Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 224

The director covered his face, anxious but still trying to assert himself. "Hanzel, please don't call the police. I know you've been eager for a lead role. I'll give it to you. You can have the lead role in all my future shows. Just don't involve the police!"

Hanzel wasn't easily swayed. He glanced at the disheveled Pearl and dialed 911 without hesitation. "You can explain that to the police when they arrive."

The director grew angry. "If you call the police, you won't be able to survive in this industry!"

Hanzel tightened his grip on his phone. "Whatever. I'll just quit."

Pearl raised her brows. "No, Hanzel. What are you saying?"

Hanzel smiled at her. "It's fine. If I can't act anymore, I'll just go back home and inherit the family fortune."

He said that casually, but Pearl could see the pain in his eyes.

This director was very famous, so anyone who offended him would offend half the industry. Even if Hanzel was talented, the business world and entertainment world were so different it wouldn't help him one bit.

However, she never expected Hanzel to be willing to give up his career for her. She couldn't believe it.

"You're too naive, kid," the director remarked, standing up with a mysterious smile. "None of the precincts here dare to cross me. Do you really think I'm afraid of you calling the police?"

Pearl looked at him with a chilling gaze. "You don't feel guilty at all?"

The director threw up his hands to pretend to be innocent. "But you don't have proof. I'd fold if you could produce a voice recording or video." He was confident they lacked any evidence and gloated inwardly.

Pearl raised her brow. "So you're saying I made a false report?"

"I don't know. Maybe you're trying to extort me and gain entry into the industry with my help. You might have lied to lure me here. The bottom line is, I didn't come to see you. Everyone knows that I'm a trustworthy person. People would think you're joking if you claim I r*ped you."
