Chapter 37
On the other side.
Raphael, who had been hung up on, paced around his house in circles.
He felt that the chairman of FDK International would probably come to see him personally.
He wondered if he could obtain some benefits from FDK International through Silvia, if the other party really took a liking to her.
He didn’t expect Silvia to have such ability, to be able to seduce the chairman of FDK
International.
He had underestimated her before!
But when he thought about Silvia’s tempting

figure, Raphael felt a bit regretful.
If he had known earlier, he would have pursued her instead of sticking with Adeline, making himself look foolish and infatuated.
Raphael pondered how to negotiate with the chairman of FDK International.
Little did he know, Frederick would never
see him.
If it weren’t for his current relationship with Silvia, why would someone like Frederick bother dealing with a small airline company?
The doorbell rang.
Raphael hurriedly went to open the door, adjusting his expression to look serious and dignified before opening it.
However, the person outside was not the one

he had guessed,
Sherman, dressed in a professional suit, fitting the image of a lawyer, showed an exceptionally friendly smile when he saw Raphael.
“Mr. Carter, right?”
“Yes,” Raphael was on high alert. “Who are you…”
“I was entrusted by President Tudor to come find you.”
What?
Frederick didn’t come personally??
Sherman took a step back. “Mr. Carter, can we have a word?”
Raphael didn’t dare to offend FDK International after all. “Of course.”
Chapter 37
He followed Sherman out of the house for about a hundred meters, and just as he was about to ask where they were going,
Sherman stopped.
Sherman’s face had no smile at this
moment, and he asked expressionlessly, “You’re with Adeline, right?”
Raphael was stunned.
This matter…
“I…”
“Uh!!!” Raphael didn’t even get a chance to speak before Jeff and his men covered his mouth and forced him into the car.
In less than two minutes, the car left the spot.
Afterwards, Jeff stood on the roadside, as if airing out, but not quite, because he stood

there smoking, with a sly smile on his face.
“Jeff, Lawyer Harris can’t beat someone to death in a fit of anger, right?” the driver worriedly asked.
Jeff waved his hand. “He’s a lawyer, he knows his limits. Even if Raphael wants to sue him later, he won’t gain anything.”
Sherman was originally frustrated about this matter, so he couldn’t possibly let go of the opportunity to openly deal with his brother–in–law’s mistress.
President Tudor didn’t actually arrange anything for them, he just sent Sherman a WhatsApp message.
The content was: [Go to this location and find Raphael, as long as he doesn’t die, it’s fine].
So Sherman knew what to do.

Raphael was inexplicably getting beaten up, but he couldn’t resist.
Why was this seemingly refined man hitting so hard?!
After venting his anger, Sherman
straightened his tie and pointed at Raphael, who had a swollen face, and said, “Two things.
First, you better grow old with that bitch Adeline.
Second, if I hear that you went to see Miss Robinson again, your affair will be in the news the next day, and you’ll be left with nothing.”
“Do you understand?”
In this regard, how could Raphael be a match for a lawyer?

A brave man doesn’t suffer losses.
Even if Raphael felt resentful, he could only nod obediently, indicating that he
understood.
“And…” Sherman adjusted his suit, got out of the car, turned around, and looked at him, saying, “Don’t mess with President Tudor behind our backs.
If you do anything to harm President Tudor and Miss Robinson, I will make sure your death is even more gruesome.”
A threat!
A blatant threat!
Raphael’s nose was still bleeding, he wiped it, and gritted his teeth while nodding.
Sherman was satisfied, “Alright, we’re done talking.

Take Mr. Carter home.”
The driver by the roadside quickly got in the car and drove Raphael back home alone.
On WhatsApp.
Sherman: [President Tudor, the mission is complete.]
Frederick: [I want to hear the results.]
Sherman: [I beat him up so badly that his mother wouldn’t recognize him!]
Frederick: [Your beating wasn’t that great, it seems.]
Sherman: [???]
The two of them could be described as growing up together, like two peas in a pod.
Jeff looked at Sherman, who was looking at

himself in the car mirror, and asked, “What are you doing?”
“Just fixing my handsome and suave hairstyle.”
“I can’t see where you’re handsome and suave.”
Sherman glared at him.
Jeff continued, “Weren’t you against President Tudor’s decision before?”
He was referring to Frederick having feelings for Silvia.
Sherman stopped what he was doing.After a while, he sighed and said, “But he’s my childhood friend.
He saved up a lot of money to help me with my college expenses. If he really wants to do it, I won’t be able to stop him. I can only

accompany him on this path.”
If someone were to attack Frederick because of this, Sherman would never tolerate it.
That’s why Sherman initially tested the waters with Silvia using a contract.
But obviously, Silvia rendered Sherman’s skills useless.
Frederick’s residence.
As soon as Silvia came back, she saw that her room was spotless, and not only that, several dolls were placed inside.
“Did they put it in the wrong place?”
Frederick was taking off his tie, exuding a lazy demeanor of coming home, and glanced at her bedroom.

“No,” he said. “It’s for you.”
Silvia was stunned.
Frederick glanced at her. “Don’t you like Doraemon?”
Silvia blinked. “How did you know?”
Frederick fell silent for a moment and then said, “Your keychain and the charm on your backpack, they are all Doraemon.”
He noticed from the beginning.
Especially the first time he accidentally entered her house, there were also several Doraemon dolls in the living room.
It couldn’t be that Raphael likes Doraemon, right?
Just then, Sherman and the others came. back.

Frederick didn’t say anything more and went downstairs with Sherman and the others.
Silvia took a nap in her room for a while, but was eventually awakened by Iris’s video call.
She was a bit thirsty and wanted to go downstairs to get some water, so she took her phone and went downstairs.
“Silvia, congratulations! You became a captain!”
Silvia put her phone down and opened a bottle of mineral water.
They chatted for a while, and then Silvia saw a figure lying on the sofa in the living room.
She said, “Iris, let’s meet and talk when you come back next week. By then, I’ll be divorced too, and I’ll treat you to a big

meal.”
“Okay!” Iris hung up the video call with a cheerful smile.
Silvia walked to the other side of the sofa and gently poked Frederick’s arm. “Are you asleep?”
The man didn’t respond, as if he was asleep.
Silvia noticed a blanket next to him and picked it up to cover him, but before she could touch him, Frederick suddenly opened his eyes.
Her movement froze.
Meeting the man’s reddish and profound gaze, Silvia felt inexplicably uneasy and thought of retracting her hand.
Then, Frederick’s intoxicating and seductive voice, after being drunk, filled the air. “Can

you get divorced soon?”
