Chapter 216

“Are you alright, Pearl?”

Richard’s voice was filled with anxiety, and he sounded genuinely concerned. He immediately recognized Pearl as the person featured in the trending news, even from a distance.

Pearl was about to laugh when she decided to disguise her voice to prevent him from recognizing her. She held her throat and changed her tone, saying, “I’m sorry, sir. The owner of the phone passed away half an hour ago. May I know who’s calling?” Richard’s voice froze. “I’m her boyfriend. Is she really dead?”

His voice sounded neutral, but Pearl had a bad feeling. “Yes sir. We’re going to cremate her soon.”

“Is this funny to you, Pearl?” Richard couldn’t stand it anymore and called her out.

Peard was surprised. “How did you know it was me? I thought I was hiding it well.”

“How could I not recognize your voice?” He took a deep breath. “Don’t you lie to me again.” It sounded like he was reminding his girlfriend.
