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
Marsh had been fooled completely as he listened to Lynara's words and felt a warm feeling in his heart.A thug was willing to give him a discount of 200 thousand dollars and help him get his revenge after seeing that he had been bullied by someone.Marsh immediately felt like he had met someone who could understand him. His eyes turned red as he hugged Lynara. "Mr. Wildclaw, you're such a nice man."Then, Marsh gave him a small summary of what had happened and his revenge plan for Frederick and Grace.Lynara's brain began to spin as he listened to Marsh's story. It turned out that Marsh was a manager of a big company. Didn't that mean he could continue getting money from Marsh if Marsh could return to his original position as a team leader?After all, hiring a group of thugs to beat someone up was not a glorious thing, and thugs like him weren't afraid of exposing the truth, nor were they scared of going to prison.But an office worker like Marsh would be terrified at the prosp
On the other end, Anya had some other plans in mind and was currently giving Ivy her orders.Inside the director's office, Ivy was currently on the phone with Anya as she listened to Anya's wishes."I had another motive for tonight's celebratory party. I didn't approve it just to reward Frederick for becoming the new leader. "I did it because I hope you'll be able to settle the bad blood between Team One and Team Two. After all, the leader of Team One personally captured the brother of Team Two's leader. "I'm sure both teams are at odds with each other. Priscilla must hate the new leader. But I don't wish to see the relationship between the two teams worsening as they bring their own grudges to the company. "From how I see it, Frederick and Priscilla are capable people. Currently, headquarters and the subsidiary companies haven't been doing well lately. So, we really need Frederick and Priscilla to stay in the company."Ivy couldn't help but frown when she heard Anya's words.
