Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 88

Puzzled, Pearl sought clarification. "Why?"

"I've arranged for someone to deal with Brandon because he recently targeted Waldorf Enterprises. He won't dare to make a move for a while. As for Lawson Enterprises... I don't think they'd take such a risk. The entire company consists of just a few hundred people, and this issue could land them in prison for several decades if they were caught."

His meticulousness earned him her admiration, but she needed to know the truth. "Then do you know who did it?"

Shaking his head, Richard replied, "No, I don't. But I think their target might not be us."

Pearl nodded thoughtfully.

Both Pearl and Richard returned to their rooms.

"I'll make you disappear from this world quietly."

The man was terrified by Richard's ominous words. "Don't kill me. I didn't do it on purpose. Someone... someone hired me!"

Richard knew that a stranger wouldn't have been able to accurately locate Pearl's room. Someone else must have been behind this.

"Who is it?"

The burly man tried his best to recall the man he had struck a deal with. "He said he's Mister Brandon, but I don't know his full name. He promised me 68 thousand dollars if I did it. I was charmed by this lady's photo, so I..."
