Chapter 995

Wallace’s expression was very unpleasant. The other party came to his doorstep without any hesitationat all.

They were going to demand an explanation.

Wallace glanced at Jerome and said coldly, “Arrange for someone just in case! This time, don’t messthings up again! Look for Lame Fred!”

Jerome nodded and said, “Understood.”

Then, Wallace followed the female assistant out of the office. In the lobby on the first floor, he sawPhilip, Don, Theo, and others who had been waiting.

The cold expression on Wallace’s face immediately turned into a friendly look as he greeted themcheerfully with a smile. Standing behind Philip who was looking at the interior decor of Phoenix Pavilionwith his hands behind his back, he said, “Young Master Clarke, I wonder if you have anything importantfor your sudden visit?”

Philip turned around, glanced at Wallace indifferently, then flashed an unfathomable smile at thecorners of his mouth. He asked, “Do you know what books I like to read?”

Wallace was startled by this question.

The opponent was not playing by the books.

Wallace smiled superficially. “Young Master Clarke is a person of great vision. The books you readmust be different from those we read. I wonder what sort of books you enjoy reading? I can get mymen to buy me a copy later.”

Philip nodded and stretched out his hand to Theo.

Theo took a book from behind and handed it to Philip respectfully.

Then, Philip flung the book to Wallace. With narrowed eyes, he looked at the other party smugly andsaid, “I wonder if Boss Phoenix has read the book ‘Self-improvement Guide for Actors’?”

With the book in his hand, Wallace glanced at the cover as his eyes flashed with coldness.

Was he mocking him for acting?

Hehe.

Very interesting indeed.

“Young Master Clarke, I haven’t read this book yet. I must look at it properly later.”

Wallace calmed the chill in his eyes and smiled slightly.

Philip did not say anything to that. He turned around and touched a bronze statue of a beast’s headbeside him, saying calmly, “I wonder if you’ve received any news? Just now, a group of people cameafter me and my daughter’s lives at the hospital.”

“What? These thugs are too audacious! Young Master Clarke, tell me who it is and I’ll send someone toarrest them!”

Wallace immediately became agitated and shouted. Those who were not in the know would be fooledinto thinking that he was worried about Philip’s safety and abhorred the evildoers.

Philip turned around, stared at Wallace intently, and said, “But the other party said they were sent byyou.”

There was dead silence at his words.

The atmosphere froze.

Philip stared at the changes in Wallace’s expression before the man roared furiously. “Bullsh*t! They’retalking nonsense and framing me! Young Master Clarke, a wise person like you can’t be blindsided bythem. Someone is trying to sow discord between us and use the auction tonight to make a fuss.”

The performance of Wallace Phoenix truly brought the qualities of an actor into full play.

His expressions and movements were totally comparable to veteran actors!

“Mr. Phoenix, don’t get too excited. I don’t believe that you’d do such things either. After all, I just tookCecil Dane down, so no one would dare to offend me at this time. Otherwise, it’d be too ignorant ofthem,” Philip said lightly, sat down, and took a sip of the tea on the table.

This sentence held a trace of faint warning.

Wallace stood in front of him, bowed slightly, and quickly smiled. “Thank you for your trust in me. Don’tworry, I’ll thoroughly investigate this matter and give you an explanation!”

“Sure.”

Philip grinned suddenly.

Wallace was startled when he saw Philip’s sudden change of expression!

Immediately afterward, more than a dozen street punks who were detained were directly pushed in byTheo’s people from the gates!

Bam!

More than a dozen people were kneeling in the hall on the first floor of Phoenix Pavilion.

Upon seeing this scene, Wallace frowned as his eyelids jumped wildly.

“Mr. Phoenix, why don’t you explain it right now?”

Philip smiled faintly and looked as if he was waiting to watch a good show.

Wallace frowned, turned his head, and glared at Philip as anger welled in his heart.

This damned junior!

How dare Philip put such pressure on him?!

He was trying to make Wallace break the rules!

In the end, he had to take out the people who he hired in the first place. This would leave animpression on outsiders—the impression that Wallace Phoenix could not protect his people!

In that case, Wallace Phoenix’s reputation in Phoenicia would go down the drains!
