Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Chapter 1204

Dispirited, Pearl sought help from the Jordan family. To her surprise, Blake refused her. This put Pearl in a tough spot.

However, seeing Pearl so sad, Blake softened a bit. "You shouldn't worry too much. We'll figure

something out, right?"

"But the company is now facing a serious test, and we can't afford to wait," Pearl replied.

"Do you have any other ideas?"

Blake's words came off as both naive and a bit arrogant. If Pearl had another plan, she wouldn't have made the long trip to ask for their help.

Just then, Saule, who had been looking pretty worried, suddenly spoke up calmly, "I might have a solution.

Pearl had an inkling of what Saule might be suggesting, but she hesitated.

"Santiago could help you with this."

The Savary family, known for their success in tech, was an option, but Pearl was reluctant to ask Santiago for help. She had thought about partnering with the Savarys but decided against it after careful thought. The reason was simple. Santiago's identity was special and he had a complicated history with Pearl. Plus, Saule wasn't keen on spending time with Santiago, and Pearl didn't want to make her mom uncomfortable.

But to Pearl's surprise, Saule was okay with reaching out to him, which Pearl hadn't expected.

"Mom, you don't have to make yourself uneasy. If you'd rather not deal with him, I'll think of something else," Pearl offered, always thoughtful and caring.

But Saule, being Pearl's mother, didn't want to see her struggle and reassured her by grabbing her hand." Don't worry."

Blake, curious, interrupted them. "Who is Santiago?"

He was new to the family business and didn't know many people in the industry. Pearl, however, didn't rush to fill him in. She simply said, "My father."

Blake nearly choked. "What? Your father? How did you suddenly get a dad?"Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

"It's a long story. I'll tell you when we have the chance," Pearl replied. Right now, the priority was to meet with Santiago and discuss working together.

Blake didn't push for more details since they had urgent matters to attend to.

While Pearl went back to Enswood, Saule stayed behind at the Jordans, and Blake, quite boldly, decided to tag along with Pearl.

On their flight back, Pearl noticed Blake seemed anxious and asked, "Shouldn't you be busy with your own company? Why come back to Enswood with me?"

"Nothing. Just felt like taking a trip," Blake said, trying to sound nonchalant.

But Pearl, familiar with his behavior, saw through his act. "You're going back to see Rosalie, aren't you?" "No, that's not it. I've long stopped getting in touch with her," Blake quickly denied, a bit flustered.

Previously, he had been quite persistent in pursuing Rosalie, despite her clear lack of interest. Over time, realizing he couldn't win her over, he finally stopped trying.
