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,

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!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmPhilip 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.
