Chapter 455
Houston was shocked. He looked into Philip’s eyes and started to feel guilty.
What was wrong with this guy? He did not appear to be a useless bum who depended on his woman... “What are you doing?
What do you mean who sent me? I’m the vice-chairman here! Who are you and how dare you talk to me this way?” Houston’s
face fell. He stared at Philip arrogantly and said.
Philip did not back away. He said calmly, “Then let me give you a piece of advice, Mr. Michaels. Don’t cross my wife, and most
importantly, don’t cross me.” Philip was the heir of an influential family. He knew how to read people. There was something fishy
about Houston Michaels. Hehe! Houston chuckled coldly. How dare a spineless coward threaten him. What a joke!
He was from the Michaels family. He was someone who had the support of the Wallises from Golden City. How dare an idiot like
him have the audacity to speak to him like this. He was digging his own grave! “Madam Johnston, is this your wonderful
husband? He’s indeed amazing. I’m going to report this to the board. I want to see how the board will take care of this!”
Houston’s eyes twitched as he took out his phone to make a call. However, when he looked down, his
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtphone disappeared from his eyes. “How childish.
You’re an adult and you’re trying to tell on us. Are you brain damaged?”
Philip fiddled with the phone he had just snatched with a smile on his face.
He bought this company. What board? He only gave up on his power.
However, he really had no idea when a vice-chairman appeared in Beacon.
He had to ask Old Man George about this later. If it could not work, he would dismiss the board and
give everything to Wynn so that she could have absolute power over the company. “You! What did you
say?” Houston’s eyes went wide. This was the first time someone had the audacity to talk back to him.
He said angrily, “Madam Johnston, look! How can you let this kind of person come into the company?”
“Enough!” Wynn’s face was dark.
She peered at Philip coldly and said, “Philip’s my husband. Everyone saw what happened today. The
people who caused the commotion were outsiders. If anything happens, I’ll take full responsibility.”
“Philip, put the phone down. You should go out first.” Wynn knew that even though she was the
chairwoman of the company and owned 60 percent of the shares, she did not have the power to decide
anything with just one sentence. There was a board of directors behind her. They were the true power
center. Plus, with the funding from foreign investors, Beacon Pharmaceutical was not what it used to be
anymore. Crooks were mixed in with the honest folk. It was extremely lively. Philip shrugged and threw
the phone back to Houston.
Then, he glared at Houston before leaving. Inside the office, Philip could hear a few female employees
whispering among themselves. “There’s a new vice-chairman in the office. He’s quite good looking.” “I
heard he’s one of the Michaels from Golden City. They’re quite powerful in Riverdale.” “A young master
from Golden City! I really hope a Prince Charming like him will fancy me.” “Keep dreaming, you little
wh*re!” … When Philip heard this, he turned around to leave the office. Then, he called Old Man
George and asked, “Old Man George, what’s going on with Beacon? Didn’t I already buy it? Why are
there still other companies investing in it? Who’s Houston Michaels?” “Young Master, this was decided
by Madam Wallis a few days ago. She said it’s an investment to the group, so she needs to have
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsomeone trustworthy inside. That’s why she arranged the Michaels from Golden City to invest in the
company.” George was at the airport now. He replied respectfully. Philip frowned. It was indeed Giada’s
doing. Was she starting to take action against Wynn? Perhaps, she wanted to control him?
“Alright, I got it.” Philip fell silent, and he hung up the phone. Giada was too nosey. He had to teach her
a lesson. If not, she would think that he was a trapped beast. Over here, after Houston exited the
chairwoman’s office, he came to the rooftop. He dialed a number and said in a low voice,
“Madam, it’s not done yet. Someone named Philip appeared out of nowhere.
He’s Wynn’s husband.” On the other end of the phone, an imposing female voice said, “Alright, I got it.” After he hung up,
Houston gritted his teeth.
Who was Philip? He was a bad apple. He ruined Houston’s entire plan!
When it was time to get off work, Wynn went out the door and said to Philip,
“Go to dinner with me. The partners of the company are here to discuss some matters. This is the third time. I can’t drink, so
please help me.” Philip agreed without even considering.
