Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 723

When the call finally connected, Pearl heard a familiar voice that froze her in place.

"Richard, is that you?"

"Yes, how can I help you?" Richard replied calmly, his voice unwavering.

Pearl began to piece together that the company founding the software in question was likely Waldorf Enterprises. "You are the boss of this company, right?"

Richard confirmed, "Yes."

"Then can you tell me why you banned Silas's account for no reason?"

Richard maintained his composure as he asked, "How are you involved in this?"

"I am his boss, and he works for my company. His livestream account was banned for no apparent reason, and it will have a huge impact on the interests of our company," Pearl lied, exaggerating the situation. Silas alone wouldn't create significant consequences, but she needed Richard's intervention.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, he calmly said with a hint of disdain in his voice, "I would never guess your company is relying on an influencer to maintain its profits."

Richard's remark was both mocking and dismissive, which angered Pearl. She retorted sarcastically, "I didn't expect your company to ban someone's account for no reason. I'm sure your employees are doing this because the person at the top of the management isn't very ethical."

Her comment seemed to hit a nerve with Richard, causing his expression to darken.

Meanwhile, Winona had been listening outside the door. She entered and pretended to have just arrived.

"Richard, why do you look so unhappy? Did something happen?" Winona put on a soft, caring demeanor, speaking with the tone of a loving partner.

"Nothing. Work is just a little messy so I'm in a bad mood," Richard responded coldly.

Winona stepped closer, placing her hands on his shoulders and gently squeezing them. "I know you love work, but don't tire yourself. It would hurt me."

Richard felt an urge to brush her hand away but resisted the impulse. Instead, he turned his head and forced a smile. "Thank you, Winona. I'm so lucky to have you."
