Chapter 484
“Rest well then.” Richard stood up and adjusted the corners of her blanket.
Eric followed and got up to leave.
After they left, Pearl’s expression immediately changed. She made a call, and on the other side,
Feather’s voice was light yet authoritative. “What’s up, Pea? How can I help you?” novelbin
“You’re in Enswood, right?”
Feather confirmed, “Yes. Didn’t you ask me to go to the villa?”
“Yes, I sent you there because I need your help with something.”
“Go ahead. I’ll get straight to it,” Feather replied, eager to help. Her loyalty to Pearl ran deep.
Three years ago, she had been a part-time worker at a convenience store. When her family business
failed, she had to juggle work and studies. Pearl had recognized her potential and offered her a
different job. Feather showed great talent in hacking, leading Pearl to arrange for Wayne to train her.
Over time, she had become an indispensable asset to Pearl.
“I need you to investigate whether Justin Newton and Tyler Sanders have been involved in anything
recently.”
Justin and Tyler were Richard’s best friends.
Feather was curious but didn’t question Pearl’s orders. She nodded in agreement and accepted the
task.

Pearl was in the hospital for too long and started feeling restless. After much pleading, Richard finally
allowed her to stay in a hotel instead.
“I’m a doctor so why can’t I leave? You know how unbearable the smell of disinfectants is. I can’t stand
it any longer.”
At the hotel, Pearl sat on the couch, massaging her sore back. Prolonged bed rest had taken its toll on
her.
“People who treat others can’t treat themselves. You just want to escape. So, what’s your plan now?”
Richard was concerned because he was taken aback by her untamed spirit.
“Let’s go back and finish the shoot.”
Richard shook his head. “No, it just happened recently, and Hugo might try something again.”
“But we’ve already delayed it for half a month because of me. If we wait any longer, we might not have
enough time to finish shooting. Besides, Jenny has resumed filming, so we can’t afford further delays.”
Both of their shows were scheduled to air around the same time, making it a competitive race.
Pearl had a strong desire to win, and Richard knew that. Seeing how excited she was, he calmly said,
“On a few conditions.”
“What are they?”
“Firstly, no more dangerous stunts, like jumping into the water. That part is off-limits.”
Pearl nodded like a chicken pecking food off the ground. “Sure, sure.”
“Secondly, don’t get too friendly with the male actors on set. Only interact with them when it’s
necessary for a scene.”
Pearl’s l*ps twitched. “You’re talking about the guy who split his cookie with me?”
Richard was so petty!
