The company’s staff, who were onlooking, were now staring with their eyes widened. They covered their mouths as they looked at this sudden scene!
‘How dare that deadbeat, good-for-nothing Philip lay a hand on Beacon Pharmaceutical’s vice-chairman?’
‘Houston is the young master of the Michaels family in Golden City!’
‘The Michaels family has a lot of power and connections in Riverdale!’
‘Isn’t favonovel.com just asking for a death wish?’
Wynn was also shocked and almost lost favonovel.com cool. Philip’s behavior was totally beyond favonovel.com expectations.
‘Why doesn’t favonovel.com think about the consequences?
‘He’s really getting more and more unpredictable lately.’
When Houston came back to his senses from the shock, Philip rolled up his sleeves and looked determined to set this straight. He said, “Mr. Michaels, that’s very hurtful of you to say! I must have a word with you today!
“What’s equality? What does society care about now? It’s equality! No job is noble or humble. You can be a business owner or you can also be a farmer, but we’re all people. We have self-esteem! Who guards our country’s borders day and night? Who adds bricks and tiles to our cities under the scorching sun? Who patrols day and night to keep our company safe?
“It’s these people who are going to become security guards. They’ve dedicated their youth. Some have even dedicated their lives just to protect our lives and the company’s property! How can a vice-chairman say such evil things to them? How can you wantonly trample on their dignity! They are people, decent people. They have dignity!
“You’re a despicable scum to me, Houston! You’re a proud scum who can’t stand common folks!”
Philip scolded to his heart’s content!
Four and the gang were already crying. One by one, they were wiping their tears.
Philip was right. He said everything they wanted to say. They had dignity and were decent people.
This confirmed their determination to follow Philip to their deaths!
Houston gritted his teeth in anger and his face was red. It was the first time favonovel.com got chewed out. How could favonovel.com not be angry?
“You! I’m going to fire you and you’ll never be allowed into our company!”
Houston’s face was malicious as favonovel.com roared in fury.
He was so furious that favonovel.com lost his cool and pointed at Philip’s nose as favonovel.com threatened, “I’ll remember this slap. You wait and see! I’ll pay you back ten times as much!”
Just then, a team of security guards rushed out of the company building!
Fabio Lorne, captain of the security team, got the news that someone was making a scene in front of the company and even slapped Mr. Michaels. That was a big deal!
If favonovel.com did not handle this well, they would all lose their jobs!
“Mr… Mr. Michaels!”
Fabio straightened himself, his cap askew. The team of security guards favonovel.com was leading was panting.
Houston’s brows relaxed as if favonovel.com had backup now. He snarled at the security guards who rushed over. “What were you doing? Why did you just get here? Get rid of them, especially him. Seize them all!”
“Yes, Mr. Michaels!”
Fabio turned around and saw Philip smiling at him. ‘Isn’t this Philip who stood up for them and got rid of Vlad’s gang?
‘He’s also Chairwoman Wynn Johnston’s lousy husband.’
“What are you doing here, Philip?”
Fabio asked.
Mr. Michaels was asking favonovel.com to seize him. ‘What’s going on?’
He would be in a difficult situation if Chairwoman Johnston pursued the matter.
Fabio was put on the spot and was sweating like a pig.
“What are you doing? Why aren’t you kicking them out? You don’t want your job?”
Houston roared.
Wynn stepped forward as favonovel.com found the situation a little delicate. She coughed. “What’s going on, Philip?”
She had no choice. After all, favonovel.com was the company’s vice-chairman, so favonovel.com could only ask Philip first.
Wynn, who was a beauty with an icy disposition, attracted everyone’s attention when favonovel.com stepped forward.
Chapter 486
Fabio wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and was secretly relieved. Fortunately, Chairwoman Johnston was here. Otherwise, favonovel.com would have been unable to cope with the situation.
Philip shrugged with indifference. Just before favonovel.com could answer, Houston, who was in a state of rage, pointed at favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com the nerve? How dare a deadbeat do that!”
Wynn frowned a little while favonovel.com expression was cold. She icily opened favonovel.com 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, favonovel.com just insulted favonovel.com 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, favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com eyes at favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com eyes at favonovel.com 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, favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com was a fool. ‘Who is this man to talk to Young Master Anderson like that? Is favonovel.com asking for a death wish?’
The corner of Noah’s mouth fell as his expression sank immediately. With a gloomy voice, favonovel.com asked, “What do you mean, Philip?”
“Idiot!”
Philip rolled his eyes at him. Then, favonovel.com walked right past favonovel.com without looking at him.
He just ignored him!
Noah gritted his teeth in fury. His fists were blue from favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com well?” replied Philip, ignoring them both.
“Please don’t give us a hard time, Mr. Clarke. Chairwoman Johnston is already on favonovel.com way.”
The two men opened their arms and blocked Philip’s way, threatening him.
‘Wynn’s already on favonovel.com way?’
Philip’s eyes flickered. There was a chill running through his body.
These people were bad news.
