Chapter 340


    Derrick chuckled slickly. “Naturally, I’ve tampered with those records. Think about it, Lawson


    Enterprises’s annual tax revenue amounts to billions. With such a sum at stake, the boss wouldn’t


    willingly pay up. By making a few changes, we could save a significant amount of money, right? And I


    could even pocket a bit of profit from it.”


    As Derrick finished his sentence, he discreetly made a hand gesture indicating the number 9.


    “Mister Derrick, you’re truly amazing!” Pearl, with one hand propping up her chin, smiled enigmatically.


    But deep down, she felt repulsed while observing Derrick’sscivious expression.


    Seeing even such an aloof woman as herself had been won over, didn’t that indicate that his charm


    was exceptional?


    Anticipating the resolution of the situation, Pearl discreetly retrieved her recording pen, preparing to


    rendezvous with Richard.


    “Mister Derrick, let’s call it a day here. I have urgent matters to attend to and must leave now, “Pearl


    said abruptly.


    They hadn’t even eaten yet, but Pearl was about to leave. Derrick was momentarily taken aback. “But


    the dishes just arrived. Can’t we finish eating before you go?”


    Pearl turned around and shed him a smile. “Mister Derrick, let’s continue tomorrow. I forgot to turn off


    the gas at home. If I don’t go back right now, there might be trouble.”


    Derrick understood the urgency of the situation, so he didn’t try to stop her. Watching her graceful exit,

    he eagerly anticipated their meeting the next day.


    As Pearl stepped out of the restaurant’s door, she ran into Richard who hade to pick her up. They


    got into the car, and Pearl proudly presented her phone. “I’ve recorded everything he said. It’s solid


    evidence.”


    “Just the recording might not suffice. We need tangible proof to bring down Lawson Enterprises


    entirely.” Richard pushed aside the phone and started the car.


    Pearl essed her phone’s photo album and showed Richard her invention. “I’ve installed a Bluetooth


    camera in my ring. It captured all the pictures and records while I was browsing through the Lawson


    Enterprises’ financial records.”


    “Wow! That’s ingenious!” A hint of surprise flickered in Richard’s eyes. Once again, he was impressed


    by Pearl’s cleverness.


    “Right! We’re stealing confidential information using the Bluetooth ring I designed.” Pearl was quite


    confident about her invention.


    “For now, let’s not reveal these things. We’ll wait for the right moment,” Richard calmly analyzed. “If we


    act first, we might bebeled as troublemakers. Let’s wait for Lawson Enterprises to make a move.”


    Pearl nodded in agreement. “That’s sensible. Let’s head back to the Jordan residence.”


    Richard drove Pearl back to the Jordan residence. As soon as they entered, arge figure pounced on


    them.


    “You’re finally home!”


    Startled, Pearl clung to Richard. When she calmed down, she looked at the magnified face of

    “Every time Ie home, you’re never here. Are you avolding me on purpose?” Felix


    furrowed his brow, his voice resolute.


    Pearl released her grip on Richard, feeling awkward as if she had acted irresponsibly and slept. with


    someone, then left them hanging,


    Richard shared her sentiment and asked, a mix of amusement and annoyance in his tone, Pearl, care
