Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Chapter 1040

After hearing James's revelation, Esther couldn't hide the awkwardness in her eyes. "So, after that..."

"I spent two years finishing all my university classes, then took over my dad's business," James explained. "I wanted to help you lose weight, but when I found out you already had and had become an actress, bought all the magazines featuring you in your debut year. I played a big part in your rise to fame, about 80% of it."

Esther was dumbfounded by the unexpected confession. The more she thought about it, the more ridiculous it seemed.

"Why didn't you ever make yourself known?" she asked, intrigued by the presence of such a big financier supporting her without ever having heard of him.

"I wasn't planning to, especially after I found out you had fallen for Mobius," James admitted.

Esther's mind wandered back to memories of Mobius, who had been a significant presence in her past. She was young, and it would be difficult for her to forget him, who had stood up for her and occupied a huge part of her youth. So much so, that James, who had been secretly supporting her, never once appeared before her.
