"You misunderstood me," Fredrick said calmly. "I did not say I agreed for him to be the vice president. You misinterpreted my words."
they all looked at Fredrick, confusion and shock were evident on their faces. He had just dropped a bombshell on them, and they were struggling to comprehend the gravity of the situation. His father was the most stunned of them all, his mouth gaping open in shock.Cassandra was also in shock. "But you said okay just now, right? Did I hear it wrongly?" she asked Robert, hoping for an explanation.Robert, however, was confident. "Brother, you agreed just now," he said firmly.Fredrick shook his head. "I was not through with my words. You guys celebrated too soon. Even if I really agreed and I decided not to agree anymore, what can you do about it? Do you have any evidence? You can take me to court, so I will see who will win," he said with a cold smile.Robert's face turned pale. He knew that FreRelated chapters
The Billionaire's Seduction 30
As the first rays of sunlight crept through the curtains and danced on her face, she stirred in her sleep. Slowly, she opened her eyes and yawned, feeling refreshed and renewed from a good night's sleep. She felt the warmth of the sun on her skin, and a gentle breeze blew through the open window, carrying with it the sweet scent of blooming flowers. With a stretch of her arms and legs, she got out of bed, feeling the energy coursing through her veins. She walked towards the bathroom, relishing the cool tiles on her bare feet, and turned on the shower. The sound of water cascading down the walls was a symphony to her ears as she stepped under the soothing streams, feeling every drop wash away the remnants of sleep. As she stepped out of the shower, she felt a sense of calm wash over her. Wrapped in a fluffy towel, she walked out into the bedroom, feeling the soft carpet tickle her toes. She opened her wardrobe, letting the scent of freshly laundered clothes fill h

She sighed and accept her situation silently. She walked into the coffee room. She could remember when she was here at her first time here.She finished making the coffee and walked out of the coffee. She suddenly collided with someone making the coffee spill in the person's body. She tried to avoid the person but it was too late.Shawty was stunned."Are you alright?" She asked immediately she saw this.It was a woman, probably one of a female employee here."Do I look like I am alright?" The woman snapped angrily."I am so sorry, I did not ... " "Can your sorry do anything? Can it make my clothes as neat and dry like it was before?" The lady asked with an angry expression.Shawty looked at the woman, she could see the frustration and irritation on her face. The coffee had spilled all over her clothes, leaving a big brown stain. Shawty felt terrible and embarrassed, wishing that she could undo what had ju

Shawty walked away. Her figure looked lonely. Fredrick felt his heart ache for her; he hated how sad she looked. She stood on the balcony, looking at the distance in a daze; she was not looking at anything in particular. Frederick walked towards her and stood quietly beside her to keep her company. They stood there for a few hours; no one said anything, but it was peaceful. "Maybe she is really right." Shawty finally spoke up after a few hours of silence. "I am bad luck; I guess it was my bad luck that made my parents die," she said, feeling melancholy. "Shhh, you are not bad luck; you don’t have to care about that nonsense that woman said," Frederick said. Shawty chuckled. "I know you are just trying to console me," she said. "It is a fact! I keep getting important contracts since you followed me back; I never regret it," he told her."Really? You really signed important contracts after I arriv

Shawty nodded obediently and asked, "Can you bring me to my parents graveyard?" She requested. Fredrick wanted to reject her request because it would be cold and chilly outside and she might catch a cold. "Please…" She begged in a low tone. She looked a little pitiful with her puffy eyes. "But..." Fredrick hesitated. Her eyes fell, and she looked disappointed when she saw him hesitating. "You can’t...?" She asked sadly. Fredrick took a deep breath and sighed helplessly, "Fine, but you must listen to whatever I say, okay?" He said it with a hint of warning. Shawty nodded without hesitation. She does not know why, but she feels that she could trust him. Her heart was filled with warmth right now. Whenever she is sad, there is no one beside her to console her. In the company where she works, they only see her as a money tree because of how perfectly she always completes the mission. After Leonard, who is the boss of

Was what Fredrick said really correct?She thought doubtfully. Are parents truly happy that they are together? If that is really true, then her mission would have to be dropped, or it would surely make her parents unhappy with her. She shook her head. No, she cannot let her parents be unhappy with her. She had to drop it."You can also see that your parents love you. This ray of light means they have forgiven you, okay? So don’t make them unhappy again." Fredrick’s voice broke her thoughts. Shawty snapped out of her thoughts and nodded. She smiled at him and thanked him sincerely, "Thank you." "It is fine." He caressed her cheek. His eyes fell on her soft, cherry-pink lips. He could not help but lean closer to her, but he immediately stopped himself. What are you doing? She is sad; don’t go overboard. He scolded himself. Shawty blinked her eyes at him and looked at h

Shawty did not reply to his question again. Fredrick was not mad; he just smiled. "Let’s make a deal." Shawty's ears perked up when she heard his words. "What deal?" she asked. "I’ll help you regain your freedom and make Leonard not disturb you anymore," he said with a smile. Shawty was not the least excited when she heard his words. Like, how the hell will one make a deal with someone and not expect something in return? It seems too good to be true. "What are you gaining from it?" She asked with a raised eyebrow."Marry me," he said. Shawty was dumbfounded. She was expecting him to have a list of requests, but marriage was not on the list, she thought. She frowned and rejected him without hesitation: "No way!" She said. "I thought you said you wanted to repent when we were at the graveyard today? Are you still considering joining back?" He asked with an annoyed expression.

There was silence on the phone for a few seconds, but Shawty knew her guess was right when she saw this.Her lips curled up in a mocking smile.She hung up the phone without hesitation.It seems she is really stupid, like Frederick says, or was she just pretending to be stupid? She knew deep down in her heart that Fredrick was right, but she just did not want to admit it and choose to believe. But her eyes were widened to reality now.She sighed and lay down on the bed. She used the quilt to cover her body, her eyes fixed on the ceiling.Beep! Her phone beeped.She knew it was a text message because it only does that whenever she has a text message.She picked up her phone and unlocked it.It was Leonard."It seems you still don’t believe whatever I say. Anyway, hurry up with the mission and come back. Don’t forget that Emily, your sister, is still waiting for you." That was the text message.Her heart turned cold.How can she forget about Emily?The text message looked like it was
