"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.
Ivy quickly collected herself and proceeded to call Priscilla and Grace to her office.She was sincerely hoping that the branch she was managing would be able to share a portion of the burden.After seeing Priscilla and Grace arrive, she suppressed the resentment and anger she felt toward them and smiled. She said, "I believe we all have some misunderstandings between us. I also believe you two have some misunderstandings with Frederick. But I hope we'll be able to resolve our misunderstandings today."Priscilla didn't expect that Ivy would call her and Grace over to the office just to talk about this.So, Priscilla and Ivy exchanged glances as they thought about how Ivy was acting exactly like how they expected her to.Ivy and Frederick were proud of ruining the Miller family. But despite it all, Ivy still had the audacity to say such a thing to them.Weirdly enough, Ivy and Priscilla did not argue with Ivy after hearing her words. Instead, they smiled and said, "Alright, Ms.
Priscilla looked confused. "We won't be the ones doing it?"Grace smiled mysteriously. "Don't worry. I have a plan!"On the other hand, Frederick was heading over to Ivy's office hurriedly after hearing that Ivy wanted to meet him.Ivy was direct as she said, "Frederick, I know there are some grudges among you, Priscilla, and Grace because of your investigation against Mitchell."Frederick froze. He thought Ivy was looking for him due to some other issues, but he never thought it'd be about that matter.He couldn't help but smile. Priscilla and Grace's anger toward him wasn't solely because of this incident. The two of them had formed some sort of hatred toward him out of the blue about two months ago."Don't worry, Ms. Mallin. I'm not afraid of making enemies due to my job."He could only joke around and say something like that as he couldn't explain the history he had with Priscilla.But Ivy was pleased to hear Frederick's words. She said, "I'm glad you're not afraid of makin
On the other end, Priscilla and Grace had returned to Team Two's office. A member of Team Two came over and considerately handed Grace a cup of coffee."Good afternoon, Grace."Grace looked up to see the familiar face before her. His name was Roger Scott if she remembered correctly. He used to be an employee of Miller Corporation, but after the changes within the company, he followed Priscilla to Timbergale Corporation.His sales and capabilities were decent, and he looked like an average male in Jenaire City. If it weren't for the fact Roger had been working alongside her for such a long time, Grace would have forgotten his existence.Grace understood that he wasn't being kind out of the goodness of his heart.In truth, he had been working hard to earn Grace's favor, but Grace had never given him the time of the day.As a gold-digger herself, she could understand and see right through Roger's plan. He wanted to try and seduce her because she was his supervisor. Not to mention,
"But I am confident I will be able to conquer hard liquor in this life. In the end, my great-grandfather and the following few generations ended up with cerebral hemorrhages. "They had sacrificed their lives for their dreams. It's just like when mountain climbers end up falling to their demise, or how divers end up drowning."Roger's eyes shone brightly. It was as if he was talking about something great, despite the topic being about drinking liquor.Priscilla couldn't stand to listen to his words anymore. How could drinking be compared to diving and mountain climbing?He was spewing nothing but nonsense!She was just about to speak up and chase Roger away as she was in a horrible mood. But Grace immediately stopped her when she was about to open her mouth.Priscilla paused. She was confused as to what Grace was doing. If she recalled correctly, Grace would scold Roger often. But why was she treating him differently today?Grace gave Priscilla a look, and Priscilla was even mor
After Roger left, Priscilla asked worriedly. "Frederick is now a capable man. We keep losing to him."Grace smiled, looking victorious. "You've been married to Frederick for three years. Have you ever seen him drink?"Priscilla gave it some thought before shaking her head lightly. In her memories, she'd never seen him drink during their time dating and throughout their marriage. The only exception was during their wedding, and even then, he'd only had a few glasses.Grace smiled in satisfaction. "He doesn't drink because he's a lightweight. And so what if he knows how to handle his alcohol? "Didn't you hear Roger? His family drank to the point that they suffered from cerebral hemorrhages. Even if Frederick can drink, he can't out-drink someone like Roger who drinks his heart out."Priscilla nodded. That was true as Roger didn't seem like he was afraid of the consequences of overdrinking.Roger seemed to be the type to drink his life away. In addition to his family genetics, sh
