esther suddenly remembered something. "I have a question. Where's Jenny?"

“Dead, maybe..." Pearl's expression became somber. The fire had been so intense, and Jenny didn't seem to possess a strong will to survive, so there was a good chance she died in the blaze.

Despite her disdain for Jenny, Pear] still felt a pang at the thought of someone dying right before her eyes.

Richard came downstairs with his hair still dripping wet, his expression grave as he held his phone.

“What's going on?" Pearl sensed something was wrong. Richard wouldn't typically present himself in such a disheveled state. He would have at least dried his hair.

After a pause, Richard spoke, his lips moving slowly. "The firefighters reported finding someone at the gas station, and there were still signs of life."
