Chapter 280


    The atmosphere between Pearl and Richard remained strained over the next few days. Everyone could


    sense it, but no one


    dared to mention it


    Jenny proposed expanding thepany’s product line into perfumery, and her idea received nearly


    unanimous approval. The sole dissenter was Pearl, who opposed it. Richard criticized her stance,


    worsening their already strained rtionship. He eventually entrusted the project to Jenny, further


    fueling spection about his trust in her.


    People began to wonder if Jenny Boucher might be the new firstdy of thepany, but no one dared


    to voice their thoughts, given that Pearl still held the position of vice president.


    One afternoon, news of Pearl’s resignation spread throughout the office. Jenny sat close to Pearl,


    watching her pack her belongings with feigned sadness. Deep down, Jenny was secretly delighted by


    Pearl’s departure but pretended to feel remorse.


    “Pea, the president is going to be devastated when he hears that you’re leaving.”

    “That’s not my concern anymore. We’ve broken up.”


    Jenny’s heart almost jumped out of her chest, so she asked, “Did you really break up? Why?”


    Pearl red at her. “It just happened. We no longer see eye to eye, so continuing the rtionship is


    pointless.”


    Although Jenny knew Pearl was a decisive person, her unhesitant departure raised suspicions.


    “You have no feelings for him anymore?”


    Pearl’s hand momentarily froze as emotions flickered in her eyes. “Even if I haven’t, it doesn’t matter.


    We’ve lost trust in each other, and suspicion would torment us.”


    Jenny felt reassured by Pearl’s response, so she smiled and said, “You shouldn’t make rash decisions,


    Pea. What if it’s all just a misunderstanding?”


    “Work hard here, and perhaps one day you’ll take my ce… Alright, I’m leaving now.” Pearl didn’t


    wish to continue the conversation, so she headed to the HR department, collected her final paycheck,


    and left.


    Jenny’s l*ps curled into a slow, triumphant smile. With Pearl no longer at Waldorf Enterprises, it would


    be easier to bring down thepany.


    A few dayster, an issue arose with the perfume brand Jenny was overseeing. Despite its unique


    packaging, there were production problems at the factory, resulting in subpar perfume quality. Their


    partners demanded an immediate contract cancetion and requested 130 million dors in


    After some digging, Richard discovered that the factory was actually a stic manufacturer, and their


    products didn’t meet industry standards. Numerousints had been lodged against them, yet they


    continued to operate.


    Waldorf Enterprises convened an emergency meeting, during which Jenny expressed her regret with a


    sad look.


    “As for the factory. Pea introduced them to me. Before she left, she advised me to work with them. I


    have no idea why this happened.” Pearl wasn’t there, so Jenny could say whatever she pleased


    without contradiction.


    Everyone began to suspect that Pearl hadn’t left with good intentions.


    “By the way, before she left, she mentioned that Waldorf Enterprises wasn’t performing well and


    suggested I consider joining Lawson Enterprises instead.” Jenny said it casually and carefully, but it


    stirred everyone’s emotions.


    “She must be a mole nted by Lawson Enterprises to sabotage ourpany. That’s why she asked


    Jenny to do all these things”


    Pearl was suddenlybeled as a spy for Lawson Enterprises
