Anya was furious. "You know that Fiona is a girl. How could you scare her like that?"Anya didn't think much of it when Fiona had planned to scare Frederick as he was a man and would be fine after a small fright.She never expected Frederick to end up scaring Fiona into such a state.Frederick wanted to explain himself, but Anya was in a particularly bad mood tonight. She turned to Frederick and roared, "How unlucky could I have been to get engaged to someone like you?"With that said, Anya brought Fiona upstairs. On the other hand, Frederick watched the two women leave, feeling extremely helpless.It took Anya some time to get Fiona to sleep after bringing her upstairs.Then, she sat alone in her bed as tears streamed down her face. She had planned to manage the company properly to prove herself to her brother. But nothing seemed to be going right.The victims of the previous cosmetic product mishap were still troubling them. Today, an employee had lost their hand during a cele
"Pris, could you go and look for my boss? Tell him that I've been arrested. He promised me he'd help me."It was Priscilla's second time hearing Mitchell mention his boss.She had experienced the highs and lows that humanity had to offer. She had been a rising young entrepreneur in Jenaire City only two months ago. But when her company was facing bankruptcy, no one had been willing to offer her a helping hand. Instead, they were all thinking of ways to get a bargain when she was selling off her company's assets at a low price.After experiencing it all, Priscilla knew that people in society were cold and indifferent. Was Mitchell's so-called "boss" really willing to help him?"Mitch, would your boss really help you?"Mitchell was still immersed in the memory of Thomas' promise to help him. He had even given him two beautiful ladies in the process.Hence, Mitchell truly trusted Thomas. "Pris, I'll tell you where my boss is. All you have to do is look for him and tell him that th
However, Thomas was immediately stunned when he saw the attendant bring Priscilla and Grace into his office.As a leading figure in the underworld, it was his first time seeing such a beautiful woman as Priscilla.His attitude immediately changed as he said, "May I ask what brings the two of you here?"Priscilla quickly informed him of the purpose of their visit. "Hello. Mitchell was the one who sent me here. He said that he had been betrayed by two bitches, causing him to get arrested. He hopes that you'll be able to help him."Although Priscilla didn't know who the two bitches in question were, she still repeated what Mitchell had told her.Thomas's expression changed slightly. He never expected Mitchell to know such a beautiful lady. "May I ask what's your relationship with Mitchell?"Priscilla answered, "I'm his older sister. Mitchell told me you'd be able to help him. So, could you please help him?"Thomas narrowed his eyes after hearing that Priscilla was Mitchell's sister
Not to mention, Fiona's heart condition was acting up because he had scared her last night.Frederick quickly said, "I'll go and take a look at her condition."Anya stopped him. "What are you going up there for? She's not awake yet, so she's still in her pajamas. It's not appropriate for you to check up on her now. "There's been a lot of problems within the company recently, so I won't have time to take care of Fiona. You should come home after you get off work to look after her."Up until today, Anya still had no clue what job Frederick had found. Although she did not expect Frederick to be the breadwinner of the family, she did hope that he would be able to care for family matters.Hearing Anya's words, Frederick felt slightly embarrassed. At the end of the day, Anya's company was also his company. But he had never put in the effort to manage it.He had always trusted that Anya would be able to manage the company well. Furthermore, he didn't want Anya to know that he was the
After Anya left, Frederick returned to his room to draft his resignation letter. He had planned to hand it in to Ivy today.Throughout his time at Timbergale Corporation, Frederick had grown a liking to most of the employees in the company, especially Olivia, Melissa, and Ivy. However, he still had to prioritize his own company.After arriving at Timbergale Corporation, Frederick felt a strange atmosphere within the office. The air felt heavy and oppressive.Frederick looked around the office in confusion and realized that a few of his team members were missing from their desks.Upon seeing Frederick, Olivia immediately went up to greet him. "Mr. York, how was the party last night? Did you have fun?"Frederick rubbed his nose and smiled bitterly. Well, yesterday's party was indeed interesting to say the least.Luckily, Olivia wasn't present. Otherwise, she would probably be traumatized if she witnessed someone's arm get cut off.Olivia was oblivious to everything that had happ
Frederick was Ivy's strongest soldier. She believed that Frederick would not leave them at a time of crisis.The other employees' faces turned red after hearing Ivy's words before leaving her office hurriedly.Only then did Ivy try to regain her composure. She smiled and asked, "Frederick, why did you come to my office?"Frederick quickly kept his resignation letter inside his pocket. How could he leave right after hearing Ivy praise him so highly in front of the other employees? Ivy would probably be disheartened if he were to resign now."Oh—I just came to see if there's anything I can help with."Although his own company was facing a crisis, the crisis Timbergale seemed to be facing was slightly bigger.Frederick had planned to continue helping Ivy resolve the company's issues even after resigning and returning to his own company.After all, Ivy had treated him well throughout his time in Timbergale, so he had to do his best to repay her kindness.Ivy felt touched after hear
Frederick felt flabbergasted after hearing Ivy's explanation of the company's current situation. It was no wonder why Ivy was so troubled by the situation.It turned out that the company was facing astronomically high compensation fees to pay.If two million dollars was just a small amount to compensate for the employee's missing arm, the compensation for all the victims of the cosmetic products must be humongous.It made sense why that group of employees had handed in their resignation letters. They were afraid the company would go bankrupt and fail to pay them their salary due to the large compensation fees the company was being forced to pay.Ivy felt her head throb as she said, "The head office has already transferred all of the company's movable assets and funds. After accumulating everything, we're barely able to get through this."Due to the head office using all of the company's funds, Timbergale Corporation no longer had the funds to maintain its normal operations.Onc
"Could you teach me how you managed to pull it off?"Frederick said honestly, "I'm a doctor. I could tell from their faces that the cosmetic products contained bad-quality herbs. The bad-quality herbs tend to release harmful toxins when mixed together."I told you before that I studied medicine before, so I'm able to restore and heal Nicole's face."Ivy recalled that Frederick had indeed mentioned it to her before, but she didn't believe him back then. She was still suspicious of his claims as she asked, "You're a doctor? Then why aren't you working in a hospital? Why did you come to work for the company instead?"Frederick, I'm in a horrible mood, and I don't have the time to joke around with you."It wasn't Ivy's fault for doubting him. Any sane person would not believe that one of their office workers was actually a doctor.Not to mention, the victims of the cosmetic products had gone to the hospital for help, but the doctors there weren't able to help them.After all, thei
