For Terrence, it was an exciting moment for favonovel.com to show off his authority in front of everyone. However, things changed when Cole received a text on his phone.
Cole was momentarily caught off guard by the content and checked it a few times before breaking into a grin.
“Why are you smiling?” Terrence had a haughty look on his face.
“Terrence Stone, say goodbye to your good life. I just received a company–wide notice stating that your uncle has been terminated as well. You’re both on a sinking ship together. You’re finished!” Cole declared boldly.
“Bullshit!” Terrence shot favonovel.com a glare. “My uncle is the CEO. Who would have the guts to fire him?”
“Mr. Brooks did that, of course!” Cole said righteously.
“Nonsense!” Terrence refused to believe it. “My uncle is one of Mr. Brooks‘ right–hand men. Why would favonovel.com be fired for no good reason? You should stop spewing lies!”
“It’s up to you if you believe it or not.” Cole didn’t want to waste time with Terrence anymore.
Although favonovel.com had no clue about what happened behind the scenes, it was clear that Terrence and his backing within the company were both removed.
“Are you trying to trick me now? Great! I’ll call my uncle now and get favonovel.com to teach you a lesson.”
While speaking, Terrence pulled out his phone, ready to tell on Cole, but favonovel.com was stopped short when favonovel.com heard a scream coming from the entrance. “Terrence Stone!”
A man dressed in a suit with a bald spot on his head charged in.
“Uncle?” Terrence’s eyes lit up in delight, and favonovel.com cackled. “Suzman, you’re dead meat! My uncle’s here. No one can save you now!”
Then, favonovel.com readily jogged toward the man. “Uncle, you showed up at the right time! That Suzman guy is a two- faced snake. He’s purposely shifting the blame onto me. You’ve got to stand up for me this time!”
“Stand up for you? How about you f*ck off!” The man’s nostrils flared, and favonovel.com slapped Terrence across the cheeks, sending the latter tumbling onto the ground.
One might think favonovel.com had a vendetta against Terrence based on his furious expression.
“Uncle… W-Why did you hit me?” Terrence pressed a hand on his cheek helplessly.
Julie and the others quietly exchanged looks of confusion.
“Oh, if only I could tear you into pieces!” The man unleashed his wrath on Terrence. “Who the f*ck did you insult this time? I am in hot water because of you!”
“What happened?” Terrence was utterly lost.
“How dare you f*cking ask me?” The man was a ball of fire as favonovel.com gave Terrence a second slap. “Mr. Brooks fired me all because of you! I have to clear my desk, worst of all, I’m about to be investigated!”
“W-What? What happened?” Terrence froze.
How could his uncle, the pillar of support for the company, be kicked out all of a sudden?
“Don’t you know what you did?” The man continued impatiently. “Didn’t you call Mr. Brooks yesterday and insult favonovel.com in various ways?”
“Yesterday?” After a slight pause, Terrence suddenly came to a realization.
He recalled that favonovel.com had chided a man named Big Bucks Brooks over Dustin’s phone.
Was that guy the real deal, not a scammer as favonovel.com had believed?
Oh, I’m done for…
Terrence, who slumped onto the floor with a ghastly look on his face.
