Chapter 536

At around three or four that afternoon, the company suddenly called for a management meeting,

leaving everyone worried.

To make things worse, someone somehow leaked the news that the Michaels were pulling out of their

deal!

“Damn it! Who leaked it? Who spread the rumor? Find out!”

In the chairwoman’s office, Wynn was so furious that her body shook with rage. “Also, get every

member of the management to the conference room for a meeting later!”

Nina had never seen her boss so angry before, and she said hurriedly, “Yes, ma’am. I’ll get right to it.”

With that, she hastily left the chairwoman’s office and stood outside the door to catch her breath.

“What’s the matter, Nina?”

That sudden voice startled Nina into looking up. It was Philip.

“Why did you come up here?” she asked.

Philip scratched his head and glanced at the chairwoman’s office, saying bewilderedly, “Madam

Johnston asked me to drop by.”

Nina nodded and suddenly reminded him, “Be careful what you say later. She’s rather angry right now.”

Philip smiled and thanked her for the reminder before going in.

As expected, the temperature inside the office was terrifyingly cold. The goddess before him was one

of ice, threatening to freeze him where he stood.

“Were you looking for me, honey?”

Philip asked with a chuckle.

Wynn was in a very bad mood right now. She stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at

the skyscrapers outside. Letting out a long breath, she turned around and asked Philip, “The Michaels

want to stop investing in Beacon.”

So that was the problem. Philip heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Don’t worry, I can solve that problem

for you.”

Wynn hesitated. “Tell me honestly, Philip, can you really help me?”

Philip patted his chest and said, “Of course. Have you forgotten who I am?”

Wynn nodded and then shook her head, saying worriedly, “But the enemy this time is the Michaels

family from Golden City. They are among the 100 richest families, and they are worth almost ten billion

in assets.”

Oh, so she was worried that he could not handle them.

“Don’t worry, honey,” Philip said.

Wynn shook her head helplessly. She did not pin all her hopes on Philip.

Even if Philip was from the Capital City Clarke Group, he probably could not help her with this.

It was not simply a matter of who was richer. There were complicated networks of connections and

status involved.

“Alright, you can leave now. Give me some time to figure it out myself.”

Wynn said.

Philip blinked. So his wife still did not trust him.

Philip left the chairwoman’s office and soon saw the company’s upper management all walk into the

conference room.

He had nothing else to do now, so he walked around the company. Lo and behold, he actually bumped

into Houston Michaels!

Houston was with two of his subordinates dressed in black suits, his arm around a sexy secretary who

leaned on him!

“Philip Clarke? Why are you wandering around again? Don’t you need to work?”

Houston’s expression darkened, and he began acting like a leader, scolding Philip. “I always see you

loafing around. Seriously, what is Wynn thinking? At the meeting later today, I’ll propose that we fire

you!”

Philip did not even do anything. Some people just wanted to see the world burn!

Philip put his hands in his pockets and glanced at the secretary clinging onto Houston’s arm.

Well, well, what a sight!

No wonder Houston looked green in the gills. That woman was probably milking him for all he was

worth!

“What are you looking at? Don’t like my attitude? I’m telling you, I don’t take lightly to people I don’t like

you. You don’t have to come to work anymore tomorrow! Even if you are Wynn’s husband, I’m the one

in charge of this company now!”

Houston pointed at Philip’s nose and barked at him, the corners of his lips rising coldly and

uncontrollably.

Philip shrugged. “Well, sorry, Mr. Michaels. Why don’t you ask Madam Johnston about that directly?”

Houston frowned and continued to rant, “No matter how good she thinks she is, she’s just the

chairwoman of a tiny company! I’m the young master of the Michaels estate! If she disagrees, my dad

will just pull out of their project. When that happens, I want to see her beg on her knees!”

“Yeah! Housey here is the young master of the Michaels. You’re just a tiny employee, how dare you talk

to Mr. Michaels like that!”

The secretary, Shirley Wellington, used this chance to insult Philip on Houston’s behalf, trying to win

more of Houston’s favor.

However, she did not know Philip.

Right now, for instance, Philip’s fists were itching for a fight.
