Chapter 514
“That’s great.” A long sigh of relief escaped Pearl.
She understood Hanzel’s feelings well. If he had casually slept with Feather, it would have been a great loss and a
source of grievance for Feather.
“I’m going to meet Richard and discuss something with him. Rest well.”
As Pearl was about to leave, Hanzel stopped her. “Are you going to talk to him about your engagement, Pearl?”
Shocked, Pearl asked in return, “How did you know?”

family is aware of it.”
Pearl was taken aback. Richard seemed to be quite good at boasting.
With a helpless smile, Pearl decided to confront Richard and demand an explanation later.
After Pearl left, Hanzel was lost in thought.
Observing him, Feather ventured to ask, “Hey, do you like Miss Pearl?”
Hanzel couldn’t help but burst into laughter. “Is it that obvious? Even you’ve noticed?”
Feather bit her lip, trying to probe further. “So, was it because of her that you… didn’t sleep with me?”
Surprised by the question, Hanzel glanced at Feather, who had looked away.
“No, I felt that I couldn’t ruin your reputation.” Hanzel was an honorable man and wouldn’t take advantage of

“How? I can’t compete with Rick.” Hanzel sighed in resignation. “She doesn’t have feelings for me, and I’m not as
exceptional as Rick. It’s only natural that she prefers him.”
“No, I think you’re pretty good.”
Feather’s words brought a smile to Hanzel’s face. His handsome appearance, coupled with his cheerful eyes and
bright smile, made for a captivating sight.
Even though Feather typically lacked desires, she found herself momentarily stunned.

Pearl went to the president’s office at Waldorf Enterprises.
Richard was engrossed in reading a document. When he noticed Pearl’s arrival, he pushed the document toward
her. “You’ve come at the right time. Take a look at this and see if you spot any issues.”
Suppressing her fury, Pearl delved into the intricate clauses, which soon gave her a headache.
