Before Priscilla could look closer at the notebook, Grace snatched it from her and tore out the page Frederick had written on. Then, she ripped the page to shreds.With Vivianne's temper, there was no way she would stand for that. She was so mad that her finger trembled as she pointed it at Grace. "Why, you … How dare you rip my evidence to shreds!"After being a secretary for a few years, Grace thought she was good enough to be equal to Vivianne. She stuck her hands on her hips and snarled, "What, it's evidence just because you say it is? I bet you just got someone to scribble some things on there."Don't think I don't know what you're up to, Vivianne. You think Priscilla's stolen your thunder because of how well she's done in recent years. You're trying to frame us for something we didn't do!"Vivianne was so mad that even her lips started trembling. For a second, she was lost for words. Without Frederick, Theodore, and the Monroe family's support, Priscilla would never have gott
Priscilla hadn't gotten a good look earlier, but she was sure the handwriting belonged to Frederick.Vivianne merely smiled mysteriously. "My boyfriend wrote it for me. What's wrong with it?"Priscilla unfurled her furrowed brows. Since Vivianne's boyfriend was the one who'd written the note, it couldn't be Frederick. "Well, how authentic are the things your boyfriend wrote?"Vivianne said proudly, "He's a miracle doctor with amazing medical skills. He can treat any disease, no matter how complex or rare it is."Priscilla shook her head lightly. "Regardless, he's not from a professional body. Don't you think it's a little immature of you to accuse us of providing you with bad-quality herbs based on a note he wrote?"Vivianne was taken aback by this. Earlier, she'd been so pissed by Priscilla accusing her over the phone that she'd only thought about getting Frederick to list the issues with the herbs so she could argue with Priscilla. She'd forgotten about the authenticity of the n
"You … you …" Priscilla's finger trembled as she pointed it at Vivianne, who'd turned and left.Grace saw that something was wrong with her. She asked, "What's wrong, Pris?"Priscilla was so mad that she stammered over her words. "She's the woman that I heard during the call with Frederick."Grace looked astonished. "Wait, she was with Frederick? Doesn't that mean they—"Before she could finish, Vivianne opened the car door. Through it, they saw that Frederick was indeed seated in the passenger seat. Grace cried, "It really is him!"Meanwhile, Frederick had also seen them. He only spared them a glance, though. There was nothing between him and Priscilla anymore, and Priscilla suspected him of so many things. He didn't want to have anything more to do with her.Vivianne turned to see Priscilla looking as pale as a sheet. She smiled smugly before shutting the door and speeding off.Just then, Wade arrived in a hurry. He pretended not to know what had happened and asked about the s
Wade nodded vigorously. "I heard from Mrs. Miller about the woman who hit Mitchell. At the time, I found her description familiar but couldn't link it to anyone. Now that you've mentioned Vivianne, everything's just clicked. It's her!"And if not for the Danbury family being so influential, do you think any Tom, Dick, or Harry would dare to just hit someone like that?"Priscilla frowned. Wade's words were persuasive, but she couldn't help feeling hesitant. "But why would Frederick want to do this to me? And would Vivianne really be interested in someone like him?"Grace took the opportunity to "analyze" the situation while fanning the flames. "I bet it's because he's holding a grudge against you for the divorce. Since he can't have you, he wants to destroy you."He hates your company—you divorced him because your company's become more powerful now. Besides, think about how good an actor he is. Didn't you marry him back in the day because you thought he wasn't too bad?"Grace's wor
Frederick woke up early the following day and went to the villa's garden. He slowly shut his eyes and breathed in the fresh morning air. As he inhaled and exhaled, the leaves around him seemed to sway in rhythm with his breathing. It was as if they'd become one!Suddenly, Frederick opened his eyes. Light flashed in them. He let out a roar as loud as a lion's. Then, he tightened his core and swung a punch, emitting a loud crack. With every punch that he swung, he seemed to exude boundless power.After completing a series of punches, Frederick exhaled deeply. He hadn't practiced his martial arts like this since getting married.He went back inside and took his shirt off to wipe his sweat. Just then, his stomach rumbled. He went to the kitchen and made himself some instant mac and cheese.As he took his first bite, someone rang the doorbell. Frederick put his cutlery down to answer the door. It was Vivianne. He asked curiously, "What are you doing here?"Vivianne's face was a littl
Was the Danbury family going to hold this over Frederick's head and make him keep working for them?At Frederick's frown, Vivianne explained, "Here's the situation—I had all four patients sent home this morning, and I gave them 100 thousand dollars each in exchange for their secrecy. I told them to stay at home for the time being."One of the patient's family members refused to accept the money, though. They insisted on having the doctor who'd checked the patient treat the patient before they would agree to keep their silence. And so, to keep things under wraps and to help catch the people who framed my father, could you please help?"Frederick wasn't too pleased about this. As a doctor, he naturally had the empathy and kindness to want to treat every patient in the world. If any patient came knocking and asked him to treat them, he would gladly do so.Yet, this patient was using the dirt they had on Vivianne to threaten her so she would come to him and ask him for help. Frederick
Priscilla wanted to ignore David when she saw the lecherous look on his face that even the mask couldn't conceal. But Grace hurried forward and said, "Dr. Jackson, we wanted to ask about the four patients who were staying here earlier."Under normal circumstances, doctors couldn't reveal information about their patients to third parties. But David, who was now thinking with his dick, couldn't care less about the principles of being a doctor. He immediately told them what he knew."Oh, I know all about that. I was their chief physician, after all. They're basically on the brink of death now, and it's all because they consumed Danbury Corporation's herbal pills. Just imagine how heartless Danbury Corp. is." David's love for Vivianne had turned to hatred because he'd failed to win her heart.Priscilla's eyes widened at his words. She thought Vivianne had only been making up stories about the patients. It turned out there really had been four patients who'd fallen ill after consuming
"We can pay you for your help," Grace said.David was delighted to hear this. It was right up his alley. On one hand, he could get revenge on Vivianne. On the other hand, he could take this opportunity to get close to Priscilla and Grace. What was there to say no to?He suppressed his joy and put on a righteous look. "Exposing these unscrupulous entrepreneurs is what is expected of me, a doctor educated in Motheca. The money doesn't matter, really."Priscilla's and Grace's eyes lit up at his words. They didn't expect David to be such a righteous, upstanding doctor.Then, David switched tactics. His gaze was lecherous as he said, "Instead, I was hoping I could have the chance to treat you two pretty ladies to a meal."Before Priscilla could say anything, Grace rejected him. "No, that won't do. We have other things on today."She still remembered Priscilla's date with Wade at Sky Garden later that day. To Grace, Wade's family and net worth made him the perfect candidate for Prisc
