Chapter 95
Stephen was suddenly interested. “Your grandfather? What’s his name?”
“Fredrick Jameson.”
Stephen was shocked to hear his name, then his eyes slowly teared up.
“You’re Freddie’s granddaughter. Your grandfather and I were best friends! But…” He held Pearl’s hand
and continued, You’re the president of Cerubleu. You’re so young yet already so successful. I’m sure
Freddie would be very proud of you.”
“Grandpa Stephen, our partnership…” Pearl asked, but before she could finish, Stephen cut her off.
“We’ll be working with Cerubleu on this project and any other future projects!”
The assistant’s eyes went wide when he heard that “But, Mister Stephen… We need to take into

The old man was annoyed. “Are you doubting Pearl’s capabilities here? Are you questioning my
judgment?”
The assistant recoiled and fell silent.
Pearl smiled gratefully. “Thank you, Grandpa Stephen.”
“Visit me from time to time. You look so much like your grandfather…“.
Stephen engaged Pearl in conversation on various topics until the sky darkened, before finally allowing
her to leave.
Pearl thought this was going to take a while to resolve, but all she had to do was show up. With
Cerubleu now in a secure position, she was feeling a lot better.
She would be able to return to Waldorf Enterprises sooner than expected, but what Richard had said to
her made her hesitate. He had likely reconciled with his old flame and was enjoying his time with her
now. If she went back now, it would ruin things for them.
While thinking about it, her phone rang.
“This is Mobius. Where have you been the past few days? Why haven’t you come back?”
Pearl froze, about to explain, when she heard Richard’s voice on the other end.
“Time to study, Mobius. Don’t you know you have an exam the day after tomorrow?”
Mobius sadly replied, “Okay, okay. I’m trying to get help from Pea. She majored in marketing so I’m
sure she can help me.” “Well, you should have studied earlier instead of waiting until two days before
your exam. I’d be surprised if you don’t flunk it.
Richard’s words were cold but undeniably accurate.

Mobius lowered his head and asked, “When are you coming back, Pea? I really can’t study anymore. I
was focused on racing this semester and didn’t pay attention to my classes.”
Pearl was about to hang up when she heard Richard’s voice, but Mobius sounded so sad that she
couldn’t bear to turn him
down.
“Alright, I’ll be back tomorrow morning.”
Mobius brightened up. “Alright. Thanks, Pea!”
Pearl said goodbye and ended the call.
As promised, she returned to Waldorf Residence the following morning. Mobius was still asleep, and
only Richard was in the dining area, having breakfast.
“Glad you know the way back?” Richard slowly took a bite of his food and sounded sarcastic.

Pearl’s heart, which had been calm for a few days, started raging again.
