Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 177

"I received a sudden call from the president of Lawson Enterprises that day. He said they wanted to collaborate with us, but I initially declined because I knew about our longstanding rivalry with them. However, Mister Chet persisted and made several offers, eventually pressuring me into agreeing.

"After that, I personally inspected the land they were offering. Mister Chet explained that they were short on time to deal with the land and decided to transfer it to us due to our company's relatively strong financial position. I never expected the land to turn out like this. I couldn't have imagined he would deceive me in this manner..." Sean expressed his regret.

"Alright, I have a general idea now." Pearl rubbed the place between her brows. She couldn't help but feel that Sean lacked sensitivity. "I'll get in touch with them in a few days and try to return the land to them."

Pearl's words shocked Sean. At that moment, he couldn't help but feel that he didn't possess the same courage and determination as Pearl, despite being the vice president of Waldorf Enterprises. Guilt washed over him.

"Okay, we'll see how it goes."

Suddenly, Sean recalled something and asked in a daze, "Pearl, my mom…"

"She'll recover soon. I'll inform you when she wakes up." Pearl realized that she had been here to make coffee for Richard. Checking the time, she realized she had taken too long.

Immediately, she rushed back to Richard's office.

"What happened? Why did it take you half an hour to make a cup of coffee?" Richard frowned at Pearl.

Awkwardly, Pearl cleared her throat. "Oh, I got a little distracted."

"By the way, I want to discuss something with you." Richard picked up a report on the desk and placed it in front of Pearl. "I just learned that Sean signed a contract with Lawson Enterprises during my absence and lost us 65 million dollars."

"Maybe he's just not very perceptive. You just need to teach him a little bit."

It was beyond Richard's imagination that Pearl would throw in some nice words for Sean, and it made him jealous. "Why? You don't want me to scold him?"

"He's your brother, not mine. Feel free to scold him if you want, it's not my business." Shrugging, Pearl wasn't willing to meddle in their affairs.

Paused, Richard asked, "Because I want him to think that you're the one he's meeting."

"When should I do that?"

Shaking his head, Richard replied, "No rush. Let's wait for my mom to wake up first."

Just then, Simon called Pearl. Hearing the commotion and shouting on the other end of the call, she frowned. "What's going on?"

It sounded like there was a fight or argument happening in the background.

"What's happening over there?"

Simon seemed to have realized that he had dialed Pearl's number and immediately replied, "A couple of men suddenly barged in and tried to take this woman away..."
