Female Novel
Chapter 620
Chapter 620
As Pearl hurriedly made her way back to Sean, she passed by a fashion store and grabbed a fewnovelbin
clothes that could be easily torn. She quickly drenched them in the washroom before returning to
Sean’s side.
When Sean saw her come back safely, a sigh of relief escaped him.
Pearl explained the situation, her tone serious, “The firefighting equipment is ruined. I suspect
someone wants to kill us after they learned about our whereabouts today.”
But Sean was suspicious. “Are you sure we’re the target?”
Pearl replied matter–of–factly, “I can’t be certain, but I have plenty of enemies. There’s not much I can
do about it.”
She spoke casually, as though discussing a mundane matter, but Sean wore a grim expression. He
couldn’t help but wonder why she seemed almost proud of having so many enemies. Her nonchalant
attitude left him uneasy.
Pearl couldn’t contain her laughter when she noticed Sean’s discomfort. “Alright, I’ll stop joking. Cover
your mouth with this. Let’s see if we can find a way out later.” She tossed him one of the drenched
pieces of clothing.
Sean instinctively caught it but was taken aback to find it was a female singlet. His face turned bright
red in embarrassment. “How could you give me this?”
Pearl was busy handing around the drenched clothes. She turned around and told him, “Your life is
more important than your dignity right now. Just take it.”
Sean’s question had drawn the attention of those around him. A tall man like him blushing while holding
a singlet certainly piqued curiosity under normal circumstances. However, everyone was more
concerned about escaping the fire and their uncertain fate, so they didn’t pay him much mind.
Sean resigned to his fate and put the singlet to his nose. He was grateful for the protection it offered
and felt that he didn’t have to be embarrassed about it. After all, the singlet was merely a piece of
cloth.
Once Pearl confirmed that everyone had a cloth to cover their nose and mouth, she led them
downstairs to assess the situation. The fire had grown larger, casting an eerie glow on the entire third
floor.
Frowning, Pearl instructed everyone to move back. She anticipated her team would arrive sooner than
the firefighters.
But three minutes had passed, and her men had yet to reach them. Frustrated, Pearl retreated to a
corner and activated her receiver.
She heard a voice on the other end, sounding anxious, “Boss, we’re downstairs.”
Only then did Pearl feel calmer. “How long until you reach the third floor?”
“The fire is very big. We’re still putting the fire out on the first floor.”
Pearl clenched her fists, realizing the severity of the situation. If the fire continued to spread, they would
have to retreat to the fifth floor. The mall was relatively small, with only six floors.

If the fire persisted, the entire structure might collapse.

Feeling nervous, Pearl quickly devised a plan and instructed her team, “Don’t focus on extinguishing
the fire for now. Prevent it from spreading and create a safe path through the stairs. Evacuate the
people on the fourth floor first.”
The person on the other end of the line understood her instructions, quickly hanging up to carry out the
rescue operation.
Sean had observed Pearl’s covert actions nearby and couldn’t resist teasing her, “Boss? I didn’t expect
there’s still something I didn’t know about you.” She always had the ability to surprise others.
Alarm bells rang in Pearl’s head as she realized it could be detrimental if Sean discovered her true
identity, despite his feelings for her. She couldn’t afford for anyone to find out she was the founder of
Evil Spirits.
