Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

"Fiona?" James's expression darkened. "Why did she want to hurt Sabrina?"

"I don't know. I just did what she paid me for. Miss Fiona said she'd give me 270 thousand dollars when it's done."

Diego trembled a lot while kneeling on the floor. If he had known, he would never have accepted such a hard job. He couldn't believe he agreed to do something like that. Knowing James, he was definitely going to teach him a tough lesson.

Diego felt very worried, thinking about what was going to happen to him.

"What else did Fiona tell you?"

"She... She told me to make it look like Miss Esther did it, to make everyone think Miss Esther was the bad one."

So, Fiona's plan was just to accuse Esther wrongly. Now everyone knew the truth.

Pearl raised her brow and looked at Claude disdainfully. "Next time, make sure you have all the facts and evidence before you try to arrest someone, okay, Mister Claude?" Claude knew he had acted impulsively. He was really embarrassed.

So, he got really mad at Diego. "You harmed Sabrina and Esther, didn't you?"

Diego widened his eyes and denied it before things got worse. "I just harmed Miss Esther. But I didn't push Miss Sabrina into the lake,"

"So, you're saying Fiona pushed Sabrina into the lake, right?"

Diego kept nodding.

"Okay, got it." Claude signaled, and his bodyguards came and took Diego away.

Now everyone knew Esther did nothing wrong. She grabbed Pearl's hand happily. "Pearl, did you get that on video?"

Pearl had great foresight! She was awesome!

Pearl chuckled. "No, I wasn't that smart to record that beforehand. And a tiny ring can't do all that."

Esther was stunned. "So, you were bluffing?"

"Yeah." Pearl blinked. "That person was too dumb to tell."

Esther gave her a thumbs-up. "You're amazing. How did you know someone else pushed Sabrina?"

Pearl explained calmly, "He wouldThis text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Pearl had spent some time in Streamville before and knew that one needed both hands to use the oars of those wooden boats Diego didn't think of that.

"Fiona is really sneaky. First, she pushed Sabrina into the water and tried to make it look like I did it. Then she got Chloe to cause a scene at my engagement party." Esther was fuming with anger.

"There's one more thing."

Esther turned around and asked, "What is it?"

Pearl looked serious and calm. "How did Fiona take 27 thousand dollars from your credit card?" "Right, there was that 27 thousand dollars charge. How did Fiona do that?" Esther wondered.
