Semua Bab My Boss’ Secret Is My Undoing!: Bab 391 - Bab 400

Jasmine hurried forward to Frederick."Frederick, I suspect there's more to this than meets the eye. Someone must have orchestrated this from behind the scenes. If you rashly take on this mess now, they could use it against us later! It's all risk and no gain for us!" she whispered.The head of security also stepped forward, and said respectfully, "Mr. Lester, there's no need to fear these poor folks. We have over twenty security guards with us, armed and ready. Handling them will be a piece of cake!"Frederick replied firmly, "Enough said. I will make sure they get paid their wages. Because... My dad was also a laborer."As he said this, he felt a complicated mix of emotions.Cyrus used to work tirelessly day and night for the sake of their family. Sometimes, he could only come home once a weeklThese people earned their living with their own hands. They worked hard to support their families, but were still manipulated by heartless bosses. Sometimes, their complaints went unhear

Having said that, Frederick revealed a chilling smile after saying that.Zeke was immediately seized with spasms of fear. "Dad! He's insane! He's a freaking lunatic!""Shut up!" Xavier glared fiercely at Zeke. "All this trouble is because of your incompetence!"Then, he demanded, "Frederick, do you have evidence that he owes over one million in construction fees?" Frederick calmly produced the promissory note. "His signature and stamp are unmistakable, aren't they? The Golden Meadow project was registered under the company, and he was in charge at the time."Frederick sneered. "I've already had someone from the finance department look into this. Back then, every cent of that project was handed over to him. So, the truth is clear! He pocketed that 1.22 million!" he concluded.Zeke shrieked angrily, "Prospera Corporation belongs to our family! So what if I took some money? That's perfectly reasonable! What's it to you? You're just looking for an excuse to pick a fight with us!

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

Xavier had been fine moments ago. How could he suddenly collapse and bleed like this?!The Yorks were instantly thrown into chaos. "Frederick, what did you do to Lord Xavier?!""I just took back what rightfully belongs to me," Frederick replied casually. "Mr. York was already afflicted with natural degradation. It had nothing to do with me. Stop blaming me for everything. By the way, he should have about two hours left to live. Good luck!"With that, Frederick turned and left without another word."Wait! Frederick!"Xavier coughed up blood, and trembled all over. However, his call failed to stop Frederick. The latter had vanished without a trace."Dad! I think this guy is just bluffing!" Zacharias exclaimed desperately."Yeah! He's clearly threatening us! You get a check-up every year, and you're always in good health," Zeke added, trying to reassure himself.But Xavier felt like his world was crumbling. He knew his own body better than anyone else. He hadn't expected that on

Frederick glanced at him indifferently, then cocked his head to look up at the sky."Didn't you say you weren't afraid of death?"Xavier was in a wretched state, and he couldn't care less about dignity at this moment. He pleaded in a low voice, "It's all my fault! It's all on me! Frederick, please, give me the needle! I'm dying! I really can't hold on much longer… I'm afraid of dying! I'm terrified!""You won't die. I've placed a barrier around this entire mountain to suppress your condition. Otherwise, how could you have survived long enough to come see me?" Frederick said, his lips curved into a cold smile.Xavier was stunned, only now realizing several hours had passed. By all rights, he should have died long ago."Listen to me now. I have three demands. If you dare refuse any of them, forget about getting back the needle," Frederick said eloquently. "First, compensate the laborers and give them a public apology. It must be in the newspapers."Xavier agreed without hesitation.
