Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Chapter 1259

Her answer infuriated Finnegan. "What did you say? You don't know where you are?"

"Yeah, someone drove me here. I don't know this place. It seems to be in the mountains."

Finnegan sneered. 'Great. You just went with them without knowing where to? Let me guess. You don't even know that guy's name, right?'

Embarrassed, Esther touched her nose. "I didn't know it then, but I do now."

"Esther!"

"Yes?" Blushing, Esther suggested, "How about this? Give me a second. I'll find out the address and tell you.' "Go now." Finnegan was out of patience.

Esther ran downstairs but couldn't find Luther. She only saw the maid who was cleaning. So, she approached her, took her hand, and asked, 'Do you know where Luther is?"

"I'm sorry. We don't know where our boss is."

The maid's honest reply left Esther feeling stuck, so she sighed. She wondered what to do next.

As she dashed out to look for Luther, the maid made a phone call. "Sir, I did as you instructed. I didn't tell the lady the address."

Pearl's research was progressing. Initially, people knew that Cerubleu had backed this medical research, but soon, Lawson Enterprises began doing the same. Both companies were now in a fierce rivalry.

"Miss Pearl, it seems like you chose the right field to invest in," Wayne said, throwing a finance report on the table and smiling. 'Though we're losing money right now, we'll make three times more if our research works out."

Wayne seemed very sure of himself, but Pearl looked worried despite agreeing with him. She knew Lawson Enterprises had also started research in the same field, and they were catching up fast.

But something didn't make sense to her. How could they catch up so quickly when making medicine was so tough? They had been way behind, but suddenly they were on the same level as Pearl's team. It was suspicious. "Are you worried about Lawson Enterprises?" Wayne could tell her worry at a glance.

Pearl rubbed her forehead. 'Yes, they started a month after us, but now they're just as far along."

"How did they do it? Did they get some top expert?"

Pearl shook her head firmly. "That's impossible. I hired all the best experts around here when we started."

"That's so weird. It's like they caused the epidemic on purpose,' Wayne joked.

But Pearl didn't laugh at his joke. Instead, she stared thoughtfully at the cup on the table.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Maybe... someone had intentionally done it.
