Jennifer felt utterly humiliated when Frederick made a move on her in public. How could she ever show her face again after this? As a strong woman, she knew she couldn't afford to lose her composure in front of such a scoundrel like him.But... Frederick's touch on her inner thigh sent shivers through her body. It rendered her speechless and paralyzed. "Stop...or else...there will be consequences," she managed to murmur weakly.Frederick withdrew his hand with a smirk. "Just a massage to relieve your fatigue, Ms. York."Meanwhile, the men from the Public Works Department across the table were seething with anger. Particularly Walter, with his hand pierced. He was livid. "You two won't escape! I'll make sure you pay with your lives!"Frederick lunged forward in a flash, piercing another fork through Walter's other hand. "Looks like someone's itching for more! Might as well take both hands!" Blood splattered everywhere; Walter staggered back in pain, his features contorted
The atmosphere grew tense and eerie.Jennifer pretended not to see anything, while Frederick lifted his chin and sneered, "I heard you really wanted to see me break an arm, huh?"Walter's face alternated between white and red. "I am the chief of the Public Works Department!""Even if you’re the king's own son, it’s useless!" Frederick retorted. He delivered a swift kick that sent Walter sprawling, coughing up a mix of alcohol and supplements."Cough!" Walter writhed on the ground, clutching his stomach hysterically."Quick! Call the police! Attempted murder of a government official is a serious offense! Call the law enforcement team! Get the law enforcement team to come and deal with them!" he screamed, frantic.The men from the Public Works Department scrambled to make phone calls. Soon after, a large contingent of law enforcement officers descended upon the hotel, surrounding the area completely.Thanks to Glen having evacuated his people beforehand, the officers faced no
"It seems you've been in the dark about the shady dealings of your company's board of directors, Ms. York," Walter said, emphasizing every word. "Under Xavier's leadership, they've been colluding to embezzle funds from Prospera Corporation."For instance, this real estate project. Although they’re leading it, one-third of the funds have ended up in their own pockets."We, the Public Works Department, initially discovered the falsified accounts. But Zeke promptly handed a five-million-dollar bribe to the former chief to cover it up."These inside revelations naturally couldn't escape the competent supervisory units like the Public Works Department.Jennifer heard this, and was shaken to the core. Her jaw dropped in disbelief. "One-third? Am I hearing this right?"The funds involved in real estate projects were massive, often amounting to hundreds of millions. Yet, a staggering one-third had been embezzled by the board of directors. The amount would be a truly shocking figure!"Wha
"You're fired," a tall, striking woman announced. She wore a black pencil skirt, and her demeanor was cool and distant.Frederick Lester swallowed harshly as he looked at the woman's beautiful figure and tried not to let his eyes wander.The woman was Jennifer York, the recently appointed Vice President of the corporation. At twenty-seven, she was a highly educated returnee with a Ph.D. and dual degrees. She was also rumored to earn an incredibly high annual salary of as high as one billion!Today was her first day, and it had been full of tough interviews and layoffs.Someone from HR came up and tapped him on the shoulder. "Frederick, it's your turn." Frederick nervously entered her office. "Ms. York, you wanted to see me?"But as he entered, he saw Jennifer on the floor. She was obviously in distress, and her breathing was heavy!Frederick's concern spiked, and his heart raced.He had to do something!Despite her situation, her beauty was undeniable. He couldn't help bu
Marissa grabbed her bag and stood up. She sneered and said, "I'm a graduate of a prestigious university and a senior employee at a Fortune 500 company! I earn twenty thousand a month, own two cars, and a house!"You make less than four thousand, and you're a nobody. How dare you think of dating me?!"I assumed you were some charming, wealthy heir. But a twenty-five-year-old with neither a car nor a house? What a disappointment! How can you be so shameless to even show up here?!"Marissa pointed a finger accusingly at Frederick, her words cutting like a knife.Frederick's face turned icy in an instant. If this were Belleria, a woman like her would never get away with such behavior!When the situation escalated, Sylvia quickly stepped in and said, "Marissa, even though Fred doesn't have a car or house right now, he's down-to-earth and full of potential...""Back off! Don't touch me, you old hag!" Marissa yelled and rudely shoved Sylvia aside."Don't touch my mom!" Frederick said
"Huh?!"Frederick stood there, completely baffled."What's with that look? Don't tell me you've forgotten me already?! We just met today!"Jennifer's frustration was obvious when she saw Frederick frozen in place. She grabbed his arm and ushered him into the Bentley before driving off quickly.The onlookers were abuzz with whispers and speculation!This stunning woman had come for Frederick!Marissa's mouth fell open in disbelief. Why had such a gorgeous woman come for a nobody like Frederick?!Lucy looked as though she had seen a ghost."Sylvia, your son... has already gotten himself a wealthy partner?! Why did you even set up this blind date, then? Were you toying with us?!"Sylvia was equally puzzled.When did her son know someone so prominent?-The Bentley eventually stopped in a quiet spot. Jennifer's dress had a plunging neckline and was eye-catching.Frederick sat in the passenger seat and tried not to stare as he asked hesitantly, "Ms. York, why did you come for
The man they were here for was the Dark Monarch of the Northern Frontier, a pillar of the nation, and one of the pinnacle figures of power in Drakonia!By establishing a relationship with the Dark Monarch, they could soar to great heights with limitless prospects!"It seems that you both have also heard the news. The Dark Monarch has been frequenting this restaurant that's popular for matchmaking lately," Matthew said with a smirk. "Looks like I'll have to keep a close watch from now on. Can't let you guys get ahead of me!"All three knew deep down the terrifying power of the Dark Monarch! He was someone even the kings of the West would bow down to!Even if they couldn't flatter him, they had to maintain good relations. Otherwise, if the Dark Monarch became enraged, countless would perish, and rivers of blood would flow!If he wished it, the Dark Monarch could obliterate the three powerhouses in an instant!"I've heard that Lord Hades has now settled in Mirage City. I'll find him
"Um..." Frederick was dumbfounded and somewhat embarrassed."Hurry up! Didn't you hear me? Otherwise, I'll fire you immediately!" Jennifer hissed in a low voice.She deliberately approached Frederick, her curvy figure and fair skin flashing in a tempting manner before him.Frederick gritted his teeth and reached out, boldly squeezing a sensitive part of her body tightly!Jennifer's expression changed instantly. She trembled slightly and gave him a cold glare. Yes, she had commanded him to touch her... But how dare he touch her so audaciously, especially in the most sensitive place! Struggling not to cry out, she maintained a composed facade and said, "See? We genuinely love each other. Dad, Uncle, just give up!""Nonsense! Jennifer! I don't care about your relationship with this lowly man. You must marry the Tiger Faction's heir!" Zeke erupted in anger, striding forward to slap Jennifer across the face.Jennifer staggered back three steps, her cheek reddening instantly."T
