Vivianne's eyes widened in disbelief and anger as she saw the people inside the private room.With a swift and powerful kick, she flung open the door. Frederick watched in surprise, unsure of what had incited such wrath.Vivianne's voice crackled with anger as she faced the group, "So, you fancy yourselves big shots, huh? After leaving me hanging, you decide to dine right next door to me? Is this some kind of sick joke?"It turned out that the pharmaceutical CEOs Vivianne had scheduled a meeting with were all gathered here, enjoying a meal with Grace and her associates.Lawrance, one of the executives who had agreed to meet with Vivianne the day before, was at the table. His face turned red with embarrassment as she confronted him."Ms. Danbury, please, allow me to explain..." he stuttered.With biting sarcasm, Vivianne responded, "Please, do enlighten me. Why did you tell me yesterday about canceling the partnership with the Miller family, only to end up celebrating a collaborat

Although Priscilla and Frederick were together, Frederick had no intention of meddling in Priscilla's business affairs.However, something struck him as odd. George and Wade looked more like father and son than uncle and nephew.Priscilla's expression flickered at George's words. While she hadn't officially agreed to Wade's request, she wouldn't embarrass him in front of everyone by refusing the invitation he'd obtained for her.The few CEOs around originally felt a bit guilty toward Vivianne.Last night, they suddenly received a call from Grace. They thought Grace wanted to talk about cooperation with them, so they directly refused.To their surprise, Grace revealed the Miller family had received an invitation from the Monroe family. She threatened dire consequences if they dared to back out of their deals with Priscilla.They didn't believe that Priscilla could receive an invitation from the Monroe family. But when Grace appeared in front of them with the invitation, they were

Seeing the opportunity to exact revenge for the humiliation he had suffered at Frederick's hands, Wade quickly rose to his feet."Stop right there!"Vivianne could no longer suppress her anger and declared with her chest puffed out, "What? You want to fight, huh?"She pushed Frederick in front of her. Seeing Frederick standing straight before Vivianne, Wade instantly backed down, swallowing nervously and instinctively hiding behind George."Uncle George, Frederick is a skilled fighter. Even together, we're no match for him."George's brow furrowed. The information he had gathered on Frederick didn't mention his fighting prowess. But what did fighting skills matter in this situation?"So what? He wouldn't dare hit me. Striking me would be making an enemy of the Monroe family. Does the Danbury family want to be erased from Jenaire City?"Wade's heart leaped with relief. Even if Frederick was a skilled fighter, he wouldn't dare to attack George.Just then, George's phone rang. He

Earl observed Frederick from afar.Despite scrutinizing him, he couldn't see anything particularly noteworthy about him. Nevertheless, he decided to probe cautiously, "Young man, are you acquainted with Mr. Sirius?"Frederick shook his head slightly; he didn't know Mr. Sirius personally. Their only interaction had been an unexpected phone call from him. "I'm not familiar with Mr. Sirius, and Gerard is the only member of the Monroe family I know."Wade laughed out loud from the side. "Still boasting, huh? You don't even know Mr. Sirius; why would he respect you? And who is this Gerard Monroe? Who knows, who or what is this Gerard anyway?"Just as Wade finished speaking, George, who had always doted on him, suddenly slapped Wade across his cheek.Wade's face had already been injured repeatedly, and though George's slap wasn't as forceful as Frederick's or Tyger's, it still stung enough to make him wince."Uncle George, why did you hit me?" he complained.George glared, winking fra

Earl's expression was unusually serious as he pulled a red, gold-embossed invitation from his jacket and walked shakily over to Vivianne."Ms. Danbury, this is from Mr. Sirius."Earl had only known to deliver the invitation to Vivianne Danbury, without knowing her appearance, which had led to the confusion.A thrill of excitement coursed through Vivianne as she accepted the invitation. She unfolded the card with trembling hands and saw her name emblazoned across the page."See, I told you!"Triumph flashed in her eyes as she glanced at George. "Didn't you promise to kneel if I had an invitation?"George swallowed hard, now cautious not to offend Vivianne further, but kneeling was out of the question.He stammered, "It was a joke, you can't take it seriously.""You!" Vivianne's face darkened, but there was little she could do.At that moment, Frederick stepped forward. "So, your repeated demands for Vivianne to kneel were also a joke?"George was momentarily speechless and poi
