Everyone grew suspicious at Frederick's words.

How could Frederick return unharmed when others had been brutally beaten? How had he managed to escape unscathed?

Frederick grew exasperated, but arguing with them seemed futile.

Just then, Ivy stepped forward and asked, "Frederick, how did you accomplish this?"

She had personally witnessed the brutality of those individuals. How could Frederick have persuaded them with mere words?

Marsh quickly interjected, "Ms. Mallin, surely you don't believe his far-fetched tale? Consider who we're dealing with. Why would they simply forgive us?"

Ivy, who had overheard the exchange between Marsh and Frederick, let out an exasperated sigh at Marsh. "They called me personally to confirm their forgiveness. It's hardly a fabrication."

It turned out that Nicole possessed Ivy's contact information and had called to inform her that they had indeed forgiven the company.

Marsh was dumbfounded. Had they truly forgiven them? How was that even possible?

    Hearing Marsh's arrogant words, everyone silently thought he was being utterly shameless. The credit clearly belonged to Frederick, yet Marsh was attempting to pass it off as his own hard work.Ivy smiled faintly, then her expression turned frosty. "My guidance? When did I ever teach you to frame your colleagues?"It turned out that Melissa had filled Ivy in on the events that had transpired. Ivy was no fool; she could see right through Marsh's scheme to set Frederick up by putting him in harm's way. Using a company incident to frame a colleague was something Ivy could never condone. The company was already in turmoil.If Frederick had also been seriously injured or killed, the company would have been liable for his medical expenses and compensation, further exacerbating the situation.Marsh's actions were not only driven by personal vendetta but also demonstrated a blatant disregard for the company's welfare. It was utterly infuriating!Sensing the icy change in Ivy's tone, Mar

    Marsh's fists tightened as he listened to the jubilant chatter.How dared they to mock him? He would find a way to take down Frederick! Then, he would deal with each of them in turn.Meanwhile, Frederick sat on the couch in Ivy's office and noticed the pink water cup on her desk.Curiosity piqued, he asked, "Ms. Mallin, didn't you throw that cup away? How is it back here?"Suddenly, a look of horror spread across Frederick's face. "Don't tell me you use this cup every day and indirectly kiss me with each sip?"Ivy's jaw tightened. Why would she use something she'd discarded? And the audacity of him suggesting they were indirectly kissing! If it weren't for his stellar performance today, she would have given him a piece of her mind.With a strained smile, she retorted through gritted teeth, "Perhaps I had two of these cups, and now I'm using the one from home."Frederick visibly relaxed and placed a hand on his chest. "Whew, you had me worried there."Ivy stared at him incredulo

    Ivy's mind raced. She'd always been meticulous with ingredients, using trusted suppliers and going through thorough inspections.How could something have gone wrong? The weight of Anya's trust and the potential repercussions bore down on her. She had to find the source of the problem.This meant determining who had handled the ingredients. Team Two, led by Priscilla, was responsible for the project. Yet, Priscilla's amiable nature didn't align with someone capable of such treachery.Regardless, Ivy had to investigate discreetly, careful not to arouse suspicion.Noticing Ivy's furrowed brow, Frederick attempted to console her. "Ms. Mallin, please don't worry. The truth will come to light."Ivy's eyes locked onto him, assessing him from head to toe. Frederick squirmed under her intense gaze."Ms. Mallin, I'm flattered by your attention, but I'm a married man. I appreciate your kindness, but I must respectfully decline any advances."Ivy fought back a surge of exasperation. Who sai

    Ivy's anger flared. "If you refuse my task, I'll dock your pay."This seemed to be her only leverage over Frederick.However, Frederick simply smiled. "I gave away my bonus to others. Do you think I care about that?"Ivy was momentarily taken aback. Though this tactic was effective with others, it clearly didn't work on Frederick. She needed a different approach, a unique method for someone as unconventional as him.Ivy pondered Frederick's weaknesses, convinced everyone had one. She recalled how Olivia's salary deduction had bothered him and how Melissa had nearly cried while reporting to her. It was clear these two harbored feelings for Frederick.A sly smile spread across Ivy's face. "Very well. Since you won't help, I'll assign Olivia and Melissa to investigate. You should know this is a serious case of occupational embezzlement. If they catch the culprit, that person might retaliate harshly."Frederick's composure wavered. He knew the risks involved. Whoever was responsibl

    Meanwhile, Priscilla diligently worked on the payroll process in the second team's office.Unlike Marsh, she didn't believe in docking employees' pay. However, when she saw Mitchell's name, her brow furrowed. Her brother consistently missed work yet still received his full salary. This was a growing concern for the company's finances.Just then, an eager voice interrupted her thoughts. "Pris, is it payday? Do mine first, I gotta take off as soon as I get paid."Priscilla turned to see her brother, Mitchell. Their encounters were rare, even at home, except on paydays.She longed for him to find a stable job and stop his carefree lifestyle."Mitch, why don't you come to work like everyone else? What's so appealing about wandering around? Please listen to me and work here properly," she said. Mitchell brushed off her concerns and casually cleaned his ear. "Pris, think about it. I get paid whether I'm here or not. Why bother coming in? Wouldn't that be silly?"Priscilla frowned a

    Olivia struggled to hold back tears as she reassured her mother, "Please don't worry, Mom. I won't get involved with anyone. I can make enough money to support you, my brother, and my sister-in-law."Her mother's voice dripped with disdain. "You, a woman, earning enough? You've barely managed to send us a few thousand dollars a month for years. It's barely enough to feed everyone. The best way to secure our future is to marry you off in exchange for a generous gift. We could get tens of thousands all at once!"The call ended, leaving Olivia heartbroken and confused. She couldn't understand why her own mother seemed to value her more as a financial asset than as a daughter.Wiping away tears, Olivia vowed silently, "I have a good job now, and I'll earn much more soon. When I have enough money to give to Mom, she'll see things differently." With newfound determination, Olivia exited the stall and splashed water on her face. Makeup wasn't a concern; she always saved her money for her

    A wave of satisfaction washed over Mitchell as he whistled, envisioning Olivia in his arms tonight.He remembered Olivia's worn school uniform, a constant reminder of her family's struggles.Her mother's materialism had always been a factor, and now, with Mitchell's newfound status among a gang of thugs, he felt invincible. The sight of Olivia rekindled his desires, and he planned to leverage her mother's fear of trouble by threatening their home if Olivia didn't comply.Meanwhile, Olivia returned to her desk, and the office buzzed around Frederick. His colleagues assumed his summons to the director's office meant a promotion and bombarded him with questions. "Frederick, did Ms. Mallin call you in for a promotion?""Are you the next team leader?""Remember us when you get there!"Frederick's significant contributions and Ivy's public reprimand of Marsh led his colleagues to assume he was in line for a promotion. Frederick couldn't reveal that he was tasked with investigatin

    "It'd be a problem if we did it in broad daylight and got caught on camera," Lynara said.Wynne agreed. Lynara had a good point. If the street cameras recorded them attacking Frederick, they'd likely be arrested, and there was a chance they might expose Wynne's involvement.They'd be much safer if they waited to find a private place without cameras.Wynne responded with a thumbs-up emoji and said, "I'm impressed with your professionalism."Lynara was pleased, sensing the important client's satisfaction. He captured a video of the van, revealing seven or eight menacing figures clutching baseball bats. "Rest assured, Mr. Chandler, my reputation on the streets is rock-solid."Witnessing the intimidating sight of the armed thugs, Wynne felt a surge of satisfaction. "Excellent, send me a video once it's done, and I'll throw in a bonus."Oblivious to the impending danger, Frederick strolled into a nearby sandwich shop and ordered eight sandwiches, which he proceeded to devour with gu

    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
