Chapter 1610: You Overestimate Me

"I heard from Jacob that you want to resign, is it true?" Anthony and Ava had just left the living room when Frederick Taylor asked first.

Alice Turner paused for a moment, then nodded: "It’s true, I want to return to my country to develop."

She spoke sincerely; returning home was her best choice at the moment.

"Even if you want to develop back home, there’s no need to resign." Frederick responded quickly, almost as soon as Alice had finished speaking.

This left both Alice and Thomas Fisher stunned, and seeing the confusion on their faces, Frederick spoke again: "Hasn’t the company already found a partner domestically? To further expand in the domestic market, I’ve discussed with the company’s shareholders and decided to set up a branch company back home. You’re the best candidate to head it."

During the days Alice and Anthony were back home, Frederick wasn’t idle either. He was busy with this matter, and in fact, he had this decision in mind even before they returned; it was just that he hadn’t discussed it with the shareholders at that time.

"Mr. Taylor! You have too much faith in me, how can I take on such a heavy responsibility?" Alice wasn’t being modest, nor was she underestimating herself; she genuinely worried about not doing well, which would let down Mr. Taylor’s trust in her.

When Frederick first met Alice five years ago, he indeed looked down on her, always thinking that a woman couldn’t achieve much. But later, she completed tasks excellently time and time again, causing his opinion of her to undergo a radical transformation.

Frederick spoke with great determination: "There’s no one more suitable in the entire company than you."

She was capable, and being from Flame Country, she had the perfect timing, geographical advantage, and harmony between people; she was the best choice.

"Mr. Taylor! You..."

"Rest assured, your compensation and other benefits will definitely be improved based on the current standard."

Alice wanted to refuse, but before she could utter the words of refusal, Frederick decisively interrupted her.

She was not hesitating over the compensation; she was worried about messing things up, understood?

Alice bit her lip and shook her head, denying Frederick’s claim, "Mr. Taylor! I am not concerned about my compensation; I worry about messing things up."

This matter was a huge responsibility, and she couldn’t help but consider it carefully.

"Go ahead and do it boldly, I will be your strongest support." Frederick paused, then continued: "I will also send Jacob with you this time, you must lead him well and strive to make him someone as excellent as you are as soon as possible."

What?! Jacob is going too.

Alice was reluctant to part with Anthony, but if she took Anthony back home, those bad people would sneak along too, and he would be in great danger there.

"Please agree, Uncle is begging you." As Alice hesitated on how to refuse Frederick, he suddenly stood up and faced her, bending down solemnly before her.

Seeing this, Alice immediately stood up, "Uncle Frederick! What are you doing?"

It was the first time she had seen Mr. Taylor like this; it shook her, leaving her at a loss.

"Alice! Please agree with Uncle Frederick."

As Alice stood up, Thomas Fisher also stood up, "Uncle Frederick trusts you so much, entrusting you with the branch company and Jacob, you shouldn’t decline anymore. Besides Uncle Frederick’s support, you also have me, and our two fathers, we are all your support network."
