Beside him, Ivy’s makeup was streaked with tears, making her look absolutely terrifying.
The project managers immediately fell to their knees before Jackson, kowtowing so hard the sound echoed through the room.

Finally, Jackson nodded slightly, signaling them to stop.
He stood up and walked among them, his gaze piercing, “So what you’re saying is, if she weren’t my wife–jackson, Reed’s wife—then it would be acceptable for you to bully her and lock her in a freezer?”
cold sweat poured down their foreheads as they lowered their heads, not daring to speak.
Jackson sorted coldly
“From today
forward, all of your companies will be permanently blacklisted by Reed Enterprises.
Without Reed Enterprises backing, while they might not go bankrupt, their companies would never rise to prominence again.[]
Jackson continued his satanic judgment “And since you’re so fond of cold storage units, strip naked and get in there yourselves. Don’t worry–I’ll have doctors monitoring your vital signs. You wont be in any life–threatening danger.”
With that, Jackson dismissed them with a wave of his hand, ordering his bodyguards to drag them away, ignoring their paper white faces.]]

At the spoke, she crawled to Jackson’s feet, deliberately exposing her pale shoulders and forcing what she thought was a seductive smile. “Mr. Reed, I’m still young. Please give me a chance to make amends. I’ll do anything you want if you let me go.“[]
Mason was stunned by her sudden transformation, his face flushing then paling, feeling as if horns were sprouting from his head |
You whore! I’m standing right here, and you’re throwing yourself at him? You filthy shut–do you really think he’d look at someone like you?”
