Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 499

Chapter 499 

Feather was exceptionally efficient. When she saw Pearl, she addressed her as ‘Miss Pearl.’ 

Pearl waved her hand dismissively. “Alright, you’re Wayne’s apprentice now. There’s no need for these formalities. Just call me ‘Pea’ like you usually do.” 

Feather nodded without questioning. Obedience to commands was her duty. 

Pearl adjusted her wrist, took out a veil to cover her face, and then headed to the intersection 

to stop someone. 

This was the director’s regular route. According to the information she got, he would come here every night to buy roast chicken and head home with wine. 

Honestly, it was the first time in a long while that she had taken such a bold approach to apprehend someone. As she watched the man slowly approaching ‘her, she gestured with her right hand, and two of her men in black suits darted forward like swords. 

It didn’t take long for the director to be thrown into a small alley. It was also his first time experiencing such a situation, and he was terrified. 

As no one spoke, he nervously pleaded, “Please don’t kill me. I can give you money, any amount you want, just spare my life…” 

Pearl stepped forward and looked at the overweight man on the ground, furrowing her brows. She kicked his chubby b*dy. “I don’t want your life or your money. I just want one thing.” 

The director’s eyes widened, and his face filled with hope. “Really? What do you want? I’ll give you whatever you want!” 

“I… want a role in a drama.” 

As soon as these words were spoken, even the clueless director knew who stood before him. Then, he grimaced menacingly, “I thought my enemies had come for me, but it’s you, Pearl. Sure, you’ve got money, but what good is that alone? Let me tell you. I have connections in both the legitimate and shady worlds. Lay a finger on me, and I won’t spare you!” 

Pearl smirked and teased, “Come on, tell me. Are you hungry for a taste of my fist?” 

With that, she slapped the director with considerable force, nearly dislocating his neck. 

“Ahh-” 

Seeing Pearl’s face behind the semi-transparent veil, the director let out a squeal reminiscent of a pig’s. Although the veil partially concealed her face, her expression exuded an intense and eerie aura. 

She was a beauty with a ferocious spirit! 

The director’s sweat trickled down his neck, emitting a greasy smell. 

“Still putting on a tough act, huh?” 

“Why are you all ganging up on me?” the director protested with a stiff neck, “I’ll call for backup too. Why should you be the only one who can call for help?” 

Pearl chuckled as she lightly clapped her hands, one after another. “Sure, go ahead and call for 

help. Let’s see who you can get today.” She then nodded to Feather and said casually, “Untie his hands and give his phone back.” 

Upon hearing this, the director realized that Pearl’s people had stealthily taken his belongings without him noticing. That was fast. 

He didn’t dare contemplate it. Wiping sweat, he looked at the approaching Feather and discreetly shook something near her nose.
