Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl Novel novel Chapter 226

Chapter 226 

Pearl wondered if it was the missed call that had alerted Richard. If that was the case, it meant that Richard was attentive and concerned… 

But Pearl quickly dismissed that thought. 

“I’m glad you’re okay,” Richard said with relief in his voice.. 

Glancing at Richard’s face, a sudden idea struck her Pearl. “Richard.” 

Her clear voice instantly captured Richard’s attention. He stared at her, filled with excitement, as it was the first time she had initiated a conversation with him in a long time. 

“Things might get very difficult because Hanzel offended the director for my sake,” Pearl began. Her eyes sparkled with a newfound idea. “So, I would like to ask a favor from you.” 

Richard inquired, “What is it?” 

Pearl smiled mischievously as she explained, “You’re filthy rich, Mister Richard. I’m sure you can afford to pay a few dozens of millions, right?” 

Being a smart man, Richard immediately understood her intention. “Do you want me to cover Hanzel’s penalty for the breach of contract?” 

“Isn’t that what you’re thinking too? We happen to be on the same page.” 

“But what happens next? What do you want to do?” Richard’s raised eyebrows showed that he was trying to sound her out.” Do you want Hanzel to be unemployed?” 

Naturally, Pearl had a plan. “Of course, I have a plan. I want Hanzel to sign a contract with Brilliance Entertainment instead. But don’t worry, I’ll take care of that part. You just need to help terminate his current contract.” 

“Brilliance Entertainment? The company that has produced a lot of award-winning actors and actresses?” Indeed, celebrities from Brilliance Entertainment often dominated nominations for prestigious awards. 

Richard’s expression changed. He could tell from Pearl’s look that her once-cold heart was beginning to thaw. But he didn’t want to make it too easy for her, considering how much he had longed for her. 

“Sure, but I have a condition,” Richard stated firmly. “I want you to return to Waldorf Enterprises, and you must move back 

to Waldorf Residence today.” 

His condition displeased Hanzel. “Why are you doing this, Rick? Pearl is my agent now. How can you ask her to return to Waldorf Enterprises? What about me if she goes back there?” 

Richard cast an icy glance at Hanzel. “You might end up jobless. Do you want Pearl to suffer along with you?” He wouldn’t allow Pearl to get along with Hanzel again. 

Subdued by the reprimand, Hanzel became timid and silent. 

“Today?” Pearl found Richard’s demands quite audacious. He not only insisted on her return but also set the timing for it. 

“I’ll help Hanzel terminate the contract once you’ve moved back in with us,” Richard assured. After all, a few dozen million wasn’t a small sum, and he considered it a lesson for both of them.
