Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl Novel novel Chapter 520

Chapter 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 lock 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?” 

Richard cleared his throat and gave her a knowing look. “I guess he hasn’t seen any signs of intimacy between them. They need to make it more convincing.” 

Pearl decided to give Esther a subtle hint. Esther stood up and reached for Justin’s hand. 

“Esther!” came an angry roar that stopped her. 

Mobius approached, his cold demeanor radiating intensity, and he held Esther’s hand tightly while giving Justin a fierce glare. “Why did you go on a blind date behind my back? Did you forget who your boyfriend is?” 

Justin trembled and lost his smile. He couldn’t understand why Mobius was glaring at him like that. He was only doing it for the money and had no romantic interest in Esther whatsoever. Moreover, Richard had talked him into it with a promise.

Mobius appeared ready to punch Justin in the face, causing the latter to close his eyes in fear, fearing his handsome face would be ruined and he’d no longer be able to attract women.
