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
Fiona found Anya's behavior rather puzzling. What was Anya up to today?But as hunger gnawed at her own stomach, she remembered Frederick's delicious cooking and followed Anya downstairs.Upon reaching the bottom of the stairs, Anya called out to Frederick's room, "Frederick, hurry up and cook! I'm hungry!"Whenever she was home, Anya rarely ordered takeout, preferring Frederick's cooking. Despite his numerous flaws, his culinary skills were undeniable. He could probably have a successful career as a chef.Maybe she should help him find a job in that field.Hearing Anya's call, Frederick emerged from his room. Seeing Anya's cheerful expression, he knew she had to be in a good mood. Anya's good mood was contagious, and Frederick's spirits lifted as well.He asked cheerfully, "Sweetheart, what would you like to eat?"Fiona, who had just come downstairs, quickly chimed in, "Mac and cheese! I want mac and cheese today!"Frederick shot Fiona an irritated look. "I was asking my s
Hearing Fiona's request, Frederick protectively shielded his bowl of mac and cheese. "Switch? Why would we switch? You have your own bowl!"Seeing Frederick's guarded reaction, Fiona was even more certain of her suspicion.She said calmly, "I just want to switch with you. Hurry up." Watching them argue over mac and cheese, Anya shook her head helplessly."What's there to argue about? Fiona, I'll switch with you."Frederick's eyes widened in alarm. "Sweetheart, please don't switch with her!"Anya frowned, puzzled by Frederick's overreaction."Why are you so agitated?" Fiona's eyes narrowed. Frederick must have added something to his mac and cheese, and he was afraid she would switch with Anya and let her eat it. She smiled slyly at Frederick. "Will you switch or not? If you don't switch with me, I'll switch with Ann."Frederick was terrified. "You... Don't switch with my sweetheart."Fiona quickly pushed her bowl towards Frederick. "Then switch with me!"Reluctantly, Fred
Fiona thought to herself, "If I just swap out the sauce, this bowl won't be spicy anymore. Frederick's little trick will be easily foiled.Feeling smug about her grand plan, she quickly got to work. To be safe, she changed the sauce multiple times, ensuring no trace of spice remained.She sniffed the sauce, her appetite piqued.Then she smelled the pasta and exclaimed, "Oh my, this smells amazing! I'm about to enjoy my mac and cheese, and someone's plan will be ruined!"With a confident grin, she took a large bite. Observing their strange behavior, Anya furrowed her brow. "Frederick, what are you two up to?"Frederick shrugged helplessly and whispered, "It's nothing. I just really wanted spicy food, and I figured neither of you could handle it. "So when I made the mac and cheese, I mixed chili powder into the pasta and kept that bowl for myself. I didn't expect Fiona to love spicy food so much that she insisted on switching." The chili powder's red color wasn't obvious due t
