Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Chapter 1322

"What do you mean 'what'? You don't want to?" Richard paused, thinking. "Our family doctor left because he got married. If you don't mind, I'll pay you 42 thousand dollars monthly and increase it based on how well you do."

42 thousand dollars a month?

Adrian couldn't believe it. He was only making a few hundred dollars as a new doctor. He quickly shook his head." Not at all. But do I need to pass a test or something?"

After a moment, Adrian admitted, "I'm still finishing my training and don't have much experience. I'm worried I might not do well."

"You're responsible, humble, and you've got what it takes. You'll learn more as you go," Richard reassured him, listing Adrian's strong points. He then checked his watch-it was getting late, and they had to go.

"Just come with me if that's alright."

Adrian nodded eagerly at the incredible offer. "Okay, I'll go pack up!"

"No need, just come with us. We'll provide you with whatever you need."

Adrian felt like he was dreaming as he followed Richard.

When they returned home, Richard asked the butler to show Adrian to his room and then took Pearl to rest.

Adrian had mentioned that Pearl had been eating food that wasn't good for her. Luckily, the family chef usually saved some of each meal just in case.

Richard checked the meals from the past week and was upset. Except for last night's meal, which Susan made, all the other meals were unsuitable for Pearl.

It seemed like someone was doing this on purpose.

Richard called the kitchen staff, including the nanny and two helpers. The butler, who usually managed them, was also asked to join.

The staff lined up, and the butler said, "I didn't tell them to do this, Mister Richard. I don't know anything about it.

The butler had been loyal for years, so he seemed trustworthy.

The nanny was anxious. "I've watched you grow up, Mister Richard. I would never harm your child."

Richard noticed her genuine worry and then turned to the two kitchen helpers, who looked like twins.

"We would never do such a thing, Mister Richard!" they said together.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

With everyone talking at once, Richard's head started to ache. "Okay, enough. Who has been buying the groceries lately?"

The three looked at each other nervously. One of the girls raised her hand. "I did."

"Why did you pick these items?"

She looked down. "I just bought what we usually use. I didn't mean to buy things that would hurt Miss Pearl." Richard blinked, then nodded. "I guess I'm overthinking this."
