Mitchell was flabbergasted by Frederick's combat skills! Having clawed his way up in the criminal underworld, Mitchell was no stranger to violence.He instantly recognized that the few men remaining were no match for Frederick and decided to call for backup.But as Mitchell moved, Frederick's eyes narrowed. There was no way he was letting this piece of trash escape."Where do you think you're going?"Startled by Frederick's roar, Mitchell trembled and hastily ordered the remaining two thugs."Hold him off! I'm going to get help!" Despite their fear, the two thugs attempted to obstruct Frederick's path as Mitchell bolted. He figured that with over a hundred thugs downstairs if they could delay Frederick even for a minute, reinforcements would swarm him. No matter how strong Frederick was, he couldn't fight a hundred men.Seeing the two thugs daring to block his way, Frederick roared, "You're asking for it!"He seized each thug by the arm and hurled them toward the window with
Hearing Mitchell's panicked cries, Priscilla's anxious voice filled the phone."Didn't Grace tell Mitchell to lure only Olivia there? How is Frederick there?"Previously, Mitchell had deceived Priscilla, claiming Olivia was his girlfriend and asking to arrange a meeting to talk.Priscilla, unsuspecting, agreed and entrusted Marsh with the task. Her call was simply to check on her brother's romantic endeavors, but Mitchell's desperate plea left her bewildered.Overhearing their conversation, Frederick was incensed to discover Priscilla's involvement in the scheme to deceive Olivia. His already raging anger intensified.How had Priscilla changed so drastically, aiding Mitchell in deceiving Olivia?Had he not intervened, Olivia would have already been violated by Mitchell."I can't believe you've changed so much," Frederick said.Priscilla was startled to hear Frederick's voice. She hadn't anticipated his presence.She retorted, "Frederick! If you're a man, come after me instead
Behind Mitchell stood a menacing wall of over a hundred thugs, their eyes fixed on Frederick.Despite his recent beating, it was clear why Mitchell dared to taunt Frederick once more. Frederick turned to Mitchell and his reinforcements and spoke coldly, "Out of respect for your sister, I spared you. Step aside, and I'll let you live." Frederick truly didn't want to harm Mitchell for Priscilla's sake. However, Mitchell's response was a burst of mocking laughter, echoed by the hundred thugs behind him. "Haha, you want to hurt me? Let's see if my men agree!"Mitchell's words were met with a chorus of threats from the thugs."Cripple him!""Kill this bastard!""Still acting tough when he's about to die!"Mitchell looked at Frederick with smug satisfaction. With over a hundred men on his side, he was confident in his victory.One against a hundred? It was an impossible fight.Feeling certain of his triumph, Mitchell wasn't in a hurry to punish Frederick. He wanted to savor the
Frederick's seemingly suicidal act momentarily stunned everyone.Seizing this brief pause, Frederick charged forward, his fists striking like twin pistons. Two still-stunned thugs were sent flying and became unconscious from the powerful blows to their chests.The crowd snapped out of their daze, and Mitchell urgently barked, "Quick, cripple him!"Mitchell had experienced Frederick's strength firsthand. Though he believed Frederick couldn't possibly defeat all one hundred of his men, he was still wary. If Frederick managed to land a punch in a last-ditch effort, it could be fatal for him. The thugs finally swarmed Frederick. But instead of fear, Frederick seemed almost exhilarated.Since the battle on the Monroe family yacht, he had been recovering for two months and hadn't had a proper fight since returning. "Bring it on!" Frederick roared. He moved like a tiger amongst sheep, displaying extraordinary power.His fingers slashed down like claws, and the thugs were no match f
"Perhaps only a woman as beautiful and accomplished as Priscilla could be worthy of Frederick," Olivia mused.Frederick was taken aback, surprised that Olivia had pleaded for Mitchell because of him.Olivia said softly, "I don't want your relationship with your ex-wife to suffer because of me."Frederick chuckled at Olivia's reasoning. "My relationship with her is already beyond repair; it can't get any worse. Besides, Mitchell deserved a lesson for trying to hurt you."Hearing this, Olivia felt a warmth in her heart. She then said in a low voice, "You still care about your ex-wife."Frederick paused, caught off guard. "What makes you say that?""I can just tell," Olivia replied with a gentle shake of her head.Frederick shook his head in amusement, unable to decipher Olivia's thoughts. He decided it was time to take her home.On the way, Olivia inquired about his marriage, discovering he had been divorced for just over two months. She felt a sense of relief, thinking that with
Seeing Frederick's serious expression, Ivy knew his words held weight. She couldn't help but admire him; obtaining such damning footage from Pegasus Industries must have been incredibly dangerous.Her mind raced. "Priscilla was in charge of this project. Could she be the one leaking information? She always seemed so guileless, but appearances can be deceiving..." Despite her dislike for Grace and her reservations about Priscilla's tendency to form cliques within the company, Ivy had always trusted Priscilla's integrity and work ethic. Frederick frowned, clearly reluctant to believe Priscilla was involved.He explained, "I can confirm Mitchell Miller's involvement, but I'm not so sure about Priscilla."Ivy's eyes narrowed. She then dialed the police without hesitation. The company's substantial losses made this a serious criminal matter, and with concrete evidence in hand, reporting it was the only responsible course of action. Frederick didn't try to stop her. Earlier, he ha
"Frederick even threw my friends at Pegasus Industries out of the window! I barely escaped with my life," Mitchell said."Pris, do you believe me?" Mitchell glanced anxiously at Priscilla, remembering how weak Frederick had once seemed. He worried Priscilla wouldn't buy such an outlandish story.But it was the absolute truth!To his surprise, Priscilla nodded softly, tears streaming down her face. "I believe you completely."Whether it was Frederick's alleged infidelity or his ruthless actions, Priscilla believed it all. She had witnessed him with Vivianne and Scarlett, and his ambiguous relationship with June only solidified her opinion of him as a womanizer. As for his ruthlessness, she had seen it firsthand—how he had manhandled the security guards at Sky Garden and brutally gouged out Nelson's eye on the cruise. With these events fresh in her mind, she trusted every word Mitchell said.Upon hearing this, Marianne flew into a rage. "Frederick has crossed the line by beating m
Marianne, blind to reason and consumed by maternal instinct, didn't care if Mitchell was guilty or not. Her sole focus was preventing the police from taking him away."Don't worry, Mitch. Mom won't let anyone hurt you."Seeing this, the two officers frowned and prepared to use force. They moved past Marianne, flanking Mitchell, ready to seize him. As they reached for Mitchell, Marianne lunged forward and wrapped her arms tightly around one officer. She screamed, "Mitch, run!"Mitchell sprinted for the door. The other officer tried to give chase, but Marianne released her grip on the first officer and clung to the second one's leg, biting down hard. The officer winced in pain but refrained from kicking Marianne due to her age. He and his partner pulled her away, creating an opening for Mitchell to bolt through the door.With Marianne arrested for obstruction of justice, Priscilla and Grace were left in a state of shock and panic. Grace was beside herself, "How could this happe
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
