Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 155

"Who's the artist you're talking about?" Pearl pretty much understood who he was referring to and felt sorry for him.

"Hah, that's not important. What's important is all of this… only happened because of you!"

The man had lost all sense of reason, consumed by his desire to capture Pearl and exact his revenge.

"You and Esther Sanders are both the root of evil and deserve to die!" He drew a knife and lunged at Pearl, but she quickly grabbed his wrist, using her strength to push him aside and send him sprawling to the floor.

"You b*tch!" The man wasn't expecting Pearl to be so agile, so he was taken by surprise and forgot to pick up his knife.

"I understand, Clem Gutor. You might be angry that you were let go and that's why you're taking it out on us, but do you think killing us would make you feel better? People would come after you upon my death, and your wife and children would be bullied. Is that what you want?"

Pearl's rational words seemed to bring Clem back to his senses. "How do you know my name?"

Pearl held back a chuckle. "All I know is that the only star who rivaled Esther's fame was Yvonne Fuller. She gained her fame because of you. Unfortunately, she failed to appreciate you and terminated your employment. I'm sure she'll regret that decision."

Clem was taken aback by Pearl's unexpected revelation. Just moments ago, he had been attempting to take her life.

"Clem, if you don't mind, I can refer you to a better company."

Clem sounded defeated as he replied, "But Yvonne made sure I was blacklisted everywhere and left me with no options. How could you change that?"

"What if I tell you I can introduce you to a decent managerial role for a talent agency under the Cerubleu group?"

Clem gave in. Would this really be the chance for him to start anew?

He almost thanked her, but he started looking cautious. "What if you're just lying to me?"

"I never lie. Besides, I've set my phone to alert the police if I don't find Esther within half an hour. You have two choices: embrace a promising future as a manager at Brilliance and shine in the career you love, or..." Pearl trailed off, leaving the alternative unspoken.

It was a simple decision. Given their circumstances, he had only one path to choose.

"Your children need their father, don't they, Mister Gutor?"

Pearl smiled, her straightforward question dismantling his remaining defenses.
