Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 1455

Astrid wanted to make a big deal out of it. She wanted Darius to get a bad reputation even if she couldn't do anything else to him.

Suddenly, the door to the principal's office opened while she was making a scene. Richard walked in, wearing a suit. He smiled at Astrid and said, "I'm so sorry, Ma'am. I've just heard about this situation. So, you're saying you want my son to have a bad name, right?"

Astrid wanted to say yes. But when she looked at Richard, she got too scared to speak. Richard had been in Newsweek many times and was well-known in the finance world. Even Astrid's husband would be scared when he met Richard, let alone Astrid.

Everyone knew how powerful Richard was in Enswood. He had a high status there.

"Oh, no! We didn't mean that..." Reggie Elsher glared at his son and forced a smile. "You must have heard it wrong. We never wanted to teach your son a lesson..."

Darius looked at them and sneered. "How embarrassing!"

When the couple saw that, they flinched. After all, they were smart and experienced people. They realized what was happening.

"Yes, you're right, Darius. We acted impulsively and said the wrong thing. We're so sorry."

Although Mateo didn't know why his parents were acting this way, he knew there must be a reason. So, he kept his head down and didn't say anything.

"Mister Elsher, I heard that you're working at a subsidiary of my family, right?"

He shook his head quickly. "No, that's not necessary. I'm very happy to work at Waldorf Enterprises, and I don't need a promotion. As for your son, I won't punish him either..."

Being satisfied and content was the safest way to be.

Richard raised an eyebrow. "Well, then this matter is over. If you need my help in the future, come to me." He handed a business card to Reggie and left quickly, saying he had something to take care of.

Reggie held the gilded business card and found Richard's bold name on it dazzling. He swallowed and stuffed the card into his pocket. Then, he grabbed his son's ear and left the office, scolding, "How disappointing you are!"

Darius was chewing bubble gum. He walked out and saw Joelle, who was squatting at the door and cutely blinking at him.
