Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl Novel novel Chapter 811

Pearl couldn't shake the feeling that Estrella might be the author of the memoir due to its realistic portrayal.

She tried to call Estrella. Her attempts to reach her proved futile as she couldn't get through to her. Left with no other option, she settled down to read the memoir attentively.

Written in a third-person perspective, it recounted a brief but memorable high school romance.

Estrella's first encounter with Silas at sixteen was highlighted, set against the backdrop of a scorching summer day. During a stamina test at school, exhaustion overcame many, including Estrella, who was frail and prone to sickness since childhood. Her delicate appearance earned her the nickname of a charming but fragile goddess, although envy and disdain lingered among some peers.

After collapsing from exhaustion, Estrella suffered further when a fellow student callously stepped on her wrists, causing her immense pain.

"Why did you suddenly scream? I just walked beside you and did nothing. Don't frame me." The aggressor, feigning innocence, mocked Estrella's reaction, attracting laughter from onlookers.

"Alas, the sick lady must be putting on an act again. You just brushed past her, but she made it sound like you've stepped on her," another girl said, mocking Estrella as well.

The other girls in the class were not close with Estrella because the latter was charming and had snatched away everyone's limelight. At that time, they watched her misfortune, using the incident as a distraction from their own post-test stress.

"You stepped on my hand. Say sorry." Estrella demanded an apology, only to be met with denial and ridicule.
