Brandon?

Both Richard and Pearl exchanged knowing glances, instantly recognizing the mastermind behind this

incident.

“I didn’t expect Brandon to be so persistent and keep testing my patience. Does he really think I

wouldn’t retaliate?” She gnashed her teeth. If it weren’t for Richard, she would likely have taken this

burly man down with her today.

“Can I… go now?” slowly, the burly man got to his feet, but as he attempted to run away, Richard’s kick

to his knee sent him tumbling to the floor once more.

Coldly, Richard rebuked, “You must be punished by law given your failed attempt at assault.”

“Oh no!” The burly man ignored everything else and wailed, “I’ve told you the man behind it. Why won’t

you let me go?”

up if you say more.”

His outburst earned him a stem glare from Pearl. “It won’t be as simple as being locked up if you say

Threatened, the burly man fell into despair and remained silent.

After that, Pearl called the police, leading to the man’s arrest. She decided to deal with Brandon after

negotiating with Richard.

Richard and Pearl made an appointment with their partner in a private room on the first floor. When

Pearl entered the room, she saw a familiar man standing across from her.

“What a coincidence! We meet again.” Raymond greeted Pearl with a smile.

Incredulous, Pearl turned to look at Richard as if wondering if their partner was Raymond or not.

Richard explained slowly, “Our partner is NK Group, and I only found out an hour ago that he’s the

president.”

Chuckling, Raymond added, “It seems fate has brought us together.”

After the three of them took their seats, Richard started discussing the deal with Raymond.

“I can give up this piece of land to you, but NK Group has to promise Waldorf Enterprises ten percent

of profits.”

Surprised, Raymond said, “Well, you’re asking an exorbitant price, Mister Richard. Ten percent is too

high. How about five percent?”

However, Richard refused to give in. “Ten percent is already the lowest. If you refuse, I can only

collaborate with another

company.”

“Are you threatening me, Mister Richard?”

Though both Richard and Raymond were smiling, Pearl could detect a sense of tension in their words.

Chuckling, Richard denied, “I would never dare to threaten you, Mister Raymond. We are all

businessmen seeking our own interests, aren’t we?”

Suddenly, Raymond ignored Richard and grinned at Pearl. “But ten percent isn’t much if I’m doing Miss

Pearl a favor.”

His words made Richard knit his brows.

“You don’t have to do me a favor, Mister Raymond. Just discuss it among yourselves.” Pearl sensed

the rising tension and

decided to stay out of it.

“I admire you very much, Miss Pearl. We, at NK, are not quick to give up our advantages. This is my

first.”

Raymond’s words only seemed to make Richard’s tone even colder. “Mister Raymond, you’re quite

good at flirting, but unfortunately, Pearl is the fiancee of my family. Your action seems a bit impudent.”

With a laugh, Raymond remarked, “Every man would be captivated by an exceptional woman like Miss

Pearl. What’s more, I’m just an ordinary guy. If I’ve offended you, just tell me. You don’t have to be so

alarmed.

Richard raised his brows and added sarcastically, “No, you got me wrong. It’s not like Pearl will fall for

just any man.”

Helplessly, Pearl wondered why Richard wanted to implicate her while bragging

Raymond’s smile faded, and his tone shifted. “You don’t need to press me like this. I’ll give in to your

unreasonable demand today, but only because of Miss Pearl. Consider it a favor to her,” he said stiffly.
