Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 1391

Pearl looked at Luther, recalling what he had just said, and it seemed to confirm her suspicions. "So where exactly is Simon?"

Luther glanced at her with amusement and replied bluntly, "He's dead. As simple as that."

Even though she had guessed the answer, hearing the truth still brought tears to her eyes. "How did he die?"

Luther rubbed his brow, appearing somewhat troubled. "I caused the accident in your lab. My intention was to knock you two out and take you away. However, one of my men miscalculated the explosives, causing the lab to collapse before we could save both of you. Your mentor was closer to the epicenter, so I could only rescue you."

"You're despicable, Luther!" Pearl felt an overwhelming urge to exact vengeance when she found out he was the one who caused Simon's death.

Simon was a gentle soul, never one to engage in conflicts or harbor grudges. He was a renowned physician who could have helped so many more people, but Luther's actions ruined that potential for the sake of his selfish desires.

Pearl could no longer contain her tears. "I'll never forgive you, Luther."

The maid just stood there, unsure how to react.
