NovelOnlineRichard's refusal to help her company was a harsh reality for Pearl to accept. Her heart ached as she looked up with determination and sincerity. "I
don't care about your attitude towards me, but | still hope you can save my company. It's in everyone's interest. I'm sure you understand, Mister
Richard.”
She was right. In Enswood, aside from the Waldorfs, Cerubleu held the most power and even more potential than the Waldorfs. The once-balanced
situation, where both powers coexisted, was now on the verge of collapse.
"I do," Richard replied, his eyes resolute. When emotions failed, he turned to reason, a method that aligned with Pearl's style.
"Since you've made that clear, | won't trouble you further." A hint of disappointment flashed in Pearl's eyes.
There was no way out now. Richard had closed himself off entirely. No matter how she pleaded, he wouldn't lend a helping hand. He seemed
determined not to help Cerubleu.
Leaving these words behind, she could only leave.

However, behind her, Richard's gaze was deep and unwavering.
With her only solution blocked, Pearl returned to the office where Wayne awaited her. Seeing her somewhat despondent, he understood what had
happened.
"He refused to help me, Wayne." She spoke those words as if drained of all strength, as if she might collapse at any moment.”
Looking at her in this state, Wayne felt distressed but didn't know what to say to comfort her. "It's okay. We'll get through this together.” He specifically
used the word 'we.'
Pearl knew he was comforting himself and managed a wry smile. "It's okay, I'll think of another way for the company.”
From that day on, Pearl immersed herself in the office all night long. However, the company’s situation worsened each day. 30% of the staff had
already resigned, leaving the remaining 70% with half of them still complaining.
Many had lost the will to work, and the company was in dire straits.
Today, a meeting of the company's executives was held. Pearl sat at the main seat, looking slightly weary.
Seeing her in this state, her staff dared not say anything.
There was only a man named Bennett, a senior executive in the company, who looked at Pearl and spoke discontentedly, "Miss Pearl, you said that
you found a solution that would save our company. What exactly is this solution you mentioned?"
Pearl wanted to offer sexplanation, but she quickly realized she had no excuses at all. In her current situation, trying to save the company was
like chasing a mirage.
"Sorry, | didn't successfully implement the last plan,” she said.
Upon hearing this, those who had been silent began to murmur.

"How could that be? Didn't you promise that?"
"Yeah, why didn't you tell us earlier? Why keep it hidden until now?"
"If Mister Bennett hadn't asked, we wouldn't have known that the company is on the brink of bankruptcy.”
"Miss Pearl, just tell us the truth. Is the company closing down? If it is, we need to get spreparations done."
A barrage of comments hit her like a wave.
Pearl clenched her hands under the table, maintaining a calm appearance. "The company isn't closing down. I'll present specific implementation
measures after this."
"Well, why don't you tell us now? What's your plan?"
Pearl's eyelashes drooped slightly. "Currently, | don't have any particularly good plans.”
