Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Winona was suddenly speechless. She had planned to argue but realized that what Pearl said seemed to make sense.

The Waldorfs were actually wealthier than she thought. If Richard wouldn't spend this money on her, how could he show affection for her? She heard he didn't think twice about spending on Pearl. With this in mind, Winona bit her lip and looked at Richard shyly. "What should we do, Richard?" Letting him decide also allowed her to gauge his true feelings.

Richard understood what was going on, so he stopped arguing. He responded confidently, "The Waldorfs can afford 40 million."

Hugo laughed. "You're always so generous, bro."

Pearl joined in on Hugo's teasing, nearly giving herself away. "Well, since Mister Richard is feeling generous, let's not drag this out," she said, pointing to the contract. "Gentlemen, let's sign." Richard didn't want to engage in further conversation and quickly signed, passing the contract to her.
