Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 991

"Someone greased the wheels and intentionally added a smooth substance to keep them slippery. Perhaps things aren't as simple as they seem."

Pearl's expression darkened as the realization sank in. Their suspicions were confirmed—Mobius's death was no accident.

"Since someone was determined to kill Mobius, there might be more than one reason behind it," Pearl added, her voice tinged with anger.

Richard suddenly remembered something that both of them had overlooked. "Most people would check the brakes when the car goes out of control. But what if the person who framed Mobius did the opposite?"

Pearl immediately understood. They opened the car doors again and discovered evidence of tampering with the accelerator. "How despicable!"

While an ordinary person might have assumed the brakes were faulty, their cautious investigation revealed the truth.

"In that case, uncovering the truth won't be easy," Pearl concluded, sharing a significant look with Richard.

But as they prepared to leave, the door suddenly slammed shut.

Richard spotted a familiar figure outside through the door's window—it was Winona!

"Hey, long time no see," she greeted with a smirk, her eyes glinting with malice.

"Winona, if you do this, it could have dire consequences for the Jesseltons," Richard warned calmly, but with an underlying intensity.

This statement made Winona a little nervous, but she scoffed.

"Don't threaten me with my family. They're clueless about this. And with the poor signal here, no one will know I trapped you. Even if someone stumbles upon you, they'll find two starved corpses. You can't intimidate me."

Her arrogance grated on Richard's nerves, his expression turning cold.

"If you doubt it, test me. Let's see who falls first—the two of us or the Jesseltons."
