Chapter 1012
"No, I'm not that bothered. I just find it weird."
Richard pulled her into his arms to comfort her. "I know it's not just about Mister Elijah. There's something else going on. And I can sense what Silas is up to."
"Yeah, right."
"So, you don't have to worry. I won't let him off if he's still interested in you," Richard said, sounding jealous and childish.
Pearl smoothed his jacket and playfully pinched his nose. "Don't worry. I know."
They were about to leave when a group of people barged into the office with urgency. Leading them were several police officers accompanied by some nosy employees.
"Mister Richard, we've received a complaint about illegal tax evasion in your business. Please come with us," one of the officers said, flashing his ID.
As a result, Richard and Pearl's plans for a meal were dashed, and instead, they had to accompany the police to the station.
Before leaving, Pearl noticed a smug smile on a man in the crowd—Silas.
She made a mental note of it.
