Then, Fred supported his adoptive parents and turned to leave.Once the Ingrams recovered from their shock, their wails could be heard. …“Sigh… He didn’t use to be like that!”Iris could not help but lament as they left the restaurant. “The dark side of money!”The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.Iris was utterly disappointed that the blind date she had been looking forward to had ended on such sour terms.Still, kind as she was, she turned to tell Fred, “Fred, it’s never good to be too extreme! T-The Ingrams were wrong, yes, but…”“Mom, there are consequences to mistakes. Without learning the consequences, they’re only going to do it again and again.”It was rare for Fred to interrupt Iris, and he continued solemnly, “It just so happens that it was me this time, so they lost. But what if it had been someone else? Or what if I wasn’t the chairman of Fantastic Group? Would they have gone easy on us?”Iris could not refute that logic and sighed.Beside them

When everyone belittled him, a little bit of kindness went a long way.That was why Fred immediately rushed over when Eric fell sick and called for the most experienced doctors like Hunter to consult.“I’m ashamed that you would still greet me as your father-in-law, Fred.”With Fred’s help, Eric slowly sat down and said with a wry smile, “Valerie’s grandfather told me before that your identity was much more powerful than I could imagine. He told me that you only agreed to be our live-in son-in-law because he shamelessly begged for it…”Fred did not reply nor deny what he said because that was the truth.The Cadmans were too insignificant to warrant Fred’s attention.However, old Mr. Cadman’s efforts in protecting Peach Blossom Village against all odds when that incident happened were not for naught. For that, Fred owed old Mr. Cadman a favor.This was why Fred agreed to give the Cadmans a chance when old Mr. Cadman pleaded with him. He agreed to marry into the Cadmans as their l

The fact that she was going to host her wedding in Fred’s restaurant was just…Was she trying to dig her own grave?Yet it seemed like Tyne underestimated how far Valerie’s lack of hindsight went.Valerie then asked, “Tyne, could I discuss something with you?”“What is it?”“Since you’re the secretary of Fantastic Group’s chairman, do you think you could ask him to officiate Yousef’s and my wedding? He’s your boss, right?” Valerie asked expectantly.Pfft!Tyne spat out the coffee in her mouth.…“You have to help me ask, okay? You have to!”After bidding Valerie farewell, Tyne returned to Fantastic Group and went straight to Fred’s office.She could tell that Valerie would not stop until she had finished digging her grave and buried herself in it.Tyne had even told Valerie directly that Fred was the chairman of Fantastic Group, but Valerie took it as a joke and paid it no mind.This meant that if everything went according to plan, Valerie would end up marrying Yousef in R

Smack!With a crisp sound, Stellar slapped the lackey across the face. The latter did a 180-degree turn before falling to the ground headfirst.This slap gathered the attention of everyone around. They turned their heads to look at what was happening.Elliot was infuriated by what had happened.‘How dare this wimp bring someone to hit my men?‘He’s gone out of his mind!’Elliot roared, “How dare you, you piece of trash?! How dare you hit my men?!”“So what if I did?”Fred looked up and said.“So what if you did? Haha! Looks like you’ve gotten bolder now that you don’t live with us anymore, huh? Did you think I’d let you do what you want?”Elliot laughed in fury at Fred’s reply and turned to his remaining lackeys, “What the hell are you guys still waiting for? Go and teach this wimp a lesson about respect!”The lackeys moved instantly.However, Stellar seemed to have turned into a brick wall at this moment, keeping the lackeys a meter away from Fred. With exceptional ease, S

That subordinate quickly added, “B-But I heard that it was Fred!”“Again with that trash?”Elmer’s dark expression turned even more cloudy.“How did he get in here?” Elmer roared.“I-I…”The subordinate had only heard about what happened from other people, so he did not have an answer to this question.Thankfully, Valerie spoke up and calmed him, “The auction is starting, Uncle Elmer!”Only then did Elmer suppress his anger.After all, Valerie’s identity was different now that she and Yousef were about to have a wedding. Once the wedding proceeded, Valerie would then be the link between the Cadmans and the Hanks. Elmer no longer dared to vent his anger over Fred onto her anymore and sat down with a scoff.Valerie smiled when she saw Elmer’s reaction.“Looks like the title of Mrs. Hanks has its use. Let’s see if anyone still dares to link me to Fred after the wedding!”Valerie shook her head a bit and threw Fred’s name to the back of her head with disgust. Then, she turned to
