The crowd immediately burst out into laughter when they heard Melissa's words. Melissa was indeed cruel with her words. She was clearly mocking Roger for not acting like a man.Roger was so angry that his face turned red, but he couldn't seem to think of a way out of the situation.If he agreed to drink with Melissa, he would not be able to get Frederick drunk. But if he declined Melissa's offer to drink with her, he was basically admitting that he wasn't a man.At that moment, Roger was at a loss for what to do.Suddenly, a clear voice rang out. "I'll drink with you!"The crowd looked in the direction of the voice and was shocked. They didn't expect the usually cold and indifferent Priscilla to be the one behind those words.No one had expected such a turn of events. They were stunned that Priscilla would take the initiative to say that she wanted to drink with Melissa. After all, she always ignored everyone other than Grace.Even Grace was shocked by Priscilla's outburst!Und
The crowd was left in shock as they did not expect Melissa to know how to do a vortex.After that, the two women began to battle as they continued drinking.Grace quickly poked Roger's waist, reminding him to quickly get Frederick drunk. After all, Priscilla had already helped to distract Melissa.Roger quickly understood and went to take two bottles of beer. He handed one to Frederick and said, "Mr. York, the women are already doing vortexes. As men, we can't fall behind."Frederick took the bottle from Roger. They both clunked their bottles before downing them.But unexpectedly, Roger brought two bottles over once Frederick had put down his bottle. He said, "Mr. York, let's continue."Seeing the scene before them, a number of people began to frown. No one would down bottles of beer continuously like that.Roger's intentions of getting Frederick drunk were too obvious.Even Melissa and Priscilla had gone back to using glasses after downing a vortex. That was what normal drinki
After Roger and Frederick had downed multiple bottles, Roger was beginning to feel worried.He had originally assumed that Frederick had a low alcohol tolerance, and he would be able to get him drunk easily. But seeing as how things were progressing, his original assumption had been wrong.Even though he had always believed that he had a high alcohol tolerance, Roger couldn't help but feel his stomach churn after drinking so much beer in such a short time.His brain was also beginning to turn fuzzy, and his legs were beginning to sway. It was clear he was beginning to get drunk.He never thought he would meet someone who could match his alcohol tolerance today.Despite his frustration, he continued to drink with Frederick through gritted teeth, in hopes of getting an opportunity to date Grace.Roger could already feel the alcohol at the edge of his throat after that last bottle. If it weren't for his years of experience in drinking, he would have vomited his guts out right there.
Everyone was there to enjoy the show and they did not have the urge to pee as they did not drink continuously like how Roger did. So, they quickly nodded their heads."That's right. Our team has always upheld that rule whenever we went drinking.""No one would be allowed to go to the bathroom whenever we started drinking. If they insisted on going to the bathroom, they'd have to bark like a dog three times."Michael Dawson had been the one to utter that last sentence. Known for his sinister nature, Michael quickly seized the opportunity as soon as he sensed one coming.Grace immediately brightened when she heard Michael's words. That was such a smart thing to say.That way Frederick would have to bark like a dog in public if he wanted to use the toilet. He'd only be able to hold his pee in and slip up if he didn't want to bark.They were being too much. Be it for her personal reasons or because she wanted to maintain some order within the party, Ivy could not sit still and not do
Grace was infuriated after hearing Roger's words and witnessing his performance. How could he even have the audacity to say that he came from a long line of drinkers? Frederick wasn't even drunk, yet Roger couldn't drink anymore.No wonder, his family all drank till their deaths! They deserved it!"Roger, you're a useless bastard!" Roger felt wronged as he listened to Grace's cruel words. If he was allowed to go to the bathroom, he could probably drink a bit more.Although it seemed like Grace and Michael were digging a hole for Frederick, they were just digging a hole for him!At that moment, Michael smiled and stood up. Ever since Roger had said that they should all work together to get Frederick drunk as well as Grace and Roger's intimate behavior after calling him to get into Priscilla's car, Michael had deduced Grace's plan.He was sure Grace wanted to avenge Mitchell. So, she'd asked Roger to get Frederick drunk, promising to be his girlfriend in return.One had to ad
When Michael said that, Ivy's face fell. Anyone who knew how to drink would know how potent it was to mix beer and liquor. It would easily make a person drunk.Since Frederick had just drunk so much beer, he would instantly get drunk if he drank liquor now! Ivy wanted to tell him about it, but Grace was watching her closely. She knew if she said anything, Grace would stop her with some domineering words.As the director, she didn't need to be afraid of what Grace would say at all. However, the company was in chaos at that moment. She really wanted to keep Grace and Priscilla in check and prevent them from making a scene.Anya was part of the reason why she was hesitating. Ivy was told to solve the conflict at the company herself, and she really didn't want to disappoint Anya. So, she had no choice but to feel antsy at the side.At that moment, Grace secretly gave Michael a thumbs up. She had to admit that he was smart for thinking about mixing the alcohol. She also believed that Fr
When Michael saw that, he was shocked. He couldn't believe Frederick was still able to finish a whole glass of liquor in one shot after drinking so much beer.After Frederick was done drinking, he placed a glass of liquor in front of Michael and said with a smile, "It's your turn!"Michael gulped slightly as he looked at the liquor in front of him. Although he hadn't drunk a single drop of alcohol yet, he wasn't good enough to drink such a glass of liquor right away!Grace could tell he was hesitating, and she softly said, "Don't worry. He has drunk so much so far, and I'm sure he's almost at his limit. He probably just wants to scare you with his actions. Just think about it. How could Frederick possibly not be drunk when even Roger couldn't handle it with his tolerance?"Just drink it through gritted teeth like it's some kind of poison and swallow it right away. Then, you'll get through it."Michael looked back at Roger. The latter had his hand on his crotch as he held back his
"What do you mean by shameless?"Priscilla stood behind the people from Team Two. Not only did they not feel sorry when Melissa exposed what they were doing, but they were actually feeling angry. They all glared at her like she was accusing them of something they didn't do.When she heard what Priscilla said, she smiled. "You're shameless for ganging up and picking on a single person! What's wrong? Are you afraid of admitting what you're doing?"Priscilla was so angry that her face turned red. She did tell Grace to get someone to make Frederick drunk. However, she only did that because she thought Frederick and Ivy had set Mitchell up.She thought Frederick was the one being shameless there. However, she couldn't say what was on her mind. So, she had no choice but to let Melissa accuse her.Although Priscilla wasn't a big shot anymore, most people still wouldn't dare to offend her after she came to Timbergale Corporation. No one would talk to her like that. She gritted her teeth a
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
