The two-story villa offered ample rooms, and Fiona's suggestion struck a chord with Anya.

She readily agreed and set about packing her belongings.

Frederick watched them with a slight shake of his head.

Living together wasn't a priority for him at this point. His focus was to be her lifelong protector, and there was no need to rush things.

As he observed the two women bustling around, he sensed a touch of fatigue evident in their movements.

Frederick offered, "Sweetheart, why don't I lend a hand with moving those?"

Fiona, ever vigilant, immediately stepped in front of the doorway.

Her gaze was wary as she replied, "We appreciate the offer, but it's alright. We can manage. Let's be honest, some men can be a little... opportunistic, especially around a woman's personal belongings. You wouldn't happen to have any designs on Anya's clothes or socks, would you?"

Frederick's eyes widened at the blunt accusation. He hadn't anticipated such a young woman to be so versed in the unsavo

    Fiona's cheeks flushed with anger as she dragged Anya to the couch and said to Frederick, "You're moving all the stuff!" Frederick was helpless about Anya overexerting herself and reluctantly complied.Fiona fetched orange juice from the fridge, poured two glasses, and handed one to Anya. "Ann, have some juice," she said, taking a refreshing sip."We'll keep an eye on him from here, so he won't try anything weird with your socks."Anya felt a pang of guilt watching Frederick haul her belongings while she relaxed."Isn't this a bit much?" she asked.Fiona shook her head vigorously. "Ann, you don't understand men. When they have energy, their minds wander. What if he sneaks into our room and tries something? But if he's tired from work, he'll just pass out at night and won't have the energy to think about that stuff!"Anya's eyes widened as she listened to Fiona's surprisingly logical explanation. She couldn't help but wonder how Fiona, a university freshman, possessed such kno

    As Frederick approached, Fiona bounced over and eagerly handed him the "special" orange juice."Ann asked me to give this to you," she said.Frederick looked at the murky concoction with confusion. "Why is this orange juice black?"Fiona put on a show of being offended. "Because it's fancy imported black orange juice, silly! Don't you trust Anya's gift? Or are you scared she'd try to poison you?"Frederick simply replied with his straightforward and honest nature, "Oh, it's from my sweetheart? Then I'll drink it." He gulped down a large mouthful before Anya could even stop him.Anya could only shake her head in exasperation. Fiona was too mischievous, and Frederick too trusting.He deserved to be tricked!Fiona leaned back and expected a look of disgust on Frederick's face.However, Frederick wiped his mouth and said, "Wow, this is actually good! Must be some high-quality black orange juice!"Anya and Fiona's jaws dropped. It was a concoction of orange juice, soy sauce, and

    Fueled by anger, Fiona stormed upstairs, her cheeks puffed like a disgruntled chipmunk. Anya quickly followed as she knew Fiona all too well. Fiona was not one to take things lying down. Frederick didn't manage to make her cry this time, and Anya considered it a stroke of luck.As she marched upstairs, Anya shot a withering glance at Frederick, silently pinning the blame on him.Frederick could only rub his nose helplessly. It wasn't his fault Fiona started the prank war after all.In her room on the second floor, Fiona unleashed a torrent of fury and pummeled her teddy bear."What a jerk! How dare you mess with me! Just wait, I'll pay you back for this! I'll punch you to death!" Fiona's threats dissolved into a flurry of childish violence against the defenseless toy.Anya watched with a sigh as Fiona vented her frustration. "Fiona, no amount of punching the bear will faze Frederick one bit."The truth of Anya's words hit Fiona. Deflated, she tossed the bear aside and jumped of

    The last line of the agreement read. "No thinking about me or my cousin without permission."Frederick's bewilderment morphed into full-blown shock with each new restriction. How could they possibly regulate his thoughts? Even a dictator would find Fiona's demands excessive."This is ridiculous!" he finally sputtered. However, Fiona puffed out her chest with self-righteousness radiating from her. "Anya and I are innocent women, Frederick. Protecting ourselves from a... a man like you seems perfectly reasonable. Isn't that right, Ann?"She then turned to Anya.Anya was caught off guard and found Fiona's words oddly persuasive. They weren't romantically involved, and boundaries were important.What if Frederick did have ulterior motives? Additionally, it was her duty to ensure her safety as Fiona's cousin.The stricter the rules, the less likely anything inappropriate would happen."You're right, Fiona. This agreement is a good idea. We need to be careful. What if he sees you

    The next morning, as usual, Frederick woke up early.He found Anya and Fiona still nestled in their beds. When he reached the kitchen, he saw the ingredients scattered across the counters and decided to make a simple breakfast for them.The aroma of cooking wafted through the house, reaching Anya and Fiona as they descended the stairs. Their eyes, drawn by the delicious aroma, landed on Frederick in the kitchen, sporting an apron and moving with practiced ease.Anya's already frosty demeanor seemed to dip a few degrees further. "A grown man, fussing over a stove? Utterly useless!"Fiona silently nodded in agreement. Her dislike for Frederick intensified after yesterday's incident, especially after Anya's comment about having to marry someone who saw her body. The thought of being tied to such an ordinary man left a bitter taste in her mouth.Frederick beamed as he placed steaming hot pancakes and scrambled eggs"Breakfast is ready, sweetheart! Don't let it get cold. There wasn't

    Suddenly, an idea struck Frederick."Sweetheart, your company is mine too. Isn't that being successful enough?"Anya's brows furrowed as she coldly retorted, "Cut the crap. If you're a real man, get a job! Your idleness at home disgusts me."She stood up angrily and was ready to leave.Frederick pondered for a moment. If Anya didn't believe the company was his, perhaps he should find a job first. Having Uncle Sylvester prove it might only worsen things.Anya's voice dripped with disdain, "You know, my father sent me your details long ago. You have no education, no skills, and a divorce to your name. Even college graduates are scrambling for jobs these days. For a drifter like you, it's simply out of the question."Her words stung, even if they weren't entirely baseless. The global economic slump had made finding work a brutal endeavor across all sectors. Manual labor was no exception, especially for someone of Frederick's slight build and lack of experience or qualifications.

    After finishing the dishes, Frederick resolved to find a job to please Anya.He analyzed his situation. His life had been dedicated to cultivating and learning various skills, leaving him with no practical work experience. It was Blazeheart who had always managed the company's affairs.Since returning to Jenaire City, he had remained by Priscilla's side—not working at all. The prospect of finding a job now felt daunting.Turning on his phone, Frederick began searching for job openings in Jenaire City. Suddenly, a top-listed advertisement caught his eye."Timbergale Corporation, hiring urgently…"He didn't bother reading the details, assuming that any company paying for a top-listed ad must be wealthy, well-established, and genuinely in need of employees. Such a company seemed like a good place to gain experience before returning to his own company to support his sweetheart.For now, he wanted to keep the ownership of her company a secret, fearing she might quit in anger if she

    The cleaning lady clutched her aching back as she settled into a chair. "Don't worry about me. Go on to your interview, or you'll miss your chance."Olivia Benson, who had shown kindness to the cleaning lady, felt a wave of despair wash over her as she stood at the back of the now-orderly line.Her selfless act had cost her a prime spot in the queue, diminishing her chances of securing the coveted job. She had waited patiently since morning, even skipping lunch.The thought of returning home empty-handed filled her with dread, knowing it would deeply disappoint her mother. Despite the setback, Olivia remained resolute, determined to seize any opportunity that might arise.Witnessing this scene, Frederick's anger surged.He marched toward the unruly crowd, his voice booming with authority as he shouted, "Out of my way!

    Mary's case was the most severe, while Ivan's symptoms were the mildest, and Frederick could roughly deduce the sequence of transmissions among them. It was clear that Mary infected Nigel, who then passed it to Kimberly, then finally passed it to Ivan. Frederick also saw that Ivan was actually a decent person who unfortunately ended up being betrayed and infected. However, Nigel was primarily worried that Ivan might start trusting Frederick, as he wanted Ivan to believe in his capabilities to carry out his plan.Originally, he intended for Mary to insult Frederick for being poor and unskilled, but she ended up attacking him for having an unpleasant odor, which backfired when Frederick exposed her for contracting syphilis. Now, Nigel had no choice but to take matters into his own hands, he then said to Frederick, "Hehe, Frederick. We all know Ivy is a director, what exactly do you do to be worthy of her?"Nigel assumed that Frederick was just a low-level salesperson, something

    Hearing Frederick's words, Kimberly jumped with joy and stopped crying. While wiping her tears, she pointed at Mary, laughing and said, "You're covered in syphilis, yet you're making fun of me.""Slut, I wonder how many people you've slept with!" After being pointed and insulted, Mary was furious and she was ready to fight Kimberly. "You bitch! I am going to teach you a lesson!" At this moment, Nigel felt terrible. If Mary was diseased, he'd be the first victim. He grabbed Mary and shouted, "Bitch, let me teach you a lesson first. Now I know why you always wanted the lights off! I thought you were shy, but you just didn't want me to find out."In a fit of anger, Nigel slapped Mary hard across the face. Just as Mary was about to explain, she was interrupted by another slap. Holding her face, she yelled angrily, "Nigel, how dare you hit me?! Do you want me to expose all your little schemes and tricks?"Nigel froze in horror; if Mary exposed him, it would have been disastrous.

    Kimberly heard her laughter, and body odor had always been a sensitive issue for her; a wound she'd tried to cover up over the years. For Frederick to bring it up in front of everyone felt like rubbing salt into an open wound. Yet what hurt even more was Mary's laughter; as a fellow woman, it felt like salt to the wound, then roasting it. Kimberly was furious, pointed at Mary and said, "What are you laughing at? Do you want me to come over there and shut you up?"Mary felt wronged, she had only let out a reflexive laugh, but now Kimberly's anger was directed at her. "Did I laugh at you? What proof do you have that I laughed at you?""You're the one with body odor, yet you're taking it out on others. You're such an unreasonable woman!"Kimberly grew even angrier after hearing Mary's retort. "You're the one with body odor, your whole family has it!" "Look at what you're wearing, it's like you just threw on two pillowcases. You're a shameless woman, just trying to show off t

    When everyone heard Ivy's words, they laughed even more. Her words effectively confirmed that Frederick did indeed have an unpleasant odor. It wasn't entirely her fault as Kimberly's words had been a bit of a trap. "Haha, if you smell, just take a shower and don't embarrass yourself here.""With all that cheap stuff on, no wonder he has a smell."Hearing this, Frederick simply gave a slight smile and then asked Mary and Kimberly, "Are two really that fragrant?"Mary and Kimberly lifted their heads proudly after hearing Frederick's words. "Why don't you ask everyone here, ask them if we smell good or not?""Exactly, go ahead and ask."Both of them considered themselves beautiful, and of course, they would smell pleasant. The men around them quickly chimed in, especially those eager to admire Mary, who was dressed in a way that gave them a bit of eye candy. "Of course, they smell good. How could these two beautiful ladies not smell good?""Hehe, Frederick with his cheap, th

    In a hidden corner, Nigel said to Mary, "Damn it, that bumpkin Frederick keeps stealing my spotlight. I am worried that our plan won't go well later.""You should help me humiliate him properly, and Ivan's girlfriend will back you up."Mary pursed her lips and said to Nigel, "Every time something comes up, you just ask me to handle it. My bag hasn't been bought yet, and you've lost 300 thousand dollars"Although Nigel was annoyed by Mary hitting a sore spot, he kept his tone calm and replied, "Help me humiliate Frederick and talk him down in front of Ivan. After that, leave the rest to me. Once it's done, I'll get you more than one bag, I could get you ten bags and it wouldn't be a problem. I don't care about that small amount of money. You saw that Porsche just now, right? I wouldn't mind burning it if I had to." Hearing this, Mary was delighted and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Thank you, babe." She hadn't realized that Nigel was so wealthy and even had a Porsche. Up until th

    Knowing Martin as someone who knew a lot about wood, everyone immediately looked as though they were ready for a good show. They were convinced that the Saint George statue couldn’t possibly be made of anything valuable.Martin let out a strange exclamation. "What the hell!"Kimberly, thinking that Martin was angry, quickly said, "Mr. Lawson, tell us what’s so disastrous about this wood. Are you saying it’s just a piece of junk?"Contrary to expectations, Martin replied angrily, "I’m saying that whoever preserved this Saint George statue was a jerk. This is genuine sandalwood, and yet it’s completely neglected, covered in dust."Most of the group had no idea what sandalwood was worth, but judging by the name alone, it sounded impressive.Kimberly asked curiously, "Mr. Lawson, are you saying this is really antique wood?"Martin examined the statue carefully, scrutinizing every detail. "Judging by the texture, this carving must have been made at least 150 years ago."Everyone was

    "The Saint George statue was indeed a fitting choice for a karaoke." Nigel chuckled, turning to Ivy.“Why didn’t you just go on Amazon and buy a new one for a few dozen bucks? This one is obviously second-hand. Or was it picked up from some junk stall?”Frederick heard Nigel’s mockery and nodded in agreement, a faint smile on his lips. “You’re not wrong. This statue actually was picked up from a street stall.”“At the Treasure Hall in the antique trade market, no less. And yes, it’s an antique.”The truth was, the statue was from the Victorian era. Even the owner of Treasure Hall, Dominic, had recognized its age but dismissed it as worthless, tossing it onto a stall outside.Frederick had picked it up casually, thinking it would come in handy one day, and now it was the perfect gift for Ivan.Hearing this, Nigel burst out laughing, clutching his stomach. “An antique? Treasure Hall? You’re really trying to fool us.”Kimberly chimed in, her tone dripping with sarcasm as she glance

    The group’s attention was fully captured by Frederick’s words, their eyes all on him. Nigel, knowing that Kimberly had informed Ivy at the last minute and that she likely didn’t have a gift, sneered at Frederick."Well, if you’ve got a gift, go ahead and show it.""Considering Ivy and Kimberly’s relationship, the gift should be pretty decent, right?"Everyone was now staring at Frederick with anticipation, curious to see what kind of gift he could produce.Ivy, on the other hand, was completely flustered. She hadn’t handed any gift to Frederick, though she understood he was trying to help her out of a tough spot. But wasn’t this making things even more awkward?Nigel continued to press him, "Where’s the gift? Come on, take it out already.""After all this time, you still can’t take it out. Don’t tell me you don’t even have one."Frederick glanced at Nigel with a calm smile. "Oh? Are you planning to bet 300 grand with me again?"Nigel froze. There was no way he had another 300 t

    Ivan was deeply moved, feeling as though all the unpleasantness from their school days had been swept away. A sense of childhood nostalgia, unique to old classmates, welled up within him.The crowd continued to shower Nigel with praise, giving him thumbs up one after another."A gift worth 10 grand is no small amount. Nigel is truly generous.""That’s right. These days, even classmates hesitate to prepare gifts, but Nigel has shown such generosity.."Most of the attendees had come because of their connection with Kimberly. Each had prepared gifts with costs ranging from a few hundred dollars. Compared to Nigel’s grandiose gift worth 10 thousand, their contributions paled in comparison.Hearing the compliments, Nigel waved his hand dismissively, feigning modesty. "It’s nothing, really. After all, Ivan and I are good friends from way back."Then, Nigel’s expression shifted slightly as he added, "Speaking of good friends, I’m sure it’s not just me and Ivan here who share a special b
