Grace nodded and said angrily, "He must have discovered we were here and come specifically to torment us. He won't stop until we're utterly ruined. Just yesterday, he rejected your hard-earned designs during the interview. Who knows what he'll do if he stays here longer?Priscilla frowned and felt deeply troubled. Could Frederick be so ruthless? Even after everything, he still wanted to destroy them?"Grace, are you sure about all this?"Grace nodded, her anger unabated. "Of course, I'm sure. I was trying to get revenge for you, and that's why he hit me."Priscilla gritted her teeth and was enraged. Damned Frederick! Why wouldn't he be satisfied until they were completely ruined?She gently touched Grace's cheek, which was red from the slap. Grace had taken a blow defending her."Grace, you shouldn't have to suffer like this."Grace quickly shook her head. "Prissy, it's fine. It's not the first time he's slapped me. But you can't let him gain a foothold here. If he gets you
Meanwhile, Olivia remained unnoticed, quietly studying and observing as everyone flocked around Frederick.Some even whispered, inquiring if he was her boyfriend, which made her uneasy as she sensed their obvious interest in him.She replied in a soft voice, "We only met at the interview yesterday."Hearing Olivia's response seemed to embolden the women even more, and they surrounded Frederick with questions. At that moment, he had just finished reinstalling the operating system on a colleague's computer.One of the colleagues, Melissa Hartley was overjoyed when she logged in to find her once sluggish machine now running smoothly.She admired Frederick's competence as much as his looks. He was clearly going places, perhaps even becoming a team leader. And the way he'd stood up to Grace showed he had real boyfriend potential.A man like him wouldn't be on the market for long if she didn't act fast.Melissa's eyes sparkled as she smiled at Frederick. "Oh, Frederick, thank you so
Since the Danbury family's sudden disappearance after liquidating their assets, Grace and Priscilla had always assumed they'd crossed the powerful Monroe family, leading to their downfall.A wave of jealousy washed over Priscilla as she observed Olivia in the floral dress, standing nearby.Suddenly, Priscilla felt a wave of resentment surge through. Frederick was a manipulative heartbreaker, nothing more.Grace's voice dripped with disdain. "Look at him, Prissy, strutting around in that tacky suit, pretending to be something he's not. He's all charm and no substance, a master manipulator preying on these naive women. Who knows how many hearts he's trampled on before?"When Priscilla first met Frederick, he was wearing the same nice suit and refined manner that had swept her off her feet, leading to their whirlwind marriage.Now, the truth was painfully clear—his polished appearance and smooth talk were merely tools in Frederick's arsenal for flirting with women!The cheerful atmo
Frederick's eyes narrowed at Priscilla's outburst.Was she having another meltdown this time?"First of all, I never conspired with Vivianne. Secondly, I didn't resort to any tricks before, and I won't now. I always act with integrity, so I suggest you refrain from using such harsh language. I've tolerated you long enough."Priscilla's anger flared upon hearing Frederick's words. He had gone to great lengths to sabotage her job interview, using underhanded tactics against her designs, and now he dared to blame her!At that moment, Grace, like a loyal lapdog, jumped in to defend Priscilla.She marched up to the women around Frederick and snapped, "You bunch of sluts! Have you never seen a man before? Get out of here now! Be careful, or I'll have my cousin bring some thugs to teach you a lesson."The female colleagues, already intimidated by her, quickly distanced themselves. They were all too familiar with the unsavory reputation of her cousin, Mitchell.He held a position in Tea
Frederick scoffed at Grace's words. "So, what's the difference?"Grace replied with a hint of satisfaction, "The first option lets you leave on your own with a shred of dignity. The second? I throw you out."Frederick snorted. Seeing Priscilla and Grace again was like accidentally tuning into a cringeworthy reality show.If he'd known they worked here, he would've turned and walked right back out. However, Grace just threatened to kick him out. Leaving now would be like admitting she scared him.There was no way!Sitting himself nonchalantly in a chair, Frederick met Grace's gaze unflinchingly."Here I am. Are you feeling brave enough to toss me out? Do it. Otherwise, shut your pie hole and get lost. What a rabid dog! I've got work to do!"Seeing those two again made Frederick sigh in exasperation. It seemed fate was determined to throw him together with these annoying women no matter where he went!Frederick's comparison of Grace to a "rabid dog" sent ripples of laughter thr
"You're nothing but a leech, Frederick York! Worthless and unwanted, that's what you are! Now hurry up and sign these divorce papers so that Pris can be free of you!"A thick stack of papers was rudely thrown right in Frederick's face.He clenched his fists tightly to suppress his rage. He was not in the mood to spare any attention to the well-dressed scion before him. Ignoring Wade Zahler, Frederick set his gaze on a limited edition Ferrari pulled up a distance away."Why won't she come and talk to me herself? I will only discuss the matter of divorce with Priscilla."Upon hearing Frederick's words, Wade behaved as though he'd just heard the joke of the century. He guffawed exaggeratedly."Pris handles business dealings worth tens of millions by the minute! Do you think you're worth her time talking to you personally? Who do you think you are?"For the last three years, she has had numerous dealings with Monroe Group. She is now one of the most prominent and wealthy ladies in th
The moment he turned away, Frederick decided that he would forget about Priscilla.Seeing him leave, Priscilla felt a tugging ache in her heart. She shook her head to clear her thoughts.She was determined to be the best businesswoman in the world, and Frederick would only be a stumbling block on her way to success! If she did not cut ties with him, it would be disadvantageous to her plan!"Haha! Prissy, the scumbag's finally gone. Let's go for a nice candlelight dinner!"Seeing that they were now divorced, Wade rubbed his palms together and licked his lips gleefully. He gave Priscilla a good look, all the way from her sexy legs up to her exquisite face.Priscilla frowned slightly. "I have some matters to deal with tonight. I haven't got time to have dinner with you."Didn't you say that you were going to help me deal with the divorce procedures? Here, deliver this card to Frederick for me. There are ten million dollars in here. Also, please call me by my name properly in the fut
In the Miller mansion, Priscilla's mother, Marianne Sacher, flipped through the divorce papers with a wide smile on her face. Her smile was so wide that the edges of her eyes wrinkled up."What great news! Pris has finally got a divorce from her good-for-nothing husband! I'll look into your marriage with Pris in a few days, Wade. Does your promise of a jewelry shop as a wedding gift still stand?"Wade hurriedly patted his chest and assured Marianne, "Rest assured, Mrs. Miller. The day I marry Pris will be the day you become the owner of a jewelry shop."Marianne was delighted to hear Wade's guarantee. Her daughter, who was a divorcee, in exchange for a jewelry shop. What a bargain!All of a sudden, she caught sight of a clause on the divorce papers. Priscilla had just agreed to pay Frederick an alimony of ten million dollars. Marianne's expression darkened in disgust."That son of a bitch got an alimony of ten million dollars?"Wade touched the bank card in his pocket guiltily an
