Esther's words came from the depths of her heart, but Pearl sensed that it was all a terrible misunderstanding. She tried to clarify, "Este, please don't make rash decisions. It's not what you think. I—"
Esther shook her head and gave a sad smile. "No, it's not a rash decision. I know many things, but I just never confronted him about them."
Pearl's frown deepened. Was there more going on that others didn't know about?
Esther decided to lay it all out. "Since you're family, I won't hide this from you. Mobius, you met up with another girl secretly, and you even went to a hotel. Do you think I was too stupid to find out?"
"Este, I—" Mobius's initial seriousness immediately wavered, and he found himself at a loss for words.
After seeing him stutter, Pearl's heart went cold. "Is that true, Mobius?" She knew Mobius well enough to believe he wasn't a cheater, but seeing him being confronted like this made her question the situation.
Mobius looked around anxiously before stammering out, "Pea, that was my friend. We had a teambuilding event, and my friends asked me to drop her off. I couldn't get her to tell me her address, so I took her to the hotel, but nothing happened."
"Do you know how I found out?" Esther smirked sadly and pulled out her phone, shocking everyone with a photo.
The image clearly showed Mobius and the girl on a hotel bed, their skin exposed, appearing quite intimate.
