Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Chapter 1275

Chapter 1275

Esther rushed out of the Crawfords' house, crouched down, and burst into tears.

She felt lost. James had said some really hurtful things. They had been together for a long time and were even planning to get married, so his words shocked her deeply.

Just then, her phone buzzed with a new message. She wiped her tears, took out her phone, and saw it was from Pearl. But the message made her feel even worse.

Pearl had done some digging into James's past. Five years ago, he had been with his first love. She even sent a photo of the woman.

Esther had never met her, but the resemblance between her and the woman in the photo was striking. That explained why James had seemed so into her when they first met—he was reminded of his past.

Despite her doubts, Esther had always tried to believe that James loved her. But this felt like a harsh wake-up call.

Pearl, getting no reply, decided to call Esther.

"Why didn't you text back?" Pearl asked.

Esther tried to hide her crying, but Pearl could easily hear it.

"Did you go see him again?" Pearl asked.

Through her tears, Esther replied, "Yes. I just got back today and went to see him, but he told me to leave."

Pearl sounded frustrated. "I told you not to go."

"I was just worried about him," Esther explained.

"And? Did he appreciate that?" Pearl asked.

"...No."

"Where are you? I'm coming to get you," Pearl said firmly.

Esther had been squatting too long and stood up, feeling dizzy. "No, it's okay. Where are you? I'll come to you."

"It's not safe in Enswood right now, and you can't get a taxi. Just send me your location and stay there. I'll be there soon."
