Chapter 674

Until now, Blake had not connected Philip to this matter.

“Five minutes ago,” the voice on the other end said.

Five minutes ago?

Was that the time when Philip had made the call?

Instantly, Blake stared at Philip and asked, “You did this?”

As soon as these words were spoken, Blake started dripping cold sweat.

The people present also realized that something was wrong!

Right at this moment, someone held his phone and exclaimed, “Look at the trending news! The

Michaels family of Golden City is currently under investigation. They’re suspected of smuggling, illegal

fund-raising, and tax evasion!”

“Also, the stocks of Michaels Corp took a plunge and plummeted by 30 percent. They’ve already

stopped trading!”

“Michaels Corp is suspended pending investigation!”

All of a sudden, everyone in the audience looked at their mobile phones, and each piece of news was

blasted out like a broadcast!

Blake was utterly frantic!

He quickly scrolled through his phone. As he read each piece of news, he was completely flustered.

At this time, phone calls came continuously, all from representatives of the company’s shareholders.

“Hello. What? You want to divest?

“What? The trading stopped? No way! Find a way to stabilize it! Hold it! I’ll go back and find a way!

“Help me contact Cody Bard!”

Blake was in a mess. Michaels Corp had encountered the biggest crisis in history!

All of this was caused by Philip who stood across from him.

He glared at Philip with burning eyes and roared, “Philip, you’re playing with fire! Although I don’t know

what methods you used to achieve this, I can tell you that everything’s in vain! The Michaels family has

a strong backer!”

“Backer?” Philip chuckled and said, “Are you talking about Cody Bard?”

After that, Philip turned on the LCD TV in the hall and switched the channel to Golden City TV.

Coincidentally, it was an urgent news broadcast!

“Dear citizens, Cody Bard is suspected of transferring interests and has been handed over to the

investigation department. Among them, the largest agency that benefited directly is Michaels Corp!”

Seeing the news, Blake totally panicked. He slumped as his feet staggered, and his body was

drenched in a cold sweat.

He was doomed!

Cody Bard was his backer, but he was arrested!

At this time, Blake finally realized what a big mistake he had made.

Philip Clarke was not a kitten but a tiger—A tiger that swallowed people whole without spitting out

bones!

“Calm down! Calm down!”

After all, Blake was the head of Michaels family and had gone through turbulent times.

At this time, he did not conceal anything anymore.

He quickly took out his phone and dialed Giada’s number, saying with a panicked tone, “Madam, we’re

in trouble. The Michaels family is finished!”

On the other end of the line, Giada said mildly, “Blake Michaels, you’re no longer under the protection

of the Wallis family. You have to deal with this matter on your own.”

The phone disconnected right after that.

At this moment, Blake realized that he was alone and completely abandoned.

He was a discarded pawn!

The knight had been sacrificed to save the queen!

Blake collapsed. He closed his eyes, clutched his chest, and passed out in the hall.

As for Philip, he just looked at all this coldly. His eyes swept over everyone present before he said to

Theo, “Everyone here who insulted Wynnie or did anything to her will go bankrupt.”

Philip turned and left after leaving that instruction!

The people in the hall realized Philip’s formidable methods and knelt on the ground, pleading, “Mr.

Clarke, please have mercy!”

However, Philip would not spare the slightest sympathy to these people.

“To Cirrus Manor,” Philip got in the car and ordered.

The convoy headed toward Cirrus Manor.

At this moment, Cirrus Manor was already heavily guarded. Giada, wearing a white long skirt that

reached her knees, sat dignified and elegantly on the white goose down sofa in the hall. She was

holding the Persian cat in her arms.

Vivian stood behind her.

In the hall, eight guards from the Wallis family stood on two sides, all fully-armed.

“Giada Wallis!”

A loud roar came from the door!

Philip aggressively led a group of people and swarmed in!
