Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Chapter 32

After that little hiccup, Pearl instructed Wayne to find the culprit.

As expected, Abby was the one who bribed a reporter to get that photograph and post it on the Internet. Pearl realized that she had been too lenient with Flores Firms since Abby could still scheme against her.

“Wayne, cancel all contracts between Cerubleu and Flores Firms, including the ongoing ones. Pay off the compensation for the breach of contracts.”

With an icy expression, Wayne remarked, “I knew it was Abby. Don’t worry, Miss Pearl. I won’t let her off the hook”

Flores Firms was set to lose hundreds of millions of dollars without Cerubleu.

Richard became suspicious when Cerubleu announced they would cease cooperating with Flores Firms. The company seemed to always encounter a crisis whenever something happened to Pearl. He wondered if Wayne was avenging Pearl.

Pearl was about to leave after confirming the final proposal with Richard when the latter stopped her. “I have a question for you.”

Pearl did not feel like talking to him about anything other than business after he had doubted her. “If it’s something personal, I’m not interested.”

“Are

you the mastermind behind Flores Firms‘ crises?”

After a moment of shock, Pearl burst into laughter. “Do you really think I have the power to ruin a large company like Flores Firms?”

Richard’s face sank. “You don’t, but Wayne and Cerubleu do. I know Abby isn’t very likable, but you don’t have to do this to her.”

Mister Richard? You’re scolding me on her behalf.” Pearl’s gaze was bone- chilling, and her words made Richard frown in confusion.
