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
Isaac was taken aback. He realized the man Jennifer had scolded earlier had returned. He couldn't help but sneer, "Buddy, what? Back for more? Can't resist being a lapdog, huh? Too bad, you little sheep. You'll soon see your woman trampled by my fans!" He grinned maliciously. "In my eyes, she's just a plaything to be toyed with anytime, anywhere!"Frederick smirked. "So you’re behind all this, huh? Why throw mud at Ms. York?"He had gone out to call a driver, and returned to find out about Jennifer's situation. A quick glance around revealed the sneaky figure of Isaac."Hah! Those are baseless accusations. You better watch your mouth!" Isaac denied instinctively. Then, he chuckled coldly. "Wait a minute! What do I have to hide from you? What can a waste of air like you do even if you know? Yeah, it was me!""Alright, thanks." Frederick smiled lightly. He exerted force on his hand that was resting on Isaac's shoulder, and lifted the man up in the air. It was like lifting a f
Frederick paid no attention to the people around him as he dialed a number. "Hey, Derek, are you there?"Derek was currently hosting a high-level meeting attended by famous CEOs. As soon as he saw Frederick's call, he excused himself and rushed out to answer. "Mr. Lester, I'm here! How can I assist you?"He groveled like a pet dog, completely subservient. The executives in the meeting room were all dumbfounded. Who was that on the call? Why was Derek acting so respectfully? Even the governor of Aston State couldn't make Derek bend over backward like this!"Is Mythical Media your company?" Frederick calmly inquired."Mythical Media?" Derek paused as he listened to Frederick's words, then barged into the meeting room and raised his voice. "Hey, who's the CEO of Mythical Media? Stand up!"Instantly, everyone was petrified.A man with a Mediterranean hairstyle stood up nervously. "What's wrong, Mr. Sullivan?""Does your company have an artist named Isaac under contract?" Derek a
The moment Isaac heard that, he seemed to have been struck by a bolt of lightning. His face turned ashen, and he exclaimed, "Why?! What did I do? This isn't fair! I need to talk to my agent and the department head! They won't abandon me!""Don't you know what you did?" his boss roared. "Your actions have cost the company over ten million dollars, and more than a hundred employees lost their jobs because of you! Everyone who supported you is already out of the picture!"Isaac's boss continued angrily, "Every entertainment company in Mirage City and even Aston State have been notified to blacklist you! You'll never step foot in the entertainment industry ever again!"Hearing this, Isaac collapsed to the ground like a deflated balloon, his face drained of color. In an instant, he went from a superstar to a pariah.The shock was overwhelming.Isaac suddenly looked up, and saw Frederick's mocking expression. Realization hit him like a ton of bricks, and he shouted, "It was you! You d
