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 flipped 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.

However, beneath the surface, Pearl discerned a deeper sentiment, “Firstly, his actions didn’t

necessarily break the law, so threatening him won’t be effective. If he refuses to admit anything, we

can’t pressure him.”

“If he refuses to admit, he’s as good as dead,” Richard stated coldly.

“If he dies, we won’t find any evidence. Richard, I know you’re trying to protect me, but for now, we

need evidence against Lawson Enterprises, or else we won’t stand a chance against them,” Pearl

spoke earnestly, her logic sound.

Reluctantly, Richard nodded in agreement. “Just don’t let him touch you, or I’ll finish him off.

“Got it.”

Their next step was to wait for Derrick to come out.
