“Aren’t you getting married to Mister Raymond soon? Why are you calling me?” Chet seemed to be in a foul mood. He had been swindled by Pearl, and he couldn’t believe that the charming and seductive woman had turned out to be so cunning.

“It’s you guys who sabotaged Waldorf Enterprises, isn’t it?”

“Why would you call me for that? That’s impossible,” Chet replied, sounding a bit unnatural.

“I’m sure you know if it was you or not. I don’t care how you plotted against Waldorf Enterprises, but from now on, I don’t want to see any negative news about them.”

“What’s on your mind?”

Richard snapped out of it and managed a tired smile at Justin. “Nothing.”

“Hey, you’re always so serious when you see me. Why are you smiling now?” Justin walked to the window and stood beside Richard, teasing him. “I heard your company’s crisis got resolved. You must be amazing to deal with that old man from Lawson Enterprises discreetly. Didn’t you know? We had numerous press releases today, all confirming Waldorf Enterprises’ innocence. Mister Chet stepped forward to support them.”

“Didn’t you read the news?”

Richard hadn’t, as his mind was a mess. Waldorf Enterprises was facing a financial downturn, and he had blocked Pearl’s contact. He was too preoccupied to bother with mundane gossip.

However, he was stunned when he finally read the news. Immediately, he thought of someone. It had to be Pearl’s doing.

Richard maintained his silence, but his eyes betrayed his pain.

“You lost such a passionate woman. Don’t you regret it, Richard?” Seeing Richard’s anguish, Justin put his hands on Richard’s shoulders His eyes lit up as he said the next words, “Why don’t we go and steal Pearl away at her wedding?”
