Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 337

Chapter 337 

The duo sat in proximity. Richard stared fixedly at Pearl’s face, lost in thought for a while before speaking slowly, “Your makeup looks a bit cakey.” 

Pearl, a mixture of irritation and amusement, couldn’t help but laugh. “Don’t make me smack you when I’m professing my love for you!” 

“So, shall we then focus on investigating Lawson Enterprises for tax evasion?” Richard’s tone shifted, all jesting set aside. 

“Absolutely. I’ve asked Wayne to check with his contacts at the tax bureau to verify Lawson Enterprises’s accounts. If we manage to lay hands on their actual financial statements, it’ll directly prove their tax evasion,” Pearl explained. 

The plan sounded straightforward, yet obtaining Lawson Enterprises’s financial records posed a significant challenge. 

“Lawson Enterprises is incredibly guarded. They’ve erected layers upon layers of security around their financial information. I can’t breach their internal systems.” With so much. protection, even Pearl, a top-tier hacker, would require substantial time to crack it. 

“In that case, there’s only one option,” Richard concluded, stroking his chin. 

Their eyes met, instantly comprehending each other’s unspoken intentions. 

Several minutes later, Richard’s car came to a stop outside Lawson Enterprises’s building. 

“We have two choices. One is to infiltrate Lawson Enterprises’s finance office to search for their records, but the risk is exceedingly high,” Pearl suggested, shifting her gaze. “The other is to locate Lawson Enterprises’s financial manager. He’s likely involved in falsifying accounts.

Richard fl*pped open his notebook, retrieving the personal information of Lawson Enterprises’s financial manager. 

“Derrick Miller, male, 38 years old, father of two – a boy and a girl. He indulges in gambling, frequents bars, and maintains two mistresses owing to his fiercely domineering wife.” 

“Two mistresses? That’s…” Pearl’s expression conveyed exaggerated disbelief. 

Richard casually remarked, “That’s just based on the data. His extramarital activities are probably more complex.” 

Pearl scornfully cursed Derrick Miller, labeling him a ‘scoundrel’ while examining his personal details. She wrinkled her nose at the balding patch atop his head, feeling repulsed. “A man like this wouldn’t even have a wife if he didn’t have some money.” 

“What’s your plan then? Do you have something in mind?” Richard observed Pearl, chuckling at her righteous indignation. 

“I intend… to use charm,” Pearl smirked. 

But in an instant, Richard’s expression turned icy, “No, I won’t allow it!” If that sleazy man dared to lay a finger on Pearl, he would undoubtedly lose control and chop off the man’s hand. 

“Do you have a better idea then?” 

“Find his leverage, threaten him, and make him hand over the financial statements,” Richard proposed his usual approach.
