Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 245

Chapter 245 

“What!” 

Sophia yelled angrily, saying a string of curse words that left the eavesdropping woman in shock. She finally grasped the situation: the woman who had been seducing her husband was none other than this one instead! 

Taking a step forward, her eyes widened as she confronted Sophia. “Why did you seduce my husband? You little… You knew my husband was married, so why would you want to be with him?” 

Sophia was ashamed but managed a chuckle. “There’s nothing going on between me and your husband. We’re just fooling around, and I’m not interested in him. He kept harassing me.” 

Queenie rolled her eyes. “Don’t listen to her. She’s known to be the social butterfly in this company. She seduces more men than your husband!” 

The woman exploded with anger and rushed forward to deliver a resounding slap to Sophia’s face. “You’re good at this, huh? I’m going to teach you a lesson in the name of justice. I’d love to see who’s going to stand up for you!” 

Pearl stood aside, subtly agreeing to that. 

Sophia was just an ordinary young woman, and there was no way she could overpower someone accustomed to doing household chores. She saw stars, and the slap left a red palm print on her cheek. 

“Alright, you need to stop, or she’s going to get hurt badly,” Pearl intervened, pretending to restrain the woman while pulling her away. 

“I’m going to call the police! You’re trying to kill me!” Sophia shouted. 

The woman spat at her. “I’m trying to kill you? I’m going to sue you for trying to steal my husband! You’re disgusting for seducing so many men! God is going to punish you!” 

“That’s enough.” Pearl tugged her wrist and gave a look at Queenie, who understood immediately. Together, they managed to grab the enraged woman and stood in front of her. 

“I never expected something like this to happen in my company,” Richard remarked, stepping out from a video call. He removed his earphones and glanced at the commotion outside. 

Oddly, he didn’t seem upset. In fact, some colleagues thought they detected a trace of a smile on his face. 

A smile? Were their eyes playing tricks on them? 

Sophia looked at Richard with pleading eyes, hoping he would come to her aid when he saw her distress. She seemed desperate, but she had forgotten that she was pitted against Pearl, the woman Richard loved. 

“I never imagined, Sophia, that you would stoop to this level,” Richard declared, his tone clear and filled with disgust. “We can’t have people with such immoral behavior in the company. Make arrangements to leave. I could keep this a secret, but I don’t want to see you here anymore.”
