Anyone with a brain knew that Randy had only these two choices given the circumstances. That was why he had come before Fred.Some amount of time passed. Although Randy felt an immense fear facing Fred, as a soldier, he gritted his teeth and said, "I-I cannot betray the United States!"He immediately tensed up after he said that, his entire body stiffening like a piece of wood. This was due to fear, but also because he was prepared for Fred to strike him down with a single blow for refusing him. What surprised him, however, was Fred’s unexpected reaction. Fred accepted the tea Tyne had brewed for him, took a sip, and smiled. “When did I ever say I wanted you to betray the United States?""You’re not asking me to betray my country?" Randy was slightly puzzled, but then he furrowed his brows. He said again, "Great One, you now control the entire Blair family. You also plan to eliminate the Orton family! The moment the Ortons are taken out, the United States' political landscape will fal

Just as Fred was about to get into trouble with Tyne, a voice suddenly rang out. It saved him from the predicament. It was a bespectacled woman who was looking at Tyne from outside the fitting room with a puzzled expression.Tyne was also slightly surprised when the woman with the glasses called her name and looked over. "Uhm, who are you?”"It's really you, Tyne!" Filled with joy, the woman with glasses hurried over and said with a smile, "It's me, Tina. Remember?""Ah!" Tyne was momentarily stunned when the woman mentioned her name, but then excitement immediately took over her. She grabbed the woman’s arm and nearly jumped. "Tina! You're Tina! Ahhhh, it's really you! We haven't seen each other in such a long time!"The bespectacled woman was also clearly very excited. She held onto Tyne's arm and joined in as they both jumped together from joy. Some time passed before the two women noticed the bewildered looks on Fred's and Stellar's faces. Then, both their faces turned red as they

"Thank you, hubby!"After kissing Fred on the cheek, Tyne went back shopping in the mall…Just as Tina had said, a car parked in front of the hotel at four o'clock the next day. Dressed elegantly, Tyne immediately got into the car with Fred. They headed toward the reunion venue. It was at a high-end integrated entertainment club called Angel.Tina was already there at the club entrance since earlier on, waiting for them. She saw Tyne get out of the car in her elegant attire and immediately greeted her with a smile, "Tyne, you took your time getting here. I've been waiting here for so long!""Fred and I are on time! You’re just early!" Tyne replied before immediately linking her arm with Fred's as they got out of the car."Your... your boyfriend came along too?"It was quite obvious that Tina had not expected Fred to come along with Tyne and was momentarily taken aback. Although it was just a fleeting moment, Fred caught the hint of discomfort on her face. 'Am I unwelcome or am

The second interpretation would be that Fred was merely inflating his status. He was just pretending to be more important than he actually was. The way they saw it, running a small company or business was not something considered remarkable.It was evident that none of them believed the first possibility. Because of this, they all looked down on him, especially Daniel. They could not fathom why someone like Tyne would choose a boyfriend like Fred.Sensing the change in atmosphere, Tyne sighed and whispered to Fred, "Shall we go sit over there?""Sure," Fred agreed readily, not bothered by the situation. He considered Daniel and his group's judgment beneath his notice. He had decided to accompany Tyne to this gathering, so he would not let his mood be affected by something small like this. After taking a seat with Tyne, the earlier commotion quickly subsided. The atmosphere turned lively again as people started reminiscing about the past. After all, a class reunion was meant for people

An excited buzz fizzled through the room at the answer. Everyone began showering Daniel with compliments one after another. Seeing that his plan was working, Daniel gave Tina a meaningful look.Understanding his signal, Tina nodded and promptly approached Tyne. "Tyne, will you join us? We’re talking about Augustine, after all. He’s from the number one family in the United States. If we can establish a connection, the benefits could be significant!"Tyne hesitated, but seeing how enthusiastic Tina was, she could only nod and say, "Alright, let's go together, then.”With that said, Tyne got up while holding onto Fred's arm. However, since Daniel had orchestrated this entire situation to show off in front of Tyne, how could he allow Fred to be part of it? Not only that, he also saw the opportunity to beat Fred down.So, he deliberately cut in and said, "Tyne, it's not that I'm being petty, but Augustine is a big shot from the Blair family. Not just anyone can meet him. As for Mr. Hoffman
