Priscilla held Frederick in contempt. She felt that he was only capable of leeching off others. Wade smirked disdainfully, despite having a face full of injuries. Not even Theodore would be qualified for a Black Dragon Card. Where would Vivianne have gotten one?As for why Frederick had it, Tyger was a thug at heart. How would a rich trust fund boy like Wade be able to understand him? Wade's phone rang all of a sudden. He saw the caller ID. It was his father, Manfred Zahler. Wade shuddered, and he felt a sense of foreboding. However, he had no choice but to pick up.The moment he picked up the phone, there was an angry roar from the other end of the line. "You wastrel! How could you offend the Sky Garden? Now everyone in society knows that we've been blacklisted by the Sky Garden."I'm supposed to have lunch with two clients at the Sky Garden tomorrow! You've completely shamed our family!"Get back here right now! I'm going to flay you alive!"Wade was terrified. He said g
That night, Frederick was practicing his boxing techniques alone in the courtyard of his mansion.Although he and Priscilla were divorced, what she had said that day about wishing that she had married Wade instead had really gotten to Frederick. He was unable to sleep as a result, and the only thing he could do was practice boxing to vent his anger.After he had finished one set, he was sweating all over, and he sighed. There was the tinkling sound of laughter from outside. "Are you lonely after your divorce? Are you boxing here because you have nowhere to vent all that masculine energy?"Frederick looked in the direction of the voice and saw that Scarlett was standing at the entrance to the villa, wearing a red dress. Frederick remembered that he hadn't told Scarlett his address. She must have found her way here because she had investigated him.After all, anyone who was even slightly capable would have been able to find out about his comings and goings in Jenaire City over th
Scarlett smiled slightly. "Let's go, Freddie. If I don't get drunk, you'll never get a chance!"Frederick was frustrated, so the idea of getting a drink appealed to him. Scarlett drove both of them to a bar called Phantom. The moment they entered, they were greeted with a loud roar of music. It created a sharp contrast with how quiet it was outside. On the dance floor of the bar, the crowd was swaying to the music. They were relieving the pressure of the day, and they all seemed to be filled with youthful energy. Scarlett was wearing a red dress, and she looked so feminine and seductive that she immediately became the focus of attention the moment she entered the dimly lit bar. The men looked at her like hungry wolves, and their eyes seemed to glitter wildly under the dim lights.Scarlett had an amazing figure, and she knew exactly how to be sexy. It was clear that she was irresistible to men!Scarlett was not at all put off by the intense stares from the men around them
Frederick gulped down the rest of the cocktail with difficulty.Then he turned to the bartender, his entire face twisted into a grimace. "This is so hard to swallow. It's like drinking water. It's so different from what I had in Motheca. Get me three more glasses, and make it three times stronger."Frederick had lived in Motheca for a long time, and while he was there he had become accustomed to drinking the strongest of liquors. It was definitely much stronger than the Flaming Sex he had just had. Scarlett also downed her Bloody Mary. She had a high tolerance for alcohol, and she followed Frederick's lead. "Get me three more Bloody Marys, and make them three times stronger!"The two of them exchanged glances and burst into laughter. The distance between them seemed to have shrunk with just one drink.The bartender swallowed in shock as he looked at the two of them.He could tell that neither Frederick nor Scarlett was trying to act tough. They just had a high alcohol toleranc
Scarlett saw the look in Frederick's eyes changing, and she smiled. She was about to speak when a fight broke out next to them. A tipsy, conservatively dressed young woman was being harassed by a bunch of thugs.Scarlett sighed when she saw this. The young lady was obviously a bookish student. She must have come here either because she wasn't doing well academically, or had been unlucky in love.Young women didn't know how treacherous the world could be. Coming here alone was like sending a lamb into a wolf's den.Yet another flower-like young woman would be ruined tonight.The woman retained the last vestiges of her rationality, and she struggled desperately. "Go away. I don't know you. I miss my brother-in-law. He and my sister got divorced. I want to see my brother-in-law." She began sobbing.The thug in the lead laughed and pulled the drunk woman outside."Come on hottie! Since you're so pretty, your sister must be good-looking too."Once we're done with you tonight, int
"Do you want to die?" Frederick punched Jed. Jed felt intense pain. It was as if he had been hit by a hammer. As he clutched his face, howling, Frederick grabbed his hair ruthlessly and slammed his head down on the corner of a neighboring table. There was a humongous clang. Jed felt his world spinning, and he fell lifelessly to the ground. The crowd was shocked at what had just happened!Who was this person? Why was he so aggressive?Frederick ignored the crowd and pulled the young woman back from Jed. He shook her continuously, calling out her name. "Wake up, June! Why aren't you at school? Why did you come to the bar and drink so much?"The young woman was Priscilla's younger sister. June was different from the rest of the Millers. She had never looked down on Frederick, and she had worshiped him since she met him three years ago, when she had started high school. She thought Frederick was polite and gentlemanly, and she was very close to him. June was completely d
Rex was startled. He had never met someone arrogant enough to insult him on his own territory. "Dammit, do you think that you can just leave after beating someone up here? If you don't give me an explanation, both you and the woman will have to stay."Frederick was very worried about June. He knew that she never drank alcohol.He was afraid that the amount of alcohol she had drunk that day would be harmful to her health.He wanted to take her away and give her a checkup, but Rex was stopping him.He had initially planned to come back the next day and settle the score with the thugs, but Rex had just delivered himself on a platter. Today Frederick would show them what happened to people who tried to target June. "You want an explanation? You can all break one of your legs, and I'll spare your wretched lives. If this happens again, I can't guarantee that you'll live."The crowd was shocked at what Frederick had said. They felt that he must be drunk.How dare he tell Rex to brea
"Stop! Who dares touch my man!" A female voice cried out. Scarlett had been sipping her drink and watching from the sidelines, but at that moment she strutted out. She was holding a bright red Bloody Mary, and she walked up to them, her hips swinging from side to side.Under the dim lighting, Scarlett looked like a bright red flame in the dark in her red dress, and it immediately caught everyone's eyes. The thugs stopped involuntarily.Rex swallowed instinctively when he saw Scarlett and her gorgeous figure. He couldn't help feeling jealous of Frederick. He already had such a beautiful woman in her arms, and now another one had appeared. Rex said ferociously, "So, another beauty has come. I'm just lucky today!"He added, "Don't hurt the beauties. I'm going to enjoy them both tonight! I'm going to have an awesome time!"The thugs waved their sticks and began to charge enthusiastically at Frederick.Scarlett blocked their path. "Why are all of you in such a rush?"She point
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
