Chapter 917


    Wayne had left, and Pearl, with a sharp look in her eyes, quickly thought of a n. She knew


    exactly who she needed to team up with.


    *


    Pearl reached out to the head of Steward Group, suggesting they have dinner together in three


    days. Before, this man had always been polite, but for some reason, he suddenly acted all high and


    mighty, making her wait three days before agreeing to meet.


    But Pearl was fine with it; she just went along with it and rescheduled for three dayster.


    When the dinner date arrived, Pearl didn’t hurry. She showed up half an hourte on purpose.


    She walked into the restaurant and immediately spotted the middle-aged man waiting. She couldn''t


    help but feel a mix of disdain and disgust.


    "Miss Pearl, making a big entrance, I see. You call me here and then show upte," he said.


    Pearl forced a calm smile, hiding her inner revulsion. She sat down casually. "Mister Jonathan, how


    can you say that? You took three days to even ept my invitation. I''d say I''m pretty on time


    compared to that," she replied, her words dripping with sarcasm.


    Jonathan''s chubby face darkened, his annoyance clear. "Miss Pearl, as your business partner, I


    don''t think you should talk like that," he said, taken aback.


    "Business partner? Mister Jonathan, it seems you remember our agreement after all," Pearl shot


    back.

    "What do you mean by that? If this is how it''s going to be, then forget it," he said, standing up


    angrily.


    "Wait, Mister Jonathan. We''re not done here." Pearl calmly pulled out a contract and tossed it on the


    table. "You want to terminate the contract, right?"


    "Yes." Jonathan nced at the contract, his interest piqued. "Yourpany''s ns don''t align with


    our direction anymore. The board and I have decided to move on."


    Pearl covered her lips and smiled slyly. "Is that the board''s decision, or just your personal issue?"


    Jonathan faltered, caught off guard by her question. "Miss Pearl, I don''t have any problems with


    you. Why use me of such things?"


    "If you''re innocent, you have nothing to worry about," Pearl countered.


    "I''ve done nothing wrong. Your usations are baseless," Jonathan said, fixing his tie and trying to


    maintain hisposure.


    "If you refuse to admit the truth, it''ll only be more embarrassing for you when I reveal it," Pearl


    warned.


    Jonathan turned and sneered. "You need proof for usations, Miss Pearl. Do you have any?


    You''re just fishing for a reaction. I haven’t done anything wrong."


    "Naturally, I have evidence." Pearl clicked her tongue and pulled out another document from her


    bag.


    Jonathan''s confidence wavered at the sight of the familiar cover. He panicked when he took a closer


    look. How did Pearl get this document?
