Chapter 544
But he couldn’t prevent Pearl from having this relationship. After all, it was her past, and he showed up too late.
Pearl suddenly stopped, walked up to the desk, picked up his phone, and took a glance. Then she froze.
In the photos, she was brimming with affection for Damian. How did Richard get these photos?
Pearl gritted her teeth, clearly infuriated. “These are clearly from the past. What could he possibly threaten you with?”
Listening to this, Richard shook his head helplessly. “Keep swiping.”
Pearl continued swiping through the photos and found recent pictures of her and Damian at a bar, sipping drinks in the dimly lit surroundings.
“He said these were enough to prove your disloyalty in our relationship. But I know you’re not like that, so I agreed to his terms.”
With that, he stepped forward and put his arm around her shoulder. “Don’t dwell on it. Losing a company is nothing compared to you.”
Pearl’s heart was in turmoil, and she was speechless. She knew Richard did it for her sake, but she hadn’t expected him to go this far.
She was overwhelmed, and tears welled up in her eyes. “Thank you, Rick.”
This was the first time she had called Richard so affectionately. A warm feeling surged through Richard, dissolving the frosty expression on his face.
“Have you given her the contract?” Pearl noticed that Richard was the only one who had signed the contract.
Richard shook his head. “Not yet. I was planning to meet Jenny and give this to her.”
“I’ll take care of this. Don’t give her the contract yet.”
Richard frowned. “What are you planning to do?”
Pearl smirked. “Didn’t they come and provoke me first? Since they did such a thing, I’ll return it exactly as it is.”

Pearl turned her head and asked, “Is there any blank page in the contract? Let’s take it with us. I want to see if Jenny dares to sign it today.”
The two arranged to meet Jenny at an open–air seaside restaurant.
There was a dazzling array of seafood on the table. Richard gazed at the woman before him with disgust in his eyes.
“Rick, I assume you’ve learned about the matter I discussed with Hughie, right?” Jenny stroked her hair as if she was holding the winning ticket.
“Of course, didn’t I come here with the contract today?”

Jenny gazed excitedly at the contract on the table, her eyes gleaming with anticipation. Although Eric promised to help her make a comeback, there was no concrete assurance. Fortunately, Hugo liked her. He didn’t hold her past involvement with that director against her. Still, he also helped her secure a subsidiary company under Richard.
As long as she could inherit the company, she wouldn’t have to worry about her future anymore. She could also gradually build her career with this company without relying on Eric or any other man.
Seeing the greedy look in Jenny’s eyes, Pearl furrowed her brows and scoffed, “Aren’t you going to sign the contract, Jenny? But before that, there’s something I want to show you. Then you can decide whether or not to sign it.”
Jenny remained calm, saying, “You’ve seen everything about me so there’s nothing to be afraid of.”
Pearl smiled and placed her phone on the table.
Jenny glanced at it from the corner of her eye and instantly turned pale as a sheet.
