Adler's ears started bleeding, and blood poured out of them like a fountain. His entire body was flung backward and slammed hard against the wall, leaving a trail of blood on the floor.The servants turned pale with fear. "Master Adler!" Frederick withdrew his hands calmly, scooped Jennifer into his arms, and kicked away several more servants."Are you tired of living? Have you gotten so used to messing with others' women that you dared come after mine?" Frederick sneered. He had suspected Adler's sneaky behavior, and had been on alert."You bastard! How dare you defy me! I’m your cousin!" Adler screamed.He was sprawled on the ground, furious and in intense pain. He was unable to get up, and realized his bones were broken. How could this be? He was a Savant Grandmaster! How could Frederick send him flying with just one slap?!Frederick sauntered over, not even sparing him a glance. "Didn't I warn you? That if you bark at me again, I'll crush your skull?"Jennifer was panti

Jennifer was in a state of panic, and clutched Frederick's sleeve tightly. She was utterly terrified, unable to utter a single word. Was she really so insignificant and worthless in the eyes of these powerful figures?Sylvia was equally pale. She stammered, "F-Fred, this... I..."Her mind was in turmoil, and she was unable to think clearly. Atticus's condition was one that anyone would find hard to refuse. The only price to pay was giving up Jennifer.Tyrell and Barrett were seething with jealousy, but dared not voice any objections. Defying Atticus in such a serious matter would only lead to a terrible end, even for his own sons—as had happened with the former Lester family heir, Cyrus.Meanwhile, Adler, despite his pain, staggered to his feet and laughed maniacally."Hahaha! I like this deal! That woman is mine! I'll have her serve me day and night—not just me, but my father, my brothers, and my subordinates... We'll share her around! Frederick, don't worry. I'll make sure to

The situation had taken unexpected turns, and even Jennifer's perception of Frederick underwent a visible change."Jen, are you alright? You didn't get hurt, did you?" Sylvia asked with concern. Her words thawed Jennifer's icy demeanor, turning her uneasy. Jennifer had never imagined having the need to navigate around a mother-in-law before."Madam... I mean, Mom. I rushed out today, and didn't bring any gifts. Here's two hundred thousand. Use it for tea or buy something for yourself," Jennifer said, trying to lighten the mood as she handed Sylvia a bank card. "If it's not enough, let me know, and I'll transfer more money to you."Sylvia quickly pushed away Jennifer's hand. "How could I take your money? Jen, don't worry about me. I make enough to support myself. The most important thing is for you two to get along and give me a cute grandchild soon. I dream of holding my grandchild in my arms!" she said with a warm smile.Jennifer trembled slightly, astonished. "A grandchild?"

The crowd paused, their disdain and contempt growing stronger in their eyes. Looking for food as soon as he walked in? He’s hopeless! How could the former top student have fallen so low?Only one woman, with a gentle face and minimal makeup, handed him a plate of snacks. She whispered, "You can eat this to fill your stomach for now."Frederick recognized her as his former desk mate, Jade Hawkins. She had confessed her feelings to him before, but he had politely declined, and she graciously accepted being friends. In their final year of high school, they studied hard together for the college entrance exam, spending some wonderful moments together.After graduation, Frederick realized he had developed some feelings for Jade. But by then, it was too late."Thanks, Jade," Frederick said with a faint smile.Jade smiled, though she looked somewhat regretful. "Are you doing well now?""Fairly well. I think things are okay," Frederick replied. He never expected that among his forme

A long string of numbers rolled across the screen, so many that one would think they were reading a social security number!"One, two, three…seven…nine… Nine zeroes and fifty… That's fifty billion!"He rubbed his eyes several times, wondering if he was seeing things. The real numbers in front of him felt like a bolt from the blue, turning his legs weak.Fifty billion in the card! Goodness! Was this a prince from another country, or a mega-rich tycoon from overseas?No! The management must be notified!"What's going on?" The manager of the Essence Hotel rushed over, furrowing his brow."A guest just whipped out a card I've never seen before, and it's got fifty billion in it!" the waiter blurted out."The Global Elite Black Card? You can count the owners of those in Drakonia with just two hands!" The manager's eyes widened in shock. He asked hurriedly, "What's the owner’s name?""According to those folks, it's...Frederick Lester!""Frederick Lester? Wait a minute! You really hea
