Chapter: 800
"Uncle, you showed up at the right time! That Suzman guy is a two- faced snake. He’s purposely shifting the blame onto me. You’ve got to stand up for me this time!"
"Stand up for you? How about you fuck off!" The man’s nostrils flared, and he slapped Terrence across the cheeks, sending the latter tumbling onto the ground. One might think he had a vendetta against Terrence based on his furious expression.
"Why did you hit me?" Terrence pressed a hand on his cheek helplessly. Julie and the others quietly exchanged looks of confusion.
"Oh, if only I could tear you into pieces!" The man unleashed his wrath on Terrence.
"Who the fuck did you insult this time? I am in hot water because of you!"
"What happened?" Terrence was utterly lost.
"How dare you fucking ask me?" The man was a ball of fire as he gave Terrence a second slap.
"Mr. Brooks fired me all because of you! I have to clear my desk; worst of all, I’m about to be investigated!"
"What? What happened?" Terrence froze. How could his uncle, the pillar of support for the company, be kicked out all of a sudden?
"Don’t you know what you did?" The man continued impatiently.
"Didn’t you call Mr. Brooks yesterday and insult him in various ways?"
"Yesterday?" After a slight pause, Terrence suddenly came to a realization. He recalled that he had chided a man named Big Bucks Brooks over Dustin’s phone. Was that guy the real deal, not a scammer as he had believed?
"Oh, I’m done for thought Terrence, who slumped onto the floor with a ghastly look on his face.
"How could that happen?" Terrence slumped onto the ground as he grew despondent. He did not expect Roderick Brooks, his boss, to be the subject of his wrath yesterday. Not only was he fired, but he also dragged his uncle down with him as they got kicked out of the company.
"You brat! What are you standing there for? Come with me to apologize to Mr. Brooks now! The man grabbed Terrence by the hair and violently dragged him out. The whole time, a cowering Terrence didn’t utter even a single word of protest.
"What?" Julie’s jaw dropped to the ground at the sight of it. It was hard to fathom how Terrence had fallen from a place of authority and honor to one of shame.
"He totally deserved that! It was his fault for acting like a thug!" Cole scoffed and disappeared into his office.
"Your dear Terrence can’t even save himself," Dustin remarked with amusement.
"It’s all because of you and your stupid predictions! He wouldn’t have been fired if it weren’t for you!" Julie started to lose it.
"How do you even pin that on me? You’re unbelievable." Dustin shook his head, thinking that Terrence deserved everything that had happened. One could see it coming because of Terrence’s impudence, which was fueled by his faith in his uncle’s power and backing.
"That’s enough. Can both of you shut up for a moment? Our top priority is to figure out a solution to that challenge!" Dahlia reminded them of the matter at hand.
"Dahlia, I think we have no choice but to get back and brainstorm. Terrence is fired, and Mr. Suzman isn’t going to budge." Sighing. Julie decided that this was her unlucky day, suffering one loss after another.
