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
The company was teetering on the edge of bankruptcy, and he was her supposed fiancé?The mere sight of Frederick ignited Anya's fury.Frederick rubbed his nose helplessly. He hadn't even had time to take a breath, let alone do anything to upset her.If he could anger people to the point of satiety, he could solve world hunger.Watching the scene unfold, Fiona giggled behind her hand.Frederick caught Fiona's amusement. He narrowed his eyes, a silent promise of payback forming in his mind.Noticing Frederick's look, Fiona guessed his intention.She shot him a fierce glare before lifting her chin in defiance, showing no fear whatsoever.Frederick returned the glare.Their silent exchange did not escape Anya's notice, further fueling her anger. Frederick was completely useless. He was only good for causing trouble with her cousin. She regretted ever agreeing to her father's terms.Her rage boiling over, Anya grabbed a cushion from the sofa and hurled it at Frederick."Stop gl
Upon entering her room, Anya resumed her contemplation of the company's problems.Just then, her phone rang.Seeing Ivy's name, she quickly answered. Ivy rarely called at this hour unless it was work-related.After answering the call, Ivy delivered exhilarating news."Anya, we found the company mole! Everything makes sense now."Anya's worried expression instantly vanished, replaced by a bright smile. The recent complaints from cosmetic users experiencing adverse reactions had been a major source of stress for her.She had been unsure how to resolve the issue, so the discovery of the mole was a massive relief. Now they could simply pursue legal action and hold the culprit accountable."How did you find out?" Anya asked eagerly.Ivy recounted the events, and Anya listened with astonishment, her mouth agape. She never imagined that their partner, Pegasus Industries, was actually a black market operation. Upon learning that a newcomer was responsible for this discovery, Anya cou
