Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 384

"I'm not going to act, I won't be part of the industry either." Pearl turned the director down and winked at Jenny. "So, Miss Jenny, did you remember what I said?"

Jenny felt like she was just a backup, only getting what Pearl didn't want. Her frustration grew. She took off her costume and threatened to leave the set.

The director, being cunning, knew he couldn't convince Pearl. So, he quickly changed his tune and started being nice to Jenny. "Please don't leave, my dear. You're the main actress. I can't give your role to anyone else."

Richard had put 41 million dollars into this show, being the biggest investor. He almost forgot this when he was trying to hire Pearl.

"You prefer Pearl's acting, don't you? Well, I'm done acting. We're pulling out the funds!" Jenny was furious. She dialed her phone, pretending to cry. "Rick, they're bullying me on set. Can you come over?"

She hung up and looked smug. "Just wait. Rick will be here soon, and we're going to withdraw the funding. Let's see how proud you'll be then!"

Pearl waited quietly, feeling uneasy when she heard that Richard was coming.

Richard arrived quickly and spotted Pearl and Esther in the crowd.

"Rick, they were bullying me. Pearl even tried to steal my lead role. Worst of all, the director agreed to it. Let's withdraw our funds. I don't want to be part of this anymore!" Jenny rushed over to Richard, trying to be charming.

"Pearl wants to be the lead actress?" Richard found that hard to believe.

Jenny's expression changed. "Yes, she wants the lead role."

Richard's expression remained unchanged. "Was anything I said wrong?" He was simply protecting his investment. He had invested because of Jenny, so if Jenny couldn't act, he saw it as a loss.

Pearl understood that, but she couldn't understand why Richard was so kind to Jenny and seemed to be ignoring her. Was it true that Jenny's claim about him not getting over their past relationship was accurate? Did he want to get rid of her now that Jenny was back?

She looked into his eyes. They were as calm as rocks, but for a split second, there was a curious look in them, although it quickly disappeared. She thought her eyes might have tricked her.

"Let's go, Esther." Pearl didn't want to dwell on it, and now that she had put Jenny in her place, she was done.

Esther glared at Richard and left as well.
