Hearing this, Justin narrowed his eyes.
He sat down on the couch calmly and crossed his legs. Then, he said, âMr. Coleman, what do you mean?â.
âHeh, I thought you and your fiancée were at least in love. I didnât expect you to just be a couple on the surfaceâ¦. I must have misjudged you two. I thought that even if you were a couple on the surface, you had decided to tolerate her for the time being because you were worried that something would happen to the company. However, there must be some grudge in your heart. You donât believe in love anymore, do you?â.
Justin said, âI do believe in it.â
âAre you still trying to act confident? Iâve seen too many PR tactics like yours. Many couples in the entertainment industry have their scandals cleared up by hired people. ha! However, I never expected this to happen to you. I thought you would be more arrogant than the others.â Philipâs voice was very cold. He no longer had the attitude he had on the phone last time. âYou disappoint me!
However, you are indeed mother and son. You are very good at using marriage as a bargaining chip!â
After Philip said that, he sounded a bit stubborn and crazy. He smiled sarcastically. âYouâre just like your mother. Youâll always be like that. Heh, youâve disappointed me! Justin, Iâll make you pay for making me your enemy!â
Justin frowned.
He had sensed Philipâs coldness on the phone earlier.
However, when Philip had called him last time, he had vaguely wanted to give him some advice. Besides, so far, Herman had been the one to make a fuss and scare them. Philip hadnât done anything yet.
At most, he had bought Kingâs 5% share in the Imperial League and supported Herman.
However, this method was childâs play to him.
Suddenly he had said he wanted them to pay the priceâ¦. This gave Justin a bad feeling.
He looked at Lawrence suddenly. âGo, investigate. I suspect⦠Philip is in New York!â
When Lawrence heard this, he instantly straightened his back. âYes!â
In a villa in the suburbs.
A tall, slender figure stood there. The man wore a black suit. Although he was almost fifty years old, he was still handsome. You could tell by his strong eyes that he was American.
If Iris had been there, she would have noticed that Philip had aged.
After all, after twenty years of hardship, his best days were gone forever. At that moment, Philipâs face was cold. He smoked a cigarette with hatred and stubbed it out in the ashtray.
The man was engulfed in smoke. He turned, his eyes red as he smiled sarcastically. âI thought too much of them. Hehe, I thought their son might actually let me see what love was, but they disappointed me too much! Iâm so disappointed!â
Philip stepped forward and paced back and forth. He muttered, âJason, you saw it. I gave them a chance. For the past twenty years, Iâve given them countless chances! But what happened in the end? She didnât pass my test. Even her son has her blood and genes in his bones. She treated love like a marriage deal.â
Behind him stood his secretary, Jason. âPresident Coleman, maybe it really was Justin in that villa? After all, his reappearance at todayâs board meeting was very unexpected. The supposed overseas fundraising was just a stunt, a smokescreen.â
Philip scoffed upon hearing that. âHow is that possible, you think I donât know who Noraâs cheating on him with?â
Jason immediately asked, âWho with?â
Philip narrowed his eyes and scoffed. âTo find out who she was cheating on him with, I got someone to hack into the villaâs system when she entered the villa. I wanted to see who that cute guy was.â
Jason asked, âDid you hack into it?â
âNo,â Philip said slowly.
Jason was stunned when he heard Philip say, âYou know Old K? His hacking skills are top notch. I asked him to do it, but after hacking the system, he hit a snag. In this world, there are only two hackers who can defeat Old K.â
Jason unconsciously replied, âQ and Y? So, is it Q or Y?â â0.â
Philip said slowly, âOld K said that Q should have blocked his attack on that village.â
When Jason heard this, he immediately understood something. He said, âYou mean⦠the man having an affair with Nora is Q?â
Q was a hacker god. It was even more impossible that he was Noraâs bodyguard.
Therefore, after eliminating all kinds of possibilities, there was only one possibility left: Noraâs cute guy was Q!
Philip nodded. âThatâs right. âBesides, then I asked about Q. The Smith Corporation had never been able to convince Q to work for them, but after Nora returned to the family, Q joined them as well. I canât believe those two people have no feelings for each other.â
Jason nodded. âThere must have been some private relationship between Nora and Q! No wonder Q was hiding his identity all along. Turns out they had him in a house of gold!â
Philipâs eyes filled with disappointment. âEven Iâve noticed. With Justinâs personality, do you think he wouldnât notice?â
Jason shook his head. âSure he would.â
You had to admit Justin had talent.
Philip clenched his fists. âSo, Iâve been waiting to see what Justin would do when he finds himself in the same situation as me then. However, I never expected him to be willing to let himself be manipulated by the marriage between the Hunts and the Smith Corporation! Business is important, but is it that important? You really disappoint me.â
Jason lowered his head and sighed quietly.
He had been with his boss for so many years, how could he not understand his thoughts?
The boss had always liked Iris so much that he wanted her to apologize. As long as she kept her head down, the boss would definitely give in.
Otherwise, how could her boss still be single after 20 years?
Besides, even after Iris and Justin violated the agreement back then, the boss didnât plan to kill them all. He had always taken a strong and simple approach.
Even during this fight for the chairmanâs position, the boss had given them a way out.
He had even told himself that if Justin could withstand his test, he might consider letting them go.
After allâ¦he had never seen a smile on Irisâ face like he did when he was with his granddaughter and grandchildren.
However, he hadnât expected Justin to disappoint him so much.
Jason didnât know how to persuade his boss to let him go.
Just then, he heard Philipâs command, âLet themâ¦do it!â
Philip had originally thought that he and Iris had been grounded for 20 years. He really didnât want this to continue. He wanted to let it go. If Justin had given him an answer and told him that he shouldnât have investigated too much, then this matter might have ended.
However, I didnât expect them to keep fighting.
