Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 400

"There were people out there bashing Richard for being irresponsible. If they find out you're also getting engaged, it might affect your public image." Raymond chuckled mysteriously, a hint of cunning in his expression. "How about waiting a few more days before announcing the news? It'll make Richard look like a scumbag, and you can play the heartbroken victim. What do you think?"

Pearl didn't expect Raymond to be so crafty. For a moment, she didn't know what to say. But it was indeed a great idea.

Seeing Pearl put the social media post on hold, Raymond gently stroked her hair. "The engagement news will come out sooner or later. Why not use this opportunity to teach Richard a lesson?"

Pearl was impressed. "It's a shame you're not in public relations."

"Is your company hiring? If it is, I might consider joining." Raymond stopped joking and put on a serious expression.

“Go away.” Pearl rolled her eyes. "Why are you telling me all this?" She didn’t understand why Raymond was going out of his way to consider her feelings.

“Didn’t I tell you the other day? Because I like you, and I really want to be with you.” Raymond gazed at Pearl with a meaningful look.

For the first time, Pearl found it hard to read someone, especially when she struggled to discern the truth from the falsehood in his words.

Pearl and Raymond took a night flight back to Bodgow.

Master Jordan was delighted to see that Pearl had followed his advice, so he immediately transferred 20% of Jordan Group's shares to her.

The union of the Jordans from Bodgow and the Yorks from Mosvil created quite a stir, not only in Bodgow, Mosvil, Rivendale, and Hazelton but also in the coastal areas. Influential families from far away sent their heartfelt congratulations.

Richard gave her a cold stare. The rapid decline in the Waldorfs' stock prices was already giving him a headache, and Jenny's continued complaints only made it worse.

Seeing such cold eyes, Jenny’s complaints suddenly stopped. She stared at Richard in bewilderment and stammered, "Rick, I—"

"If you hadn't rushed to announce it, the fans wouldn't be criticizing you now." Richard stood up, his expression turning frosty. "I warned you not to mess with Pearl. Otherwise, we're done."

Jenny's worst fear was Richard breaking up with her. She couldn't help but flinch. "I understand, Rick. I won't act recklessly again."

Richard looked visibly annoyed, so Jenny quickly left and returned to her hotel.
