it was Richard who had founded Waldorf

“But Rick!” Mobius was filled with indignation, but he could not refute the matter as it was Enterprises.

He could only clench his fists and bear it. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Pearl smiled amiably while looking at Mobius angry expression. “You seem very unhappy to see me wo

rk at Waldorf Enterprises.”

“I don’t know how you fooled Dad. You bring nothing but trouble. I don’t know what trouble you’ll stir up

at the company.”

“Don’t be so eager to deny others.”

Pearl could not be bothered to argue with a childish person, so she stopped. After all, it was decided th

at she would work at the company. Mobius could only accept it regardless of how upset he was.

Richard acted swiftly. The next morning, he knocked on Pearl’s bedroom door and told her to go to the

office with him. Today was her first day, and he had arranged for her to be part of the

design department

Pearl smiled as she greeted her colleagues. When she sat down, someone slammed a

stack of documents onto her table. “Here are your tasks. Settle these documents and email them to me

before noon today. Don’t even dream of slacking off though you came out of nowhere after pulling som

e strings… Pearl?”

The woman suddenly stopped her rambling. When Emily Harris saw the familiar, beautiful face before h

er, she was stunned.

“It’s been a while, Emily.”

Pearl naturally remembered Emily. This woman had bullied Pearl in the past by relying on her identity a

s the principal’s daughter. Emily bullied Pearl because the man she liked had a crush on Pearl. They ev

en got into a fight because of it and Pearl was expelled. She went abroad and finished her double degr

ee before returning to her homeland.

Unexpectedly, enemies were bound to meet each other.

Pearl was different now, but she was still as stubborn and strong as ever. She sneered and stared at E

mily’s hideous face.” What’s wrong? Cat got your tongue?”

Emily became confident as she was the department manager, “Listen. I’m your superior, so don’t play a

ny tricks. If you don’t work hard, I can make you leave.” She started using her position to suppress Pea

rl.

“Hold on to that position well,” Pearl said while smiling.

Pearl’s words infuriated Emily. She could not tolerate ridicule, so she exposed their past. “Don’t think so

highly of yourself. How dare you tell me what to do. God knows where you went after you dropped out

of middle school. Maybe you’re an old man’s mistress now. Otherwise, how did you get this job?”

“Mistress?”

Emily thought she had poked Pearl’s sore spot, so she refused to give up. “I heard that you have a clos

e relationship with Oliver the security guard. He pulled some strings for you, didn’t he? You’re so disgus

ting that you’ll take any man. Pearl, it’s been a long while since we last met, and look at how you’ve tur

ned out.”

Emily’s words made the surrounding employees listen intently. Pearl did not care for Emily’s nonsense,

but her gaze turned fierce when she heard Oliver’s name.

“Are you calling me a mistress?”

Emily shuddered out of fear at Pearl’s sudden fierceness, but she soon regained her confidence when s

man’s mistress.

“And what if I am? You did it, but I can’t say anything about it?”

Being one head taller than Emily, Pearl bent over the former and sneered. “I wonder If Mister Dustan wil

in–law a mistress‘

“Y–You’re the one who has an engagement with the Walford family that the news was talking about?”
