"As far as I know, the Crouch family members are all upstarts and snobs who are very selfish and prey on the weak! Recently, they even tried to steal the Global Garden project from us! They really overestimated themselves! Graham Crouch and Lindsay Crouch are really birds of a feather; they're hypocrites. Last year, he even made a name for himself as a philanthropreneur! I heard that every time he makes a donation, he will find excuses to detain the workmen's salaries. To sum it all up, he won't spend a penny more than he has to!"

After hearing the stories, Frederick had a really bad impression of this family. With a flash of inspiration, he said, "Didn't he want to bid for the project? Let's give him a chance!"

"Huh? Are you talking about Crouch Construction?"

Nodding, Frederick replied in a calm voice, "Yes, I'm quite bored recently. Let's play a game with them!"

Chet got goosebumps and shuddered as he finally understood what Frederick meant. "Surely he didn't mean to give them a hard time just because of one slap? He was already up to his neck in work!" Chet lamented inwardly.

At the same time, Alicia was lucky she wasn't late for work. Rushing, she arrived at the last second but the meeting with Frederick that morning and the incident the previous night had both put her in a bad mood.

Alicia kept making mistakes in her work and she had to correct them a few times, which wasted many data materials on hand. She was stressed out and just as she corrected the data, she received a call from an unknown number.

"Hello, this is Alicia Blanchard from JT Translation Service."

"Miss Blanchard, I am a doctor from Clearview Hospital. I have something very important to discuss with you... Can you please come over?"

A pleasant male voice came from the phone. Upon hearing that it was a call from her father's nursing home, Alicia got up anxiously.

"Yes, I'll be right there!"

Alicia hung up before the doctor could even finish speaking. She asked her colleague for help with work and rushed to the hospital after applying for leave. "Doctor, I'm Alicia Blanchard. Is my-"

Rushing into the office, Alicia looked up and was stunned. "It's you?"
