"Ms. York? Why are you here?" Frederick exclaimed in surprise.The tremors ceased abruptly.Frederick saw Zacharias accompanying Jennifer, and everything became clear. Xavier was indeed a cunning fox. He had secretly contacted Jennifer as soon as Frederick arrived, which explained her swift arrival.The Yorks had initially been nervous and fearful. When they saw Jennifer, their attitude suddenly took a drastic turn."Haha! Finally, someone who can control this guy has arrived!""In the end, she's still part of our family. She won't tolerate her subordinate ruining us!"Xavier also became more confident at the change of situation. "Jen, look! This is the subordinate you’ve carefully nurtured! He wants us to apologize publicly and threatened to destroy our home! What's the meaning of this?" he lashed out angrily. When Jennifer heard this, her expression alternated between turning pale and flushing red. "Grandfather, this is a misunderstanding. I received feedback today that
As soon as Frederick said those words, the entire room fell into pin-drop silence. The Yorks looked at each other in disbelief. Did Frederick really just ignore Jennifer's words?Xavier was furious, and he trembled in anger. "This is outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!"Zeke's expression turned ugly, and he roared, "What else do you want? I’ve already apologized to you! Do you have to rub it in?"Frederick retorted sarcastically, "You're right! I do intend to rub it in. How you interpret that is up to you! In any case, the Yorks must issue a public apology. Zeke, you must publicly apologize to the laborers!""Frederick!" Jennifer's face immediately darkened.Normally, Frederick would back down when things got heated. However, he was completely different today.But Frederick retorted, "Ms. York, there's no need to persuade me. Though you didn't have the best childhood, you were still privileged to study abroad in developed countries. You don't understand the hardships of common p
Zeke and Zacharias slapped their heads in sudden realization. "Yeah, that's right! No matter what, we're Jennifer's family! If he kills us, it's pure evil, heinous karma! He might as well be damned!""If that happens, staying married to Jennifer would be a fool's dream! It goes against all ethics, and the heavens would condemn him!""He loves Jennifer so much. He definitely wouldn't dare touch us!"When Frederick heard this, his expression did indeed change.Xavier seized the perfect opportunity, and sneered darkly. "How about that? Did I hit the nail on the head? Experience counts, Frederick. In my eyes, you're just a small fry."The other Yorks joined in laughter, one after another. It seemed they were certain Frederick wouldn't dare go on a killing spree.Frederick smirked. "You're right. For Ms. York's sake, I can't kill you."Hearing this, the Yorks became even more arrogant. "Hmph! After all this talk, it turns out you're just a cowardly bully!""Frederick, go ahead and
"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
