Chapter 508 by Marina Vittori
An Understated Dominance
For Terrence, it was an exciting moment for him 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.
âWhy are you smiling?â Terrence had a haughty look on his face. âTerrence Stone, say goodbye to your good life. I just received a companyâ wide notice stating that your uncle has been terminated as well. Youâre both on a sinking ship together. Youâre finished!â Cole declared boldly.
âBullshit!â Terrence shot him a glare. âMy uncle is the CEO. Who would have the guts to fire him?â
âMr. Brooks did that, of course.â Cole said righteously.
âNonsense!â Terrence refused to believe it. âMy uncle is one of Mr. Brooksâ rightâ hand men. Why would he be fired for no good reason? You should stop spewing lies!â
âItâs up to you if you believe it or not.â Cole didnât want to waste time with Terrence anymore. Although he had no clue about what happened behind the scenes, it was clear that Terrence and his backing within the company were both removed.
âAre you trying to trick me now? Great! Iâll call my uncle now and get him to teach you a lesson.â While speaking. Terrence pulled out his phone, ready to tell on Cole, but he was stopped short when he heard a
scream coming from the entrance. âTerrence Stone!â
A man dressed in a suit with a bald spot on his head charged in.
âUncle?â Terrenceâs eyes lit up in delight, and he cackled. âSuzman, youâre dead meat! My uncleâs here. No one can save you now.â
Then, he readily jogged toward the man. âUncle, you showed up at the right time! That Suzman guy is a two- faced snake. Heâs purposely shifting the blame onto me. Youâve got to stand up for me this time!â
âStand up for you? How about you fuck off!â The manâs nostrils flared, and he slapped Terrence across the cheeks, sending the latter tumbling onto the ground. One might think he had a vendetta against Terrence
based on his furious expression.
âWhy did you hit me?â Terrence pressed a hand on his cheek helplessly. Julie and the others quietly exchanged looks of confusion.
âOh, if only I could tear you into pieces!â The man unleashed his wrath on Terrence. âWho the fuck did you insult this time? I am in hot water because of you!â
âWhat happened?â Terrence was utterly lost.
âHow dare you fucking ask me?â The man was a ball of fire as he gave Terrence a second slap. âMr. Brooks fired me all because of you! I have to clear my desk; worst of all, Iâm about to be investigated!â
âWhat? What happened?â Terrence froze. How could his uncle, the pillar of support for the company, be kicked out all of a sudden?
âDonât you know what you did?â The man continued impatiently. âDidnât you call Mr. Brooks yesterday and insult him in various ways?â
âYesterday?â After a slight pause, Terrence suddenly came to a realization. He recalled that he had chided a man named Big Bucks Brooks over Dustinâs phone. Was that guy the real deal, not a scammer as he had believed?
âOh, Iâm done for thought Terrence, who slumped onto the floor with a ghastly look on his face.
