Cody's smile froze instantly. He felt as if he had been slapped hard across the face, and a burning sensation overwhelmed him!The entire office fell into an eerie silence!Mary and John were ecstatic. "Fred, that was amazing!"Frederick shrugged. As always, Matthew was clever. When he ordered two million, he immediately increased the amount tenfold just to please Frederick.Frederick approached Cody, who was pale as a sheet, and said, "Mr. Scott, I've kept my end of the bargain. Shouldn't you do the same?"Cody sneered and retorted, "You said two million over the phone, but the mayor's office ordered twenty million! The numbers don't add up!"John was indignant. "Mr. Scott, what's the meaning of this? Are you trying to back out?"Cody coldly snorted. "I suspect it's all a coincidence. Frederick is just an inexperienced intern in the corporate world. He must have heard rumors about the mayor's office planning to order our group's product, so he deliberately bet against me!"So, beca

"Frederick, be honest with me. Did you really do all of this?" Jennifer furrowed her brows and questioned, "I know you were unhappy with Mr. Graham this morning, but resorting to such aggressive methods isn't the solution."Frederick was stunned. After standing up for Jennifer, he found himself misunderstood, even choosing to side against him!His heart sank, and he sarcastically replied, "So, you don't even believe me? Fine. If you think it was me, then it was me!" No matter how he explained, it seemed like no one would listen.Jennifer's heart skipped a beat. "I didn't say it was definitely you. I'm just asking," she clarified."How dare you speak to Ms. York like that! Who do you think you are? Ms. York, you must get rid of this troublemaker!" Several of Zeke's lackeys immediately chimed in.Hugh also had a contemptuous expression. "Ms. York, you owe me an explanation. I can't be falsely accused like this," he said as he exchanged a knowing glance with Ivan.Jennifer's c

Ordinary blood rubies usually came in shades of light red to a deeper hue. However, the Majestic Blood Ruby would reflect a golden hue when exposed to sunlight. The blood ruby before them shimmered entirely in gold, dazzling the eyes of all present!In an instant, the entire venue descended into madness! In nearly a decade, the Majestic Blood Ruby had only appeared twice. The first time, a foreign dignitary had offered it as a tribute to Drakonia's emperor. The second time, it was auctioned off at a prestigious international auction for an astonishing thirty billion!Everyone's faces were filled with shock, disbelief, and excitement. It was as if they were witnessing a miraculous event unfold.Inside the Rolls-Royce, Jasmine smiled enchantingly. "I didn't expect Frederick to be so interesting."It seemed Jennifer was hiding something from her. This man was far from simple. Intrigued by Frederick, she softly instructed, "Stephen, let's leave. Once we're home, look into Frede

Jennifer's expression changed instantly, and she kicked Hugh away. "Hugh! What do you think you're doing? Stop this!""Hehe, what am I doing?" Hugh stepped back, smirking coldly. "Jennifer, why are you acting all innocent and virtuous in front of me? Do you think I don't know? You secretly got registered with that loser, Frederick!"You'd rather marry that scumbag than be with me? Fine! I'll shatter all your pride and show you what a real man is!" Hugh lunged at her again like a beast.Jennifer rushed to the door, but it was locked from the outside. Panic washed over her. She had been careless! She thought Hugh wouldn't dare harm her, given her status. But she had underestimated him. He was utterly mad!With a sinister laugh, Hugh said, "This hotel is owned by my people. Do you think you can escape?"Eyes blazing with fury, Jennifer warned, "If you dare lay a finger on me, the entire York family will hunt you down!"Without hesitation, Hugh grabbed her by the hair and thr

Now Jennifer was even more frightened. She trembled as she said, "Frederick, as your superior, I order you not to worry about me. Break through these people on your own. There might still be a chance for you to survive this!"Without saying a word, Frederick immediately reached for Jennifer's slender waist with one hand. He firmly gripped and lifted her onto his shoulder. Grinning, he said, "That's such a chaotic order. Why should I obey it?"He securely held both of her alluring thighs with his hands. He caressed her tender and smooth skin with his coarse hands and even unintentionally squeezed her round buttocks!Jennifer's face instantly turned red!She struggled for a moment but eventually gave up.She said angrily, "Don't sweet-talk me. If you don't leave now, I'll fire you!""Even if you fire me, I'll still get you out of here!" Frederick stated firmly.Jennifer suddenly froze, tears streaming down her face. "Thank you... thank you!"Frederick was stunned on the spot.
