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
The next day, chaos erupted at the Timbergale Corporation's branch office.Priscilla and Grace stormed into Ivy's office, their anger palpable. Ivy had anticipated their confrontation, but she had a clear conscience and wasn't afraid of their questions. Grace launched the attack as she demanded, "Ivy, on what grounds did you accuse Mitchell of embezzlement?"Ivy shook her head helplessly. "On what grounds? On the grounds that he committed a crime, brought in so many fake medicinal herbs, and caused such a huge loss for the company."Priscilla refused to believe Mitchell was responsible. "What evidence do you have that my brother did this? Show us if you have any!"Grace chimed in, "Yes, show us the evidence!"Ivy merely smiled faintly. "I've handed all the evidence over to the police. If you want to see it, go to them. How dare you two have the nerve to question me?"If it weren't for your constant enabling, Mitchell wouldn't have had the opportunity to do this. You're the on
Priscilla and Grace stormed out of Ivy's office, their fury barely contained.However, once they were alone, Priscilla's anger gave way to despair. With Mitchell on the run and Marianne arrested, she felt utterly lost.She cried, "This is all my fault. Ivy framed Mitch out of jealousy of me. What are we going to do?"After a moment of thought, Grace offered a solution. "Well, at least Mitch hasn't been caught yet. We need to investigate what really happened. Wait! My classmate Lily is a detective now. Maybe she can help us." Priscilla hesitated, recalling the journalist who had lost her job trying to help them. "But she lost her job because of us last time. Will she really help us again?"Grace was confident. "She will. Lily is incredibly just and fair. Besides, it wasn't our fault she lost her job. It was all Frederick's doing. I'm sure she wants revenge on him as much as we do." Priscilla agreed. After all, what could they uncover on their own? Lily would be far more capable
Lily's revelation that Frederick worked for Pegasus Industries left Priscilla and Grace stunned."How can you be sure?" Priscilla pressed, urgency in her voice.Lily nodded firmly. "I've suspected Pegasus Industries for a while now. Yesterday, I went to investigate and caught them red-handedly processing discarded herbs. I started filming, and guess who I saw?"Intrigued, Priscilla and Grace leaned in. "Who?" Lily slammed her hand on the table. "Frederick York! He was wearing their uniform, working right there in that shady operation!"Priscilla gasped, hand flying to her mouth. The idea of Frederick working for Pegasus Industries was inconceivable."Do you still have the footage?" Grace asked excitedly. "Is Frederick in it? We could take it to the police and prove Mitchell was framed!"Lily's face fell as she slammed her coffee cup down, spilling its contents. "He stole the memory card. Not only that, he also..."Grace frowned, noticing Lily's flushed cheeks. "What else did h
If Lily wasn't able to help with the investigation, there was nothing else they could do. Suddenly, she changed the topic and mysteriously said, "Although I can't do anything about it, I can get my detective teacher to help. My teacher, Ms. Tennyson, loves complicated situations like this the most. "She's great at what she does. She even managed to crack a lot of cases that not even the police could solve! Ms. Tennyson taught me everything I knew. I'm sure she'll be able to get to the bottom of this if she looks into it."After hearing what she said, the two gloomy people became excited. If Lily's teacher, Miranda Tennyson, could crack cases that not even the police could solve, that would prove how capable she was. Investigating Frederick would be a piece of cake for her.So, Grace quickly said, "In that case, please get Ms. Tennyson to help us quickly."At that moment, Priscilla believed in the teacher that Lily was talking about. She asked, "I'm sure a great detective like her
"If she does it again in the future, I'll talk to her."Anya knew how Priscilla felt at that moment. When she was still studying, her brother, Jerry Romero, would get into trouble. She didn't believe it at first and would even fight others about it. Then, the truth was revealed one day, and that made her deeply disappointed in him.That was why she was willing to give Priscilla a chance.At that moment, Anya thought of something important. "By the way, that new employee sure is capable. Did you give him a reward?"Ivy thought about it and realized she still hadn't rewarded Frederick in any way. After all, he did help the company solve something major. So, it would be unreasonable of them not to reward him at all!Ivy pondered and couldn't think of a great way to reward him.Suddenly, Anya suggested, "Isn't Marsh from your team an incapable guy? Let's let the new guy lead the team. That should be enough to reward him. Then, we can transfer him to my side in the future so that I ca
When Marsh returned to Team One, he thought about how he should cause some trouble for Frederick. Then, he saw a group of ladies surrounding the latter's seat and chattering pleasantly.When he saw that, he was even more furious. Marsh had always liked messing around with women, and he had fantasized about those women before. No matter how many times he had tried, he could never get any of them.Frederick had just entered the company, and they were already fawning over him. There was no way Marsh wouldn't be angry and jealous about it.He angrily approached Frederick and scolded the latter. "Chattering during work hours, are we? Have you done your work yet, Frederick?"Frederick had already found out the previous day that Marsh had teamed up with the Millers to frame Olivia. So, he was really disgusted by Marsh.He gently tapped on his computer and opened a file. That was the work he had been assigned with. Marsh didn't expect Frederick to finish it already. Usually, all the other
