Jennifer almost spit out her tea when she heard that.800,000 per 2.5kg?! Xerxes was certainly generous! Though the taste wasn’t great, its rarity made it valuable. The wealthy often loved spending money on such exotic items.Next to her, Frederick actually did spit out the tea, frowning. "What kind of terrible tea is this? It’s not even as good as our normal black tea that costs just a few bucks! 800,000? That's just a scam!"Jennifer’s hand shook involuntarily, and Xerxes’s smile froze for a split second.Jennifer quickly stood up to explain. "Granduncle Xerxes, please don’t mind him! My boyfriend is a soldier, and is used to rougher conditions. He doesn't appreciate the finer things."Xerxes chuckled. "Why are you saying these things? I'm your elder, Jen. Do you think I would take offense at you youngsters?"Jennifer wiped the cold sweat from her brow. "Thank you for your understanding, Granduncle Xerxes. To be honest, besides visiting you, I also have something else to disc

Before Frederick could react, Jennifer shot him a cold glare, signaling him to hold back. He was taken aback. Damn, did she have to be so fierce?Jennifer turned back and said sincerely, "Great-grandmother, whether you believe it or not, I swear I’m different from the rest of the Yorks."Xerxes chimed in, "She's right, Mom. Jen’s incredibly talented. She’s already leading Prospera Corporation at such a young age, and plans to expand into Centropolis!"Margaret's face darkened. "So, you plan to work with her? Have you forgotten to consult Lord Blau first?"Xerxes shivered. "I almost forgot! My business has thrived over the years thanks to Lord Blau's guidance!"Jennifer was curious. "Granduncle Xerxes, who is this person you're talking about?"At that moment, the old Taoist priest carrying a flowing whisk opened one eye theatrically. "Just a wandering free spirit," he said cryptically.Xerxes declared dramatically, "Nonsense! Mr. Luther Blau is a mystic! He's a learned Taoist

Bam!The enchanted wooden staff came down hard, but it didn’t land on Jennifer’s back.Luther’s eyes nearly popped out of his head as he stared at his empty hands in shock. "Where’s the staff?"“Right here,” Frederick said, twirling the wooden staff in his hand with a mischievous smile.Luther trembled, his voice shaking. “What are you doing? Interrupting my ritual will bring divine retribution! Do you understand?!”Frederick shrugged. “I’m not worried. I don’t fear the heavens, so why would I fear retribution?”The entire room froze, and everyone's expression suddenly changed.Margaret was furious. “Shut your mouth! Such blasphemous talk! Do you want our family to be struck down?”Xerxes’s face darkened. “Boy, you should remember that the heavens are always watching. I advise you to choose your words carefully, or else, you and Jennifer can leave right now, and this conversation will be over.”“No! Uncle Xerxes, that’s just Frederick’s opinion, not mine,” Jennifer said.Then

To make Fortune Five Enterprise's stock hit the upper limit, something monumental would have to happen—like Fortune Five Enterprise securing a massive project in the Imperial Capital, or releasing an exceptional annual financial report. However, such events were out of Felix’s reach due to his limited influence and connections, which were primarily confined to Aston State.Frederick, just a young subsidiary manager, had no means to cause such a spike in Fortune Five Enterprise’s stock. So how could he achieve it?“Frederick, did you get some insider information that Fortune Five Enterprise’s stock will hit the upper limit this afternoon? Is someone manipulating the stock price?” Jennifer whispered in disbelief.But if it was insider trading, it would never escape the notice of Xerxes, known as the godfather of Aston State’s stock market. Their chances seemed slim.Frederick winked playfully. “Take a guess.”Jennifer’s jaw dropped. “You didn’t just...make this up, did you?”“I

"Jennifer! Are you threatening me?" Xerxes quivered with rage. "Show some respect! I’m your elder by two generations! I’m your granduncle!"Jennifer's face was stern. "If you side with the Yorks, then you’re no longer my elder. You’re my enemy!"She continued, "I can accept you kicking us out, but I cannot accept you colluding with the Yorks!"That was her bottom line. Jennifer could endure numerous slights, insults, and exclusions—but never betrayal. Otherwise, she would rather go down fighting, taking her betrayers with her!Xerxes was intimidated by her determination, and said reluctantly, "Fine! I’ll send Xavier’s butler away.""No need," Frederick interjected calmly. "I took care of that problem for you on my way back."Jennifer was taken aback, then looked at Frederick with newfound admiration. This man really knew how to handle things!Xerxes was stunned for a few seconds, then his face contorted in fury. "Go check on Xavier’s butler!"One of the servants, pale and tre
