Frederick's eyes narrowed at Priscilla's outburst.Was she having another meltdown this time?"First of all, I never conspired with Vivianne. Secondly, I didn't resort to any tricks before, and I won't now. I always act with integrity, so I suggest you refrain from using such harsh language. I've tolerated you long enough."Priscilla's anger flared upon hearing Frederick's words. He had gone to great lengths to sabotage her job interview, using underhanded tactics against her designs, and now he dared to blame her!At that moment, Grace, like a loyal lapdog, jumped in to defend Priscilla.She marched up to the women around Frederick and snapped, "You bunch of sluts! Have you never seen a man before? Get out of here now! Be careful, or I'll have my cousin bring some thugs to teach you a lesson."The female colleagues, already intimidated by her, quickly distanced themselves. They were all too familiar with the unsavory reputation of her cousin, Mitchell.He held a position in Tea
Frederick scoffed at Grace's words. "So, what's the difference?"Grace replied with a hint of satisfaction, "The first option lets you leave on your own with a shred of dignity. The second? I throw you out."Frederick snorted. Seeing Priscilla and Grace again was like accidentally tuning into a cringeworthy reality show.If he'd known they worked here, he would've turned and walked right back out. However, Grace just threatened to kick him out. Leaving now would be like admitting she scared him.There was no way!Sitting himself nonchalantly in a chair, Frederick met Grace's gaze unflinchingly."Here I am. Are you feeling brave enough to toss me out? Do it. Otherwise, shut your pie hole and get lost. What a rabid dog! I've got work to do!"Seeing those two again made Frederick sigh in exasperation. It seemed fate was determined to throw him together with these annoying women no matter where he went!Frederick's comparison of Grace to a "rabid dog" sent ripples of laughter thr
This was the first time.Never before had an employee dared to challenge Grace's authority.Used to bending even the director to her will, Grace understood a core principle—power thrived on fear. One slip, one instance of defiance, and the carefully constructed hierarchy could crumble. Grace said angrily, "Bitch, just because you have Frederick as your shield, you think you're something special? Hiding behind a man, huh? That's your talent? You're nothing but a slut born to be played by men!"Melissa lost her temper as well. She stepped in front of Frederick, hands on her hips, and said to Grace, "So what if I am? I'm right here, not hiding behind anyone. Hit me if you dare. Do you think you can beat me with your injured hands?"Grace was caught off guard by Melissa's sudden defiance. She faltered as the throbbing pain in her hand was a stark reminder of her vulnerability. Two healthy hands against one injured one; the fight wouldn't be pretty.Empowered by her newfound courag
With Team One now so united, they probably wouldn't apologize.Catching Priscilla's frown, Grace quickly soothed her concerns. "Don't fret, Prissy. Once Frederick's out of the picture, those sheep will cower back down. He's the one riling them up."Priscilla nodded in agreement. Frederick was clearly the instigator.With renewed purpose, they set off to find Ivy.…Meanwhile, Ivy was on the phone with Anya."Anya, weren't you supposed to check on the new guy today? What happened? And guess what? He already got into a fight with Grace on his first day! Talk about a troublemaker."Anya's brow furrowed at the news of a fight. But upon learning it was Grace who ended up on the receiving end, she suspected there was more to the story. As close friends, Ivy kept Anya looped in on all the company gossip, and Grace's bullying was no secret. However, Anya had become somewhat desensitized to it. Talented salespeople often got away with bullying their colleagues. After all, they brough
"You're nothing but a leech, Frederick York! Worthless and unwanted, that's what you are! Now hurry up and sign these divorce papers so that Pris can be free of you!"A thick stack of papers was rudely thrown right in Frederick's face.He clenched his fists tightly to suppress his rage. He was not in the mood to spare any attention to the well-dressed scion before him. Ignoring Wade Zahler, Frederick set his gaze on a limited edition Ferrari pulled up a distance away."Why won't she come and talk to me herself? I will only discuss the matter of divorce with Priscilla."Upon hearing Frederick's words, Wade behaved as though he'd just heard the joke of the century. He guffawed exaggeratedly."Pris handles business dealings worth tens of millions by the minute! Do you think you're worth her time talking to you personally? Who do you think you are?"For the last three years, she has had numerous dealings with Monroe Group. She is now one of the most prominent and wealthy ladies in th
The moment he turned away, Frederick decided that he would forget about Priscilla.Seeing him leave, Priscilla felt a tugging ache in her heart. She shook her head to clear her thoughts.She was determined to be the best businesswoman in the world, and Frederick would only be a stumbling block on her way to success! If she did not cut ties with him, it would be disadvantageous to her plan!"Haha! Prissy, the scumbag's finally gone. Let's go for a nice candlelight dinner!"Seeing that they were now divorced, Wade rubbed his palms together and licked his lips gleefully. He gave Priscilla a good look, all the way from her sexy legs up to her exquisite face.Priscilla frowned slightly. "I have some matters to deal with tonight. I haven't got time to have dinner with you."Didn't you say that you were going to help me deal with the divorce procedures? Here, deliver this card to Frederick for me. There are ten million dollars in here. Also, please call me by my name properly in the fut
In the Miller mansion, Priscilla's mother, Marianne Sacher, flipped through the divorce papers with a wide smile on her face. Her smile was so wide that the edges of her eyes wrinkled up."What great news! Pris has finally got a divorce from her good-for-nothing husband! I'll look into your marriage with Pris in a few days, Wade. Does your promise of a jewelry shop as a wedding gift still stand?"Wade hurriedly patted his chest and assured Marianne, "Rest assured, Mrs. Miller. The day I marry Pris will be the day you become the owner of a jewelry shop."Marianne was delighted to hear Wade's guarantee. Her daughter, who was a divorcee, in exchange for a jewelry shop. What a bargain!All of a sudden, she caught sight of a clause on the divorce papers. Priscilla had just agreed to pay Frederick an alimony of ten million dollars. Marianne's expression darkened in disgust."That son of a bitch got an alimony of ten million dollars?"Wade touched the bank card in his pocket guiltily an
Somewhere in Jenaire City, Frederick lounged on a couch in a hilltop mansion. He was in the middle of a phone call."I haven't got any orders for you. If anything crops up, I'll be sure to contact you."He let out a long sigh of relief after he ended the call. He'd answered too many calls today.Three years ago, when Frederick returned to Jenaire City, he had saved many people. All these people wanted to repay his kindness, but Frederick had no need for their help at that point. So, he came up with the Cloudbreaker and told them that if he ever needed help from them, he would release the Cloudbreaker.He had then given the Cloudbreaker to Priscilla, knowing that with these people's powers, they would be able to help her fulfill any wish that she had.Since Priscilla had released the Cloudbreaker today, all these people thought that Frederick needed something from them. Hence, they all called him in hopes of being able to repay him for saving them back then."Mr. York, is this m
