Releasing negative energy was exhausting. Without the Violet Spirit Vessel, it would be difficult for Frederick to release it alone.The negative energy in his body at that moment was like a glacier. Every time he tried to release it, he could do it a little. At that rate, it would be impossible for him to get rid of the negative energy entirely.Just as he sighed, he received a message on his phone. When he picked it up, he saw that it was Melissa. "Mr. York, how is the patient at your home?"Seeing how she was still caring about his family after returning home, he felt touched. "She's fine now."Then, she hurriedly replied to him: "I see. What are you doing now, Mr. York?"Clearly, she was doing her best to find something to talk about. She was like a young woman madly in love, wanting to talk to her boyfriend but had nothing to talk about.Frederick could only casually reply, "I'm in my bed."Melissa also noticed that she was being awkward, and she hurriedly found something e
When Frederick arrived at the restaurant, he hurriedly asked the receptionist, "Excuse me. Is there anyone from Timbergale Corporation and Tengates Corporation having a meal here?"The middle-aged woman at the reception took a look at him and thought about it before saying, "No comment."He narrowed his eyes and could tell that something was clearly wrong from her attitude. He hurriedly said, "I'm from Timbergale Corporation, and I'm here for the meeting too. I'm just really late."She looked at him from top to bottom and saw how elegant he was in his luxurious suit. He did seem like he was from the upper management of a company.Then, she smiled obscenely. "Two people at once, huh? You people from the upper class sure know how to have fun. They're in room 303, so you should hurry up. Your colleague might've started by now."After learning which room it was, he hurriedly approached the room.Meanwhile, the room was spinning for Ivy as she was in a daze. She had too much alcohol t
When Ivy heard that, her suspicions were raised. "Really?"Xavier said, "Of course. I would never lie to you."She half-heartedly believed him and grabbed the glass of wine again. However, she only drank half of it this time and couldn't drink anymore. Instead, she spat the wine on his face and waved her hands. "No, I really can't drink another drop anymore."Seeing how drunk she was, Xavier wiped off the wine on his face with his hand. Not only was he not angry, but he was actually excited.He obscenely licked the wine she had just spat out on his hand. "Heh! As expected of my little beauty. Even the wine you've spat out tastes so great. Since you can't drink anymore, let me feed you myself."After saying that, he pounced on her right away. Then, he tried to kiss her with his thick lips.Despite being drunk, Ivy knew she couldn't let Xavier have it his way. So, she did her best to push his face away. "What… What are you doing? This is no way to talk about business!"Xavier deci
"Haha! You should just give up now. Even if you scream at the top of your lungs, no one will be here to save you." Xavier laughed obscenely.At that moment, someone kicked the door open from the outside. He turned around and saw an elegant man in a suit. That was none other than Frederick."Who… Who are you?"Frederick looked furious at that moment. "The person who's going to kill you!" Then, He immediately pulled Xavier off of Ivy's body.Xavier was infuriated after being interrupted when he almost got what he wanted. He tried to punch Frederick. Before his fist could reach the latter, Frederick had already hit Xavier in the head.Xavier felt as if a hammer had hit him. He held his head and only returned to his senses after a long while.At that moment, Frederick had already picked Ivy up. When she saw it was him, she finally felt at ease and wrapped her arms around his neck.Seeing how Frederick was about to leave with Ivy in his arms, Xavier was fuming in anger. He had wasted
To Frederick's surprise, Ivy didn't care about what he had said at all. She wrapped her arms around his neck as he spoke and kept kissing him.That was when he realized something was wrong. It seemed to him that she was drugged!Since he was holding her with both arms, he could only avoid her by moving his head slightly. However, she crazily held his head as she kissed him. Frederick was like any other man, and he started feeling warm after being kissed by her so much.At that moment, there were many people pointing fingers at them. After all, it would be weird if no one noticed them when he was carrying a grown-up woman on the streets while she kissed him like a mad woman. Frederick couldn't help blushing because of that.If they continued to stay there, someone might post a video of them online. It would be bad if his wife found out about it, so he couldn't stay there any longer!Clearly, the drug in Ivy's body was in full effect. As she kissed him, she urged him, "What are you
Frederick sat at the side and took another deep puff of his cigarette. Then, he calmly said, "It sure is exhausting every time I get rid of a drug's effect using energy to massage someone."If the drug stayed in the body for too long, it would be bad for the body. However, he had a wife, and he couldn't use the most primitive way to eliminate the effects on Ivy. So, he had no choice but to massage it out of her using some energy.After he was done helping her, he was prepared to head home right away. Although he had nothing else in mind, it wouldn't be wise for a man and a woman to stay in the same room by themselves. He snuffed out the cigarette in an ashtray and stood up.Suddenly, he felt dizzy, and he softly said to himself, "This is not good. I was already feeling weak after releasing the negative energy today. Now, I'm feeling extremely weak after using my energy to help Ivy get rid of the drug in her system."Soon after that, he could feel his consciousness getting blurrier.
Frederick said he was feeling helpless when he brought Ivy to a hotel to get rid of the drug's effects!She couldn't believe how he acted like he had no choice when he had slept with her and thought he was the most shameless man in the world!"You… You're despicable!"Frederick was frustrated as he knew her mind was in the gutter again. Then, he hurriedly explained, "Ms. Mallin, we're both adults here. If something really happened to us last night, you would definitely feel it by now, right?"After hearing what he said, she looked at him with a suspicious gaze. She had heard how painful it would be for a woman's first time. However, she didn't feel anything strange at all at that moment.Then, Ivy looked at her body under the blanket. Although her clothes were taken off, she was still wearing her inner layers. From what she could see, it was easy to tell that Frederick didn't take advantage of her at all.However, she still asked in high alert, "Then, why were you sleeping here?
In the hotel lobby, Ivy tried to compose herself as she watched Frederick check out.She couldn't keep being this shy anymore. After all, she was Frederick's director.If she kept being shy and avoiding looking at him, what kind of impression would that leave?When Frederick checked out, Ivy had already composed herself and returned to her usual professional demeanor as a competent female boss.She gave a soft cough and said to Frederick, "You mustn't tell anyone about what happened yesterday."Frederick put on a puzzled look as he touched the back of his head and replied, "Yesterday? What happened yesterday? I don't remember anything at all."Watching Frederick's pretense, Ivy glared at him intensely and said, "Good. You know what's best for you."After finishing speaking, Ivy thought about how Xavier had the audacity to drug her and even attempted to assault her.She said with gritted teeth and a fierce tone, "I absolutely won't let Xavier get away with this."Frederick was
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
