Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Pearl felt a surge of emotion. It seemed like fate was on her side this time. Lorrie had nowhere to escape now.

After that, Pearl had someone spread all this information online.

In addition to the evidence she gathered, she had help from Richard. Looking at the gruesome evidence, Pearl couldn't believe this woman could do such disgusting things as setting up a laboratory to develop viruses. Not only were Lorrie's morals twisted, but she had also stooped to despicable lows.

It wasn't easy to deal with Lorrie, so the only way to completely bring down Lawson Enterprises was to leverage the power of public opinion.

Once this news spread online, it sparked an immediate uproar. Since everyone was forced to stay home during the epidemic, there were even more people online than usual.

People were outraged when they learned that Lawson Enterprises was responsible for their plight. Some even threatened to march to the company and tear down its signboard.

The shares of Lawson Enterprises plummeted, and there was a flood of criticism online. Unaware of Lorrie's actions, the senior management began resigning and offloading their shares upon learning of her heinous deeds.

Suddenly, Lawson Enterprises became the target of public criticism, and Lorrie became public enemy number one.

Lawson Enterprises was now in jeopardy.

Lorrie never imagined that, despite being so careful, her misdeeds were magnified for all to see. Though somewhat flustered, she knew this evidence wasn't enough to bring her down, and she still had a card up her sleeve. She knew exactly who leaked this evidence.

Lorrie sent a message to Pearl. [Let's talk.]

Although Lorrie couldn't wait and finally came to Pearl herself, Pearl had lost the patience to talk to her.

Pearl replied, [I don't think there's any need to talk now.]

[There is because this epidemic isn't over yet.]

Pearl raised an eyebrow, suddenly feeling uneasy. [What do you mean? Are you planning something?]

[Nope. Since the situation has escalated to this point, if you're unwilling to have a proper conversation, everyone in Enswood will suffer along with you.]

Pearl felt like this wasn't an empty threat. This woman is capable of such madness, and something flashed through Pearl's mind. [Mutant virus?]

[You're as annoyingly smart as ever, Pearl. That's right, I've developed an even more powerful virus. If you're unwilling to talk tonight, I swear this virus will spread all over Enswood tonight.]

Unsatisfied after delivering that message, Lorrie added, [Also, there's something I must tell you. Those infected before are more likely to be infected with the mutant virus.]

Was Lorrie threatening her using Esther? Pearl realized she had been hasty in publicizing these matters, her expression darkening. [What time?]

[Eight o'clock tonight at Lawson Enterprises. Come alone.]
