Chapter 185
Chet’s expression immediately changed when he heard the word ‘wife’.
“What are you trying to say?”
“I’ve heard that your wife has quite a temper and can be quite jealous. If she were to find out you slept with another woman, do you think she might ask for a divorce?”
Pearl found out that although Chet was proud in public, he was afraid of his wife. He was very good at hiding it so no one knew.
“You b*tch!” Even if he wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed, he realized he was being set up.
“I can imagine how you must feel right now. But if you tried to deceive Waldorf Enterprises, you should have expected us to seek revenge,” Pearl said with a smile on the other end of the phone.
Chet ground his teeth and said, “I’ll sign the agreement.”
The three of them sat down in a VIP room to sign the agreement. The moment Pearl got hold of the document, Chet glanced at her phone on the table and attempted to grab it.
Pearl stretched out her finger and gently pushed the phone toward Richard.
“What are you doing, Mister Chet? Trying to breach our agreement?”
Caught in the act, Chet awkwardly lowered his head. “Never mind. Now that you have the agreement, can you delete everything?”
Pearl shook her head. “There’s no rush. After the plot of land is transferred back, I’ll delete the videos and pictures.”
“I hope you keep your word!” Chet glared at them and left.
“It’s done, Richard.” Pearl smiled cunningly, waving the agreement in her hand.
“Yes, thanks to you, we managed to outwit that old man.” Richard chuckled. “But you promised me that once all this is over, we’ll be a couple. Is that still true?”
Pearl felt a little awkward and tried to change the topic. “He’s just easy to trick. Oh, by the way, when are we going to attend Hanzel’s concert? The ticket he gave me is for the twenty-ninth. What date is today?’
“The twenty-ninth.”
“So his concert is already happening?”
Pearl, unaware that she was running late, was eager to leave, but Richard wasn’t pleased to see her so anxious.
She promised him, yet now she was so anxious because of another man. There was no way he could be glad.
“Why are you so anxious to see his concert? You like him that much?”
“What?” Pearl was confused. They had it planned and everyone was going together. She shouldn’t be wasting time.
“It’s fine. I’ll send the documents back to the office and sort things out. You should go.”
