Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl



Chapter 1400

Hanzel's eyes lit up when he heard that Feather was awake. He dashed into the ward and hurried to Feather's side, watching as she slowly opened her eyes, still showing signs of exhaustion.

Unable to contain his concern, he gently touched her face. "You've been through a lot, babe." "It's okay, I'm fine," Feather smiled faintly. Then, suddenly remembering something, she asked, "Where's the baby? Can I see him?"

Pearl couldn't help but chuckle. "Eager to see the baby already? He's fine, it's a boy, and he's in the incubator."noveldrama

Feather blushed slightly. "It's not that, but—"

Pearl continued, "Since you've just given birth, I want to give you a big gift."

"What gift?"

"I've decided to give you 15% of the company's shares."

Feather's eyes widened instantly. "No, that's inappropriate."

Pearl smiled and glanced at her. "Why not? You've just given birth to a child, so consider this my gift to you. Besides, you've done so much for me, and I haven't figured out what to give you yet. I think this is perfect."

Having 15% of the company's shares was equivalent to having the right to enter the

company's board of directors. "Oh, I've also promoted you. You're now the vice president of Cerubleu."

Feather couldn't help but feel her eyes moisten when she heard this. "You treat me so well, Pea. I really don't know how to repay you."

Feather was truly moved. She had lost her parents at a young age and had been on her own ever since, relying on odd jobs to support herself. It was only by chance that Pearl discovered her talents and gave her a chance that changed her life. She thought meeting Pearl was already a stroke of luck, but she never expected Pearl to do so much for her.

Pearl's eyes were teary as well, and she couldn't help but pat Feather's head. "Stop talking nonsense. You've been with me for so many years, done so much for me. I still think this 15 % isn't enough."

Then Pearl turned to Hanzel and punched his fist lightly. "I'm warning you. She's my sister now. If you dare bully her, I won't let you off."

Hanzel pretended to be afraid and shook his head. "How could I? She's the boss at home, followed by the baby, and then me."

Everyone around burst into laughter.

Esther chimed in at the right moment. "Alright, she just gave birth and isn't feeling well now. Let her have a good rest. Let's go out first."

The others nodded and went out together.

As they reached the door, Hanzel teased, "Esther, I never expected you to be considerate of a pregnant woman. When are you planning to marry James?"

Esther glared at him. "Why do you care? Who said I'm going to marry him?"

Hanzel clicked his tongue. "Tsk, you're still holding a grudge. Why are you still stuck on that incident from back then? Can't you forget about it?"

Pearl looked at Esther, sensing that something was off with her attitude. "What happened back then? Why is she acting like this now?"

Hanzel implied that Esther had become the way she was now because of something that happened in the past. What did she go through to become like this?
