Chapter 169
Clarence pointed at Kingsley as he explained to Matt, "President Fox, we have no intention of disturbing Old Mrs. Fox! It's that punk who's being unreasonable. He got a bunch of thugs to come and force us out! We can't do anything!"
Henry also wailed as he clutched his nose, "That's right. President Fox, you have to stand up for us! See what they did to my
I n
nose!
Matt's brow jumped a little at the sight of Henry's blood-streaked face.
Truth be told, he was not keen on getting involved with these men from the underworld, who were covered in bandages and had fearsome expressions on their faces.
However, Clark Corporation was one of the five main companies in their chamber of commerce, so he could not just walk away without a word...
When Clarence saw the hesitation in Matt's eyes, he had a brilliant thought. "President
Fox, did you hear about Neveah getting the contract with Coliree Group? Reene is in that room over there. We came here to look for her because of the contract! If Clark Corporation gets to handle this project, it will be highly beneficial for the Roseland Chamber of Commerce!"
Matt's eyes brightened the moment he heard that.
Collaborating with Coliree Group? That was something that he did not even dare dream of!
If Clark Corporation could collaborate with Coliree Group, then surely the Roseland Chamber of Commerce would benefit as well!
Thus, he stepped forward and shouted, "Stop it, all of you! The Wynns are under my protection! Let's see who dares to lay a hand on them now!"
Clarence jumped for joy and began to scream at Leoric. "You heard that?! President Fox has spoken! Get your hands off!"
Leoric did not want to make any rash decisions, so he asked Kingsley, "What now, Mr. Nicholson? It seems like that Fox fellow has some influence."
"What influence?" Kingsley retorted coldly. "He's just an old fogey!" Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
And while he did not say it out loud, in his heart he reminded himself, Matt Fox is one of the people who killed my father!
Leoric felt reassured, and he began to ridicule himself for overthinking it. So what if that guy has some influence? There's no way that he would have more influence than Mr. Nicholson!
Last night, Leoric had personally witnessed how Kingsley planned a shootout!
He did not want to waste any more time, so he instructed his men once more. "Guys, toss all these b*stards out! If anyone tries to fight back, just talk with your fists!"
"Got it!"
The group of young thugs cracked their knuckles and began to threaten the Wynns as they continued chasing them out.
Clarence and all the other Wynns retreated in fright to the stairs, but they kept calling out, "President Fox! Help us, President Fox!"
Meanwhile, Matt was utterly humiliated!
This was the first time that someone actually disregarded him like that!
He stared at Kingsley with a grim expression.
"I am the president of Prime Corporation and the chairman of the Roseland Chamber of Commerce! How dare you ignore me like that!"
When the crowd of patients and their families heard Matt's words, their jaws dropped.
"The chairman of the Roseland Chamber of Commerce? That's the most powerful businessman in all of Cleapolis!"
"I never thought I'd ever meet a corporate giant like him! What luck!" Matt stuck his nose in the air once he heard the crowd's murmurs. He pulled himself up straight and stared derisively at Kingsley.
While he might not be as wealthy or influential as men like Francis Stein and Jeremy Windsor, he was still someone that these ordinary people would look up to!
He thought that Kingsley would jump in fright and apologize as soon as he introduced himself, but instead, Kingsley simply smirked.
"I didn't ignore you. I heard your bullsh*t just fine."
"You!"
Matt's expression darkened in fury.
"You... How dare you humiliate me like this!"
In his anger, the veins along his forehead began to throb, and his eyes were bloodshot.
This was the most humiliated he had ever been!
Clarence had been chased out right in front of his eyes. What would happen if the other members of the Roseland Chamber of Commerce heard about this? How could he remain the chairman?
If he could not even deal with a kid in his twenties, how would he be able to command others in the future?
This was a mortifying disgrace!
With that thought in mind, Matt howled at Kingsley in fury, "Hey punk! First, you threw out Clarence Wynn, and now you're going against me? Are you trying to pick a fight with the entire Roseland Chamber of Commerce?"
"Roseland Chamber of Commerce?" Kingsley's eyes grew colder. "I've been itching to deal with you all!"
He did not forget that it was the five great corporations of the Roseland Chamber of Commerce that imposed those sanctions on Neveah!
"I see how it is!" Matt had turned pale from rage. "Sooner or later, you'll be regretting what you've done today!"
As soon as he said those words, Michael strode out of Helen's hospital room.
"Matt, what's going on? Mom is asking why you're not back yet."
