Chapter 309

Vernon glared at Boris the moment he entered the room. The latter was scared as a sinner in church.

He did not even dare to breathe too loudly.

“Sir, is there anything I can help you with? You can just tell me. You didn’t have to come here on your

own.”

Boris had a smile on his face as he bowed even lower.

“Why? Do I have to report my every move to you?”

Vernon’s face was dark as he looked at Boris.

“Ah, no, no. You’ve misunderstood me, Sir. I mean…”

Boris was so scared that he wanted to kneel on the ground. What was wrong with the chairman today?

He was so angry!

“Stop talking nonsense! I’m asking how did you treat this man over here? Did you offer this man a job

as a watchdog?”

Vernon interrogated Boris sternly. Was this guy dumb?

How dare he ask a young master from a prestigious family to become a watchdog for their company?

Was he asking for death?

He would not be able to compensate Philip even if he owned a few Hodgson Pharmaceuticals.

As he was yelling, Vernon looked at Philip and smiled flatteringly.

This was the young man who destroyed Hutten and the Logans single-handedly.

He was so powerful, but why was he pretending to be weak?

Was it because of that beauty and that unreasonable woman?

Vernon made some guesses in his heart, but he still could not understand.

However, he understood if a man like him destroyed the Logans in secret, it meant that he did not want

anyone to know.

“I’m sorry, Sir. I was wrong…”

Boris did not dare to breathe loudly. His forehead was already covered in cold sweat.

Vernon glared at Boris angrily. He wanted so badly to kick this worthless bum out the door. If he

offended this VIP, he would not even know how he died.

Vernon let out a sigh of relief when he saw Philip’s confused face.

“Sir, I’m so sorry. I was incompetent in educating my employees, that’s why he offended you.”

Vernon looked like a slave who was fawning over his master right now. He was bowing and lowering

himself. He looked very respectful.

Everyone was shocked.

Vernon Payne was the chairman of Hodgson Pharmaceutical!

Now, he was talking humbly and respectfully to a good-for-nothing like Philip. What was going on?

Martha’s eyes were wide. She was very confused.

Philip was also confused. He did not know Vernon.

When he saw Philip frowning, Vernon’s heart sank. He turned his head and yelled at Boris, “Come over

here and apologize to him.”

What the f*ck?

Apologize to that piece of trash?

Boris was stunned. He was beyond reluctant. He was the manager of the human resources

department. It would be so embarrassing to apologize to that worthless bum.

“Mr. Payne, look, I’m the manager of the human resources department. Plus, I didn’t do anything

wrong. He’s only qualified to watch the door.”

Boris explained while gritting his teeth.

Slap!

Vernon slapped Boris on the face angrily. The slap caused that meathead to widen his eyes. He did not

dare to say anything else.

“Are you not going to apologize? Fine, you’re fired!”

Vernon was livid. Was Boris so stupid? Did he not know how to read someone’s expression?

This time, Boris surrendered completely. He ran over to Philip and bowed before apologizing. “I’m

sorry, Mr. Clarke. I was wrong. I shouldn’t have humiliated you.”

Philip did not even want to look at Boris. He knew this man was colluding with Joel. Boris was just a

human shield.

However, he was intrigued by Vernon now. This man might already know something.

Vernon noticed Philip looking at him, and his heart sank. He panicked immediately.

‘What does this mean?

‘He won’t accept the apology?

‘Alright!’

“Boris Bauer, you’re fired. From now on, you’re no longer the manager of the human resources

department in Hodgson Pharmaceutical. Get lost.”

Vernon said coldly. He waved his hand while telling Boris he could pack his things and leave.

Boris started to panic. He knelt on the floor with a loud thud and grabbed Vernon’s pants. He begged,

“Mr. Payne, I was wrong. Please forgive me.”

However, Vernon just looked at Boris coldly. He quickly asked the security to drag him out.

Boris was bawling. He despised Joel so much. Who the f*ck had he crossed? He was just a scapegoat.

Over here, Joel frowned. He looked at Philip from head to toe. This guy was not as simple as he

seemed.

However, he could not tell what was so different about Philip.

Was he imagining things?

“Mr. Clarke, are you happy with my decision?” Vernon asked with a charmingly naive smile on his face.

“It’s alright,” Philip said and nodded.

Vernon let out a sigh of relief. He frowned and looked at Joel. Then, he said to Philip, “Mr. Clarke, if

you’re free, can we talk over there?”

Philip did not think much before he followed Vernon to one side.
