Since the restroom was between Team One and Team Two's offices, they would usually meet there in private. Melissa even had heard about the two of them doing it in the restroom before.When Marsh arrived at the restroom, he looked in the mirror and saw how swollen his face was. He didn't want Grace to see how miserable he looked, so he cooled his face down with some clean water. He hoped it could make his face less swollen.At that moment, Grace arrived at the restroom as well. She immediately recognized him from behind as he washed his face. She slowly hugged him from behind and said coyly, "I knew you were the best, darling."Since he had asked to meet her in the restroom, she thought he had dealt with Frederick.When Marsh felt her soft body and heard her voice, he immediately felt aggrieved. He turned around and hugged her so tightly that he could smell her makeup."You're the best, Gracey. I've missed you so much."Although she felt uncomfortable when she came in contact with
Grace was stunned when she found out that Frederick had beaten Marsh into a pulp. That explained why Marsh's face looked like a swollen pig! It was all because of Frederick!Suddenly, she thought of something and said happily, "How dare he beat you up? According to the company rules, he has to be fired for that. This is great news! Look for Ivy now and get her to fire him. We can finally chase that annoying bastard out!"When he heard that, he became even more furious. "Ivy, that bitch… She's in cahoots with him. Not only did she not fire him, she even demoted me and promoted him! He's now the team leader, and I'm second in command!"When Grace heard that, her face darkened a lot, and she couldn't believe what had happened. Now that Frederick was the team leader, she had no use for Marsh anymore.However, Marsh didn't notice the change in her emotions. Instead, he carefully looked around him and said, "Gracey, now that Frederick is the team leader, I can't be out here for too long.
"How could he become a team leader when he has just joined the company? Ivy is clearly being biased toward him."Priscilla only became a team leader because Timbergale Corporation bought her company. The entirety of Team Two consisted of her former employees. So, it was only reasonable for her to be the team leader!As for Frederick, he was only there for less than a week, and he was already a team leader!Priscilla had always thought of herself as a strong and independent woman. Meanwhile, Frederick was a boring and average man in her eyes. She couldn't accept it now that he was in the same position as her.Grace quickly said in disdain, "He's just great at pleasing women. How else would he be able to do it?"At that moment, Ivy tagged every employee in the company group chat. Since there was a change in team leaders, she had to announce it as the director. Anya also told her to do that.Anya was worried some people might think it was unfair for a new joiner to be a team leader,
Priscilla quickly said when they arrived somewhere secluded, "Mitch, there's no one around me now."It turned out that the person calling her was Mitchell. He had disguised his voice earlier because he was afraid of being found out. After all, he was a fugitive at that moment.Since he had no money, he'd tried calling Marianne. However, he couldn't reach her at all. He figured she was in police custody for helping him escape.So, he had no choice but to call Priscilla for help. He was thinking about how he should hide what he had done this time. Mitchell knew Priscilla's temper well. If she learned about it, she would most likely be infuriated.Before he could say anything, she immediately said with a crying tone, "I know all about it, Mitch. Frederick has set you up. I was blind to have married him. That was why you were dragged into this. If I hadn't married him, this wouldn't have happened to you."When he heard that, he was stunned. Then, he suddenly looked over the moon. It t
"I'll definitely find a way to clear your name," Priscilla said.Mitchell quickly stuffed the money into his pockets. He sighed in relief after looking around and making sure there wasn't anyone around them.He said, "Pris, don't worry. I have a plan."Priscilla was stunned when she heard Mitchell. Frederick always had a knack for framing people. Not to mention, there was concrete evidence against him. She asked, "What's your plan?"Mitchel smirked and said faintly, "Don't worry, Pris. I do have a plan. So, you don't have to feel distress over my predicament."Grace saw the determined expression on Mitchell's face and believed that he did have a plan. So, she quickly advised Priscilla and said, "Pris, there's no need to worry. Perhaps Mitch does have a way to get out of this mess. Not to mention, we'll still help investigate the situation. "I'm sure we'll be able to clear Mitch's name."Mitchell nodded in satisfaction. He was also confident he could handle this situation prop
The previous leader of Team One, Marsh, was currently sitting dejectedly on the ground by the entrance of Timbergale Corporation.He had wanted to try fixing his relationship with Grace, but she had blocked him on WhatsApp. So, he decided to look for her during lunch hours. However, he realized she wasn't in her office and assumed that she had gone out to eat.Hence, he had planned to wait by the entrance until Grace returned, so that he could fix their relationship.After waiting for quite some time, Marsh saw Grace and Priscilla walking toward the company after bidding Mitchell goodbye.He quickly got up and exclaimed, "Gracey, you're back!"Grace had looked somewhat happy as she conversed with Priscilla. But her expression immediately fell when she saw Marsh.Although Marsh was unattractive, she had considered him as a capable man back when he was still the leader of Team One.But Marsh was only a second-in-command now and his current head was someone she hated. So after th
He never thought that his ex-lover could be so cruel toward him.Marsh looked at Grace with hatred and said, "Bitch, how dare you hit me?"Grace looked at Marsh's angry gaze and knew he was starting to get desperate. But Grace was not afraid of him.She raised her head and looked at Marsh's clenched fists. She said in disdain, "So what? Marsh, are you thinking of hitting me? Do you think I'll let you off so easily? "You have heard about our capabilities and connections within the company. You'd better be careful. Otherwise, I might even strip you of your current title as Frederick's second-in-command!"Marsh had indeed planned on giving Grace a harsh slap. But he could only release his clenched fists after hearing Grace's words.The current him did not have the guts to hit Grace as Grace and Priscilla were indeed well-connected within the company due to their abilities.He was barely surviving within his team. He would definitely be fired if Grace and Priscilla teamed up to wor
On the other hand, Frederick did not return to the company after his lunch break. Instead, he returned to the hilltop mansion.He was currently busy in the kitchen, whereas Tyger and Jacob were sitting on the sofa. The two of them looked nothing like the scary front they upheld in the underworld.Instead, they looked like two pitiful elderly men.Although Jacob couldn't see a thing at the moment, his sense of smell was much sharper than usual. He sniffed and said, "It smells like herbs. Do you think Mr. York is making some herbal medication?"Tyger's condition was slightly better in comparison to Jacob's. Scarlet had quickly brought Tyger to get his teeth replaced after receiving two million dollars from Frederick.Although his porcelain dentures were made of high-grade materials, Tyger felt weird wearing them as they were too white and shiny. But no matter what, it was better than having no teeth.Tyger looked at the kitchen and nodded. "He is making some herbal medication. But
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
