Chapter 270


    Chuckling, Pearl found it troublesome since Richard had started doubting her identity again.


    Although Richard had no concrete evidence, Pearl couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat. “No, I


    was just being rational. I’m sure it’s not a problem to think fast.”


    Richard looked away and spoke casually, “Well, you sounded like someone who runs an entertainment


    Pearl coughed, feeling a bit breathless. “Why would I work for you if that were the case? Stop


    overthinking.”


    But this time, Richard didn’t agree with her and continued to ponder.


    “Alright, let’s stop discussing this. We need to hurry to Esther’s house. Afterst night’s birthday party,


    many people now know that she’s the youngdy of the Sanders family. I’m worried there might be a


    crowd outside her house.”


    Nodding in agreement, Richard drove Pearl to the Sanders Residence.


    The scandal involving Esther caused a five percent drop in the shares of the Sanders Group, a


    significant hit in the stock market. Tyler, upon learning of the incident, rushed to thepany early in


    the morning to address the crisis. After all, it concerned his beloved sister, and he couldn’t afford to


    ignore the situation.


    Esther, waking up early and reading the news, was on the brink of a mental breakdown. She felt


    sadness not only due to the negative publicity but also because Mobius had spent the night drinking at


    a bar and being intimate with another woman.


    Seeing Esther’s distress, Christian offered his support by hugging her shoulders and letting her lean


    into his arms. “It’s alright, Este. Stop worrying. This won’t affect your career. Don’t fret too much.”


    Shaking her head, Esther was downcast. “I’m not worried about that.”


    but “What are you worried about then? Is it Mobius, who was outte with another woman? I told you


    he’s not a good guy, you didn’t listen. See, I was right.” Christian’s words did little tofort Esther and


    only added to her sadness.


    Suddenly, a housekeeper knocked and entered the room. Seeing Esther’s gloomy expression, she


    said, “There’s a lot of people out there, Miss Esther, making it hard for Miss Pearl and Mister Richard’s


    car toe through.”


    Esther’s face lit up instantly. “Pearl is here?”


    “Yes, they’re outside. I wanted to ask if we should open the back door to let them in.”

    Esther nodded. “Please do. Tell them to be discreet so the others won’t notice.” If those fans and


    reporters knew that Pearl and Richard were here, they might be implicated too.


    Christian, displeased, watched as Esther eagerly awaited Pearl’s arrival and snorted. “Quit overthinking


    it. Mobius probably had too much to drinkst night and can’te now.”


    Esther lowered her head, a hint of disappointment flitting past her eyes.


    So, when Pearl and Richard walked in, they found Esther sitting on the sofa, looking utterly dejected.


    “Oh, Pearl.” Esther spotted Pearl and threw herself into her arms, sobbing uncontrobly.


    “Don’t cry. I know what happened, and it’s going to be fine. We’ll find a way to resolve this.”


    Esther shook her head. “I was on the phone with my agent, and thepany is threatening to


    terminate my contract if I can’t resolve this scandal within three days. What should I do? I don’t know


    how to fix it.”


    Every photo was real, including her feelings for Mobius. Everything was real except that she was not


    dating Mobius. It would be impossible for the public rtions department to exin that.


    “Let me ask you one thing, Este. Did you tell others about this?”


    “About what?” Esther was stupefied.


    “About you having a crush on Mobius.”
