"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
"You should have told me so that I could stay home and attend to you."Frederick was filled with exasperation as he listened to her words. He said, "I'll come by more often, alright?"Scarlett looked flattered as she said, "I wouldn't dare to ask that of you. It's my honor for you to come to a humble abode to visit me after so long. I think you shouldn't waste your time here. You should just spend that time to accompany your wife instead."She was talking as if she was some humble servant and he was some almighty king. Tyger and Jacob couldn't help but shake their heads in amusement when they heard her words.Scarlett was usually a cold and ruthless woman, yet she seemed to have changed into another person when talking to Frederick.Jacob and Tyger were experienced men as they had reached a certain age. They understood the need to give Frederick and Scarlett some space, so they got up and returned to their rooms simultaneously. Although Jacob had lived in the mansion for a long
Scarlett had been teasing him when she'd asked him how she was in comparison to Anya. But she never expected Frederick to remain quiet for so long.Scarlett seemed to have thought of something and gave him a small smile. "Oh, my God. Mr. York, don't tell me you haven't slept with Anya despite living with her for so long now."Frederick's face immediately turned red after he heard Scarlett's words. He knew she would end up guessing the truth!He quickly changed the topic and asked, "Why weren't you home just now? You look exhausted too. Haven't you been sleeping well lately?"As a miracle doctor, he noticed her bloodshot eyes and the dark circles around her eyes. He could also tell that her body seemed overly exhausted lately.Suddenly, he saw the bruises on her hands. The bruises weren't littered around her arm but near the knuckles of her hands.In a normal situation, bruising would only occur in such a place after fighting someone.Frederick was slightly curious. "Did you get
