but I
“I received a sudden call from the president of Lawson Enterprises that day. He said they wanted to
collaborate with us, initially declined because I knew about our longstanding rivalry with them.
However, Mister Chet persisted and made several offers, eventually pressuring me into agreeing.
“After that, I personally inspected the land they were offering. Mister Chet explained that they were
short on time to deal with the land and decided to transfer it to us due to our company’s relatively
strong financial position. I never expected the land to turn out like this. I couldn’t have imagined he
would deceive me in this manner…” Sean expressed his regret.
“Alright, I have a general idea now.” Pearl rubbed the place between her brows. She couldn’t help but
feel that Sean lacked sensitivity. “I’ll get in touch with them in a few days and try to return the land to
them.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPearl’s words shocked Sean. At that moment, he couldn’t help but feel that he didn’t possess the same
courage and determination as Pearl, despite being the vice president of Waldorf Enterprises. Guilt
washed over him.
“Okay, we’ll see how it goes.”
Suddenly, Sean recalled something and asked in a daze, “Pearl, my mom…”
“She’ll recover soon. I’ll inform you when she wakes up.” Pearl realized that she had been here to
make coffee for Richard. Checking the time, she realized she had taken too long.
Immediately, she rushed back to Richard’s office.
“What happened? Why did it take you half an hour to make a cup of coffee?” Richard frowned at Pearl.
Awkwardly, Pearl cleared her throat. “Oh, I got a little distracted.”
“By the way, I want to discuss something with you.” Richard picked up a report on the desk and placed
it in front of Pearl. “I just learned that Sean signed a contract with Lawson Enterprises during my
absence and lost us 65 million dollars.”
“Maybe he’s just not very perceptive. You just need to teach him a little bit.”
It was beyond Richard’s imagination that Pearl would throw in some nice words for Sean, and it made
him jealous. “Why? You don’t want me to scold him?”
“He’s your brother, not mine. Feel free to scold him if you want, it’s not my business.” Shrugging, Pearl
wasn’t willing to meddle in their affairs.
“The main issue now is how to recover that 65 million dollars. It’s actually Lawson Enterprises’ fault, so
we can’t let them off
the hook easily.”
Leaning forward, Pearl asked, “What’s your plan?”
“I’ve got a plan, but I need your help.”
Instinctively, Pearl covered her chest. “Don’t tell me you want me to seduce that old guy?”
“Of course not,” Richard said, looking shocked. “Why would you think that?”
With a sly smile, Pearl touched her nose. “Just a thought.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I want you to ask Mister Chet out, and we’ll use an attractive person as bait. Yes, Mister Chet is
ruthless, but he also has some other weaknesses.” Nonchalantly twirling a pen in his hand, Richard
continued, “Of course, I’ll find someone else to be the attractive person.”
“Why do I have to be the one to ask him out?”
Paused, Richard asked, “Because I want him to think that you’re the one he’s meeting.”
“When should I do that?”
Shaking his head, Richard replied, “No rush. Let’s wait for my mom to wake up first.”
Just then, Simon called Pearl. Hearing the commotion and shouting on the other end of the call, she
frowned. “What’s going

on?”
It sounded like there was a fight or argument happening in the background.
“What’s happening over there?”

Simon seemed to have realized that he had dialed Pearl’s number and immediately replied, “A couple
of men suddenly barged
in and tried to take this woman away…”
