Exiting the company building, Olivia hurried to catch up with Frederick.

Her face was slightly flushed. "Mr. York, thank you so very much for your help today."

Frederick replied with a playful joke, "Don't mention it. If you really want to show your gratitude, just buy me dinner after your first paycheck."

Olivia was briefly taken aback, then the realization hit her.

Landing this job was entirely due to Frederick's intervention and treating him to a meal seemed like the least she could do.

Still, she hesitated, imagining the cost of a decent dinner—likely 200 or 300 dollars.

In a near whisper, she inquired, "Could we have the kebab at the place downstairs from my apartment?"

Her voice was barely audible. Frederick had done so much for her, and all she could offer was a kebab. Would he think she was stingy?

Frederick was surprised; he'd never encountered such a frugal person. But his dinner invitation had been a jest, so he chuckled and said, "Absolutely, I love kebabs."

    Frederick returned to Hilltop Mansion and saw that Jacob and Tyger were able to move around.While Jacob's eyes and Tyger's teeth would be permanent reminders of the fight, their other injuries would heal up with some rest. As Frederick entered Hilltop Mansion, Scarlett greeted him with her usual brand of teasing. "Fresh off the honeymoon and already visiting the attic, huh? What brings you back so soon? Did your wife chase you out, or are you seeking a little extramarital thrill?"Scarlett approached Frederick with feline grace, her luscious red lips exhaling a fragrant breath into his ear.The intoxicating scent made Frederick's throat tighten. It truly was like the breath of an orchid!He quickly stepped back, putting distance between himself and Scarlett. He was a married man now, and being tempted by Scarlett was a dangerous game."I'm just here to get some clothes."Scarlett shot him a pointed look. "What? You're not coming back? Just going to leave me here?"Frederick c

    A troubled expression formed on Frederick's face as he stammered, "The company is currently being managed by my, uh, sweetheart. She doesn't know it's mine yet, and I don't want her to find out just yet. I'm afraid it might upset her."Sylvester found Frederick's explanation quite amusing. It seemed things were progressing well between them, and Frederick appeared to be somewhat under his wife's thumb, which Sylvester considered a good thing.If Anya could keep him in line, Frederick wouldn't turn out like Ambrose, who had been wild and unruly since childhood.Sylvester replied with a cheerful tone, "Alright, give me the name and number for the bank account, and I'll have Anya transfer the money."Frederick quickly asked Scarlett for her bank account details, which she promptly provided. Sylvester heard a woman's voice in the background. It was so alluring that he assumed she must be quite beautiful. Since Frederick was requesting two million dollars to be sent to her, Sylvester

    Upon arriving home, Frederick noticed Fiona perched on the couch.Despite the TV being on, she kept glancing up toward the second floor.This struck Frederick as odd.Noticing his entrance, Fiona smirked and remarked, "Oh, you're toast!"Frederick was baffled. Why would he be toasted?Enjoying his bewilderment, Fiona elaborated, "Anya's in a foul mood. You were bragging about landing a job today, but knowing you, you probably came up empty-handed. Brace yourself, she's about to unleash her fury."Frederick raised an eyebrow. Frederick's brow furrowed, stung by Fiona's lack of faith. Fiona hadn't witnessed his impressive interview earlier!Just then, Anya descended the stairs.As Fiona had predicted, her face was set in a stern expression, clearly indicating a sour mood. Frederick was perplexed.Why was Anya so upset? Frederick quickly inquired, "Sweetheart, what's wrong?"Anya's face was devoid of warmth as she asked, "Did you find a job?"Frederick could detect an added

    Anya glanced at the caller ID, her anger momentarily dissolving into a soft smile.Her voice was soft when she answered. "Hello, Wynne. Yes, I got a position with a major company as president, so joining your family's firm won't be possible. Why would I lie? Dinner? Hmm, alright. I do appreciate you always looking out for me."Frederick caught snippets of the conversation with a man named Wynne and narrowed his eyes. As Anya ended the call, he blurted out, "Sweetheart, who was that?"Anya was still adjusting to their new relationship and was confused by his sharp tone. She simply looked at him without response. Fiona chimed in with excitement bubbling in her voice. "Ann, was that the wonderful Wynne you mentioned? The one who's always been so kind to you?"Anya offered a slight nod. "Yes, Wynne is a great person. He was the student council president back in college and looked after me. We stayed in touch after graduation, and he kept urging me to work for his family's company.

    As Frederick disappeared toward the bedroom with his bags in hand, Anya couldn't help but shake her head helplessly.While she wasn't materialistic, Anya understood the unspoken language of appearances, especially for a director like herself. It was a high-end gala—a room filled with impeccably tailored suits and designer dresses.A fancy restaurant demanded a certain dress code, and Frederick's usual casual wear wouldn't do with his usual shorts and flip-flops.Frederick quickly changed into his clothes, slicked his hair back with hair gel, and put on a tie.In Motheca, Frederick's dashing looks and undeniable charm made him the irresistible target of noble ladies' affections.His towering height, sharp features, and well-toned physique were complemented by an effortless style that made him look good in anything he wore.However, Frederick's usual unkempt appearance concealed his true attractiveness from the world with his hair often obscuring his face.Looking at himself in th

    "Hmph, what kind of luxury clothes could he possibly have? Fancy clothes, huh? They don't look like any luxury brand, not even high-end or any of those others."Frederick gave a helpless smile. The clothes he was wearing indeed bore no brand."These clothes aren't from any brand. An old friend from Motheca made them for me by hand."Anya's eyes widened with interest. "Could your friend be persuaded to come here? I'd love to have him as the creative director of our fashion company!Examining Frederick's attire, Anya was certain that such clothing would be coveted by even the noblest families here. If they could hire this designer, their company could become the pinnacle of Salmasian fashion without any other effort.However, Frederick smiled and shook his head. "He doesn't make clothes anymore."A sense of disappointment washed over Anya. She had glimpsed an incredible opportunity for financial success, only to have it vanish before her eyes.How did Frederick even know someone w

    After leaving the villa, Frederick jogged to Anya's sports car and opened the passenger door."Sweetheart, it's not easy to drive in those heels. Let me drive."Frederick's gentlemanly act caught Anya off guard, but she shook her head helplessly. While she acknowledged his charm and good looks, Anya couldn't help but feel a twinge of disdain for him.What good was a handsome face without ambition and career?Frederick took the wheel and sped off toward the restaurant. As they walked in, their striking good looks immediately commanded attention, a seemingly flawless pair that turned heads wherever they went.At that moment, a man in a high-end suit with glasses approached. His pale complexion and slightly sunken cheeks couldn't hide his excitement as he called out from a distance."Ann, over here!"This was Wynne, Anya's senior.Hearing her name, Anya turned and was taken aback. Wynne looked nothing like she remembered.When Anya was a freshman, they had met a few times and Any

    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
