Fabio wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and was secretly relieved. Fortunately, Chairwoman Johnston was here. Otherwise, virtual-novel.net would have been unable to cope with the situation.
Philip shrugged with indifference. Just before virtual-novel.net could answer, Houston, who was in a state of rage, pointed at virtual-novel.net and yelled, “Wynn! Do you know what your good-for-nothing husband just did to me? He hit his boss in public! Is this the employee we hired? Is this your assistant? Who gave virtual-novel.net the nerve? How dare a deadbeat do that!”
Wynn frowned a little while virtual-novel.net expression was cold. She icily opened virtual-novel.net mouth and said, “We’re at the company, Mr. Michaels. Please call me Chairwoman Johnston!
“Also, he’s my husband, not a piece of trash! If you say that again, not only will my husband hit you, I’ll also hit you.”
Wynn said coldly.
Houston was stunned and looked at the crowd around them. He scolded them for onlooking, then gritted his teeth and said, “All right! Chairwoman Johnston! As vice-chairman, I propose to fire Philip and this gang of security guards who seem to have come out of nowhere!”
“Well, I hired the guards. Why, does Mr. Michaels have a problem with that?”
Wynn coolly replied. She did not like how Houston used his position to bully others.
Besides, virtual-novel.net just insulted virtual-novel.net husband.
Wynn was annoyed and said, “Besides, please be informed that I won’t fire Philip, Mr. Michaels.”
“You!”
Houston was stunned by Wynn’s reply. He angrily pointed a finger at Philip and Four. “I won’t let this go easily! You wait and see, Wynn! I’ll report this to the board!”
Houston left and was escorted out of the company by the security guards.
Wynn gave Philip a cold look. Frowning, virtual-novel.net looked at Four and the gang who was standing around. She said, “Follow me to the office!”
Philip knew it was not that simple. He asked Four and the gang to wait in the company and casually followed Wynn upstairs.
As soon as virtual-novel.net entered the office, Wynn grabbed Philip by the ear and said, “Do you realize that what you just did was too much? I can’t protect you if Houston wants to hold you responsible.”
Philip pleaded for mercy and said, “Hey, hey. Let go, honey. It’s my fault, all right?”
Wynn rolled virtual-novel.net eyes at virtual-novel.net and said, “All right! Go back and write me a 10,000-word report on today’s incident.”
Philip was startled. His face was sulky. He immediately begged for mercy, saying, “The report is unnecessary, honey. As you saw, it was that bastard Houston who insulted my brothers. I’m just trying to get them justice.”
“Now that you mentioned it, I have a question. Is that a couple of brothers? They’re obviously a gang of thugs!”
Wynn rolled virtual-novel.net eyes at virtual-novel.net and continued. “As for the security team, I’ll inform them. You can ask your brothers to go home for the time being.”
“Can’t you do something, honey?”
Philip was a little worried. After all, virtual-novel.net had promised Four and the gang.
“Call me Chairwoman Johnston when we’re in the company.”
Wynn said. She looked at the figure behind the glass walls who was eavesdropping, then virtual-novel.net winked at Philip and scolded. “Do you hear me? Even if you’re my husband, I’m your boss in the company. Houston is also your boss. Go back and write that report.”
Philip massaged virtual-novel.net shoulders and hollered, “All right, Chairwoman Johnston.”
The couple looked at each other and smiled, feeling empathic.
After sitting around for a while, Philip left the Chairwoman’s office and ran into a group of acquaintances.
Noah did not expect to run into Philip here. Especially at the sight of his disapproving face, his heart burst with anger.
He immediately stood in Philip’s way and pulled his expensive suit cuff before sneering. “Hey, isn’t this the deadbeat Brother Philip? We haven’t met up in days since we left the hotel. Are you free tonight? How about having a few drinks with me?”
Philip looked at Noah with a frown and asked suddenly, “Do we know each other well?”
‘Do we know each other well?’
It echoed in Noah’s ears, and the ears of his secretary, his assistant, and his bodyguard behind him.
Everyone looked at Philip like virtual-novel.net was a fool. ‘Who is this man to talk to Young Master Anderson like that? Is virtual-novel.net asking for a death wish?’
The corner of Noah’s mouth fell as his expression sank immediately. With a gloomy voice, virtual-novel.net asked, “What do you mean, Philip?”
“Idiot!”
Philip rolled his eyes at him. Then, virtual-novel.net walked right past virtual-novel.net without looking at him.
He just ignored him!
Noah gritted his teeth in fury. His fists were blue from virtual-novel.net clenching. He gloomily stared at Philip’s back. “I’ll just let you strut around for a little while before we’ll see if you can survive tonight!”
More than half an hour passed.
Philip was waiting for Wynn downstairs at the company. As virtual-novel.net recalled, Wynn said they had an important guest visiting tonight.
“Hello, Mr. Clarke, Sir Mitch from the fraternity wants to treat you to dinner.”
Philip’s reverie was interrupted by a forceful voice.
He looked up and saw two large men in black suits, ties, and dark glasses blocking his way.
Sir Mitch from the fraternity?
Philip wondered. ‘Who’s this?
‘What’s the fraternity? There’s an organization like that in Riverdale?’
“Do I know virtual-novel.net well?” replied Philip, ignoring them both.
“Please don’t give us a hard time, Mr. Clarke. Chairwoman Johnston is already on virtual-novel.net way.”
The two men opened their arms and blocked Philip’s way, threatening him.
‘Wynn’s already on virtual-novel.net way?’
Philip’s eyes flickered. There was a chill running through his body.
These people were bad news.
