"Mr. Loder, if you want us to hand over Frederick, we'd be happy to! Unfortunately, Jennifer is in charge now. We have the intention, but not the power."Seeing the dramatic performance from the two, Jennifer couldn't help but sneer, "You still want to take advantage of the situation at a time like this! You two are really great, huh?"Zeke's voice was sharp. "Take advantage of the situation? Jennifer, we're trying to save the company! If we don't give him Frederick, we'll all go down together!"Zacharias approached Glen, and said fawningly, "Mr. Loder, rest assured. Frederick is just a lowly employee in our company. He's a powerless nobody! If you promise to support our move to impeach Jennifer, we can immediately bring him here and make him kneel before you to apologize."Upon hearing this, Glen erupted in anger. "Damn you! Make him kneel before me? Are you trying to kill me, you son of a bitch?!" He slapped Zacharias across the face, sending the latter flying through the air.
"Didn't you promise me that if I collected the ten billion debt, you'd unconditionally grant me one request?" Frederick smirked, his tone playful. "What's wrong? Didn't you receive the ten billion from Glen?"Jennifer's face instantly flushed red. She closed her eyes, and replied coldly, "I did.""Then that's settled. How about taking a shower together?"Frederick boldly made an outrageous request. In reality, he just wanted to rest at her place. But because it was too hot today, and Jennifer's bathroom was the most comfortable in the whole villa, it seemed only natural to him to hop in for a shower. Unfortunately, Jennifer had unexpectedly walked in.Wasn't this walking right into the lion's den? A single man and a single woman in a bathroom together on a hot day… It was easy enough to imagine what could happen."You want me to take a shower with you?" Jennifer's anger flared up instantly. This man had some nerve! In the past, she would have thrown a slipper at him and ki
Frederick was suddenly startled as Jennifer's high heel came swinging towards him. "Ahh! Ms. York, let's talk this out!"Unfortunately, he was currently shirtless, which severely limited his ability to maneuver. Plus, Jennifer wasn't much shorter than him. She was only about half a head difference, standing at about five foot eight. She was fierce!Sure enough, one shouldn't mess with a tiger's backside—especially when that backside belonged to Jennifer!"I'm asking you, what happened with Glen?" Jennifer demanded, her tone sharp yet restrained.Frederick tried to evade the question. "Uh… I…uh, talked sense into him, and he suddenly saw the light. Do you believe me?"Jennifer arched an eyebrow. "If this was before, I definitely wouldn't believe you. But since you managed to escape Glen unscathed, you definitely didn’t clash with him!"She assumed that if Glen, the young master of one of the Great Four Warrior Clans, truly wanted Frederick dead, Frederick wouldn't have lasted
Frederick was fuming in anger. He was about to hang up the phone, when Derek panicked and exclaimed, "Dr. Lester, please listen to me! I called you late at night because she fell seriously ill, and her condition is critical! Her life could be in danger at any moment!"My father-in-law is the former academician of the National Academy of Sciences, Charles Harrison! He has made significant contributions to the country's semiconductor industry!"The granddaughter of a retired national academician?Frederick was taken aback. He only respected two types of people in his life: soldiers and scientists. Apart from that, to him, anyone with power, fame, or internet popularity was just recyclable trash, only good for a complete overhaul."If she's the granddaughter of a retired academician, then it's worth my intervention," Frederick said. "Send a car here. I'll be out in ten minutes.""Yes, of course! Thank you, Dr. Lester!" Derek was very excited.A few minutes later, Frederick changed
Derek was taken aback. He knew Charles was already furious because of his granddaughter's illness. He hurriedly tried to smooth things over, saying, "Father! Dr. Lester was just joking around. You have extensive knowledge, so how could you possibly buy a fake?"But then, Frederick interjected, "He's the one with extensive knowledge? He spent forty million on a fake. What a sucker!"Derek's smile froze instantly. This was bad!Charles's anger flared up instantly. "You scoundrel! I didn't want to give you a hard time, but you keep provoking me! Prove to me that the painting is fake, or forget about losing just a leg! You'll be my servant for a year!"Derek was at a loss. "Father, Dr. Lester saved my life. You can't treat him like this!""Derek, stay out of this! If not, don't blame me for turning against you!" Charles's face darkened, showing no respect whatsoever.The painting, Palace Maids, was his most prized possession. Whenever he received esteemed guests, he would display i
The moment she saw Frederick, the girl rushed towards him like an eagle that had spotted a rabbit.With a swift motion, Frederick caught her. He spun her around and swiftly pressed her pressure points, calming her down. She collapsed on the ground, breathing heavily.Witnessing this, everyone couldn't help but marvel."D-Dr. Lester, the situation is urgent! Please, you must act quickly!" Derek stuttered.Charles's expression became even more painful. He clasped his hands together, and said, "Mr. Lester, I was rude earlier. This painting is indeed a fake—I admit it! Now, please save Lena! She's my only granddaughter, the treasure of our entire family. We can't afford to lose her!"Frederick narrowed his eyes, and replied casually, "No, I won't do it. Just now, you said you’d cut off my leg, and that you’d even make me your servant for a year. With that attitude, you want me to save her? Do you think I'm a saint from a TV drama?""But... Doctors should have compassion!""Compass
"That's the one! I studied under him for ten years, and only recently returned after completing my studies," Melanie said. When she mentioned Gregory, her words were dripping with great confidence. After all, not just anyone could become a direct apprentice of one of the top ten doctors in Drakonia. This meant she had already surpassed 99% of her peers!Willa said seriously, "Charles, I heard about Lena's illness. I was very worried about her. That's why I went through the trouble to find Melanie to treat her!"Willa and Helena had been childhood friends, and their relationship had always been fantastic.Frederick, however, furrowed his brows slightly. Gregory Ravenwood, the Holistic Healer? Oh! He remembered now. Wasn't that the old man who knelt at his feet three years ago, begging him to take him as his apprentice? Frederick couldn’t bear it later on, and casually gave the old man a copy of his medical manuscript to send him away.Wasn't that man Gregory Ravenwood? So h
"That's..." Even Derek himself began to doubt.Was everything that happened before really just a coincidence? Thinking back on Frederick's various unreliable actions, it did make him wonder.Frederick, however, shrugged indifferently. "I don't care. If that's what you think, then let Ms. Schneider treat the illness. I'm going back to sleep."There was no loss to him if he put aside the urge to help and respected others' destinies.Watching Frederick walk away, Derek couldn't shake off his unease. Several times, he wanted to catch up and stop him, but Charles firmly pressed his shoulder."Derek, let that scammer go. Now that we have Ms, Schneider, we don't need him anymore," said Charles.Meanwhile, Willa gazed at Frederick, feeling strangely disappointed. ‘Strange… Why do I feel unhappy? Just because of a scoundrel like him? No, it's not worth it!’She gritted her teeth, and silently resolved to herself.Meanwhile, Melanie confidently lifted Helena and said calmly, "Don't wor
