Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 225

Chapter 225 

The director raised his chin confidently and looked around with disdain. 

“What do you mean? You want to turn this against me instead?” Pearl couldn’t imagine how the aggressor could attempt to play the victim, so she laughed mockingly. “You’re a famous director, yet you’ve said something so disgusting. Aren’t you ashamed of yourself?” 

“Miss Pearl, I never said anything to insult you, but you’re going too far. Officer, there are two of them and I’m alone. Why would I try to r*pe his manager?” 

The director maintained the upper hand in this situation, not even bothering to make eye contact with Pearl as he tried to clear his name. 

The police didn’t know what to do, so they just smiled at them. “I’m sorry, there’s nothing we can do. If you have evidence 

next time…” 

With no evidence to support her claim, it was essentially a he-said, she-said situation. 

Pearl seethed with anger, but lacking proof, all she could do was shoot a hostile glare at the director. 

After the officers left, the director tidied his clothes and chuckled. “Miss Pearl, look at what happened. You should have just done as I said. Now we’re all unhappy, so what’s the point?” 

He then turned to Hanzel, who was coldly glaring at him. “As for you, Hanzel, you made me angry. What has that done to your career? You won’t be able to bring me down.” 

Before leaving, the director delivered one final blow to Hanzel. “Alright, you’re no longer needed for this show. I’ll find someone to replace you. Just sit back and wait for your turn to be canceled.” 

Hanzel kept his head lowered and remained silent, as if he had exhausted all his anger. 

Pearl approached him and pinched his hand gently. “Are you alright?” 

Hanzel looked up, his eyes welling with tears. He took a deep breath, and the redness in his eyes subsided a little. “As long as you’re fine.” 

“Of course I’m fine. More importantly, don’t let him get to you. Who does he think he is? Don’t worry, you’ll be alright.” 

וו 

Hanzel shook his head, then explained to her, “I’m an artist signed with Care Entertainment, and Mister Leslie is the brother 

of Care’s CEO. That’s how he gained so much influence. I guess I’ll be canceled because of this. Even if I can bring in substantial profits for Care, if I offend them, it’s over. 

Care Studios. They were quite well-known. 

Pearl looked into his eyes and asked sincerely, “Have you thought about signing with another company?” 

“It’s not as easy as it sounds. I signed a three-year agreement, and I’m only in the second year now. If I request a cancellation, I’ll have to pay a huge fee for violating the agreement.” Hanzel sighed. “Besides, even if I were to sign with another company, Care has a lot of connections, so no one would want to hire me.”
