Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Chapter 790

As expected, the only person who could make Richard do anything in the middle of the night was Winona.

Pearl smirked. "If that's the case, I wonder if you'd be willing to pay the amount that's on my mind."

"Name your price," Richard replied.

"30 million," Pearl stated confidently. She wouldn't have agreed for anything less than that, even though Hugo had paid 11 million.

Richard hesitated, saying, "Isn't that too much?"

Pearl was surprised, and her tone became sarcastic, "Is it? If Hugo can spend 11 million on Estrella, an influencer he's interested in, then why wouldn't you, with your huge company, be willing to fork out 30 million for the woman you love?"

Pearl's words drew a clear line between a crush and true love, insinuating that if Hugo could spend such a sum on a crush, Richard should certainly do the same for the woman he loved.

Richard went silent.

"If you don't think it's a good deal, let's forget this then. Please don't call me about it again." She was ready to hang up and go to bed.

"Wait." Richard then slowly said, "30 million then."

"Oh, I didn't know you were such a generous person." Pearl couldn't help but sound a bit jealous. Richard, known for his strict financial discipline, wasn't one to waste money. Yet, now he was willing to spend such a considerable sum on a woman.

"You're right. Spending a little money for the woman I love is fine." He then hung up. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

'For the woman he loves? Sure, you rich bastard!' Pearl hid under the blanket.

The next day, Pearl replaced the other lesser-known actress with Winona and posted a notice with similar information. The internet went crazy in response.

[Richard Waldorf truly is the most famous eligible bachelor. The way he treats his fiancee is to-die- for]

[30 million! Who would spend so much money just to make the person they love happy?]

[So what if it's 30 million? Would that bother me with a 2000-dollar salary? Does it affect my microwave dinners for months?]

[I'm so jealous. Why am I not Winona Jessleton?]

[Hugo spent 11 million for his crush and now we have Richard spending 30 million for his fiancee. I don't understand how the rich think.]

[The Waldorfs are definitely the romantic type.]

[But… Isn't Cerubleu's president Richard's ex-fiancee? Isn't it awkward for them?]

[Can't you see? Winona must be trying to show Pearl who's boss because Richard treated Pearl really well too…]

[Oh, the show is starting. I have my popcorn ready.]
