My Boss’ Secret Is My Undoing! Chapter 153
"The night at the bar was actually my second test," Jennifer said with a small smile. "If you had taken advantage of me then, I would've kicked you out of the company the next day!" Jennifer wasn’t someone to be trifled with. Anyone who tried to cross her would face dire consequences."The third test was a reward for helping the company handle the Campbell Pharmaceutical incident." Jennifer had heard endless praise for Frederick over the past few days. Besides Jasmine, many employees from the PR department of Prospera Corporation had witnessed his heroic deeds and reported them to her enthusiastically."So, does this mean you’re agreeing to come with me to the Lesters' banquet tomorrow?" Frederick asked, overjoyed by this unexpected turn of events.Jennifer turned her back to him and said indifferently, "Yeah. Let’s just say I owe you a favor. But let me make one thing clear. If you or your mother expect me to do anything unreasonable, I won’t comply. Now, leave."Her words wer

With things as they were, Frederick and Sylvia had no choice but to go to the Lester family banquet.After more than an hour's ride on the electric scooter, they finally arrived at the estate of one of the Great Four Warrior Clans, the Lester family.The sprawling mansion stood imposingly; it followed the principles of mysticism, with buildings positioned in the cardinal directions.At the entrance was a lineup of modern luxury cars. The members of the Lester family who came and went exuded an aura of superiority."Well, if it isn't Hector? I heard you've been running a combat school these past few years and making a fortune!""Ms. Sophia! It's been a while! Congratulations on winning third place in the Drakonia Beauty Contest Southern Region preliminaries...""Hey, Colin! Haha, your kid's made it into Aflon prowess? That's impressive!"The butler at the entrance, who was checking invitations, seemed to be a savvy person. He could strike up a casual conversation with any member

Zander’s punch could've left Frederick crippled for years. But as Zander's fist was mere inches from Frederick's eye, Frederick's hand clamped down hard on Zander's wrist. His strength was like a mountain pressing down on the ground, leaving Zander unable to move.Zander's face turned red with effort. "Are you... Are you also a Savant Grandmaster?"Frederick didn't answer. Instead, he snapped Zander's arm, causing the latter to collapse in pain."Anyone who insults my mother must die!" Frederick said dangerously."Zander? Damn it! There's trouble!" The Lester family’s guards immediately surrounded them. Just as they were about to attack, two figures suddenly appeared."Hold it, everyone! There can't be any bloodshed at the master's birthday banquet!"It was Frederick's uncles, Tyrell and Barrett, who stepped forward with crossed arms. Seeing Frederick, they chuckled."Well, well! Look who's here!""Since you're here, why not take a seat and have a meal before you go? We don't
My Boss’ Secret Is My Undoing! Chapter 156
One congratulatory message after another sent Sylvia's initially upbeat mood plummeting.She looked ashen. The Lesters were throwing around millions worth of malachite items—especially Tyrell and Barrett, who even brought up malachite stores and mines! It was shocking.Sylvia glanced at the unassuming malachite pendant, and felt a pang of embarrassment. "Oh, my son… I've embarrassed your father."Frederick was taken aback, lost for words."Hey? Isn't that the third branch over there?" Tyrell seized the opportunity to mock them. "Everyone else’s gifts have been presented. I wonder what precious gift you've prepared for Father?""What? Is that the useless Cyrus's wife and son, who were cast aside twenty years ago?" someone said.Their words were like a bombshell, instantly causing a commotion.All eyes turned towards them. The Lester family's patriarch, Atticus Lester, now looked uncertain.Sylvia stood up nervously, and said respectfully, "Greetings to all the Lester family. I

In an instant, the entire hall was illuminated by the shimmering malachite beads.Atticus was stunned, tongue-tied in amazement. "This is...the Peerless Elegance, one of the world's top seven malachite treasures!"The Peerless Elegance was valued at three billion. It consisted of nine glassy emperor-green malachite beads and 204 diamonds totaling 41.58 carats. The malachite was flawless and round, and there were no impurities. It was said to have been kept by the wealthiest tycoons abroad, rarely seen in the world. "What if it's fake, Father? That kid just said it's garbage!" Tyrell shouted.Atticus picked it up. He examined it carefully, and even used a magnifying glass. He muttered to himself, "This is definitely authentic! Nine top-grade glassy emperor-green malachite are extremely rare. Finding an identical piece is like finding a needle in a haystack!""Why do you have such a valuable item?" Sylvia looked at Frederick in astonishment. "I had no idea you had such a precious i

"Well, then you're in for a disappointment," Frederick said calmly as he picked up his utensils. "My wife is the most beautiful woman in the world. She's not like those women plastered with makeup."Jocelyn crossed her legs, and mocked, "Hah, boasting is easy! The most beautiful in the world? How beautiful can she be?""Just a few billion times prettier than you," Frederick retorted.She grew angry. "You're all bark and no bite, Frederick! I bet you don't even have a girlfriend! You probably watch too much TV and fantasize about turning every female celebrity into your wife, right?"Adler also chimed in, "Yeah! If she's really that good-looking, why didn't you bring her to the banquet for us all to see?""Because I'm afraid you'd all be jealous," Frederick said casually.In truth, he lacked confidence in his own words. Jennifer had actually stood him up, and he couldn't figure out what she was up to.Jocelyn smirked. "Frederick, these feeble excuses might work on children, but t

"Wow, what a babe!" Adler shivered. He had experienced many exceptional women, but this was the first time seeing such a flawless beauty. Even the hotties in the short videos he often watched were ugly compared to her!"Honey, sorry for being late!" Jennifer, carrying her handbag, approached Frederick slowly and linked her arm with his. Her every move and smile seemed to mesmerize those around her.As her gaze fell on others, her expression turned into icy—as if she was warning strangers to stay away.Everyone was stunned. Was this really Frederick's woman? No way!Frederick was dumbfounded for several seconds. Then, he hurriedly said, "Ms. Yo... I mean, Jen, darling!" Jennifer turned her gaze to Sylvia, and immediately greeted her warmly. "Hello, Mom."Sylvia was all smiles, and she gushed, "Jen! Fred has mentioned you to me a few times, but you're even more beautiful than I imagined! Fred is so lucky!"Jennifer flipped her dark curls, and smiled gracefully. "Don't say that.
My Boss’ Secret Is My Undoing! Chapter 160
"You want me to return to the Lesters too?" Frederick was surprised."That's not all. I want you to strive for the support of the intermediary faction. I want you to become the new heir of the Lesters," Jennifer said slowly, emphasizing each word. "Frederick, you have to remember! This is your only chance to change your fate! It's also your only window into high society! Seize this opportunity, and not only can you stand on equal footing with me—you might even surpass me!"For some reason, Jennifer genuinely hoped Frederick could measure up to her standards. She was a woman who admired strength, and she never paid attention to men who were beneath her in status and power. Of course, except for Frederick—he was an exception."What do you want me to do now?" Frederick asked expressionlessly."Enter the family, impress Master Lester, and develop your own strength! Finally, become a Savant Grandmaster. You need to break free from your old low-level perceptions and habits, and enter

Heston was still scoffing when he received a call from Giovanni.He was taken aback, and he nervously glanced at Frederick. 'No way…'The moment he picked up the phone, he got a torrent of scolding.Meanwhile, a bloody power struggle was underway in the Imperial Capital.After the Conservatives took down Woody, their ambition surged. They now aimed to dismantle the entire Radicals faction. Though the Radicals had already compromised in the Woody affair, they were taken aback by the Conservatives' greed and refused to back down any further.A fierce conflict broke out between the two sides, quickly escalating into open warfare. The entire Imperial Capital was placed under lockdown, with martial law in effect. Gunfire and smoke filled the air as both sides clashed, and the violence soon spread across Drakonia. Armies from all regions were mobilized, and a war was about to erupt. At this critical moment, the First Elder woke up.Years ago, after deposing the Dark Monarch of

Senspiras, located in the southeast of Drakonia, was also a neighboring country of Drakonia. It also has the largest population of overseas Drakonians. Many of the wealthy families in Senspiras migrated from Drakonia within the past century or two. The current richest man in Senspiras was one such example."Is Mr. Stone your father?" Frederick raised an eyebrow and asked."Looks like you've got some sense! Name your price!" Heston smirked, and pulled out a checkbook.Frederick's expression darkened."Your dad's assets are not even enough to wipe my shoes. Who do you think you are, pretending to be a big shot? Get lost!"Frederick quickly realized that Heston was just a spoiled brat who would throw money around bullying people. Since he wasn't much of a real threat, Frederick wasn't bothered by dealing with him. Upon hearing Frederick's words, Heston was stunned. "Are you out of your mind? My dad is the richest man in Senspiras! How dare you belittle him?" “So what? Your enti

Sylvia had so many questions. She wanted to know what Frederick had been doing to provoke such dangerous enemies. She wanted to know if Frederick had really killed a hundred people. She wanted to understand how her son had gained such abilities. And most of all, she wondered if Frederick had been living this kind of disturbing life all these years."Mom, we'll talk about it when we get home," Frederick said, gently lifting Sylvia and leaving the company.On the way, Frederick lightly tapped on Sylvia's head, and she quickly fell unconscious. He had used a special method to erase part of her memory.When they arrived home, Sylvia slowly woke up."Fred! Why are you suddenly home?" Sylvia exclaimed in surprise when she saw Frederick."I'm about to go on a long trip, so I came to visit. Why are you sleeping on the couch instead of in your room?" Frederick smiled.Sylvia sat up from the couch, feeling a bit stiff and sore."I was talking to your sister on the phone. How did I
My Boss’ Secret Is My Undoing! Chapter 1006
"Yes, it was me. If no one managed to escape, the entire Steinfields family—except for children under sixteen and elders over seventy—should be dead by now," Frederick said with a smirk.If he didn't deter the Steinfields with a show of force, others might try the same methods against him in the future.Hearing this, Kaizer's face went blank and terror filled his eyes. At that moment, Frederick's phone rang. It was Melanie calling. Frederick answered, and put the call on speaker. "How did it go? Tell me, so Kaizer here can hear," Frederick said."There were a hundred and seventy-three Steinfields. Fifty-two were children and elders. The remaining hundred have all been executed!" Melanie reported. Kaizer spat out a mouthful of blood in shock. "No way! We're the Steinfields! The Steinfields of Imperial Capital! How could this happen?"In a panic, Kaizer fumbled with his phone, trying to call his family. However, every call he made went unanswered."You'll find out for sure onc
My Boss’ Secret Is My Undoing! Chapter 1005
"Let her go!"A sharp voice rang out.Kaizer instinctively turned around, and he was stunned by Nella's beauty. He couldn't believe someone like her existed."Nella, why did you come down?" Jasmine called out, her eyes widened in panic. She had specifically told them not to come down.Nella trembled in fear. "Ms. Smith, we were worried about you!"Though she was terrified, she still stepped forward. She couldn't just stand by and watch Jasmine get assaulted."Well, well, Frederick sure is lucky with women. But now, they're all mine. Who would've thought that I'd be blessed with a feast before leaving Drakonia!" Kaizer was practically drooling.He let go of Jasmine, and rushed toward Nella eagerly. Nella backed away step by step, but soon found herself cornered."Haha, come to me!" Kaizer spread his arms wide, lunging toward Nella.Just as he was about to grab her, a thunderous crash shook the room. The outer wall of the building crumbled down.Frederick had burst through it a

Meanwhile, Frederick had just gotten off the plane. As soon as he turned on his phone, he saw a long list of missed calls from Selene.He immediately felt uneasy. Selene would never call him so many times unless something urgent had happened.He was about to call her back when his phone rang again.Frederick answered Selene's call quickly, but before he could ask anything, Selene's tearful voice came through."Fred, Mom's been kidnapped!"Frederick's face darkened instantly, and his killing aura surged."Alright. Don't worry, Mom will be fine."With that, Frederick hung up the phone; he then immediately called Melanie, who was still in the Imperial Capital, lazily lounging in bed."Do you have any intelligence on the Steinfields in the Imperial Capital?" Frederick asked through gritted teeth.He didn't need much thought to figure out who was behind this. There was hardly anyone left in Mirage City bold enough to cross him, except for Kaizer. And now, Sylvia had been kidnapped

When the elevator doors opened, Jasmine stepped out into the lobby.Kaizer's eyes lit up as he eyed her from head to toe. Though he had seen pictures of her before, she was more of an eye candy in person. Kaizer, holding his rifle, approached her. "Ms. Smith, you certainly kept me waiting!""What do you want with me?" Jasmine asked coldly. She knew that showing fear or vulnerability would only embolden these lawless men."Ms. Smith, why don't you take a guess?" Kaizer reached for Jasmine and lifted her chin with the barrel of his gun, forcing her to look at him.Jasmine met his gaze without a hint of fear."Is it money you want? The company has ten million in cash reserves. You can take it, and I guarantee I won't call the police. We can pretend nothing ever happened as long as no one is hurt. As for the funds in the company’s accounts, you wouldn’t be able to take it even if I transfer the money to you with today’s financial systems," Jasmine spoke calmly."Ms. Smith, you're q

Bang!With a loud crash, the door was violently kicked open. Kaizer and his men stormed into Frederick’s place.Sylvia was startled, and she shouted, "What do you guys want?" "We're here to kidnap you!" Kaizer strode toward Sylvia. Then, he snatched away her phone and crushed it."Tie her up and take her away!" Kaizer and his men acted quickly. Selene, on the other end of the video call, was shocked by the strangers. Fortunately, she was still on alert. She quickly tried to call Frederick while shaking with fear. However, Frederick’s phone was off since he was on a flight."How’s everything going on your end?" Kaizer asked his men over the phone."We’ve rigged all four walls of Aerowind Enterprise with high-powered explosives. Once we detonate them, the whole building will turn to ashes," his subordinate reported.A smile finally appeared on Kaizer’s face. "Good, I’m heading over now." Soon, Kaizer arrived at Aerowind Enterprise with a backpack."I want to see Ms. Sm

Upon hearing Frederick’s words, Woody stumbled. "Take him away!" one of the senior officials from the Supervision Department ordered.The respected elder of the Drakonia Royal Court, Woody, was escorted away along with the evidence and witnesses."After today, the Lamberts will cease to exist, and you're finally free." Frederick sighed in relief, and smiled at Easton.Easton looked slightly lost. He wasn’t sure what to do next with his sudden freedom. "What's wrong? Struggling to find a new purpose in life?" Frederick teased.Easton nodded, and replied, "Yeah, my ambitions have been completely worn down these three years. I feel a bit aimless.""Should I find you a job?" Frederick suggested casually."It’s best if I could work for you, Mr. Lester!" Easton’s eyes lit up with excitement."I have a pharmaceutical company under me. If you're interested, you could take the position of Chief of Biomedical Engineering," Frederick said jokingly. To his surprise, Easton was genuinely
