NovelOnlineChapter 281
Richard cleared his throat, silencing the room. “It doesn’t matter now if Pearl is a mole.. What’s
important is that we need to recover from the losses we’re facing.”
One of the board members scoffed. “We’re talking about 130 million dollars, not 130 thousand. Do you
think it’s easy for us to get that back? We need to find Pearl immediately and make her pay!”
The others agreed with him, as they felt that this situation had been caused by Pearl, and therefore,
she should bear the financial burden.
Seeing everyone rallying to bring Pearl in, Richard’s expression changed. “Pearl has resigned, and we
can’t find her. This solution is ridiculous.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJenny seemed to recall something. “Before she left, Pea mentioned that Lawson Enterprises is a good
place to work. Do you think… she’s there now?”
“No, she’s not that kind of person.”
Seeing how Richard rejected it without a second thought, she said, “But you’ve broken up. She told me
you don’t see eye to eye anymore, so… she might not be the person you think she is?”
Others weren’t inclined to let this matter go, especially since it concerned their money. One of them
suggested, “Why don’t we go to Lawson Enterprises to find her and question her?” He then rose from
his seat in frustration.
But before he could leave, the door swung open, and everyone was taken aback by the unexpected
visitor.
Pearl? They had been planning to search for her, yet she had arrived instead.
“We’re glad you’re here Pearl. We were just going to see you about some debt.”
“Good, because I have a problem to settle too.” Pearl calmly sat down, not thinking she was an
outsider.
Panic filled Jenny’s heart. “What are you talking about? Didn’t you frame Waldorf and jump ship to
Lawson? Why are you acting like the victim?”
Pearl ignored the accusation. “I never imagined someone would place all the blame on me just days
after I left.”
Her gaze landed on Jenny, sending shivers down the latter’s spine.
Pearl appeared so different from just a few days ago. She had been friendly, but now she seemed
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmdistant, as though they were worlds apart. Had she been pretending all along?
Such thoughts raced through Jenny’s mind as Pearl crossed her legs and observed the group, who
were all glaring at her. She finally spoke, “Do you truly believe I framed this company?”
One of them quickly answered, “You advised Jenny to collaborate with a subpar factory, leading to
millions in losses. Now we’re short on funds. Shouldn’t you take responsibility?”
Pearl smirked. “Jenny Boucher told you all this, right?”
“Yes Don’t change the subject. Tell us how we should settle this.”
Pearl was about to respond when there was a knock on the door. A person entered, approached her,
bowed, and referred to her as ‘president’ before handing her a stack of
papers.
“President? What president?”
Everyone had assumed that she had joined Lawson Enterprises and had become an executive. The
fact that she was now being addressed as “president” left everyone baffled.
