Melissa also felt much more relieved as she said, "Don't worry, guys. Let's just focus on doing our jobs, and Mr. York will settle the issue."Hearing Melissa's words, everyone forced themselves to begin working.First and foremost, Frederick headed to the herbal medicine market. Then, he brought back a bunch of herbs back to the hilltop mansion.Next, he headed to the kitchen and began processing each herb that was needed to create the ointment. It would indeed take him some time for him to make everything as he had to make a batch for a hundred people.Due to the tight time constraint, Frederick could only gather all of his energy to finish the process of completing the ointment.As time slowly ticked by, Frederick's forehead was covered in sweat as the ointments had reached the end steps of the production.Jacob and Tyger had been sitting in the living room as they watched Frederick work. They were slightly confused as to why Frederick needed to produce such a big batch of oin
At the same time, Frederick finally finished making the last herbal ointment as he sighed in relief.Looking at the hundred portions of herbal ointments, Frederick believed that there would be enough for everyone.Looking at the time, he realized it was already noon and that he was about to be late. So, he quickly packed up the ointment and turned to leave.He happened to meet Scarlett who looked very pale. But Frederick only gave her a short greeting before rushing off."Oh, you're home. I still have something to do, so let's talk some other time."With that said, Frederick left in a hurry. Scarlett's pale face was filled with hurt and disappointment as she watched Frederick leave.Tyger noticed Scarlett's pale complexion. He asked worriedly, "Ms. Samson, are you hurt again?"Scarlett was still mad as she talked to Tyger. "Didn't I tell you explicitly to not tell Frederick about such things? Were you just about to tell Frederick about it?"Tyger lowered his head after hearing
Ivy was currently in her seat with her head lying on the table. Her soft snores were enough to show how exhausted she was.Frederick didn't want to break Ivy away from her sweet dreams, but he could only do so as time was almost up.He said softly, "Ms. Malin, wake up."He called out once again, but Ivy remained deep asleep. So, he could only slowly walk up to her to give her a pat.Frederick had just taken two stops when he saw that Ivy's cute face turned red from her sleep. Her usually bright eyes were tightly shut, and her lips were slightly puckered up.He never thought the usually stern and strict Ivy would look so cute in her sleep. That realization made Frederick feel slightly dazed.That was how Frederick's face had become the first thing she had seen when she opened her eyes.She had pulled an all-nighter the night before and her mind was groggy due to the fact that she had just woken up. Hence, she was stunned to see Frederick looking down at her.What was happening?
Ivy was filled with exasperation when she heard his words. Due to the absurdity of his words, she didn't even think twice as she said, "You plan on giving yourself to me if you fail to heal those victims? Shouldn't that be your gift after successfully healing all those victims?"She quickly realized how wrong that sounded and immediately blushed profusely after seeing Frederick look at her with amusement."That's n-not right. It doesn't matter if you heal them or not, you don't need to give yourself to me!"Frederick wanted to laugh as he looked at Ivy who was stuttering after being teased by him."Why? Are you the one who wants to give yourself to me?"Ivy was just about to nod when she realized the trap within his words. She was infuriated and used her fists to hit Frederick."You're so shameless!"But at that moment, Ivy realized that they were acting like a cute couple right now. They weren't behaving like a superior and their subordinate.Her face turned red with embarra
Ivy had been so scared because there were about a hundred people waiting by the elevator door for her.A hundred people weren't scary; what had terrified her was the fact that all of their faces had been severely disfigured.Some of their faces had what appeared to be burn scars, while some of their injuries were leaking pus. There were even people whose faces were still bleeding. Seeing their faces, Ivy was once again filled with immense guilt. Although Mitchell was the one behind the whole fiasco, all of these people would not have gotten hurt if she had seen through Mitchell's act and stopped him in time.Standing in front of them was the group's representative, Lena Lennington. Lena had been the one to contact all of the victims and arranged for them to be hospitalized.She was also the one who was always able to think of ways to deal with the people from Timbergale Corporation. In order to maximize their gains, everyone acknowledged her as their representative.Lena was an
Ivy never thought that the negotiations would become so emotional, despite not even taking out their compensation contract yet."You've all misunderstood me and the company. Our company really wants to discuss the terms of the compensation with you."Lena stood out and said sarcastically, "Alright then. Why don't you pay me my money right now."At the mention of money, Ivy immediately remembered the more important task at stake, healing all of the victims' faces.She quickly turned to Frederick and asked for a bottle of ointment. She said, "Everyone, I would like you all to take a look at the ointment in my hands. "This is a special treatment that our company has produced for all of you. Once you use the ointment, your face will heal and return back to normal soon."Although Ivy had not witnessed the effects of the ointment herself, she trusted Frederick.Frederick had told her that the ointment would allow their faces to heal and return to their original state. So, that is def
Ivy covered her mouth in shock when she saw her reflection in the mirror.On the other hand, Frederick smiled faintly. Other than healing the allergies and rotting caused by the cosmetic products, his ointment also had a brightening effect.Frederick quickly turned to the crowd and said, "Not only is our ointment able to heal all of your faces, but your skin will also turn soft and dewy after continuous use of our ointment. Even your wrinkles and spots will also disappear."Hearing Frederick's words, the crowd felt eager to try the ointment. Not only would they be able to heal their faces, but they would also have much better skin than they'd had before.Where could they ever find such a great product?Someone gathered their courage and said with uncertainty, "I'll try it."Ivy was ecstatic. She was about to hand the ointment over when someone snatched away the ointment in her hands.Lena turned to that person and reprimanded them. "Do you remember what you promised me? "As yo
Ivy hesitated momentarily after hearing Lena's words before getting down on her knees and kneeling before the crowd.The crowd was immediately shocked by the scene before them. After all, Timbergale Corporation was a well-known company. They never thought the director of such a well-known company would actually kneel before them.Ivy knelt on the ground and said sincerely, "I know I won't be able to pay you back for the harm you've all endured just by kneeling here. But I have never thought of running away from my responsibilities. "The company has taken out all of our funds to compensate each and every one of you, and the company is currently facing bankruptcy."But we are also victims in this situation. Someone had swapped our ingredients with bad-quality herbs, causing this entire mess. So, I would like to sincerely beg each and every one of you to give our ointment a chance!"Hearing Ivy's sincere tone, even the angriest and most stone-hearted ones had begun to waver.People
