Chapter 1146 An Idiot
Chapter 1146 An Idiot
Mr. McDaniel lost his cool, held the phone tightly, and growled on the phone, “You’re such an idiot! You’re not my son!”
At that moment, Mr. McDaniel was just like Clay who had made a scene in Sydney’s office.
No wonder Clay was Mr. McDaniel’s son. They not only looked like each other, but their manners were similar.
Clay didn’t expect Mr. McDaniel to be so angry. Clay shrank his neck in fright and put the phone further away.
Clay covered his ear and complained on the phone, “Dad, what are you doing? I’m still in the car, and my assistant is also here. Save my face. How can you say that I’m an idiot?”
Mr. McDaniel laughed in anger, “See what you did. Save your face? Don’t you feel ashamed?”
Clay felt annoyed and retorted in confusion, “What did I do?”
Mr. McDaniel sneered, “What did you do? You will know it soon. Come back within half an hour. If I didn’t see you in half an hour, you would be screwed.”
As soon as Mr. McDaniel finished speaking, he hung up.
Clay continued to talk on the phone but heard nothing. Clay took back the phone and had a look at it. Only then did he find that Mr. McDaniel had hung up.
Clay threw the phone on the seat, frowned, and mumbled, “What’s the matter with him? Why is he so angry?”
The assistant was driving the car. When he heard Clay’s mumble, he rolled his eyes secretly.
‘The stupid Mr. Clay doesn’t know why Mr. McDaniel gets angry, but I know it.
‘Mr. McDaniel asked Mr. Clay to apologize to Ms. Raines, but Mr. Clay messed it up.
‘Of course, Mr. McDaniel gets angry.’
Although the assistant knew why Mr. McDaniel got angry, the assistant didn’t remind Clay.
‘Mr. Clay is stupid. Even if I remind him, it will be in vain.
‘I’d better focus on driving.’
The assistant turned the steering wheel and thought about it calmly.
At the same time, in the Flint Corporation, after Julien met a client and walked out of the reception room, he saw Zach walking over solemnly.
Julien stopped and asked, “What has happened?”
Zach stood in front of Julien and said, “Mr. Flint, something has happened to Ms. Raines again.”
“Again?” For an instant, Julien’s expression changed, and he felt annoyed.
Seeing that, Zach pushed his glasses up his nose and comforted Julien, “Mr. Flint, calm down. Don’t worry. It’s just a trivial matter. The McDaniel family went to Skylight Corporation to see Ms. Raines.”
“The McDaniel family?” Hearing that the McDaniel family went to see Sydney, Julien didn’t calm down but became colder.
The McDaniel family disliked Sydney.
Thus, as soon as Julien heard that the McDaniel family went to see Sydney, he thought that they went there to make things difficult for her.
Of course, Julien was in a bad mood.
Seeing Julien lifting his foot and walking forward, Zach followed him and replied, “Mr. Clay of the McDaniel family.”
Julien narrowed his eyes. “It’s him. Do you know why he went to see Leaf?”
Zach shook his head, “I didn’t ask, but an employee of Skylight Corporation shot the whole scene, posted it online, and explained Mr. Clay’s purpose. Mr. Clay said that he went to see Ms. Raines to apologize for what happened yesterday.”
Julien mocked as if he had heard a joke, “Apologize? Is he willing to apologize?”
Zach said with a smile, “You’re right. It didn’t go well.”
Julien compressed his lips. “What happened?”
Zach said, “I don’t know it exactly. After all, I didn’t see it personally. According to the video online that was posted by the employee of Skylight Corporation, it seemed that Mr. Clay didn’t apologize to Ms. Raines sincerely. He not only didn’t take Erin to apologize to Ms. Raines, but also he didn’t take any gifts. What was worse, his attitude was terrible. Thus, Ms. Raines asked security guards to throw them out."
Julien stopped in surprise. “What did you say? Threw them out?”
“You’re right.”
“Leaf did it?”
“The employee who posted the video said that it was Ms. Raines’ order. Mr. Clay and his assistant were pulled and thrown out of Skylight Corporation violently by four security guards. Mr. Clay even fell outside the door, which was also shot and posted online.”
Zach said as he took out his phone, clicked it, and showed it to Julien. “Here you are.”
Julien took Zach’s phone and watched the video.
When Julien saw that Clay and his assistant were pulled out of the elevator and thrown out of Skylight Corporation by the four security guards, Julien smiled, “Leaf did a good job. They were shameless and deserved it.”
Julien returned the phone to Zach and said fiercely, “Clay has a nasty tongue.”
Zach took the phone and looked at Julien, “Need I arrange for someone to teach him a lesson?”
“What do you think?” Julien glanced at Zach.
Zach pushed his glasses up his nose and said with a smile, “Got it. Leave it to me. I will teach him a lesson and won’t let you down.”
Julien nodded, pushed open the door of his office, took out his phone, and called Sydney.
Zach followed Julien and closed the door sensitively. Then he stood in front of Julien’s desk and waited to report other things to Julien after Julien made the phone call.
Soon, Sydney answered the phone and said in a pleasant voice, “Hello?”
Julien pulled out the chair, sat down, and asked directly, “Did Clay bully you?”
Sydney put down the pen in her hand, leaned back against the chair, and said with a smile, “Of course not. I knew that you would call me and ask about it. Don’t worry. I haven’t been bullied by
him. I’m not a pushover.”
Hearing Sydney’s smile, Julien knew that it was true that she hadn’t been bullied. He breathed a sigh of relief, “That’s good. I’m sorry that I didn’t know the McDaniel family would go to see you.”
“Never mind. It’s understandable that you didn’t expect it.” Seeing that Julien reproached himself for it, Sydney felt funny and shook her head. “I didn’t expect it either, but it’s not surprising after I thought about it. The McDaniel family wanted to rely on you to keep their glory, but they couldn’t see you and needed to pull strings to get close to you. Grandma and I were their best choice. Thus, it’s not strange that they went to see me. Besides, you broke with them for me yesterday. To get your forgiveness, it’s more reasonable for them to apologize to me.”
Julien said with sarcasm, “If they sincerely wanted to apologize, they should have apologized yesterday. However, they didn’t go to apologize to you until they confirmed that I broke with them and Grandma refused to help them. It shows that they had never thought that they were wrong and didn’t take you seriously at all. Although they wanted to ease the relationship with me, they didn’t choose to apologize to you first. They’re hypocritical.”
Sydney smiled, “They’re hypocritical indeed. Felicia called you yesterday and told you what had happened, right? The McDaniel family went to see Grandma to pull strings to ease the relationship with you. However, they didn’t take any gifts to Grandma. It’s ridiculous. They didn’t take any gifts either when they went to see me today.”
Julien nodded, “I knew it. I watched the videos online.”
Sydney moved her stiff neck. “Now that you watched it, there is no need for me to repeat it. I’m not interested in their gifts, but the gifts stand for their attitude.”
