Chapter 537

Smack!

The moment Shirley spoke, Philip instantly slapped her across the face.

Without an ounce of hesitation!

Right in front of Houston, without a hint of fear!

Shirley was stunned. She held her cheek, which had a scarlet handprint on it, and she looked at Philipwith widened eyes for a long time before screaming hysterically, “How dare you hit me! Mr. Michaels,he hit me!”

Houston was taken aback by Philip’s ferociousness too. The next second, he erupted in rage!

Philip had smacked his woman before his very eyes!

Houston pointed at Philip and howled, “The sheer nerve! How dare you! Don’t you know who she is?!”

“I know. She’s your little honey baby,” Philip said off-handedly.

“You!”

Houston was so furious that his face was crimson, and he raised his hand, swinging it at Philip.

Of course, he was no match for Philip. They had barely crossed swords when Philip twisted his armand pressed him against the wall!

“Let go! I’m the vice-chairman here! Lay a hand on me and I’ll fire you right now! I’ll tell my dad to pullout of the deal, then both you and your wife will go to prison!”

Houston put up a struggle.

Philip said into his ear coolly, “Houston, don’t keep threatening me with your position as vice-chairman,and definitely stop talking about firing me. I’ve heard you say those things countless times now, but I’mstill here.”

Houston’s face contorted, and he roared, “You think you’re all that, don’t you?! Well, I want to see howyou explain what you’re doing to me to Wynn later!”

Philip could not stand being threatened, so he pressed down with a bit more force and left Houstonwailing. Shirley and the other two subordinates were so scared they backed away.

“Assault, assault! Security! Guards!”

Shirley screamed at the top of her voice, and the entire company hall erupted into chaos.

A few security guards hustled toward them, led by the earlier shift leader, Fabio Lorne. As soon as hearrived, he saw what looked like Tom beating on Jerry.

No, wait, it was Madam Johnston’s useless husband beating up Mr. Michaels!

Fabio was torn. This was exactly a repeat of what happened last time, and he was stuck in the middle.

“Why are you just standing there? Apprehend him!”

Houston yelled at Fabio.

Fabio winced and called up two of the guards, smiling sheepishly at Philip. “Brother Clarke, could youjust let go for now? We can talk things over. If we can’t, I can call Madam Johnston.”

He had no choice. Even if Philip was a useless layabout, he was still the chairwoman’s husband, soFabio could not afford to offend him.

Houston roared in rage. “What the hell are you here for? Brother Clarke, my *ss! Capture him! Or I’ll fireall of you!”

“Gah, you’re so annoying!”

Philip frowned and used a bit more force, dislocating Houston’s arm.

“Argh!”

The next second, Houston screamed in pain, holding his dislocated arm as he ranted, “Catch him, oryou’re all fired!”

Fabio was shocked too. He did not expect Philip to be quite so violent.

“Sorry, Brother Clarke.”

Fabio knew where things stood now, so he went forth and subdued Philip, calling him two subordinatesto take him to the security office.

“Mr. Michaels, should you perhaps go to the hospital?”

Fabio asked with a nod and a bow.

Houston kicked him in the chest, swearing as he led Shirley away. The woman was looking deathlypale, and before they left, Houston even shouted, “Keep an eye on him! If I don’t see him when I comeback later, you’ll be the ones to pay!”

Fabio crawled up from the ground and adjusted his cap. With a sigh, he made his way to the securityoffice.

Inside the office, Philip was sitting like a lord, with fruits and cigarettes offered before him.

The security guards were treating him like a god.

What else could they do? Mr. Lorne had warned them to give Philip the best treatment they couldmanage. After all, that was their chairwoman’s husband!

Philip did not expect such special treatment either, casually eating a banana in the office.

Just then, someone kicked open the security office door, and three men rushed into the room. All ofthem wore security guard uniforms.

“M-Mr. O’Donnell, why are you here?”

One of the young security guards who had led Philip here immediately greeted the newcomers withsmiles.

“Screw off!”

The strongman called O’Donnell was almost 180cm tall and very well-built. His body alone filled theentire door frame.

He stomped toward Philip, holding an electric baton and glaring at Philip. “Are you Philip Clarke? Wereyou the one who beat up Mr. Michaels just now?”

Philip continued eating his banana, crossing his legs nonchalantly.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the two guards O’Donnell had brought in shove the young guardfrom earlier, locking the door behind him.

Hah, they were clearly here looking for a fight!

“You sure have a temper. Let’s see how bold you are now!”

O’Donnell chuckled coldly. His gaze hardened, and he stabbed his baton at Philip’s waist!

Crackle crackle!

Almost instantly, a large body crashed onto the floor!

The other two guards who stood at the door did not realize what was happening when they saw theirleader hitting the ground!

As for the man called Philip Clarke, he was holding a baton emanating blue electric sparks, his footstepping on O’Donnell’s face. Philip tsk-tsked. “Such low tolerance to electrocution.”

The guards at the door were stunned by what they saw!

That was their leader, O’Donnell! He could take three men on by himself, but here he was, electrocutedand collapsed onto the floor.
