Grace was instantly anxious when she saw the women of Team One standing in front of Frederick. If they were all going to help him drink, it would be hard for her to get him drunk."What… What are you guys doing?"The women from Team One couldn't take it anymore after watching Team Two's members trying to get Frederick drunk. So, they all came out to help him. After all, he was their team leader. He also treated them well and shared the reward with them on his first day of work.That was why they couldn't let it slide when they saw Team Two ganging up on Frederick."What? Since you're all trying to get our team leader drunk, we'll be helping him with the drinks.""That's right. You guys want to drink, right? Join us if you dare!"The people from Team Two were furious when they saw what was going on. Since the team was full of men, they had always been more domineering.There were only two women on their team, which were Priscilla and Grace. However, they were both out of the men'
Was Frederick planning on drinking with every single person on the opposite team and finishing all the liquor in front of him? They thought it was impossible.Grace pursed her lips in disdain from the side. She thought he was bluffing and was confident she could mess with him badly that day.Melissa, who was drinking with Priscilla, quickly stood in front of him after seeing how everyone was making him drink."Grace, do you think you're so great for making Frederick drink nonstop? Let me take a quick toilet break, and I'll show you what's great after I come back and start drinking!"As she spoke, she burped a little. Since she had drunk a few bottles herself, she felt the need to visit the restroom a little.When Grace heard what Melissa said, she suddenly got excited and stopped the latter. "We all agreed no one could go to the toilet. If you go, you'll be admitting defeat and won't be able to help him drink anymore. Also, we'll only let you go after you bark like a dog."When e
When Grace heard Frederick's sarcastic words, her face fell. She was also secretly amazed by his impressive alcohol tolerance at the same time. It finally made sense to her why he would dare to drink with everyone.However, she was the one who made it a rule. Now that Frederick was being sarcastic about it, she really couldn't just let it slide.She glared at Michael and angrily said, "He's giving you a toast, so drink now. Are you going to make him think that my words mean nothing?"When Michael heard what she said, he was afraid of her being angry. So, he bit the bullet and poured the drink into his mouth with his eyes shut.After forcing himself to drink two gulps, he couldn't endure the burning sensation in his throat anymore. In the end, he spat out more than half of the glass' worth of liquor. He didn't care about the people watching him anymore as he heaved at the side.Frederick smiled when he saw how Michael was acting. Then, he looked toward the people from Team Two. The
When Roger heard that, his eyes lit up. Even if he couldn't get Frederick drunk, Grace had promised to be his girlfriend. He figured it was a great deal and instantly became excited again. As long as he didn't die, he would keep drinking and challenge Frederick.When Grace saw how excited he was again, she stood forward with him. "Mr. York, since I can't drink liquor, I'll just drink some wine instead. Roger, you like liquor, right? You should drink some with Mr. York."She figured there was no way Frederick wouldn't get drunk after drinking three types of alcohol that day.When Roger heard what she had said, he quickly nodded. He wasn't afraid of mixing alcohol anymore because he would still win her regardless of the outcome. If worse came to worst, he would just have to visit the hospital the next day.Of course, Frederick knew what she was up to. However, he wasn't afraid at all. Instead, he just said with a smile, "Sure!"Soon, they started drinking again. The crowd watched in
Suddenly, Grace could feel her stomach churning as well. She wanted to throw up in the toilet, but Frederick stopped her. "Didn't you say we couldn't go to the toilet unless we barked like a dog?"She tried her best to think of a solution when she heard that. She couldn't hold it in anymore. She looked at Roger, who was still coughing blood on the ground, and she thought of an idea."He's not going to make it. Aren't you going to save him with your medical expertise? If you keep stopping me, we're going to waste time. He's going to die at this rate!"Although she never believed in his medical skills, she knew he was softhearted. Seeing the state Roger was in, she figured Frederick would definitely try to save him.When Roger heard what she had said, he furiously pointed at her with a trembling finger. He weakly opened his mouth to say something, but he started coughing blood nonstop again.As expected, when Frederick saw that, he couldn't ignore it anymore. Although Roger was Grac
When Ivy heard they wouldn't drink anymore, she started considering the idea. She figured what happened earlier wouldn't repeat itself if they stopped drinking."Alright. In that case, let's stop drinking!" she said after taking a deep breath. She was actually worrying too much. After all, who else was going to drink anymore?When Marsh heard her agreeing with him, he let out a breath of relief! He figured the remaining time would be enough for Lynara to get there.Their plan was simple. Lynara would arrive with his men later to cause a scene. They would pretend not to know Marsh at all. Then, they would start beating up Frederick until he had to stay in the hospital for a few months. They would also slap Grace a few times as well while they were at it.As they caused a great scene at the party, the crowd wouldn't be able to do anything about it. Then, Marsh would stand out to resolve the issue.That way, he would be able to kill three birds with one stone. First, he could punish
"That damned Roger… Why did he act tough when he can't drink as much as Frederick? If he dies from alcohol poisoning, he deserves it. It's even better if he ends up like his father and grandfather!"After Grace and the rest relieved themselves in the toilet, they walked back to the room.Before she arrived at the room, everyone inside could hear her cursing at Roger. They couldn't help frowning as they all knew those two were working together to get Frederick drunk. Now, Roger was in danger, but she was still scolding him. Even the people close to Frederick couldn't take it anymore.Since Frederick had great hearing, he could hear her especially well.After Grace entered the room, she didn't notice the angry gazes everyone had on her. Instead, she walked straight to her seat. Everything she did that day disgusted Frederick. She was the cause of everything that happened that day, and he decided to punish her for what she had done.Frederick stood up and coldly said to Grace, "Ms. A
Grace felt upset when the others didn't follow her rules, but she didn't even follow her own rules. She was the root of this entire problem.However, as the director, Ivy couldn't possibly let her colleagues bark like a dog. Everything she said or did would reflect the company's image, so she had to be careful with what she said.Otherwise, Timbergale Corporation's director making their employees bark would definitely cause a storm if the news got out. Grace was sure about it, and that was why she decided to get Ivy's opinion on the matter.Ivy could only sigh helplessly, thinking how smart Grace was. "There's no way we're making our employees at Timbergale Corporation bark like a dog. So, let's just drop it."When Grace heard that, she smiled and looked at Melissa with a satisfied, provoking gaze.Melissa was infuriated at that moment. She pointed at Grace and the rest of Team Two and said, "You're a bunch of shameless trash!"The angrier she was, the more pleased Grace felt. "D
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
