Chapter 199: The Arrogant Man

“Yes,” Claire answered casually. She hadn’t expected Frederick to be behind her and didn’t know what he was thinking. “You guys are busy, and I’ll go back to my room to get ready for work tomorrow.”

Claire didn’t bother to guess Frederick’s thoughts. She was excited by the Hiokeeh Group’s offer. Without looking at him, she went upstairs.

Seeing this, Richard, who was standing nearby, didn’t dare linger. He took out his cell phone and quickly contacted the Hiokeeh Group to inquire about the situation.

On the second floor, Caroline stood at the stairs, smiling triumphantly. Zachary had just sent a message saying he’d arranged for Claire to join the Hiokeeh Group as Antony’s personal assistant. He’d also told Caroline everything that had happened between Antony and Claire. Caroline was overjoyed; she never expected this.

Antony wasn’t bad. She didn’t care which man Claire was with; what mattered was whether Claire slept with other men. As long as Claire slept with another man, Frederick would never want her again. At that time, wouldn’t it be Caroline’s best chance to get close to Frederick?

Another message arrived from Zachary: “[Let me arrange everything. Don’t act rashly.]”

“[Okay.]” Caroline put away her phone and returned to her room.

In the living room, Richard also received a reply from his subordinates: “General Hawthorne, the Hiokeeh Group…”

He never imagined Antony was the manager of the Hiokech Group. Even before Frederick invested, Antony was already an employee. Otherwise, Antony wouldn't have reached his current position and have such influence over personnel transfers. However, for all these years, Frederick never investigated the Hiokeeh Group.

Frederick felt angry remembering his instructions from a few days ago. He had given specific recruitment instructions; how could there be mistakes?

“General Hawthorne, it’s all my fault for not doing my job properly. I didn’t find out Antony was in the Hiokeeh Group. Before we invested, he had already…” Richard carefully explained everything to Frederick.

“Antony Yohan…” Frederick stood there, frowning, his expression solemn.

“General Hawthorne, don’t worry, this won’t happen again. As for Antony, I will deal with him immediately. I will ensure Ms. Prescott has no contact with him.”

Richard, having followed Frederick for many years, knew how angry he was. Frederick’s frown suddenly relaxed. “What do you want to deal with? This woman can go with whoever she wants. Claire is of little use to me.”

“Okay.” Richard was stunned. He hadn’t expected that response. He thought, “Was this because he couldn’t see his own gloom?”

Richard wanted to remind Frederick, “General Hawthorne, women need to be coaxed. If you like them, can’t you just pursue them? Otherwise, Ms. Prescott will be snatched away by someone else.” Richard secretly complained, but ultimately said nothing and went home with the documents.

After Richard left, Frederick turned around, went upstairs, and glanced at Claire’s room as he passed. He just wanted Claire to repay Anna; to him, she was a tool to vent his desires. Moreover, if he hadn’t been drunk that night, he wouldn’t have had a relationship with Claire at all. As for Antony, Claire loved him so much; maybe she contacted him to get his attention.

Frederick casually straightened his cuffs and returned to his room proudly. He couldn’t remember being so furious and jealous of Antony!
