Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Pearl talked slowly, “If I’m not mistaken, you must be wondering why the colleagues you bribed are not

opposing Mister Richard now, aren’t you, Mister Brandon?”

Brandon’s expression changed. “What are you insinuating, Miss Pearl?”

With a sneer, Pearl responded with a question, “Don’t you know what I meant, Mister Brandon?”

“Watch your tongue!” Brandon retorted in panic.

“Let’s take a look at this evidence to see if I’m telling the truth or not.” Pearl proceeded to extract docu

ments and photos from a folder and forcefully scattered them across the table.

As the documents

fell, everyone could clearly see the photos of Brandon going in and out of the finance department, alon

gside details of his embezzlement.

“Is there anything else you want to say, Mister Brandon?”

Blood drained out of Brandon’s face while looking at the evidence, growing more terrified.

“No, you made this up! I would never harm the company. Don’t slander me!”

Suddenly, Brandon yelled agitatedly as if he had realized something. “You guys must have staged this t

However, Pearl paid no heed to his resistance and issued a final verdict, looking up at him. “If you have

nothing else to say, Mister Brandon, you can discuss it with the police officers.”

She then casually took her seat, a satisfied smile gracing her face.

At the mention of the police, Brandon ran away but

was arrested at the door by the police officers who had arrived in time.

“I won’t let you get away with this!” Brandon warned them before being led away.

Once he was gone, Richard made a few remarks and ended the meeting, his gaze fixed on Pearl.

“I doubt it’ll be that simple.”

“How so?” Pearl was grinning, clearly in high spirits after eliminating that black sheep. Her voice sound

ed livelier.

“It’s not that easy to beat Brandon,” Richard explained slowly after a brief pause.

Pearl’s smile faded as she contemplated his words. “What are you suggesting?”

“I think he may have a chance to free himself.” Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

Richard quietly recalled the look Brandon had given him before departing.

“Maybe he has another trick up his sleeves.”
