Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard)
Chapter 514

Chapter 514

"That's great." A long sigh of relief escaped Pearl.

She understood Hanzel's feelings well. If he had casually slept with Feather, it would have been a great loss and a source of grievance for Feather.

"I'm going to meet Richard and discuss something with him. Rest well."

As Pearl was about to leave, Hanzel stopped her. "Are you going to talk to him about your engagement, Pearl?"

Shocked, Pearl asked in return, "How did you know?"

"Of course, I know," Hanzel replied with a bitter laugh. He continued, "He made it known to everyone so the whole family is aware of it."

Pearl was taken aback. Richard seemed to be quite good at boasting.

With a helpless smile, Pearl decided to confront Richard and demand an explanation later.

After Pearl left, Hanzel was lost in thought.

Observing him, Feather ventured to ask, "Hey, do you like Miss Pearl?"

Hanzel couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Is it that obvious? Even you've noticed?"

Feather bit her I*p, trying to probe further. "So, was it because of her that you... didn't sleep with me?"

Surprised by the question, Hanzel glanced at Feather, who had looked away.

"No, I felt that I couldn't ruin your reputation." Hanzel was an honorable man and wouldn't take advantage of someone.

"Why didn't you try to win her over then?"

"How? I can't compete with Rick." Hanzel sighed in resignation. "She doesn't have feelings for me, and I'm not as exceptional as Rick. It's only natural that she prefers him." "No, I think you're pretty good."

Feather's words brought a smile to Hanzel's face. His handsome appearance, coupled with his cheerful eyes and bright smile, made for a captivating sight.

Even though Feather typically lacked desires, she found herself momentarily stunned.

"Alright, let's not dwell on that. By the way, do you like peaches? I can cut them into small pieces for you..."

Pearl went to the president's office at Waldorf Enterprises.

Richard was engrossed in reading a document. When he noticed Pearl's arrival, he pushed the document toward her. "You've come at the right time. Take a look at this and see if you spot any issues." Suppressing her fury, Pearl delved into the intricate clauses, which soon gave her a headache.

"I don't see any problems with it."

Richard frowned. "There's an unfair clause that favors the company, but you missed it. What's wrong with you today? You seem absent-minded."

Frustrated, Pearl sneered and punched him. "How could you say that? Did you announce our upcoming engagement to your family?"

"I did that to cut down the number of my unnecessary rivals," Richard explained himself confidently and righteously.

"Rivals? Are you talking about Hanzel?"

Richard gave her a sidelong glance. "I'm glad you figured it out. But I'm pretty sure he's given up on you now. He's probably too embarrassed to still have feelings for you."

As she pondered this, Pearl suddenly recalled the events of that day. "Were you aware of everything that happened between them?" Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FindNøvᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Richard lightly tapped the tip of her nose. "You were incapacitated by that drug the other person gave you, so you missed everything." "How far had they gone?" Pearl widened her eyes.

Richard smiled wickedly and leaned in closer. "Well, naturally, they only reached the step we haven't reached yet."
