Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 286

Pearl blushed. At the same time, Richard's expression took on a dangerous edge, and he let out a low grunt.

Knowing that she couldn't hide the truth, Pearl spoke honestly, "I didn't want you to think I had ulterior motives... Would you have allowed me to continue working at Waldorf Enterprises if you had known my true identity?"

Richard answered without any hesitation, "Yes, I would."

"Alright then. I was being petty."

However, Richard's seriousness didn't waver. "What are your plans now that your identity is revealed?" He was uneasy, fearing that Pearl might return to Cerubleu after her true role as its president came to light.

His worry brought out a chuckle from Pearl. "Don't worry, I won't go back to Cerubleu."

Finally, Richard's gloominess lessened somewhat.

Staring at Richard, Pearl teased, "You once promised to let me have Waldorf Enterprises. Does that promise still stand?"

She aimed to lighten the mood, but Richard took her question seriously. With an air of determination, he stood up and calmly stated, "The company is yours as long as you're engaged to me."

Pearl gaped and asked in astonishment, "Aren't you worried about causing trouble, Richard?" She had never met someone so straightforward, willing to hand over an entire company to her without hesitation.

"I can't wait any longer." Richard's temper flared because so many men, including Hanzel, Raymond, Wayne, and that unhinged Hugo, were coveting Pearl. He felt that they might cause problems if he didn't marry her soon.

While Pearl was moved by his words, she still couldn't be with him with peace of mind. "Let's not rush into things. I need to deal with something first."

There was a matter that deeply troubled Pearl, concerning her mother's disappearance. She believed there was more to the story because her mother wouldn't have left so abruptly, given her parents' passionate love for each other.

However, she remained clueless, as there were many mysteries yet to be uncovered. She couldn't be at peace until she resolved this issue.

"My mother left due to a conflict with my father. I'm sure you're aware of that."
