Chapter 280

The atmosphere between Pearl and Richard remained strained over the next few days. Everyone could

sense it, but no one

dared to mention it

Jenny proposed expanding the company’s product line into perfumery, and her idea received nearly

unanimous approval. The sole dissenter was Pearl, who opposed it. Richard criticized her stance,

worsening their already strained relationship. He eventually entrusted the project to Jenny, further

fueling speculation about his trust in her.

People began to wonder if Jenny Boucher might be the new first lady of the company, but no one dared

to voice their thoughts, given that Pearl still held the position of vice president.

One afternoon, news of Pearl’s resignation spread throughout the office. Jenny sat close to Pearl,

watching her pack her belongings with feigned sadness. Deep down, Jenny was secretly delighted by

Pearl’s departure but pretended to feel remorse.

“Pea, the president is going to be devastated when he hears that you’re leaving.”

“That’s not my concern anymore. We’ve broken up.”

Jenny’s heart almost jumped out of her chest, so she asked, “Did you really break up? Why?”

Pearl glared at her. “It just happened. We no longer see eye to eye, so continuing the relationship is

pointless.”

Although Jenny knew Pearl was a decisive person, her unhesitant departure raised suspicions.

“You have no feelings for him anymore?”

Pearl’s hand momentarily froze as emotions flickered in her eyes. “Even if I haven’t, it doesn’t matter.

We’ve lost trust in each other, and suspicion would torment us.”

Jenny felt reassured by Pearl’s response, so she smiled and said, “You shouldn’t make rash decisions,

Pea. What if it’s all just a misunderstanding?”

“Work hard here, and perhaps one day you’ll take my place… Alright, I’m leaving now.” Pearl didn’t

wish to continue the conversation, so she headed to the HR department, collected her final paycheck,

and left.

Jenny’s lips curled into a slow, triumphant smile. With Pearl no longer at Waldorf Enterprises, it would

be easier to bring down the company.

A few days later, an issue arose with the perfume brand Jenny was overseeing. Despite its unique

packaging, there were production problems at the factory, resulting in subpar perfume quality. Their

partners demanded an immediate contract cancellation and requested 130 million dollars in

compensation from Waldorf Enterprises.

After some digging, Richard discovered that the factory was actually a plastic manufacturer, and their

products didn’t meet industry standards. Numerous complaints had been lodged against them, yet they

continued to operate.

Waldorf Enterprises convened an emergency meeting, during which Jenny expressed her regret with a

sad look.

“As for the factory. Pea introduced them to me. Before she left, she advised me to work with them. I

have no idea why this happened.” Pearl wasn’t there, so Jenny could say whatever she pleased

without contradiction.

Everyone began to suspect that Pearl hadn’t left with good intentions.

“By the way, before she left, she mentioned that Waldorf Enterprises wasn’t performing well and

suggested I consider joining Lawson Enterprises instead.” Jenny said it casually and carefully, but it

stirred everyone’s emotions.

“She must be a mole planted by Lawson Enterprises to sabotage our company. That’s why she asked

Jenny to do all these things”

Pearl was suddenly labeled as a spy for Lawson Enterprises
