Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 745

Celine nodded, then shook her head, saying, "It's okay."

Silas raised his chin at her, expressing gratitude for not holding him accountable. However, from Celine's perspective, it seemed like he was openly flirting with her.

She clenched her fists tightly. This man was the most outstanding one she had ever met, and she was determined to win him over.

After editing and sending the videos, Pearl returned to her office.

Suddenly, she received an email. She casually opened it and froze when she saw the recipient's name.

After reading the email, Pearl stood up and walked out.

Downstairs, a dark blue sports car was parked. Pearl looked at the familiar license plate and got in the car.

The man's smile became even more radiant in the driver's seat, and the scar on his brow was especially noticeable. He couldn't help but feel a hint of nostalgia as he gazed at Pearl.

"Long time no see. Have you been well lately?"

Pearl remained cold and distant, deliberately keeping some distance between them. "Hugo, whether I've been well or not has nothing to do with you."

Hugo noticed her deliberate effort to distance herself from him and couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. "Don't be so cold. You'll probably be interested if I tell you what I'm about to say."

Pearl gave him a cold glance. "Didn't you already make it clear in the email?"

Pearl feared that saying too much would infuriate him, so she kept quiet.

Hugo suddenly laughed, catching her off guard. "Why do you think I came back to the country with you?" On his somewhat insincere face, he carried a lingering hint of a smile that didn't feel natural.

"You're not going to tell me you came back this time just for me, are you?" Pearl retorted. That would be incredibly insincere and disgusting.

Hugo shook his head helplessly. "Of course, it's not just because of you. I have more important things to do, but it's related to you."

Pearl frowned, sensing a sudden hostility coming from him. "What is it?"

Hugo grinned cunningly. "To take over Waldorf Enterprises and make sure Richard has no right to have you!"
