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
Jerome, who was in pain, immediately stood up and gave Lena a hard kick, knocking her to the ground before making a run.Everyone was stunned when they saw this because Jerome could actually stand up!Lena saw Jerome trying to run, so she tightly wrapped her arms around his leg and then bit down hard."Ouch, it hurts so much. Crazy woman, let go of me right now." Jerome quickly used his other foot to repeatedly kick Lena in the head and face.Even though Lena's face was covered in blood from being kicked by Jerome, she stubbornly refused to let go of him.The crowds were all taken aback, completely puzzled about what kind of deep grudge existed between Lena and Jerome for things to escalate to this extent!Emelia was stunned by what she saw. Why were there so many issues at her exhibition? She quickly called the security guards to separate the two people!After being pulled away, Jerome quickly unwrapped the bandage to check his leg, only to find it bleeding nonstop.Lena bit o
Frederick smiled when he heard that. In fact, he had already recognized the ingredients of the herbal ointment on Lena's face.This herbal ointment happened to counteract the effects of the remedy Frederick made for Timbergale Corporation; the effects of the various herbs were all at odds with each other.At that time, Frederick already knew that after Lena had applied the antidote he gave her, her condition would get worse, and she would come begging for mercy.However, Frederick estimated that it would take three days for Lena's face to deteriorate to this extent.Apparently, Jerome gave Lena another antidote, which probably conflicted with the herbal ointment.Three substances were competing for space on Lena's face, causing her face to deteriorate prematurely.In other words, if Lena had used Jerome's antidote on her face, she would have recovered, and the truth would never have come to light.However, Lena, in a bid to get an extra million, tampered with the antidote intend
"That's right, let's seek justice from Tengates Corporation.""The leading company in the industry turned out to be taking advantage of its customers. We almost got scammed."Given the current situation, people were more inclined to believe in Ivy and Frederick.Emelia couldn't have imagined things would escalate this far. As the CEO of the company, she quickly stepped in to mitigate the damage."Jerome, I never imagined you're such a person. Tengates Corporation will never work with you."Moreover, I won't allow someone like you, who uses a woman to falsely accuse other companies, to enter the cosmetics industry in Jenaire City."After listening to Emelia's words, Jerome looked pale. He had just been able to secure a few contracts with Tengates Corporation, but now he was completely blacklisted by them.He knew the strength of Tengates Corporation in the cosmetics industry in Jenaire City, and by saying this, she effectively shut down any future possibility of him entering the
Lena quickly agreed while taking the herbal ointment with a look of joy on her face.She had witnessed the effectiveness of Frederick's herbal ointment, and since Frederick confidently asserted that she would seek his help again, she believed he truly possessed remarkable skills.Her face could be saved!Lena quickly applied a generous amount of herbal ointment on her face.Everyone was staring intently at Lena, curious about whether her severely disfigured face could actually heal.Even the best beauty salon in the world would probably be unable to achieve this.With each passing second, Lena's facial sores gradually disappeared, the swelling reduced, and her skin regained a smooth and fair complexion.Everyone was completely shocked when they saw this, as Lena's age definitely didn't match her youthful, fair skin.It must be the effect of the herbal ointment that Frederick gave her!Frederick quickly said, "This herbal ointment contains the latest ingredients from Timbergale
Emelia's expression changed as she looked a bit confused, but still followed Frederick's instructions and had the two people apply the hand cream.After applying it, two female executives both had red rashes on their hands within just two minutes.One seemed to be more serious like Ivy, while the other was just a bit red.When they saw this, everyone at Tengates Corporation was shocked to realize that their hand cream really had a problem!Emelia was also extremely surprised. "How is this even possible?"Frederick smiled and said to Emelia, "Ms.Parker, you have to understand that everyone's skin is different."If your skin doesn't have any issues with this hand cream; it still might happen to other people."Emelia shook her head in disbelief and said, "Every product developed by our company undergoes hundreds of tests. We test them on all types of skin. How could this kind of problem possibly occur?!"Frederick smiled and continued, "Ms. Parker, the hand cream you have there ha
Frederick smiled slightly and said, "I assume your company's formula is kept in a secure place. How could I have possibly stolen it? I simply figured out the formula of your hand cream by its scent."When they heard what Frederick said, no one believed him. They thought he was just boasting without even thinking it through.Could he figure out the formula just by smelling it?Even Ivy found it a bit hard to believe. To understand the formula of cosmetics, it was necessary to analyze and break down the product step by step.The process required a lot of highly skilled personnel and advanced equipment.Emelia smiled as she was clearly unconvinced, and said teasingly, "You think you can identify Tengates Corporation's exclusive formula just by smelling it? Why don't you tell me what's wrong with my formula?"Seeing that no one believed him, Frederick slowly said, "The issue is that the maltitol in the hand cream will ferment after six months. When maltitol ferments, it reacts with t
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
