"Yeah! They must have left their numbers, right? Let's call them one by one!" Zeke was excited, gesturing enthusiastically. "Let's do it right here, so that no one will spill the beans!"Ever since Frederick ousted Zeke's trusted men, Cody and Ivan, he harbored a deep grudge against Frederick. Unfortunately, Jennifer always protected him. But now, he finally had a chance to get rid of this thorn in his side!The other board members nodded in agreement. "This sounds like a feasible plan.""Alright," Jennifer reluctantly agreed. It was expected that a small team like Team Seven would suddenly make the situation tense. She regretted her impulsive decision to appoint Frederick as the team leader. It seemed she had bitten off more than she could chew.'Frederick, you better not mess things up. Otherwise, even I might not be able to save you!' Jennifer thought to herself as she clenched her fists nervously. But then she thought, how could they have filled that eighteen million gap
She was the daughter of the Northern Chiusil military mogul, a top figure in the Chiusil military. Even members of the Great Four Warrior Clans had to watch their step when they visited the Atlantis Club!"Hello? Why aren't you saying anything? If there's nothing, I'll hang up!" Aleena muttered a few words before hanging up. "What strange people!"Zeke was left feeling defeated. "Aleena Schultz? How could it be…?"They were supposed to find the connections of those losers in Team Seven. They knew these people's backgrounds inside out; there was no way anybody in Team Seven would know anyone like Charles or Aleena. In other words, even the backers of those second-generation rich kids couldn't match up to these big shots."I don't believe it! We've called several of them, and not one of them is a connection!" Zeke exclaimed, immediately dialing another unknown number. However, the voice on the other end nearly scared him out of his wits. "This is Derek Sullivan. What is it?"Zeke
"Mr. Lester, your throat must be parched after all that talking. Here, have some tea!""Mr. Lester, are my massage skills still up to par?""Oh my, Mr. Lester, this chair is so uncomfortable! Sit on mine! It's ergonomic!"A dozen or so second-generation rich kids surrounded Frederick. They massaged his legs, washed his feet, and cut fruits for him. They fawned over him like they were his servants.Jennifer strode in, and asked in an incredulous tone, "What's going on here?""Ms. York, I didn't force them to do this. They volunteered! Can't help it, their hospitality knows no bounds." Frederick shrugged, looking unruffled.Then, he spread his arms and said, "Pour the water for my foot wash down the toilet later. Quit drinking it in secret! It's useless!""Something touched by the aura of a big shot can't be useless, Boss! At least it'll make us one-thousandth as magnificent as a big shot!" the group replied happily.Their flattery was reaching astronomical heights!Jennifer's e
Jennifer wasn't foolish, and she wasn't about to buy into Donovan's sweet talk. She remained seated, and said indifferently, "Officer Sanders… Oh, sorry, I mean Mr. Sanders. What brings you to Prospera Corporation?""One is to see you. Look, these blue roses were deliberately air-flown from the Southern Hemisphere. You can't even buy them in Mirage City!" Donovan's face beamed with pride. "And these foreign large diamonds are top-notch. They're absolutely rare treasures that would make many women scream. They complement your unique aura perfectly."Jennifer, however, simply crossed her long legs, wrapped in black stockings, and said casually, "Thank you for the gifts. Now, what's your other purpose?"She had long since detected that there was more to his visit than met the eye.Donovan didn't beat around the bush. He smiled and said, "Jen, you're as sharp as ever, and I admire that. To be frank, I've recently joined Campbell Pharmaceutical as the Product Department Manager."Donov
"Uncle Zeke, I don't care how much money you've taken from the Campbells, or how badly you want to suck up to them. I'll never agree to this! As long as I'm the CEO of Prospera Corporation, the beauty formula will not be shared with any other company!"Jennifer's voice was firm and resolute.Zeke's face contorted with rage in an instant."You're damn well accusing me! You motherless bitch, how dare you..."Jennifer didn't even look back; she just turned and walked away, ignoring his insults completely.Meanwhile, Frederick happened to arrive, wanting to see what was happening. He ended up running into Donovan and Zeke head-on.As soon as they saw Frederick, both of their eyes filled with disdain."Why are you here, you pathetic loser? Instead of working hard and buying your boss a fancy car, what are you doing here?""Oh, what rotten luck! I was just strolling around and bumped into two dogs! And not just any dogs, but mangy ones, ugh!" Frederick shot back.He yawned, ignoring
Hearing that, Frederick almost choked on his saliva. "Isn't that question a bit too direct, Ms. York?""Just answer, yes or no?" Jennifer insisted."Yes," Frederick admitted, "but it's just a passing thought..."A cold smirk formed on Jennifer's lips. "That's the answer I wanted to hear. At least it's not some hypocritical response."She had seen too many men who lusted after her but pretended to be gentlemen in front of her, which disgusted her."Alright, Frederick, I'll give you a chance now. Remember, you only have this one opportunity!" Jennifer stepped on the gas, and they arrived at a lively bar.The place was filled with boldly dressed patrons; there were some unspeakable sounds coming from dark corners."Waiter, bring two cases of vodka! And also, prepare some white wine, the brand I usually like," Jennifer instructed confidently, as if she knew the place well.Frederick was stunned. Did his icy boss come here often?"Let's drink!" Jennifer's eyes blazed as she pushe
Frederick froze in an instant, his mind going blank."I brought my ID..."Jennifer's face was inches away from his. There was anticipation on her face—as if she was waiting for something—and the atmosphere was engulfed in silence.Her gaze was intense, her eyes burning brightly. They were like a powder keg, about to explode any moment.After half a second, Frederick suddenly let go of her arm.He told her seriously, "Ms. York, I... I don't like taking advantage of the situation. I know you're upset, and you want to let loose and forget all your troubles. But doing it this way is just turning a blind eye to the problem and deceiving yourself. Escaping reality can never turn it into reality." Ultimately, Frederick suppressed the fire raging within him, and said earnestly, "So, I won't do that kind of thing with you now."The current Jennifer wasn't doing this out of genuine feelings, but rather out of revenge against herself and the world.She was just drunk and had lost her sen
"You're insane!" Jennifer erupted in anger, slapping Isaac across the face.He held his cheek, shocked. "What... what do you mean? Can't let loose here? We can go to a hotel!""Idiot!" Jennifer kicked him in the crotch, causing Isaac to wince in pain."Damn it! We're here, and you're acting all high and mighty! With my status, I could easily get any woman I want, even someone like you!" Isaac seethed. "If I want something, my fans outside will obediently line up for me!"You look like you're in your mid-twenties, right? You're older than me. If I'm interested in you, it's your lucky day, old hag! Don't play hard to get after benefiting from me!"Jennifer remained icy all the way. "I don't care who you are in the entertainment world, or how influential you think you are. If you dare lay a finger on me, you'll pay the price!"With that, she lifted her chin and moved to leave. However, Isaac blocked her path at the door."I know you're playing hard to get! Do you need money? Or do
