Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Chapter 25

Pearl turned him down as she had something important to do. She left the party and got into a car, whe re Wanye was waiting.

“Are you all better now, Miss Pearl?”

Pearl laughed. “I’ve long recovered. Let’s go. Step on or it’ll be over before we get there.”

Wayne nodded and stepped on the gas.

They headed to an underground market. There was an auction for an advanced computer there tonight

. It was said that it was a computer once owned by the world’s top hacker, and there was only one suc

h computer in the whole world. Pearl liked fiddling around with these kinds of things, so had to get her

hands on this computer.

When they arrived at the scene, they were just in time for the climax of the auction. The computer was

the last item to be auctioned. The starting price was 1 million and 3 hundred thousand dollars. Every

one was taken aback. Pearl remained quiet. When the voices subsided, she started to bid for the comp

uter.

“16 million dollars. Any other offers?”

Wayne slowly raised his paddle, “17 million.”

“Any other offers? 17 million dollars going once. 17 million going twice…”

“27 million.”

Pearl’s face stiffened. She looked around and spotted

a familiar figure. Unfortunately, many people here were wearing glasses, so it was hard to tell a person’

s real identity. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

“41 million.” Wayne continued to increase the price.

41 million dollars was a high price for a computer. No one else offered a higher price except that strang

e man in glasses. He raised his paddle and said, “54 million.”

54 million dollars?

Wayne tilted his head and asked Pearl if she wanted to keep going. She shook her head and said helpl

essly, “Let him have it.”

After she made up her mind, Wayne stopped raising his paddle. At last, the man walked away with the

computer.

Wayne was about to send Pearl home after the auction was over, but a group of people blocked their w

ay when they reached the entrance. The leading man was a blonde man with blue eyes and glasses. H

is domineering aura was evident at first glance.

“It’s been a long time, Pearl.”

Though he was wearing glasses, Pearl recognized who he was. She said in surprise, “Dimi? Why are y

ou here?”

Dimitri York and Pearl had learned the same trade together, and he was her senior. Besides, their hacki

ng skills were some of the best.

He chuckled. “I came to get the computer. Did you forget that it’s your birthday in two days? I knew you’

d like it, so I came here to Caplein to buy it.”

“How long are you going to be here?”

“Not long. I’m leaving tomorrow. I was planning to deliver this to you, but now I can just give it to you dir

ectly.”

Pearl became annoyed. “I wouldn’t have competed with you if I knew it was you. You paid the organizer

Dimitri ruffled her hair. “It’s fine as long as you’re happy. It’s just 54 million.”

A light flickered in a corner before quickly disappearing.

They talked about their lives before Dimitri left to catch his flight. Pearl returned to the Waldorf residence

Mobius snorted. “I didn’t expect you to be a top student.”

Pearl sat down and ignored his ridicule.

“Okay, stop talking” Dustan glared at Mobius before he cleared his throat. “Since it’s the weekend today,

Pift!

Everyone gaped in shock.
