"What if I refuse?" Jennifer asked loudly. She didn’t keep her voice down. Matty smiled when he heard what she said. He remained silent."You have no right to refuse."Nathan shook his head. He sounded calm, as if he was merely spilling facts."Even if you disagree, Mr. Lambert won't let you off the hook. I may stop Mr. Lambert from hurting you in Whalen Group's headquarters, but once you're outside, nobody in the Imperial Capital can ensure your safety. Don't even think about escaping from the Imperial Capital. Once Mr. Lambert gives the word, you won't even be able to get on any method of transport."On top of that, if you don't cooperate, people around you will be affected as well."Jennifer was shell-shocked. With Matty's influence and stature, she probably couldn’t escape from him in Drakonia, let alone the Imperial Capital."I won't cooperate even if I have to die!"Jennifer seemed determined, despite looking very pale. She had decided to kill herself if resisting failed
Jennifer didn’t care if Frederick could resolve the issue at hand. All she knew was that he was her boyfriend.Would Frederick leave and allow his girlfriend to be hurt just because Matty was powerful? Would Frederick sacrifice her to protect himself just because he was less influential than Matty?Jennifer could not bring herself to do such a thing. It would hurt Frederick's pride and ego. She believed Frederick would not accept something like that, either.That was because he was a real man.If Frederick had not shown up, she would rather die than let anything affect Frederick.However, Frederick showed up. They would stick together through life and death."Mr. Whalen, Frederick is my boyfriend," Jennifer said.Nathan’s face was bitter. Did he forget to check his astrology predictions today? How was he going to choose between Frederick and Matty?"Hahaha! What a joke!"Matty laughed loudly."Who’s Frederick? He's nothing but a pest. I can crush him with just one finger! T
Frederick looked silently at Nathan.Nathan did not dare to look up. He could feel a cold, piercing gaze on him. His entire body was shaking, and his shirt was drenched in sweat.Frederick had left too strong an impression on him.Whalen Group at its peak was nearly wiped out by Frederick. If Whalen Group had not served any purpose for Frederick, it would no longer have existed.Besides, Whalen Group was barely holding itself together.Nathan knew that if Frederick chose not to let him off the hook, Whalen Group would disappear completely after today.After a long time, Frederick looked away and turned to face Jennifer."What do you think?" he asked.Nathan looked up at Jennifer with a pleading expression.Jennifer was still lost in thought.She knew Frederick had overpowered Whalen Group in the past and made Nathan surrender. However, she didn’t know the process.She also did not understand how Frederick managed to make a powerful patriarch like Nathan bow down to him.Jen
Nathan instantly felt tingles in his scalp.The Lamberts only had one male descendant in each generation of the family.Although Matty was quite the bastard and he couldn't help but be a womanizer, the Lamberts still had hope of extending their bloodline. After all, Matty had gotten quite a few women pregnant over the years.However, for a big family like the Lamberts, Matty was not allowed to have illegitimate children before he was married. Hence, most of the women who were impregnated by Matty had to get abortions after being pressured by the Lamberts.Now that Matty had lost his ability to produce sperm, he was practically dead to the Lamberts.For the Lamberts, continuing their legacy was far more important than anything else.Matty cried as if he was a pig being slaughtered. In the end, he passed out."Mr. Lester, you…" Nathan could only laugh bitterly."If the Lamberts react in any way, tell them to come to me," Frederick said. With that, Frederick dragged Matty out of
"You're fired," a tall, striking woman announced. She wore a black pencil skirt, and her demeanor was cool and distant.Frederick Lester swallowed harshly as he looked at the woman's beautiful figure and tried not to let his eyes wander.The woman was Jennifer York, the recently appointed Vice President of the corporation. At twenty-seven, she was a highly educated returnee with a Ph.D. and dual degrees. She was also rumored to earn an incredibly high annual salary of as high as one billion!Today was her first day, and it had been full of tough interviews and layoffs.Someone from HR came up and tapped him on the shoulder. "Frederick, it's your turn." Frederick nervously entered her office. "Ms. York, you wanted to see me?"But as he entered, he saw Jennifer on the floor. She was obviously in distress, and her breathing was heavy!Frederick's concern spiked, and his heart raced.He had to do something!Despite her situation, her beauty was undeniable. He couldn't help bu
Marissa grabbed her bag and stood up. She sneered and said, "I'm a graduate of a prestigious university and a senior employee at a Fortune 500 company! I earn twenty thousand a month, own two cars, and a house!"You make less than four thousand, and you're a nobody. How dare you think of dating me?!"I assumed you were some charming, wealthy heir. But a twenty-five-year-old with neither a car nor a house? What a disappointment! How can you be so shameless to even show up here?!"Marissa pointed a finger accusingly at Frederick, her words cutting like a knife.Frederick's face turned icy in an instant. If this were Belleria, a woman like her would never get away with such behavior!When the situation escalated, Sylvia quickly stepped in and said, "Marissa, even though Fred doesn't have a car or house right now, he's down-to-earth and full of potential...""Back off! Don't touch me, you old hag!" Marissa yelled and rudely shoved Sylvia aside."Don't touch my mom!" Frederick said
"Huh?!"Frederick stood there, completely baffled."What's with that look? Don't tell me you've forgotten me already?! We just met today!"Jennifer's frustration was obvious when she saw Frederick frozen in place. She grabbed his arm and ushered him into the Bentley before driving off quickly.The onlookers were abuzz with whispers and speculation!This stunning woman had come for Frederick!Marissa's mouth fell open in disbelief. Why had such a gorgeous woman come for a nobody like Frederick?!Lucy looked as though she had seen a ghost."Sylvia, your son... has already gotten himself a wealthy partner?! Why did you even set up this blind date, then? Were you toying with us?!"Sylvia was equally puzzled.When did her son know someone so prominent?-The Bentley eventually stopped in a quiet spot. Jennifer's dress had a plunging neckline and was eye-catching.Frederick sat in the passenger seat and tried not to stare as he asked hesitantly, "Ms. York, why did you come for
The man they were here for was the Dark Monarch of the Northern Frontier, a pillar of the nation, and one of the pinnacle figures of power in Drakonia!By establishing a relationship with the Dark Monarch, they could soar to great heights with limitless prospects!"It seems that you both have also heard the news. The Dark Monarch has been frequenting this restaurant that's popular for matchmaking lately," Matthew said with a smirk. "Looks like I'll have to keep a close watch from now on. Can't let you guys get ahead of me!"All three knew deep down the terrifying power of the Dark Monarch! He was someone even the kings of the West would bow down to!Even if they couldn't flatter him, they had to maintain good relations. Otherwise, if the Dark Monarch became enraged, countless would perish, and rivers of blood would flow!If he wished it, the Dark Monarch could obliterate the three powerhouses in an instant!"I've heard that Lord Hades has now settled in Mirage City. I'll find him
