Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl Novel novel Chapter 790

As expected, the only person who could make Richard do anything in the middle of the night was Winona.

Pearl smirked. "If that's the case, I wonder if you'd be willing to pay the amount that's on my mind."

"Name your price," Richard replied.

"30 million," Pearl stated confidently. She wouldn't have agreed for anything less than that, even though Hugo had paid 11 million.

Richard hesitated, saying, "Isn't that too much?"

Pearl was surprised, and her tone became sarcastic, "Is it? If Hugo can spend 11 million on Estrella, an influencer he's interested in, then why wouldn't you, with your huge company, be willing to fork out 30 million for the woman you love?"

Pearl's words drew a clear line between a crush and true love, insinuating that if Hugo could spend such a sum on a crush, Richard should certainly do the same for the woman he loved.

Richard went silent.

"If you don't think it's a good deal, let's forget this then. Please don't call me about it again." She was ready to hang up and go to bed.

"Wait." Richard then slowly said, "30 million then."

"Oh, I didn't know you were such a generous person." Pearl couldn't help but sound a bit jealous. Richard, known for his strict financial discipline, wasn't one to waste money. Yet, now he was willing to spend such a considerable sum on a woman.
