Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl Novel novel Chapter 697

Pearl felt bitter. The reason Richard hadn't put pressure on their company might be that he simply didn't care about Cerubleu anymore. After all the things she had said and done, if Richard was still willing to help at this time, he wouldn't be the Richard she knew.

"No, we can't go to him."

"Why not?" Wayne looked at her, understanding her decision after seeing her face. "Okay, I get it."

Pearl reassured him with a smile, "It's okay. I'll figure something out."

Since she couldn't ask Richard, she needed to find someone else. But Damian hadn’t sorted out his matters yet and was not answering his phone. Her other friends, Esther and Mobius, hadn't returned either.

She felt alone, especially with her being thought of as dead. If people in Bodgow found out she was back, the Jordans might cause trouble.

Pearl felt that she wasn't just being attacked on all sides. It was an insurmountable catastrophe.

A few days later, things at the company got worse. Some employees started leaving. Pearl heard their conversations around the office.

"The president said she'd fix this, but it's been days with no change."

"Don't say that. She's trying her best."

"Trying? She looks calm all the time. It's like she's not worried."

"We don't know what she's doing in private. Let's not talk about it."
