A Billionaire In Disguise

Chapter 104

Staring coldly at everyone’s faces in the living room, Mr. Stony clutched his fist and harshly inquired,

“Who is Charles Barlow?”

“Is there a problem?” Charles asked as he glared at Mr. Stony.

“Are you him?”

“Yes,”

In shock, the rest of the family watched as Mr. Stony charged at Charles, grabbed him by the neck, and

body-slammed him to the floor.

“What is wrong with you?” William shouted as he watched Mr. Stony’s fist slammed into his son’s left

cheek.

Then he tried to rush over to them, but Mr. Stony's bodyguards shot him a warning look, causing

William to stop in his tracks.

With tears in her eyes, William’s wife clutched onto his arm and cried, “Honey, do something.”

But he was too much of a coward to do anything, and his feet felt frozen to the floor as he watched as

his son got beat up.

“You are the punk that my wife is cheating on me with!” Mr. Stony angrily intoned before landing

another vicious punch on Charles’ face.

Everyone was shocked to learn that he was Estelle’s husband since the article stated that he was in

the hospital and fighting to survive.

In a fit of rage, Charles struggled to get his hands beneath Mr. Stony’s chest. Then he forcefully pushed

him off him and hastily stood to his feet.

It took a moment for Mr. Stony to get off the floor, and when he finally got back on his feet, he stared at

his bodyguards, knowing that they were waiting on his order to beat up Charles.

However, he didn't utter a word since he felt calmer after unleashing his anger on Charles.

“You are the one behind the article?” Mr. Barlow asked, realizing that things had become more

complicated.

“Yes,” Mr. Stony casually said as he wiped his hand with a handkerchief.

Out of anger, Charles sneered and shouted, “Do you know what your lies have cost me!”

“Shut up!” Mr. Barlow lashed out as he glared at his grandson.

Although Charles felt more enraged by his grandfather’s remark, he could see fear in his eyes and he

knew that something wasn't right, so he kept silent.

Staring away from Charles, Mr. Barlow gazed at Stony and pleadingly said, “I am sorry for my

grandson's ignorance. He's still a…”

“I don't care about your apologies, Franco! Your grandson decided to get involved with my wife even

though there's a, ‘No relationship with clients policy’ at your company! Why?” Mr. Stony calmly uttered,

and yet his tone was cold.

The answer to his question was something Mr. Barlow knew not to say, so he kept quiet, and lowered

his head.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“You so-called rich folks are always trying to leech off us wealthy people. That's why you were okay

with your grandson breaking your company rules because Estelle is loaded with money. Am I right?”

Mr. Stony shouted as he glowered at Mr. Barlow.

Then he turned his focus on Charles and coldly uttered, “ Estelle’s money is mine money, and that so-

called one hundred million dollar project is also being funded with mine cash!”

Hearing those words, the reality of his situation suddenly became clear to Charles and he finally

understood that he was about to sink faster than someone caught in a quicksand.

“Mr. Stony, I didn't know Estelle was your wife. I swear!” Charles humbly intoned, striving to suppress

his pride.

“Read my lips.” Mr. Stony coldly said, “I don't care!”

A look of shock crossed Charles' face, and yet he kept silent, seeing how coldly Mr. Stony was staring

at him.

After glaring at Charles for a while, he turned his focus on Mr. Barlow and said, “Your grandson is on

my hate list, and that news is just half of the punishment that I have in-store for him. Attempt to do

something about it, and I will rain terror on DreamTeam INC!”

Then he tossed his stained handkerchief to the ground and said, “Don't test my patients because I'm

not the guy you would want to mess with!”

None of the Barlow spoke as they watched Mr. Stony walked out of the living room with his

bodyguards.

It took a few minutes for everyone to come to the realization of what had just happened, and when Mr.

Barlow did, he tightened his fist as he tried not to lose control of his rage.

“How much chaos and disgrace are you all going to bring to this family!” Mr. Barlow roared as his anger

broke loose.

At that moment, Catherine walked into the living room, fully dressed for work. Then she froze when she

saw the bruises on Charles’ face.

Afterward, she stared at her grandfather’s mad eyes, and for a well-known reason, she didn't ask any

questions.

“Grandfather, I can fix this! Give me a chance to do so, please!” Charles desperately cried.

“There's no fixing anything! Stony is not a man to cross. You can't be a part of DreamTeam. I will have

to fire you!” Mr. Barlow said, a bit calmer this time.

Those words left Charles dumbfounded for a moment. Then he slightly shook his head and mumbled,

“Give me a second chance.”

“With an enemy like Stony, I don't trust you with the company and the family wealth.” Mr. Barlow firmly

uttered.

“Grandfather!”

“You are not on the listing for the family top inheritor, and you will never be. I can't take such a risk!”

Feeling a sense of anger overwhelming him, William shouted, “Father, you can't do this!”

“I just did, and my words are final.” Mr. Barlow straightforwardly intoned without any hesitation.

Even though he heard those words, Rome's face bore no expression as he walked into the living room

and stood beside Catherine.

But unlike him, the others seem rather shocked by Charles' sudden downfall.

‘So it is just Catherine, and me now?’ Richard thought with a touch of uncertainty in his eyes.

“I should get to the office, and see what I can do to calm the situation down.” Mr. Barlow said, taking a

deep breath.

“What about the press conference?” Madam Rosey asked with a worried expression.

“I will get Ella to cancel it.”

“Will that work?”

“I don't know. But if it doesn't, we can figure out something.”

With anger pumping through his veins, Charles stormed out of the living room.

It didn't take long after he left, for the others to leave too, except for Catherine and Rome.

There was silence in the room for a while. Then Catherine looked at Rome and said, “I don't

understand.”

“Understand what?” Rome calmly asked.

There was a long pause. Then Catherine frowned with her eyes fixed on his and said, “What's going

on? It's like everything is falling apart for everyone else in my family, except for me. It doesn't make

sense.”
