Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Pearl stood there, watching. She didn't want to get involved with their family matter, but the moment Susan fainted, she rushed forward.

Checking Susan's pulse, Pearl confirmed it was just a fainting spell due to overwhelming emotions, letting out a sigh of relief. "She's fine. Let's get her to her room to rest," she instructed.

Ramona hurried over and assisted Susan to her room, leaving only three of them remaining.

"Where's Hanzel and Sean? Why haven't they returned yet?" Richard asked.

Dustan looked like he aged ten years, his voice weak. "I've asked the butler to inform them. They should be back soon."

Richard had a bad feeling. He feared for Hanzel and Sean's safety, considering accidents often occur when emotions run high.

After half an hour, the two finally arrived, bringing relief to everyone.

"What happened, Rick?"

Hanzel had always been close to Mobius, so when he heard the news, he was devastated. "Is he really dead?" He stared at the box of ashes and couldn't believe his brother was in there. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

"Yes, there was an accident during his race," Richard replied, his own heart heavy with the weight of the truth. He didn't want to keep repeating what had happened. Every time he said it, his heart ached more.

Sean remained silent, but his troubled expression spoke volumes. Though not blood-related, he and Mobius had grown up together.

He never imagined this day would come. Mobius, the most carefree of the siblings, had always been by his side, even in the face of adversity. Even a person like Hugo didn't do anything to him. How could an innocent young man like him leave them?

Sean looked up, struggling to hold back tears. "How did the accident happen?" he inquired, sensing there was more to the story. "I have a feeling there's something we're not being told."

Richard met Sean's gaze, recognizing his sharp intuition. "There's no hidden reason. He was simply driving too fast."

Hanzel wiped away his tears. "No, that doesn't make sense. He's a skilled driver. Why would he take such a risk?"

"Maybe he was just eager to win," Richard suggested.

Sean squinted, hands tucked in his pockets as he stood apart. The explanation didn't sit right with him. "But Mobius wasn't the type to care about winning at any cost. Why would he speed up just to win the race? He's a racer. Wouldn't he know how dangerous that was?"

"Do you know you rub your sleeves when you lie, Rick?" Sean remarked suddenly, a strange look in his eyes.

Richard looked at his hand and realized he wasn't doing that, but Sean chuckled, giving him a weird look. "I lied. Did you fall for it?"
