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.
