Frederick also saw Christopher, and his eyes were filled with surprise, just like Christopher’s.
Although he had never dealt with Levine Group before, there were often exclusive interviews with
Christopher in famous magazines.
It was true that Levine Group had made good use of its materials and talents.
Their CEO’s appearance and temperament were indeed unmatched by A-list celebrities.
As the saying goes, “killing two birds with one stone.” Levine Group had not only saved a huge amount
of publicity and endorsement expenditure but also uniquely enhanced the company’s influence and
communication power.
Frederick got up and walked toward Christopher, greeting him with a smile. The two of them shook
hands politely.
Frederick had already been trained over the years and had an authoritative presence. He could easily
cope with such an occasion, even if the other party were Christopher, the decisive and ruthless CEO of
Levine Group.
“Mr. Levine, I didn’t expect you to come in person. It’s really a great honor!” Frederick
was very
familiar with the accent in the business world.
Puzzled, Christopher thought, ‘Rumors said that Ms. Larson has long taken over the post as Larson
Corporation’s CEO. Could it be there’s another personnel change?”
Then, he decided to sound it out.
Sure enough, wisdom came with age. His experience in the underworld had not been in vain. He
pretended to be relaxed and said in a business tone, “Please don’t blame me for dropping by without
informing in advance, Mr. Larson.”
“Mr. Larson?” Frederick suddenly realized that Christopher had mistaken him for CEO.
‘It seems that Mr. Levine is here for Ms. Larson. In that case, it’s even more important. to find out the
reason he came, Frederick whispered inwardly. He immediately had an idea and thought that he should
make the best after a mistake and check it out.
“Please don’t say that. Everyone knows you. Levine Group holds great power and influence in
Norham.” Frederick changed the subject and neither admitted nor denied the identity as “Mr. Larson.”
Christopher was dissatisfied with Frederick’s answer, but he could not lose his temper at

other people’s territory and had to bear with it.
If it were his employees who did not answer his question, he would have already flown into a rage.
In his eyes, that was equivalent to being bad at languages. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Needless to say, Frederick was not incompetent but a wise person.
He had no choice but to counter Christopher secretly. It could not be hastened and had to be done
step-by-step.
“I’m flattered. We only have a niche in that small town of Norham, which is no match for Larson
Corporation. The rapid development in recent years, especially under the governance of Ms. Larson,
has achieved a great success that we cannot match.”
Christopher was determined to bring the subject back to “the eldest daughter of the Larson family” no
matter how the other party tried to avoid it.
Then, he continued humbly, “To be honest, I came here to learn from Ms. Larson, a heroine.”
He had not figured out who the CEO before him was yet. However, he knew that it was impolite to keep
raising the one who might be the person’s former CEO.
He looked at the man in front of him, who was about the same age as himself. “The CEO of your
company has always been young. There used to be Ms. Larson, and now you are here. You are so
capable at such a young age, which is really impressive.”
Felix was sitting beside Christopher, and what happened had broadened the former’s h o rizon. Utterly
confused, he wondered, What’s wrong with Mr. Levine today? I never knew he was so good at
complimenting people.’
Indeed, Christopher had hardly begged anyone else. It was always others who begged him for
cooperation.
Frederick thought that Christopher was eloquent, but everyone knew how to pass the buck.
“Mr. Levine, you’re too modest. The development of Larson Corporation really benefits. from the
leadership of Ms. Larson.” He was telling the truth.
If Kimberly had not come back four years ago, William would still be in charge of Larson Corporation.
Not to mention the company’s development, the company itself would have been outshined by others
long ago.
Christopher smiled faintly and said expectantly, “Oh? In that case, I should pay Ms. Larson a visit
today, then. It’ll make my trip to Dellmoor worthwhile.”

Frederick did not expect Christopher to be relentless in probing about Kimberly after they had
countered each other for so long.
Frederick pressed his palm against his forehead, and his mind was in turmoil. He wondered, “How did
Ms. Larson offend the handsome CEO in front of me?”
“Unfortunately, she’s not in Dellmoor and is on a business trip, Frederick told the truth. Now that
Kimberly was away, he refused to believe that Christopher would still wait for her to come back.
Hearing that Kimberly was not in Dellmoor. Christopher was a little disappointed and felt empty in his
heart.
Originally, he wanted to go over and find the true colors of the eldest daughter of the Larson family..
Frederick’s trick somehow worked. Christopher was a sensible person and had never met Kimberly in
his life. Since Frederick had told him that she was not around, he would not make things difficult for
Frederick either.
He was domineering but reasonable.
The duo then put forward some ideas and expectations regarding the subsequent development of the
two companies.
After Christopher left. Frederick thought that it was strange and had to report it to Kimberly quickly.
However, Kimberly’s phone never got through.
Christopher planned to go back at first but changed his mind before he could say “Head back to
Norham.”
He turned to the driver and said, “Head to the Larson residence.”
Apparently, he did not believe what Frederick had just said.
He planned to go to the Larson residence once again before leaving Dellmoor, thinking that something
unexpected might happen.
Catching the other party off guard had always
been Christopher’s style.
The car traveled along the route. The trip to Dellmoor was carried out without a halt. Christopher felt a
little tired and leaned back in his seat with his eyes closed.
Soon, the car arrived near Larson Corporation. Felix motioned for the driver to pull over and reminded
Christopher in a low voice, “Mr. Larson, we will arrive at the Larson residence soon.

Christopher heard someone calling him. He opened his eyes slowly and felt much better after a nap.
He motioned for the driver to stop at the periphery of the Larson residence, as far away as possible, in
order not to alert the enemy inadvertently.
Olivia was supposed to pick up the little ones with Kimberly.
That day, she waited at the pick-up point of the kindergarten after school.
The little ones knew that Kimberly was on a business trip that day and thought that it was John who
would go to pick them up. When they saw Olivia, they were utterly surprised.
After all, Olivia loved them very much and bought all the delicious food and toys for them.
Candice kept talking to Olivia sweetly. She shared about what happened at school and acted like a
spoiled child, requesting to sleep with Olivia at night.
As they approached the Larson residence, Olivia noticed Christopher’s three cars but failed to see who
was inside the vehicles.
She was a little confused and wondered who are those people who parked their cars next to the Larson
residence. After all, there was no residential or commercial arca around.
Christopher and his group spotted Olivia’s car entering the Larson residence.
He was delighted that he had a good day and that his deliberate waiting finally yielded a good result.
