Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 184

Chapter 184 

Richard replied, “Well, if Mister Chet isn’t sincere about this partnership, we shouldn’t continue this meeting.” He then pretended to stand up after saying that. 

Chet was worried that he had messed things up and stood up too, speaking to Richard in a hushed tone, “Mister Richard, there’s always room for discussion. When Waldorf Enterprises bought this land, you only spent 65 million dollars. How about this, I’ll give you 130 million to buy it back. What do you think?” 

Although it pained him, the potential value of the gold mine encouraged him to offer that price. 

“Just 130 million dollars? That plot of land is worth much more than that,” Pearl expressed her dissatisfaction with the proposed price and shook her head. 

“That’s a lot of money. If you’re lying to me, I’m going to suffer a significant loss…” Chet looked anxious as Pearl’s words troubled him. 

Pearl stood up too. “Lying? If you think we’re lying, we really shouldn’t work together.” 

“Oh, no, no. I’m willing to pay whatever it takes, alright?” Chet ended up giving in and offered 195 million dollars to purchase the plot of land back 

“We’ll sign the agreement now to seal the deal then.” 

Alarms immediately went off in Chet’s head. “There’s no need to rush, Miss Pearl. Didn’t we agree to discuss other matters after our business talk? If you’re genuinely interested in me, we could start a relationship right away. I’d be willing to offer 325 million or even 390 million dollars!” 

Pearl’s smile froze. “You’re really generous, but are you serious about it?” 

Just looking at Chet repulsed Pearl, but to secure his signature on the agreement, she had to maintain her facade. 

“Of course, darling, let’s get intimate…” 

Chet attempted to grab Pearl’s hand and pull her into an embrace, but Richard pushed him away. “What do you think you’re doing, Mister Chet?” 

Chet felt annoyed and was about to respond, but suddenly, he felt dizzy and collapsed to the floor. 

Pearl sighed in relief. “Finally. He’s so disgusting.” 

Richard nodded. “I was surprised he came alone just to have a chance to take advantage of you.” 

He sounded jealous, but Pearl didn’t catch that. She assumed Chet had simply let his guard down, so she smiled. “Let’s proceed with our plan. We’ll leave him in the hotel room, and then…” 

Pearl felt sick at the thought of the way Chet had looked at her. She didn’t realize how repulsive he truly was. 

Richard left Chet in the hotel room and arranged for a woman to pose provocatively on top of him while he took pictures with his camera. After that, they both found a place to spend the night, waiting for Chet to wake up the next day.
