Seeing Frederick return the car, Jean was extremely anxious. "Why do you insist on not accepting any reward? You saved me. Without you, Bryan would have harmed me. Is my purity not worth even a sports car?"Besides, my family has plenty of these sports cars. I don't even like driving them!"Frederick felt a bit embarrassed when he heard that. It seemed Jean's family must own a dealership, given how many sports cars they had.Jean quickly continued, "I'll give you this sports car as a wedding gift for our marriage, okay? Cut ties with all your girlfriends. I'll take care of you from now on!"Frederick scratched his head helplessly, thinking that Jean must have watched too many TV dramas, assuming that being rescued once meant she had to marry her savior.Plus, as a grown man, why would he be receiving a wedding gift?"I already have a wife, and I don't have that many girlfriends. I was just lying to Miranda. I really can't accept this car."Seeing Frederick's firm attitude, Jean,
At this moment, Frederick had no way to defend himself. Jean, kind-hearted?All he could hear on the other end of the phone was Serena's heavy breathing. "You... you're going to be the death of me."Let me take my heart medication first, then I'll scold you."Upon hearing this, Frederick's expression changed slightly. Serena had become ill due to overwork, and her heart had not been in good condition for some time.Frederick also wanted to treat Serena, but recovering from this kind of fatigue required a lot of rest. However, Serena was constantly busy taking care of the children and had no time to rest, which was why Frederick hadn't been able to treat her.Now, Serena was so upset that she fell ill. Frederick was naturally anxious. "Madam Serena, please don't worry."From the other end of the phone, there was the sound of Serena taking medication with water. "How can I not be anxious?"Just tell me, can you have a good relationship with Jean?"Hearing Serena's somewhat weak v
The company's surveillance system was very basic and lacked any security measures, so Frederick had no difficulty accessing it.However, it was discovered that the company's surveillance system had been hacked, and all the content inside had been deleted.Frederick frowned slightly. In all the time he had been working here, nothing like this had ever happened.It was only today that Miranda came to work, and such an incident occurred. Frederick found it hard not to suspect Miranda.Moreover, an average hacker trying to hack into a surveillance system would definitely need some time and some specialized tools.At the company, Miranda definitely wouldn't have the capability for that. The only explanation was that Miranda must have a team.Thinking of this, Frederick squinted his eyes. He couldn't alert anyone prematurely, so he just spoke to Melissa."It's nothing, I just set up a small thing on my computer. Someone must have accidentally touched my computer, that's why this happe
Inside a ward in a hospital.The Patient Revenge Squad was plotting. Initially, Jerome's leg had almost fully healed, but now his hospital stay had been extended again.Last time at Tengates Corporation, he kicked Lena, which worsened his leg injury. Additionally, Lena bit off a chunk of flesh from his leg.What was terrifying was that Lena also had a severe case of rabies, which made Jerome's injury even worse.Wynne was seriously injured from jumping off a building and has been unable to walk. In the entire Patient Revenge Squad, Xavier was the only one who could walk normally.The responsibility of seeking revenge had fallen entirely into the hands of Xavier.Xavier lost his prestigious job at Tengates Corporation because Frederick exposed him.Emelia continually pressured her lawyer to sue Xavier. Eventually, Xavier had to give up all his possessions to compensate Tengates Corporation for emotional damages, which finally kept him out of prison.At this moment, Xavier had l
"Since when did you start bragging?"Despite knowing how capable Frederick is, Ivy knew that he even turned down a hundred million dollars yesterday just to promote Salmasian music.However, Frederick ultimately declined. With the salary of an average mid-level manager, Frederick simply couldn't afford such a nice car in his lifetime.Frederick felt a bit helpless; he really couldn't afford such an expensive car, but it wasn't like someone was offering to give it to him for free.Ivy ignored Frederick and instead brought him to the bus stop.Frederick sighed helplessly. When other people got a luxury car, they took girls for a ride.But what about him? He had a luxury car and she still didn't believe him. She insisted on taking the bus with him...Soon, the two of them took the bus and arrived at the factory site. Upon arrival, Ivy was the first to exclaim, "This factory is worth two million? There must be some mistake, right?"Looking at the factory, Frederick felt incredibly
Since they offered a low price of two million dollars, they were confident that Frederick would simply walk away.As expected, when Ivy heard what they said, she was startled. She told Frederick, "Alright, just wait for me here."A lot of people prefer discussing business with not too many people around." Frederick shook his head helplessly, then said to Ivy, "If you find yourself in any danger, call me right away."Ivy gave a helpless smile. She thought that negotiating an acquisition wasn't a fight and there wouldn't be any danger. However, Frederick's concern warmed her heart, so she smiled and said, "Alright, I know." After saying that, Ivy walked toward the boss' office. The two men exchanged glances, realizing that Frederick had grown suspicious of them. Naturally, they couldn't let Frederick leave."Hey buddy, negotiating an acquisition can take a long time, and it's so hot outside. Why don't you come into the mailroom and have some tea?"The two of them escorted Fred
The boss was told that Anya was being offered to two major bosses and that he absolutely shouldn't touch her, a condition he hadn't thought much of at that time. He hadn't anticipated that Anya would turn out to be so stunningly beautiful. He couldn't help but feel some regret for agreeing to that condition. As the boss' lecherous gaze lingered on her, Ivy felt extremely uncomfortable. "Are you going to talk about the acquisition or not? If not, I'm leaving." The boss quickly replied, "Ms. Romero, didn't we agree on two million dollars over the phone? What else is there to discuss?"Once my secretary arrives with the contract, we'll sign it and everything will be settled, right?." Ivy felt relieved when she heard about signing the agreement, it seemed that she had misunderstood the boss. Since the boss didn't seem to recognize Anya, she decided not to bring it up, not wanting to complicate matters unnecessarily. After all, she would use Timbergale Corporation's official se
Hearing the boss' words, a look of despair appeared on Ivy's face as Frederick had clearly noticed the danger earlier.Her rush to acquire the low-priced factory had not only endangered herself but also caused Frederick to be drugged with a sleeping pill.Upon hearing what the boss said, Xavier flashed a sinister grin. "Haha, little beauty, no one's here to save you this time. Just see how I'll deal with you" At that very moment, the door was kicked open from the outside. Seeing the scene before him, Frederick's face was filled with rage. Xavier was about to assault Ivy, and his pants were already down. If he had been a moment later, the consequence would have been unimaginable!The boss, who had never met Frederick before, looked puzzled. "Who are you?"Xavier quickly pulled up his pants and said, "That's Frederick. He's the one who beat me up last time and got me fired."Upon hearing this, the boss was eyeing Frederick up and down. So this refined man was Frederick? He had
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
