With Frederick's downfall, the investors and backers promptly pulled their funding. Jasmine hadn't anticipated the swift and drastic reaction—it was as if they had caught the scent of blood. The shortfall was now in hundreds of millions!The amount wasn't enormous, and Jasmine could have covered it using the Smith family's funds. However, if she did that, it would publicly confirm that Aerowind Enterprise was on the brink of collapse.With the general manager missing and the deputy general manager starting to cover the gaps with personal funds, it would only hasten the company's downfall!On the other side, Willard began talking. "Are you still pretending?" "Jasmine, the bigshots behind us are former investors in your company. They have a lot of cash tied up here."They're worried that the front-line investors have already withdrawn their funds, and they won't get a penny. That's why they sent us to collect the debt!""My friends, we're going to storm in there soon. Take wha
Bang!After delivering that initial blow, Frederick advanced, lifting the brick and continuing to slam it into Jillian's face.Crack! Crack! Crack!Jillian's face was quickly reduced to a bloody, mangled mess. Blood splattered everywhere as her body convulsed violently. Her screams turned into frantic, desperate howls.The sudden brutality of the scene left everyone in stunned silence, their faces frozen in shock.It was Frederick Lester!The general manager of Aerowind Enterprise!He was still alive!Nella's heart raced, her fear making her throat tighten. It turned out that Frederick had gone outside to fetch a brick from a nearby construction site to use as a weapon!Frederick continued to rain down blows with the brick, his face expressionless as he let the hot blood spatter around him. Gradually, Jillian's struggles ceased and her screams stopped. She lay motionless on the ground, limbs sprawled out, her face unrecognizable. Her features had been completely obliterated.
In no time, all the troublemakers lay dead at the company's entrance, their bodies scattered everywhere. Not a single one of them managed to escape.Even Jasmine didn’t dare to stop the enraged Frederick, resigning herself to his rampage until every last one of them was dead.Afterward, she called the crematorium, requesting a large truck to collect the bodies."Frederick, we couldn't reach you all night. Where have you been?" she asked.Frederick tossed aside the brick, and adjusted his clothes. With a serious expression, he said, "I ran into some trouble and broke my phone. Nothing happened to the company while I was gone, did it?"Jasmine's eyes were bloodshot with frustration. "Of course it did—it was a major crisis! We almost couldn't control it!"If Frederick hadn't shown up in time to dispel the rumors, there might have been even worse troublemakers than Jillian and Willard arriving at their door!Frederick's expression darkened further as he listened to Jasmine's account
For the first time, Jennifer was enthusiastic and proactive.Frederick was pleasantly surprised. "Are you sure? I'm feeling pretty intense right now. Can you handle it?"Jennifer smiled seductively. "I've got a lot of fire in me too! Can you take it?"Frederick grasped Jennifer's hand more firmly, and he glanced around. "Here?""Are you scared?" Jennifer smiled sweetly."No way!"Then, Frederick wrapped them both in a coat...and they went all out in the cold wind!Half an hour later, Jennifer poked her head out of the coat with a flushed face, breathing heavily. "Aren’t you going to get off me? I’m dying here!"Frederick chuckled as he got off Jennifer, and calmly got dressed.As they approached the rooftop exit, they realized Jasmine and Nella had been waiting for a long time. Jasmine and Nella looked away, blushing."Did you see everything?" Frederick felt a bit embarrassed, but tried to laugh it off. "Haha! Well, you girls have to face these things eventually. It's somethi
"Why?" Jennifer and Jasmine asked, looking at Nella with hostility."How could she, a newcomer who just joined the company, suddenly be appointed as department manager? What will others think? They'll assume we're playing favorites!" Jasmine protested.Jennifer sighed. "Frederick, this is inappropriate. Prospera has reservations about this decision."She had promised not to interfere with the management of subsidiaries, so even if she was dissatisfied, she wouldn't assert her authority.Nella felt even more uncomfortable. "Mr. Lester, please reconsider your decision. I'm just a newcomer without any significant contributions to the company. Also, I'm not qualified in terms of experience and capability."Frederick forced a smile. "So, are you questioning my decision?"The room fell into a dead silence.Jennifer cleared her throat. "I'm not commenting on anything. I won't interfere in Aerowind Enterprise's affairs. Since you're the general manager, everything is up to you."Jasmin
Jennifer was furious. She had been minding her own business, yet trouble came out of nowhere. "Xavier might have come prepared. I'll go with you!" Frederick quickly said.Jasmine also looked serious. "Yes! I can handle things here in Centropolis. Mirage is our main base. You two should go immediately!""Excuse me!"At that moment, a slender woman in a fitting white V-neck shirt rushed in. It was Carol, the HR manager. During this crisis, she had been working tirelessly to keep up employee morale."What's the matter?" Jasmine asked curiously."The investors who were threatening to pull out have heard that Mr. Lester is back. They've set up a banquet at Moramoras Restaurant to apologize to you guys!" Carol said, wiping the cold sweat from her forehead.At that moment, only Frederick noticed Carol was quite attractive. She had black curly hair, a wide V-neck revealing her collarbone, and a sensual, captivating figure. If she were his woman, Frederick would probably be touching
This top-secret plan was the true core reason their organization had been hiding in Aston. What Six had been working on was just a second-class mission."The organization sent me here for this, but sadly, you can no longer assist me. Rest in peace," Helara murmured to herself.As she stepped away, a dense formation of armored vehicles suddenly appeared on the scene."I knew it! Organization V would send someone here," Seiryu said, emerging from a private jet that landed right in front of the woman. He smiled confidently. "That's why I set up this trap, waiting for you to show yourselves."Helara tilted her head. "So, this is a trap?""Of course!" Seiryu signaled, and immediately, thousands of guns were aimed at her, ready to fire. From her demeanor and actions, it was clear she was a high-ranking core member of Organization V—possibly even one of the leaders. This was a golden opportunity to capture Organization V's members, and Seiryu wasn't about to let it slip away.He had
Frederick sneezed unexpectedly, multiple times in a row."Achoo! Achoo! Achoo!"Jasmine couldn’t help but tease, "What's wrong? Catch a cold?"Frederick rubbed his nose. "No, it’s weird, I never sneeze like this."Jasmine giggled. "Maybe you've been doing that too much?"Frederick shot her a glance. "Nonsense! I’m strong! Want me to prove it to you?"Jasmine blushed. "Cut it out!""But seriously, are you planning to go to the banquet? You even sent Jen ahead to Mirage City because of it."Frederick shook his head. "The moment I'm out of touch, all those troublemakers start stirring things up. If I leave Centropolis again, who knows what they'll do next!"He was determined to take care of these nuisances for Jasmine before he left."But are you sure you want to go, just the two of us, without any bodyguards? At least bring my bodyguards," Jasmine said. She was worried.“If we’re bringing so many people with us, it'd be like showing up for a fight instead of attending a banque
