Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 520

It was the first time Pearl had met Richard's legendary best buddy, Justin. She had heard that he was a lawyer and appeared to be quite sophisticated.

He didn't look any less impressive than Mobius, especially with his tall nose bridge and stylish gold-rimmed glasses, which added to his charm. Unfortunately for Justin, he wasn't Pearl's type.

However, Justin's image quickly crumbled the moment he started talking. "Why do I feel like this meeting won't bring me anything good, Richard?" His frown made him look almost teary-eyed, completely different from the initial impression he had given.

Pearl couldn't help but chuckle. "I'll invest 680 thousand dollars in your law firm."

Immediately, Justin's eyes lit up. "Really? Don't break your word."

"Of course not." Pearl continued smiling. "What's wrong? Didn't Mister Joseph Newton give you money? Why are you so poor?"

Justin's earlier demeanor was completely gone as he explained, "You see, I'm the only grandson of the Newton family, and my grandfather wants me to inherit the family business. But I've always wanted to be a lawyer. So, I'm rather short on funds, and I can only rely on Rick."

"Couldn't you come up with another solution?"

"I did consider selling Newton Group to Waldorf Enterprises in exchange for capital to manage my law firm. But when I mentioned it to Grandpa, he got so angry that he threatened to set my law firm on fire. So, I stopped bringing it up."

Pearl couldn't help but think Justin was silly and naive. Thankfully, Esther wasn't interested in him; otherwise, she might feel like stabbing him.

After a brief chat, the four of them entered the restaurant.

On the surface, it looked like they were on a blind date, with Pearl and Richard playing the roles of chaperones. Justin appeared smitten with Esther, who blushed and seemed content with his company.

Pearl glanced at Richard. "Why isn't he here yet?"

Mobius roared furiously, "Who said I'm not marrying her?"

"When?" Richard asked.

Mobius looked at Esther's cautious expression, and his heart skipped a beat. "I can marry her anytime she wants."

Pearl grinned. "Okay, mission accomplished. Let's celebrate!"

Richard smiled as well. However, Justin wiped away his cold sweat; he was not thrilled at all.

It was at that moment that Mobius realized it had all been a setup.
