Chapter 491
Peart remembered how Richard insisted on guarding the restroom and couldn’t help but twitch her l*ps. “I’s fine. You can all go back. Why listen to him?”
“Because Mister Damian pays our wages.”
“I’ll pay triple. Stop following me, okay?” Pearl understood they were concerned for her safety, so she held back her anger.
“I’m afraid that’s impossible, Miss Pearl. Please just let us follow you. We can’t disobey Mister Damian’s orders,” said one of them, clearly conflicted.
“Fine, fine. Do whatever you want.” Pearl rolled her eyes. “But I have one condition. Don’t show up in front of me randomly, got it?”
They breathed a sigh of relief and nodded. “Yes, Miss Pearl. Rest assured, we’ll remain discreet.
“Then why don’t you obey and just go back?’ Pearl thought. Resigned, she said, “Alright, go now. My friend will be here soon. Please don’t get caught!”
“Don’t worry, Miss Pearl. We’re not stupid. We won’t expose ourselves to your boyfriend.”
‘Boyfriend…’ Pearl couldn’t help but wonder how much they knew about him. She rolled her eyes again. “Whatever.”
“By the way, Mister Damian knows about your relationship. He’s worried you might meet a bad guy, so he decided to return from abroad earlier than planned.” Mister Damian had them purposefully convey this message to Pearl to intimidate her and add some pressure. But she didn’t seem pressured at all.
Pearl turned pale. “Got it.” This guy was going to punish her again!
Seeing her reaction, they didn’t stay any longer and left quickly.
After that, Pearl saw Richard and Mobius running over anxiously.
Seeing Pearl unharmed, Richard breathed a sigh of relief. “Where were you, Pearl?”
Pearl pointed to the room. “Hanzel and Esther are inside.”
Mobius’s heart sank. “What the…”
“Don’t worry. They were probably drugged and left here not too long ago,” Pearl comforted him.
Mobius sighed in relief.

‘As you can see, there were lots of reporters earlier. I stopped some and deleted their photos, but it doesn’t mean they’re completely safe. A few got away.”
Mobius frowned, suggesting, “Then I’ll find someone to help you delete everything!”
“It won’t work. There are too many media outlets. Even if you search one by one, they’ll be faster at publishing the news,” Richard reminded.
Pearl nodded in agreement.
“So what do we do? We can’t let people think something’s going on between them, right?” Mobius was worried, and he had a point. This wasn’t just a rumor; it was about catching someone in bed with another person. No matter how you explained it, it would become a scandal.
