Selene covered her face, and said helplessly, "Sell myself? I don't understand what you're saying.""Are you trying to act innocent in front of me?" The woman's expression changed from embarrassment to anger. "I'll call a few big shots I know to take you up on your offer right now! Then you'll know what it means to sell yourself! Don't you dare leave!"As soon as the woman turned around, she screamed. A slap landed on her face with such force that she flipped several times in midair before crashing to the ground, her legs up in the air. Immediately after, cakes, ice cream—everything was thrown onto her face.The woman was now a mess from head to toe.She couldn't contain her rage, and yelled, "Who the fuck did that?!"Suddenly, Selene exclaimed in excitement, "Fred!"Frederick had hit that woman!Selene rushed into Frederick's arms, and sobbed, "I'm sorry, Fred. I didn't mean to...""I know everything," Frederick said with a faint smile. He wiped the cream and tears off Selen
Jasmine swept into the hall gracefully with her head held high. She was wearing a red cocktail dress and a pair of crystal high heels. Dylan's expression immediately changed. "You're... Ms. Jasmine Smith, the Smith family's new heiress!""Well, at least you aren't blind," Jasmine sneered coldly. "Besides being the Smith family's heiress, I'm also the deputy general manager of Aerowind Enterprise."Jessica didn't understand the situation, and immediately taunted Jasmine. "Oh, where did this vixen pop out from? How dare you act so arrogantly in front of my husband!"Dylan's face darkened instantly. "Quiet! I apologize for the oversight, Ms. Smith. Please forgive me!"Jessica retorted angrily, "Dylan, why are you like this? Are you interested in her and trying to cozy up to her?""Darling, she's part of the Smiths from Centropolis!" Dylan quickly tried to appease the woman in his arms. "Centropolis aristocrats aren't people we can afford to provoke in our small circles!""So what
Joseph was huge, and he resembled a humanoid beast. However, he instantly crashed to the ground after Frederick's crushing blow. He clutched his leg, and wailed in agony.Everyone was stunned at the scene before them."This is outrageous...""Were they really nicknamed Beast Warriors?""I actually think Frederick is more of a Beast Warrior than Joseph…"After Frederick took action, he turned to look at Jessica with icy eyes. She was now as pale as a ghost."I usually don't hit women. But you're in luck today, because I've decided to make an exception for you!"With that, he swiftly slapped her across her face, instantly sending her flying more than ten meters away. She soon crashed into a dining table; glass shards and cutlery stabbed into her body, and blood flowed freely from all her injuries.The previous slap was just a test. But this time, Frederick was serious!Jessica was instantly disfigured. Her teeth were knocked out, and the wounds on her face chillingly revealed gl
As soon as Gerald stepped forward, he angrily rebuked Dylan in a loud and assertive manner. "Look at how badly my sister is injured! Isn't it all because of what you've done as her husband? You've been indulging her reckless behavior all this time! "And now, you're trying to falsely accuse others? If I believed you, it would become a case of misusing public resources for personal gain and corrupt practices!"Dylan covered his face, and staggered back a few steps. He was utterly stunned and at a loss for words. He wanted to cry, but no tears came. "Gerald, I..."He had thought his family's savior had arrived. Instead, he had been rebuked."That's Mr. Stewart to you!" Gerald roared. "Now, apologize to Ms. Smith and Mr. Lester right now!"With that, Dylan could only swallow his pride and limp over to Frederick and Jasmine. "I'm sorry."Those few words seemed to drain all the strength from him, and he looked like he had aged ten years in an instant.The onlookers couldn't hel
Outside the hotel, Selene suddenly stopped in her tracks. Then, she said hesitantly, "Fred, I'm sorry!""What's wrong?" Frederick turned around."If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have offended Parker Properties and Mirage Construction. Will this affect your career?" Selene bit her lip, feeling guilty.Frederick chuckled silently, and pinched her cheek gently. "Who cares who they are? I would have done the same to anyone who dared bully my sister. Even if it was the king himself, I would tear down his palace!""Fred..." Selene was moved to the brink of tears.She walked up to him and hugged him tightly, and her eyes were slightly red. "Don't be so good to me! You need to think about yourself more, too!"Frederick held her close, his voice filled with affection as he said, "I have no other family besides you and Mom. If I don't protect you both, what else is worth protecting?"Of course, there was Jennifer, the ice queen. He would somewhat consider her as part of his family."B
Upon hearing the news, Frederick was stunned. Their company had only been established for a few days—how could there be unpaid wages? Did these protesting migrant workers mistake them for someone else?"Are you sure these people are there for us?" Frederick asked again."Absolutely sure! They said our names and positions very clearly. They're here specifically for us!" Jasmine said urgently. "Hurry up and come over! I'm going to lose control of the situation soon!"Frederick had no choice but to rush out to the company. When he arrived, there really was a group of rural laborers holding banners and demanding their wages. Various shouts echoed around the area."Heartless bosses are withholding hard-earned money from rural laborers!""Their actions caused laborers to be unable to return home, and they have to sleep under bridges!""The bosses are splurging money earned from workers' sweat on clubs, luxury cars, and yachts!"There were many reporters with cameras in their hands,
Jasmine hurried forward to Frederick."Frederick, I suspect there's more to this than meets the eye. Someone must have orchestrated this from behind the scenes. If you rashly take on this mess now, they could use it against us later! It's all risk and no gain for us!" she whispered.The head of security also stepped forward, and said respectfully, "Mr. Lester, there's no need to fear these poor folks. We have over twenty security guards with us, armed and ready. Handling them will be a piece of cake!"Frederick replied firmly, "Enough said. I will make sure they get paid their wages. Because... My dad was also a laborer."As he said this, he felt a complicated mix of emotions.Cyrus used to work tirelessly day and night for the sake of their family. Sometimes, he could only come home once a weeklThese people earned their living with their own hands. They worked hard to support their families, but were still manipulated by heartless bosses. Sometimes, their complaints went unhear
Frederick headed straight to Fascine Villa without hesitation. He knocked firmly on the grand doors of the estate."It's me, Frederick Lester. Ms. York called me here to discuss something with you. It's extremely urgent!" he declared.Soon, Frederick was ushered into Fascine Villa's main hall. Xavier was dressed in traditional attire, and he looked to be in high spirits when he emerged."Did Jennifer send you here to surrender?" Xavier chuckled confidently. "Without the funds from our family, your company has reached its limits, right?"Xavier grinned broadly. "If you want our family to come back into play, your presence alone won't cut it. Jennifer herself must come here. She must serve me tea, admit her faults, and promise to step down from the CEO position. She must also relinquish control of the board. If she doesn't do all of that, you can forget about it!"Frederick frowned in irritation. "You old geezer, have you been daydreaming too much?"Did this old man really think
