Everyone fetched for their phones immediately even though most of them were aware that the phone ringing was not their own. Staring at Deaton, Philip motioned with a jerk of his chin. “It’s yours.” Stunned, Deaton reached for his pockets to realize it was indeed his phone. Most importantly, it was from his company’s secretary. Had he not already established that they were not to disturb him today? Deaton frowned. Having no idea what the meaning behind the call was, he picked it up with a smile. “Right in time. A call from my company’s secretary. I’ll get to ask if my assets have been…” Before he could finish speaking, his ear was met with the anxious voice of his sexy female secretary. “Mr. Wade, something has happened!

Our company’s been bought and transferred to someone else’s name.”

unease in his chest caused his entire body to shiver in fear as he stared at Philip. “Mr. Wade, all your holdings have been transferred to someone else! As of right now, you’ve gone bankrupt!” the female secretary worriedly exclaimed. Bang! Deaton paled as he felt his brain crash. His legs gave out as he landed butt-first on the floor. That was an appalling sight.

f*ck! ‘He was completely screwed!’ All light had vanished from Deaton’s eyes upon hearing Howard’s name. His mind blanked. Bang! Before anyone could get a grasp over what was going on, they found Deaton kneeling before Philip, prostrating and begging him. “Please forgive me. I was wrong, please! I was wrong!” Everyone was dazed. What was happening? Ruby could not believe her eyes as she tugged at Deaton. “What happened, Mr. Wade?” Slap! A furious slap landed on Ruby’s cheek! Deaton stood up with renewed vigor and sent another slap her way as he raged. “F*ck you! You screwed me over, b*tch! All my holdings have been transferred to Howard Lowe!” Ruby was confused. She felt wronged. Cradling her cheek, her eyes were brimmed with unshed tears. “Transferred? You’re joking right, Mr. Wade?” Ruby was petrified. ‘What the f*ck is Deaton doing? Why is he acting along to Philip’s script?’ Deaton appeared in front of Howard the next second and begged on his knees. “Mr. Howard, please! Please, let me go! I’m sorry, I should never have gone after your girl! Please, forgive me!” Deaton was a bright man. He knew that for Philip to just transfer all his holdings away, it meant that this man was practically a god! This was not someone he could offend! He could only beg for forgiveness! Everyone was stunned, shock dawning on all of their faces. Especially Ruby, who looked as if she had been force-fed feces. ‘All of Deaton’s holdings have been

In an instant, everyone’s gaze toward Philip Clark shifted into something indescribable. One call was all it took for him to end Deaton Wade. Philip turned his apathetic gaze to Ruby. “Next up, your turn.” That mere sentence was enough to scare the strength from Ruby’s legs. Dropping onto the floor, she began to bawl. “Brother Clarke! I’m sorry! I shouldn’t have laughed at you! I didn’t know how great of a power you had. Please, forgive me!” That, ladies and gentlemen, was Ruby Ford, a complete b*tch. Philip called her out coldly. “The one you should be apologizing to is Howard!” Howard was still in shock as he watched the woman he had loved for four years crawling and begging on the floor toward him like a b*tch in heat. “Howard! Forgive me, please! I should never have
