"What the hell are you doing?

" Jeremy wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and pushed Frederick away., As soon as he stood back up, Frederick punched him again.

"What do you think I'm doing?

",

"Frederick!

", Jeremy lifted his hand to punch back. He raised his guard first and took a sideways stance. Frederick dodged and returned a punch to his chest. Jeremy wobbled, but Frederick had pulled his tie and grabbed his neck.,

"Never harass her ever again!

",

"How dare you say that to me? You should know better! You don't even appreciate her!

" Jeremy was infuriated as he roared. He pushed Frederick away while holding back his anger. Then, he raised his fists to attack., He snapped,

"You don't deserve her at all!

", Frederick took a few beatings on his body while he tried to dodge Jeremy's attacks. Soon, he also turned the tables and retaliated.,

"She's my wife, my woman! It's not up to you to decide whether I'm worthy of her!

", The two of them fought for a long time. The office ended up in a mess, and both of their fists collided with each other. In the heat of the moment, both of them lost their momentum and were repelled away from each other due to the collision., They rested for a while to catch their breath. Frederick then adjusted his suit.,

"Jeremy, I'm warning you, stay away from her and don't ever harm her again! I came today wasn't because I'm afraid of you, nor because I can't do anything to you. It's because we have no deep hatred between us. I don't want to make a big fuss and waste my energy dealing with you anymore.

", As he gave him a cold stare, Frederick continued speaking.,

"As a businessman, I admire you in some aspects. Although I don't have an interest in ruining people's lives and making enemies, that doesn't mean I am not afraid to. This is the last time I'm warning you! I'll break your legs if I ever come back again! For the sake of Alicia, I will do anything. Don't test my patience, and I'll make sure there's no next time. The reason why Pitchers Company has the technology it has now isn't only because of your efforts. You should be grateful to your major shareholder, Benjamin Clark. Benjamin helped me once too, so I'll consider doing a favor for him and let you go this time! If you dare lay a finger on Alicia again, I won't be as polite. Alicia is mine whether I'm dead or alive!

",

"Frederick!

", Jeremy had never expected Frederick to know all the shareholders of the Pitcher Group that well. He rose to his feet again but he was still very angry.,

"You're just filling the empty space that I left! If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have stood any chance to be with her at all! You took advantage of Alicia yet flirted with other women everywhere else. You don't deserve her trust in you! She's just obsessed with you for now. You don't know her at all. Money and wealth can't satisfy her. Sooner or later, she'll leave you!

", Frederick turned around slowly, and he glared fiercely at Jeremy.,

"Shut your filthy mouth! You're the one who's flirting with other women! It doesn't matter how she ended up with me or whoever she loves, she's already mine! Jeremy, you'd better get used to this reality. You had a chance with her and you blew it, but I'll never waste this opportunity. One day, I'll completely remove you from her life!

", After that, he opened the door and paused for a moment before giving another warning.

"Don't forget about my words!

", Then, the two men had left the room. Behind, Jeremy's figure hunched with regret, and the veins on his clenched fists bulged up., It was known that bad news travels fast. Soon, the news about Frederick paying Pitchers Company a visit and the fight between the two major directors became a hot topic. Everyone else made their wild guesses, and in an instant, all kinds of allegations emerged., Amongst them, the most viral news was that the two CEOs had a crush on a beautiful woman and were both madly in love with her., It was only a few days later when Alicia saw the news.,

"I heard that Mr. Clements fought with a man over a woman. He's so dominant!

",

"Yes! I heard that the office was torn apart and both of them were injured! Aren't you curious about how beautiful the woman is?

",

"No one knows for sure whether she's a beauty! My classmate said that he saw Mr. Clements entering the hotel with a girl in a red dress... She was very thin. They were very sneaky, and he was protective of her!

",

"Are you telling the truth?

", At Lovely Scent, Alicia listened to the gossips of the young ladies who came to shop. There was an indescribable feeling in her heart as she thought,

"Red dress? Then... The photos Jeremy showed her previously weren't photoshopped?

", However, it was clear that the photos were taken in the evening. For the past few nights, Frederick had been with her.,

"Take care! Please come again next time!

", Her drifting thoughts were pulled back. Alicia shook her head hard and scolded herself,

"What am I thinking about? Frederick doesn't even like Danica!

", While she tidied up the shelves, Freya inquired about the situation.,

"Ally, Mr. Clements did everything for your sake, right? Last time, he came here in a hurry to look for you, and I noticed that he thought of you differently...

",

"Aunt Freya, you're making fun of me! Maybe it's just business. Don't listen to their nonsense!

", Freya didn't say anything else about it and simply smiled. She then glanced at the clock.,

"You must be hungry. Since there aren't many customers now, you should take a break and eat something. I baked your favorite dessert. It's in the microwave oven, and you can heat it up yourself. Also, there are your favorite fruit puddings.

",

"That's great! I'll heat it up and bring it down so that we can enjoy it together!

", Alicia was always very relaxed in front of her relatives. She hopped up and down excitedly and quickly went to the back room., The music that was played in the, background along with the sound of, customers entering and leaving made the store noisy. But Alicia wasn't paying attention to those noises. After she heated the dessert, she went to cut some fruits and then brought them out. , As soon as she opened the door, she heard someone who had cursed.,

"Aren't you old enough to die? What's the point of your presence on this earth anyway?

",

"I'm still on duty! Hurry up and get out of here!

",

"Look at yourself. Your hair's already, in, all white. You're nearing your death anyway, why are you still forcing yourself to stay alive? Sebastian came to see you a hundred times, but you're still as useless asa, chicken who can't any lay eggs.

", , Alicia placed her plates down and noticed the mess on the ground. Kianna pointed her finger in anger and her face was gushed red. At a corner, Freya had clutched her chest. Alicia then grabbed a bottle and threw it at Kianna., She scolded,

"Haven't you said, enough? Slandering is pointless! Aren't you ashamed of treating someone who is old enough to be your father? You should behave properly! Won't this attitude make you an embarrassment toward your future generations?

", Kianna retorted,

"Who do you think you are? You even called for backup? It's none of your business!

",

"It doesn't matter who I am! You're not welcome here! So get out of here!

" With a broom in her hand, Alicia flung it in her direction.,

"If you ever cause trouble here again, I'll call the police to arrest you! Get out of here!

",

"Ah! B*itch! You both are b*tches!

", Kianna screamed and stomped her feet in anger before leaving. Alicia saw the mess on the ground and her face turned red in anger.

"Aunt Freya, are you okay? What happened? Why was she here?

"

"Alas... One can't possibly avoid their enemy!
