Chapter 542
Susan had mixed feelings. “Since you want to find your mother, I must tell you something. I suspect that your mother knows what you are doing, and she might even be close to you, but you haven’t recognized her. Perhaps she has been secretly watching you, but there’s some strong reason preventing you from recognizing each other.”
Pearl’s mind was clear. She wondered, “What kind of strong reason could that be? Maybe it’s because of Master Jordan!”
She thought that the recent disasters might have been Master Jordan’s orders. If her mother contacted the Waldorfs again, it could be dangerous for them.
Pearl squinted her eyes, and her anger for Master Jordan grew stronger. “I understand, Aunt Susan. Thank you for telling me all this.”
“Don’t mention it. These are things you should know as her daughter.”
Seeing that over half an hour had passed, Susan collected herself and stood up. “Now that you know, you have to take good care of your health. If you find your mother, please say hello for
- me.
Pearl nodded. “I will. Thank you, Aunt Susan.”
As Susan prepared to leave, Pearl continued, “You’re really nice, Aunt Susan. I can tell that Mister Dustan really likes you.” She blinked with a mischievous look.
Susan blushed and playfully said, “You little rascal.” With that, she covered her face in shyness and left.
Pearl smirked and thought to herself. Since that was the case, she felt she had to return to the Jordans.
However, she had just gotten engaged to Richard, and her mother had sent her an engagement gift, indicating that it was safe. She didn’t need to rush things.
Pearl stretched lazily, as she had spent so many days lying in bed that her back was about to break.
She looked at the bowl of chicken soup on the table and shuddered at the memory of the health supplements she had been taking the past few days.
Deciding she didn’t want it anymore, Pearl poured the soup away.
After Pearl recovered, she was eager to get back to work. She heard that her current project’s production crew was in a studio in Bodgow, and Clem had already taken the cast there.
In other words, she needed to go to Bodgow to supervise the project, which was exactly what she wanted.
Unfortunately, the issue with Damian hadn’t been resolved, and he continued to threaten and extort her with phone calls and text messages. Helpless, Pearl could only stay in Enswood for the time being.
Richard had been extremely busy lately. She only found out through subtle hints that Waldorf
Enterprises was facing financial issues, and Richard had been busy dealing with the company’s problems.
So, once Pearl recovered, she secretly went to Waldorf Enterprises to see what was happening.
Upon entering the company, she overheard two receptionists gossiping quietly, and Pearl quietly leaned over to listen.
“Did you hear that Mister Richard is acting strangely? The stock market is doing so well, but he insisted on selling off a profitable subsidiary at a low price. Isn’t that a clear loss?”
“Yeah, Mister Richard’s behavior is really puzzling. I heard that the board of directors is in dispute over it and is considering removing him from his position!”
Pearl’s face immediately darkened. ‘What was Richard thinking?!!
