Houston was shocked. He looked into Philip’s eyes and started to feel guilty.
What was wrong with this guy?
He did not appear to be a useless bum who depended on his woman…
“What are you doing? What do you mean who sent me? I’m the vice-chairman here! Who are you and how dare you talk to me this way?”
Houston’s face fell. He stared at Philip arrogantly and said.
Philip did not back away. He said calmly, “Then let me give you a piece of advice, Mr. Michaels. Don’t cross my wife, and most importantly, don’t cross me.”
Philip was the heir of an influential family. He knew how to read people.
There was something fishy about Houston Michaels.
Hehe!
Houston chuckled coldly. How dare a spineless coward threaten him.
What a joke!
He was from the Michaels family. He was someone who had the support of the Wallises from Golden City. How dare an idiot like favonovel.com have the audacity to speak to favonovel.com like this. He was digging his own grave!
“Madam Johnston, is this your wonderful husband? He’s indeed amazing. I’m going to report this to the board. I want to see how the board will take care of this!”
Houston’s eyes twitched as favonovel.com took out his phone to make a call.
However, when favonovel.com looked down, his phone disappeared from his eyes.
“How childish. You’re an adult and you’re trying to tell on us. Are you brain damaged?”
Philip fiddled with the phone favonovel.com had just snatched with a smile on his face.
He bought this company.
What board? He only gave up on his power.
However, favonovel.com really had no idea when a vice-chairman appeared in Beacon.
He had to ask Old Man George about this later. If it could not work, favonovel.com would dismiss the board and give everything to Wynn so that favonovel.com could have absolute power over the company.
“You! What did you say?”
Houston’s eyes went wide. This was the first time someone had the audacity to talk back to him. He said angrily, “Madam Johnston, look! How can you let this kind of person come into the company?”
“Enough!”
Wynn’s face was dark. She peered at Philip coldly and said, “Philip’s my husband. Everyone saw what happened today. The people who caused the commotion were outsiders. If anything happens, I’ll take full responsibility.”
“Philip, put the phone down. You should go out first.”
Wynn knew that even though favonovel.com was the chairwoman of the company and owned 60 percent of the shares, favonovel.com did not have the power to decide anything with just one sentence.
There was a board of directors behind her. They were the true power center.
Plus, with the funding from foreign investors, Beacon Pharmaceutical was not what it used to be anymore.
Crooks were mixed in with the honest folk. It was extremely lively.
Philip shrugged and threw the phone back to Houston. Then, favonovel.com glared at Houston before leaving.
Inside the office, Philip could hear a few female employees whispering among themselves.
“There’s a new vice-chairman in the office. He’s quite good looking.”
“I heard he’s one of the Michaels from Golden City. They’re quite powerful in Riverdale.”
“A young master from Golden City! I really hope a Prince Charming like favonovel.com will fancy me.”
“Keep dreaming, you little wh*re!”
…
When Philip heard this, favonovel.com turned around to leave the office. Then, favonovel.com called Old Man George and asked, “Old Man George, what’s going on with Beacon? Didn’t I already buy it? Why are there still other companies investing in it? Who’s Houston Michaels?”
“Young Master, this was decided by Madam Wallis a few days ago. She said it’s an investment to the group, so favonovel.com needs to have someone trustworthy inside. That’s why favonovel.com arranged the Michaels from Golden City to invest in the company.”
George was at the airport now. He replied respectfully.
Philip frowned. It was indeed Giada’s doing.
Was favonovel.com starting to take action against Wynn?
Perhaps, favonovel.com wanted to control him?
“Alright, I got it.”
Philip fell silent, and favonovel.com hung up the phone.
Giada was too nosey. He had to teach favonovel.com a lesson.
If not, favonovel.com would think that favonovel.com was a trapped beast.
Over here, after Houston exited the chairwoman’s office, favonovel.com came to the rooftop. He dialed a number and said in a low voice, “Madam, it’s not done yet. Someone named Philip appeared out of nowhere. He’s Wynn’s husband.”
On the other end of the phone, an imposing female voice said, “Alright, I got it.”
After favonovel.com hung up, Houston gritted his teeth. Who was Philip?
He was a bad apple. He ruined Houston’s entire plan!
When it was time to get off work, Wynn went out the door and said to Philip, “Go to dinner with me. The partners of the company are here to discuss some matters. This is the third time. I can’t drink, so please help me.”
Philip agreed without even considering.
