Chapter 491

Author: Seven Nights of Frost
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

    Seeing tears begin to gather in Olivia's eyes, Frederick was sure that those tears would stream down her cheeks if he remained quiet for another ten seconds.He couldn't stand seeing women crying, especially kind-hearted women like Olivia."Don't cry! I'm not angry at you."Hearing this, Olivia lifted her head aggrievedly and forced her tears back."Mr. York, are you telling the truth?"Frederick nodded in exasperation and patted her head. "Of course, I'm not angry. Since when have I ever gotten angry at you?"Seeing him pat her head, Olivia finally relaxed and a warm feeling spread in her heart.Due to the party being held after they got off work, everyone didn't have much motivation to finish their work. Team Two had even gotten off work in advance.Grace and Priscilla happened to be walking past Frederick's office and just so happened to see Frederick pat Olivia's head.Grace pursed her lips and said, "That scumbag never changed. He's just joined the company, yet he managed

    After getting off of work, everyone in the company remained in the office as they waited for Ivy to finish with her tasks, all except Olivia.Although the celebratory party was for Frederick, Melissa seemed much happier than Frederick was.She had even touched up her make-up. She was glowing as a group of girls surrounded her. They were all joking around and calling her "Mrs. Team Leader".However, it was obvious Melissa was happy with the nickname. Otherwise, she wouldn't have purposely dressed up for the occasion either.On the other hand, Priscilla's expression darkened as she heard the crowd in Team Two's office keep teasing Melissa and calling her "Mrs. Team Leader".Grace sneered and said, "He's just a mere team leader, yet he's already appointed someone as his work wife. "If he were to become the CEO of a big company just like how you were before, he would probably find himself a queen or something.""What he likes or who he finds has nothing to do with me."Before Ivy

    Marsh did not show his contentment on his face as he didn't want to alert anyone of his plans. He didn't want anyone to suspect him of being the mastermind behind what was about to happen at the party later, so he kept humbling himself and trying to appease Frederick.He pulled out a chair and patted the cushion symbolically before pushing it behind Frederick. "Mr. York, come and sit. You can come to me if you need me to do anything in the future. "I, Marsh Benson, am a capable man who is willing to do anything. I have an unreserved sense of respect toward you, Mr, York, is unending."Melissa's eyes widened and her jaw fell open as she watched Marsh's attitude toward Frederick.Was he still the same man who wanted to fire her and Frederick this morning?They were two completely different people!Marsh had also noticed Melissa and hurried over attentively. "Oh, my. Isn't this Mrs. Team Leader? Why are you carrying your bag yourself? Here, let me help you carry it." Seeing Mar

Grace hurriedly told Roger, "You mustn't make any mistake or slip up later."It was Roger's first time sitting in the same car as Grace, and they were currently sitting very closely. He could smell the faint fragrance of Grace's perfume. Roger immediately felt his mouth go dry. He gulped gently and said, "Don't worry, Grace. Frederick won't be able to outdrink me. I've also talked to our colleagues and convinced them to help me get Frederick drunk. "If he tries to back out, we'll mock him for being a coward. I'm sure he'll ha

    Marsh and Grace were both acting out of character.But Frederick knew that something was wrong with how strangely they were both acting. Not to mention, there was a hidden hint of cruelty within Grace's smile.While Frederick was dumbfounded by the situation, Ivy was overjoyed to see Grace take the initiative to make up with Frederick.She quickly walked up toward them and turned to Frederick. "Frederick, she's already taken the initiative to make up with you. As a man, shouldn't you be more forgiving?"Frederick sighed in exasperation. It was clear Ivy had no clue as to what was going on.But there were currently too many eyes on them now; he would look petty if he chose to remain quiet. So, he could only give Grace a small smile and say, "Alright. Since you've agreed to let bygones be bygones, then we shall let that be so."After that, he turned to the stairs and made his way up.Marsh was still standing by the entrance. He looked at Grace's back and spat silently, "Bitch, h

    Everyone was stunned to see Priscilla standing up so suddenly.But then they quickly remembered that Mitchell was Priscilla's brother. No one would be happy to see their brother being discussed like that in public.A number of people in Team Two had also forgotten Priscilla and Mitchell's relationship.That was because Mitchell rarely came to work and would only stop by the office to collect his payslip. Hence, everyone only remembered his existence and had forgotten his relationship with Priscilla.Seeing Priscilla stand up suddenly, Ivy thought Priscilla would argue with her just like how she did in her office some time ago.In truth, Ivy had only planned to assure everyone. After all, it would be hard for her to lead a team full of unmotivated workers.After taking Priscilla's feelings into consideration, she had avoided mentioning Mitchell's name. But she did not expect everyone to start discussing the situation the second she finished her sentence.Grace knew Priscilla had

    Ivy refilled her cup and quickly raised it again. "Everyone, calm down. I have a suggestion. Why don't we let the leaders of Team One and Team Two have a drink together? "That way, the two of them would be able to work together and help each other in times of need. Does everybody agree with my suggestion?"Ivy had planned to use this opportunity to let them make up with each other. She was afraid that they would be too prideful and disagree with her suggestion, so she had asked the people around her to help encourage them.Everyone in the crowd was clueless about the history between Frederick and Priscilla. So, when they heard Ivy's suggestion for them to drink, they immediately became excited."Drink! Drink! Drink!"…Hearing the crowd began to chant, Frederick felt a sense of indignation. How could Priscilla ever agree to exchange toasts with him?On the other hand, Priscilla was taken back to a scene from three years ago when she heard the others chanting.Three years ago,

    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
