She opened the surveillance on the second floor and saw what was happening downstairs, then quickly came down.When she arrived at the stairs, she saw Frederick tossing eight security guards into the air effortlessly.When the merchants who couldn't get to the second floor saw Emelia, they were all excited and eager to discuss potential collaborations with her.However, it was quite clear now that it was not suitable.Seeing her, Xavier quickly covered his bloodied mouth and approached Emelia."Ms. Parker, people from Timbergale Corporation are causing trouble here."Emelia heard the name Timbergale Corporation and frowned. As a major player in the industry, there was no way she wouldn't be aware of news like this."Is that the Timbergale Corporation, the one whose cosmetics caused an allergic reaction in over a hundred people?"Xavier quickly nodded and said eagerly, "That's right. It's the Timbergale Corporation."Yesterday, the director asked me out for dinner and tried to
When Frederick spoke, everyone present was taken aback. The host had already told them to leave, yet they stayed. Wasn't that just being stubborn?Even Emelia, who had been navigating the business world for a long time, had never encountered someone like him before. She was slightly taken aback and said, "Is this how Timbergale Corporation operates; so shameless?"Frederick gently shook his head and then said to Emelia, "No. Right now, both of us are not representing Timbergale Corporation.""We came to the exhibition to have a look. I want to buy some cosmetics to give to the lady next to me. Is Tengates Corporation even going to turn your own customers away?"Emelia was almost laughing with anger. "Customer? You call yourselves customers after doing such filthy things last night? And you're getting physical at my exhibition!"Frederick shrugged lightly and smiled faintly, saying, "There's more to what happened yesterday. Besides, this is just Xavier's side of the story."Does h
When Emelia saw that Xavier was being sensible, she nodded with satisfaction. However, she saw Xavier get beaten up like that, and not showing any concern as his boss might seem a bit too cold-hearted.Then, she said to Xavier, "Xavier, where is your business partner?"Xavier quickly introduced Emelia. "Ms. Parker, this is Mr. Ben. He is a reputable businessman in Jenaire City. He injured his leg while rescuing an elderly."Emelia nodded lightly and wanted to make up for Xavier in this regard. If she collaborated with Xavier's business partners, he would receive a bonus as a manager of this project."Great, I'm very satisfied with Mr. Ben. Let's go up and discuss. If possible, we can sign the agreement right away."Upon hearing what Emelia said, Xavier's face lit up with excitement, completely forgetting about the pain in his face.Emelia was usually very careful with her words. If she said this now, it meant that collaborating with Jerome was a sure thing.He had previously arr
Frederick's shout immediately drew the attention of the people around him.If Tengates Corporation's cosmetics were toxic, it would be huge news. It was like a well-known remedy from a trusted brand had actually poisoned someone. Ivy quickly tugged on Frederick, signaling him not to shout impulsively.Timbergale Corporation had now offended Tengates Corporation and they had decided not to collaborate with Timbergale Corporation.By slandering someone so publicly, Frederick was really making enemies for life. When the time came, Tengates Corporation would not only stop collaborating with Timbergale Corporation but would also use its influence in the cosmetics industry to suppress Timbergale Corporation.Frederick gently pointed to Ivy's hand and said, "Look at your hand."Ivy looked at her hand in surprise, her eyes widened and her mouth dropped. She instinctively exclaimed, "Oh my gosh, what's happened to my hand!"Everyone looked at Ivy's hand and saw that it was red and swo
"Fine, I'll do it, but watch closely."After she finished speaking, the saleswoman didn't take the hand cream from Frederick. Instead, she pulled out an unopened hand cream from the inventory.After opening it herself, she felt at ease applying it to her hand and then showed it to everyone."Come on, everyone, let's settle this issue fairly."Everyone had been talking over each other, trying to speak on behalf of Tengates Corporation. However, in no time at all, they each fell silent, their eyes fixed intently on the saleswoman's hand.The saleswoman looked at her hand with a puzzled look and then noticed that there were now some red rashes on it as well.Although it was not as severe as Ivy's case, a rash did appear, which meant there was indeed an issue with this cosmetic product."This… how is this even possible?"This time, it was a personal experiment conducted by a saleswoman from Tengates Corporation. No one had any doubts about it."Oh my goodness, there's really a pro
After Emelia went downstairs, she looked at the saleswoman's hand, then at Ivy's hand, and listened to what had happened.She also turned a suspicious look toward Frederick, suspecting he might be the one behind it. After all, her cosmetics had never had any issues, and the problem only arose when Frederick was around."How dare you use such dirty tactics to ruin my reputation? Even if you're a martial artist, I won't go easy on you."Emelia was indeed wary of Frederick's identity as a martial artist before, but now Frederick had undermined the reputation of Tengates Corporation.Emelia's success in growing the company to its current state showed that she was not someone who could be easily pushed around or taken advantage of.Frederick smiled. "Is everyone at Tengates Corporation like this?"When problems arise, you blame the customer instead of self-reflecting."Ivy, who had always been too shy to speak, finally stepped forward.She had always been at a disadvantage regarding
What he said was completely fabricated; she had heard it all from Anya earlier.Jerome was beaten by Anya's fiancé, so what did that have to do with Frederick and herself?Jerome heard what Ivy said and pretended that his leg was hurting. He held his leg and continued speaking, "Ivy, I know you won't admit it. Back then you didn't have a license plate on, so there's no evidence. Now, I'm a disabled person with no support, so no one would believe what I say."But I have to tell you, I don't regret it. Even if it cost my life, I still wouldn't regret it."Jerome first portrayed Ivy as the guilty party and then presented himself as a disabled person to gain sympathy.When he spoke, he was incredibly sincere with his voice breaking and tears streaming down his face. Most of them were moved to tears by Jerome's selflessness and spirit of sacrifice.While being moved emotionally, they also came to believe Jerome's words, which confirmed Ivy and Frederick's guilt.This was just Jerome'
Hearing this roar, everyone turned to look in the direction it came from.A woman with a severely disfigured face and a heavyset figure hurriedly walked into the exhibition.Everyone saw the woman and couldn't help but be shocked."This must be a victim of Timbergale Corporation!""Oh my god, look at her face, it's been ruined. Timbergale Corporation is truly despicable."Emelia, who had always been running a cosmetics business, turned pale with fright upon seeing her.She had always heard about Timbergale Corporation's cosmetics, but she never expected that this allergic reaction incident would be so severe.Upon seeing the woman, Frederick was slightly taken aback. "Why is Lena here?"According to Frederick's plans, Lena was expected to seek him out on the third day.Ivy felt a surge of frustration when she saw Lena. The public was already overwhelmingly condemning Timbergale Corporation.Now with the unruly Lena appearing, if things went the same way as they did with the p
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
