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
Frederick knew about the burden Scarlett was carrying. However, it would not be easy for her to take over and restore the glory Drake once had over Jenaire City by herself.He also knew that he could not treat Scarlett as a normal friend after seeing her willingly risk her life just to save him."I can help you!"Scarlett smiled after hearing Frederick's words and knew that he was indeed capable.But she also knew that his abilities were still slightly lacking and did not want him to carry on such a heavy burden with her.She said, "Sure. I'll wait for you to take over the city with me."Only then did Frederick leave the mansion in satisfaction as he still had to return to Timbergale Corporation.After all, he had just been promoted to the team leader and did not want to be late to the office after lunch break. He didn't want to give people the illusion that he held the same work ethic as Marsh.Scarlett stood by the mansion's window as she watched Frederick leave hurriedly to
Frederick returned to the company and had planned to send the ointment to Nicole after work.But then he read through the group chat and realized that Ivy had planned a party to celebrate his promotion.Since the party was held in his honor, he couldn't skip it either. So, he could only call Nicole and ask her to come over to collect her ointment.The allergic reaction on Nicole's face was too severe, so she could not leave the house. She could only tell him that she'd send Ursara over to collect her ointment and that Ursara would call him later.Frederick couldn't help but laugh when he recalled Ursara's reckless behavior as well as the whole misunderstanding regarding Tigris' death after hearing Ursara's name.At the same time in Team Two's office, Priscilla was furious at Frederick for framing Mitchell. Now, Mitchell was forced to be on the run while her mother had been apprehended by the police.In addition, she still had to attend Frederick's celebratory party. How could t
"Yes, that's me."The thug sized him up before nodding. "Follow me."Then, he brought Marsh inside the cyber cafe.If Frederick were here, he would probably find the situation amusing if he saw those thugs.It just so happened that Marsh had found Lynara's gang. It was the gang that had tailed Frederick. But after falling into Frederick's trap, they ended up starting a brawl with Mitchell.Lynara immediately noticed Marsh's bruised face. Then, he looked at Marsh's anxious and worried appearance as well as the stack of money in his bag.He could tell that Marsh wasn't from the underworld. Those people who weren't from the underworld were easy to trick.So, he put up his scary front. He sat on the chair and took a deep breath of his cigarette. Then, he threw the cigarette bud on the floor and stomped on it.Then, he exhaled a puff of smoke. His tone was impassive as he asked knowingly, "So, you're the one who wanted to meet me. What do you want?"Marsh had never experienced nor
