Chapter 1571:
A flash of irritation darkened Devonteâs expression. His grip on the phone tightened until his knuckles turned white.
âGet out!â he snapped.
âHuh?â Moira blinked, momentarily stunned.
Devonteâs patience snapped like a brittle thread. He grabbed the ashtray from the table and hurled it in her direction.
âGet out. Donât make me say it again!â
The ashtray crashed onto the floor beside Moira, missing her eye by a fraction.
Fear shot through Moira like an electric current. Her heart pounded, and her forehead broke out in a cold sweat.
âYes, Mr. Coleman. I⦠Iâll leave right away.â
She nodded frantically, her voice quivering as she quickly backed away. After Moira left, Devonte loosened his tie, his irritation palpable, and picked up the landline to call Tiffany. The phone rang endlessly, but there was no answer.
Tiffany had just finished feeding Felix and was cleaning the bottles when she received a call from Devonte, who was using Melindaâs phone.
âIf I hadnât used Melindaâs phone, were you planning to ignore my calls forever?â Devonteâs cold, mocking laugh rumbled through the receiver, low and guttural.
It was harsh, raw, and crackling with rage.

âDid you wake up on the wrong side of the bed today?â Tiffany taunted.
Devonteâs tone was rougher than before as he said, âI agreed to the terms you proposed last time. Therefore, quit stirring up trouble and come back to the company to sign the renewal contract!â
Tiffany arched a delicate brow but remained silent.
âAre you still not satisfied?â Devonte frowned.
Tiffany finished cleaning the bottle and stepped out of the bathroom, her voice smooth and unhurried.
âDevonte, has anyone ever told you that you are incredibly arrogant?â
âWhat exactly do you want, Tiffany?â Devonte roared furiously.
âI donât want anything. I just want to say goodbye to you permanently.â
Tiffany glanced at Clint and raised an eyebrow. Then, with a mischievous smile, she continued, âOh, by the way, werenât you looking for Clint? Heâs right next to me. Should I pass him the phone?â
Clintâs gaze shifted slowly from Felix to Tiffany as he processed her words. A thought flickered in his mindâwas she using him as leverage to escape whatever misery she was in?
Without hesitation, Tiffany pressed the speakerphone button and beamed at Clint.
âClint, Mr. Coleman from Star Entertainment would like to talk to you.â
On the other end of the phone, Devonte clearly hadnât grasped what was going on.
âWhat do you mean?â he asked, his voice laced with uncertainty.
Clint, who had just finished comforting Felix, glanced at Tiffany before lifting Felix toward her, a soft, warm smile spreading across his face. He appeared to have no problem with Tiffany using him. On the contrary, he was more than willing.
After a few seconds of silence, the fury on the phone slowly diminished, replaced by Devonteâs hesitant voice.
âMr. Sanderson?â
Clint calmly took the phone, his gaze fixed on Tiffany, and replied, âWhat is it?â
The moment Devonte recognized Clintâs voice, his demeanor shifted, becoming excessively flattering. He showered Clint with compliments and praise before finally revealing his true purpose.
