Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 340

Chapter 340 

Derrick chuckled slickly. “Naturally, I’ve tampered with those records. Think about it, Lawson Enterprises’s annual tax revenue amounts to billions. With such a sum at stake, the boss wouldn’t willingly pay up. By making a few changes, we could save a significant amount of money, right? And I could even pocket a bit of profit from it.” 

As Derrick finished his sentence, he discreetly made a hand gesture indicating the number 9. 

“Mister Derrick, you’re truly amazing!” Pearl, with one hand propping up her chin, smiled enigmatically. But deep down, she felt repulsed while observing Derrick’s lascivious expression. 

Seeing even such an aloof woman as herself had been won over, didn’t that indicate that his charm was exceptional? 

Anticipating the resolution of the situation, Pearl discreetly retrieved her recording pen, preparing to rendezvous with Richard. 

“Mister Derrick, let’s call it a day here. I have urgent matters to attend to and must leave now, “Pearl said abruptly. 

They hadn’t even eaten yet, but Pearl was about to leave. Derrick was momentarily taken aback. “But the dishes just arrived. Can’t we finish eating before you go?” 

Pearl turned around and flashed him a smile. “Mister Derrick, let’s continue tomorrow. I forgot to turn off the gas at home. If I don’t go back right now, there might be trouble.” 

Derrick understood the urgency of the situation, so he didn’t try to stop her. Watching her graceful exit, he eagerly anticipated their meeting the next day. 

As Pearl stepped out of the restaurant’s door, she ran into Richard who had come to pick her up. They got into the car, and Pearl proudly presented her phone. “I’ve recorded everything he said. It’s solid evidence.” 

“Just the recording might not suffice. We need tangible proof to bring down Lawson Enterprises entirely.” Richard pushed aside the phone and started the car. 

Pearl accessed her phone’s photo album and showed Richard her invention. “I’ve installed a Bluetooth camera in my ring. It captured all the pictures and records while I was browsing through the Lawson Enterprises’ financial records.” 

“Wow! That’s ingenious!” A hint of surprise flickered in Richard’s eyes. Once again, he was impressed by Pearl’s cleverness. 

“Right! We’re stealing confidential information using the Bluetooth ring I designed.” Pearl was quite confident about her invention. 

“For now, let’s not reveal these things. We’ll wait for the right moment,” Richard calmly analyzed. “If we act first, we might be labeled as troublemakers. Let’s wait for Lawson Enterprises to make a move.” 

Pearl nodded in agreement. “That’s sensible. Let’s head back to the Jordan residence.” 

Richard drove Pearl back to the Jordan residence. As soon as they entered, a large figure pounced on them. 

“You’re finally home!”
