Lying on the bed, Anya's throat felt parched.

"Water... Water..." she mumbled as she slowly awoke, clutching her forehead.

Finding herself in her room, a confused Anya rubbed her head. Fiona promptly brought her a glass of hot water.

Anya accepted the water and inquired, "Fiona, how did I get back?"

Anya's memory was hazy, ending with her drinking with Jerome; she had no recollection of how she returned.

Fiona quickly explained, "Frederick carried you back."

Anya glanced outside the window.

It was already morning, and her confusion deepened. Frederick wasn't aware she had been drinking; how could he have brought her back?

Just then, Anya noticed her phone and the numerous missed calls from her assistant. She frowned, knowing her assistant wouldn't call so persistently unless it was urgent.

The assistant's voice on the other end was frantic. "Ms. Romero, you finally answered! Our company is under attack; many partners have ceased their cooperation with us."

    Anya's eyes widened. "And Wynne? You drove him to jump off the building, forcing him to Jerome's side, didn't you?"Frederick flinched, a slight narrowing of his eyes betraying his simmering anger. These two scoundrels dared target Anya's company, the very source of her pride and purpose. He knew how much this job meant to her, and the image of Anya's crushed spirit fueled his fury."I'll find them right now," he growled, already reaching for his coat.Anya asked, "And what will that help? More fighting? More chaos? Can't you just stay out of it for once? Useless! You're always useless, and now you're dragging me down with you. Frederick, I hate you! Get out!" Frederick's face paled. He opened his mouth to speak, but Anya cut him off, her voice thick with emotion. "Get out! Don't you dare come back until you understand what you have done! This job—it's everything to me! You've never understood me!"Tears streamed down Anya's face as a torrent of memories washed over her. A childh

    Frederick's eyes widened as he entered the office. Olivia looked like a ghost, dark circles blooming under her eyes."Ollie, what happened?" he asked.Olivia jolted at the sound, her face lighting up when she saw Frederick. "Frederick! You're here."He offered a reassuring nod, taking note of the exhaustion etched on her face. It wasn't hard to guess the reason—Mitchell."Don't worry, I'll handle Mitchell. He won't bother you again."Olivia's expression flickered, confirming his suspicions."That's… That's exactly what's been keeping me up. Mitchell works at our company too. I'm scared of running into him."Olivia's encounter with Mitchell in the restroom yesterday had left her shaken. Determined to avoid further surprises, she discreetly inquired about him, only to discover he was an employee there."Mitchell works here too? How come I've never bumped into him?" Frederick echoed in surprise. Olivia explained, "Apparently, he's Priscilla's brother from Team Two. He doesn't se

    Concerned that Olivia might have a fever after Mitchell's scare, Frederick gently touched her forehead.The unexpected contact startled Olivia, causing her to cry out and quickly run away.Watching her panicked retreat, Frederick shook his head with a helpless smile. He resolved to talk to Priscilla about Mitchell's behavior, and he was ready to intervene if necessary.His thoughts shifted to Ivy's request to investigate the company's medicinal materials. He knew he had to tread carefully to avoid alerting those responsible for any financial irregularities. The company was relatively new, and Melissa, one of the earliest hires, possessed valuable knowledge.Returning to his desk, he found Melissa applying some makeup.She quickly put it away, offering him a cup of steaming coffee. "Frederick, you're back. I made this coffee for you. You should take breaks more often."He had always appreciated Melissa's support.Taking the cup, he inhaled its aroma with a faint smile. "It smells

    Frederick looked up at Marsh. He disliked bypassing his supervisor to speak to higher management, knowing it was a workplace taboo.However, Frederick was currently working on Ivy's behalf and feared that informing Marsh would jeopardize the investigation.Since the inquiry was confidential, Frederick couldn't explain. He simply glanced at Marsh and calmly asked, "Is there a problem?"Frederick held no goodwill toward this corrupt individual.Grace had instructed him to target Olivia, mistakenly believing she was Frederick's girlfriend. With Frederick out of the picture, Marsh saw an opportunity to carry out his plan. He eagerly anticipated Frederick's reaction upon discovering Olivia's fate.With a sardonic chuckle, Marsh said, "Of course not. You're our company's 'golden boy.' If Ms. Mallin personally approves your leave, it's perfectly fine with me. You must have important business to attend to, so go ahead. Just remember to be back on time tomorrow. You might be in for a surpr

    Olivia glanced at the address and gave a reassuring nod. "Don't worry, Mr. Benson. I'll deliver the documents promptly and return right away so it doesn't disrupt our workflow."Marsh nodded and smiled, "Sure, go ahead."But inwardly, he was thrilled, knowing she wouldn't be coming back.…Meanwhile, Frederick reached the herbal medicine market. After surveying the area, he gained a good grasp of its layout. Some herbs from a few shops were of high quality, but Frederick didn't immediately settle on a new supplier for Timbergale Corporation.He knew that changing suppliers without first investigating the previous herb issues would raise suspicions.Time was crucial, so he decided to investigate the herbal suppliers swiftly. He also purchased the herbs needed for Nicole's facial treatment and then set off for Pegasus Industries. Taking a taxi, he arrived at Pegasus Industries. Upon seeing the place, his expression shifted slightly. Pegasus Industries was merely an old, dilap

    Frederick furrowed his brow, eager to uncover their scheme.He watched as the two thugs, huffing and puffing, loaded the cart while grumbling."Damn it!" one exclaimed. "Those who climb the ladder get to enjoy life. We're the unlucky ones! We didn't like factory work, so we beat up the manager to join the 'big leagues.' And now we're doing the same work for even less pay." The other thug quickly hushed him. "Stop complaining and hurry up. If Mr. Miller finds out, we'll get another earful." At the mention of Mr. Miller, a flicker of fear crossed the first thug's face, but he stubbornly retorted, "Hmph, what's so great about him? He was a small-time crook like us. Now he found a way to sell these herbs, so he acts like he's the king."Despite his defiance, his hands didn't stop moving, swiftly filling the cart. In no time, the cart was full. Frederick, perched in the tree, had clearly heard their conversation and decided to follow them.He trailed them to the other side of the ya

    As Frederick surveyed the workshop, he noticed a large trash bin in the distance.The lid began to open slowly as if by itself, and a camera peeked out.Frederick was initially puzzled but quickly realized that someone was concealed inside the bin, carefully pushing the lid open to record secretly. It seemed he wasn't the only one gathering evidence in this nefarious operation.However, whoever was hiding in the bin was rather amateurish. Such a conspicuous hiding spot was sure to be discovered soon.Indeed, two thugs in work uniforms approached at that moment, pushing a cart laden with failed processed herbs."Man, there's so much unusable stock every day. Pushing this stuff around is exhausting," one grumbled."Quit complaining. Let's just get it over with," the other replied. Hearing the approaching voices, the person in the trash bin panicked. He hastily retracted the camera and shut the lid. The two thugs pushed the cart closer, ready to open the bin and dump the waste h

    Lily waited with bated breath for the trash bin lid to spring open.Suddenly, a man's nonchalant voice drifted from outside. "Why do I have the urge to pee now? Ah, whatever, the trash bin will do."Peeing in the trash bin? Lily's mind reeled.Inside the bin, Lily was paralyzed with fear. The instruction manual was the furthest thing from her mind—no manual could have prepared her for this.Mustering her courage, she shoved the lid open and scrambled out. She shouted, "Don't... Don't pee..."Her eyes met those of a man with a playful smirk. Frederick had shed his work jacket, the workshop ruse no longer necessary. His earlier remark had been a playful ploy to coax whoever was inside to reveal themselves.Frederick was curious to uncover who else was probing into Pegasus Industries. He had witnessed this individual filming and was determined to prevent the footage from leaving the premises.The inner workings of Pegasus Industries couldn't be exposed before he reported his findin

    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
