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.

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.”

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.”
