Chapter 270
Chuckling, Pearl found it troublesome since Richard had started doubting her identity again.
Although Richard had no concrete evidence, Pearl couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat. “No, I
was just being rational. I’m sure it’s not a problem to think fast.”
Richard looked away and spoke casually, “Well, you sounded like someone who runs an entertainment
company.”
Pearl coughed, feeling a bit breathless. “Why would I work for you if that were the case? Stop
overthinking.”
But this time, Richard didn’t agree with her and continued to ponder.
“Alright, let’s stop discussing this. We need to hurry to Esther’s house. After last night’s birthday party,
many people now know that she’s the young lady of the Sanders family. I’m worried there might be a
crowd outside her house.”
Nodding in agreement, Richard drove Pearl to the Sanders Residence.
The scandal involving Esther caused a five percent drop in the shares of the Sanders Group, a
significant hit in the stock market. Tyler, upon learning of the incident, rushed to the company early in
the morning to address the crisis. After all, it concerned his beloved sister, and he couldn’t afford to
ignore the situation.
Esther, waking up early and reading the news, was on the brink of a mental breakdown. She felt
sadness not only due to the negative publicity but also because Mobius had spent the night drinking at
a bar and being intimate with another woman.
Seeing Esther’s distress, Christian offered his support by hugging her shoulders and letting her leannovelbin
into his arms. “It’s alright, Este. Stop worrying. This won’t affect your career. Don’t fret too much.”
Shaking her head, Esther was downcast. “I’m not worried about that.”
but “What are you worried about then? Is it Mobius, who was out late with another woman? I told you
he’s not a good guy, you didn’t listen. See, I was right.” Christian’s words did little to comfort Esther and
only added to her sadness.
Suddenly, a housekeeper knocked and entered the room. Seeing Esther’s gloomy expression, she
said, “There’s a lot of people out there, Miss Esther, making it hard for Miss Pearl and Mister Richard’s
car to come through.”
Esther’s face lit up instantly. “Pearl is here?”
“Yes, they’re outside. I wanted to ask if we should open the back door to let them in.”
Esther nodded. “Please do. Tell them to be discreet so the others won’t notice.” If those fans and
reporters knew that Pearl and Richard were here, they might be implicated too.
Christian, displeased, watched as Esther eagerly awaited Pearl’s arrival and snorted. “Quit overthinking
it. Mobius probably had too much to drink last night and can’t come now.”
Esther lowered her head, a hint of disappointment flitting past her eyes.
So, when Pearl and Richard walked in, they found Esther sitting on the sofa, looking utterly dejected.
“Oh, Pearl.” Esther spotted Pearl and threw herself into her arms, sobbing uncontrollably.
“Don’t cry. I know what happened, and it’s going to be fine. We’ll find a way to resolve this.”
Esther shook her head. “I was on the phone with my agent, and the company is threatening to
terminate my contract if I can’t resolve this scandal within three days. What should I do? I don’t know
how to fix it.”
Every photo was real, including her feelings for Mobius. Everything was real except that she was not
dating Mobius. It would be impossible for the public relations department to explain that.
“Let me ask you one thing, Este. Did you tell others about this?”
“About what?” Esther was stupefied.
“About you having a crush on Mobius.”
