Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

This led to

Lawson Enterprises gaining extensive knowledge of Waldorf Enterprises‘ jewelry proposal for the upco

ming season, along with its development plan.

“How did you deal with Lawson Enterprises the other day?” Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Richard blinked, then answered, “I made them lose three percent of profits.”

“You hit them where it hurts. No wonder they sought an

opportunity to strike back, and Brandon became their powerful weapon.” Pearl emphasized while looki

ng at Richard’s solemn expression, “I think they’ll make their move soon. We should be prepared at all

times.”

“Let’s wait until they make a move before we decide on anything.”

Pearl nodded, her expression a mix of emotions.

Later in the afternoon, Pearl noticed on her phone that Lawson Enterprises was about to launch a new

set of jewelry.

Moreover, she found the jewelry oddly familiar, as she had designed it as a stepping stone for Waldorf

Enterprises to enter the high–

end jewelry market. Surprisingly, Lawson Enterprises was releasing it first.

However, Pearl stopped frowning on second thought. Though the jewelry set appeared new and unique

, it had a significant flaw. Wearing it would be rather uncomfortable.

Her recent focus had been on dealing with Brandon, leaving her no time to fine–

Pearl presented her plan to launch a modified version of the same Jewelry. Hearing Pearl’s plan, Richa

Naturally, Pearl had considered this in advance. “Of course, people may get us wrong at first, but I hav

However, Richard kept quiet, prompting Pearl to give him a reassuring smile. “Don’t underestimate me,

Richard. I designed this. Don’t worry.”

“I trust you, but I’m concerned about Lawson Enterprises resorting to dirty tactics that you may not be a

ble to handle,” Richard

admitted, his gaze on her smile, “I’ll arrange for a few b*dyguards to be with you during these days in c

ase anything happens.”

Baffled, he could not figure out why she was still giggling at such a time.

Pearl teased, “Are you that worried about my safety, Richard?”

Her question left him looking somewhat flustered. “Don’t misinterpret things. I’m just concerned about th

Pearl, however, refused to give up. “Anyway, you’re saying that I’m very important.”

Her playful comment annoyed Richard, who responded coldly, “Get back to work.”

Pearl pouted. “Boring.”

Richard only managed to regain his composure after Pearl had left. Lately, her ability to influence his em
