Chapter 473

"So what? What can you do to me?" Terrence taunted, unaware of the impend

ing trouble he had brought upon himself.

"I'm Roderick

Brooks, and you work for me. What do you think I can do to you?" Roderick

asked coldly.

"Still keeping up the act, I see. Do you think I'd really buy this crap y

ou're spouting?" Terrence snorted.

*Terrence Stone, I'm officially informing you that you have been fired by

Brooks Corporation, effective today. You need not come to work tomorrow.

" Roderick wasted no time in making the decision.

"Hahaha! You're firing me? You're something else, aren't you!" Terrence g

ulfawed. "Truth be told, I have a powerful person

backing me up in Brooks Corporation. Even Roderick Brooks is in no positi

on to fire me, much less an impostor like you!"

"Is that so? Well, would you be so kind as to enlighten me who the person

backing you up might be?" Roderick asked sternly. If someone like this w

as the manager, it was high time Brooks Corporation had a restructuring.

"You have no business finding out who the

person is. All you need to know is that you'll be sorry if you ever mess

with me!' Terrence expressed conceitedly.

"How insolent!" Roderick huffed. "I don't want to waste my time speaking

to you. Pass the phone to Mr. Rhys!"

"What's the matter? Can't hold up the act any longer? You're no fun." Ter

rence then tossed the phone back to Dustin and ridiculed, "My man, this a

ctor you found yourself is pretty incompetent at what he does! He lacks t

he necessary charisma. I say he needs to go back and brush up on his skil

ls!"

"Actor?" Dustin stifled a laugh. "I wasn't lying: he really is Roderick B

rooks!"

"Heh! If he's Roderick Brooks, then I'm Roderick Brooks' father!" Terrenc

e said without giving it much thought.

Dustin simply found him amusing. Terrence was quite a stubborn one. Dusti

n had already reminded him multiple times that it was really Roderick Bro

oks he was speaking with, and yet he took no heed and continued to speak

with such arrogance. He'd be in for a lough time when he went to work the

next day.

"Mr. Rhys, do you know this person?" Roderick suppressed his anger.

"I don't know him well. This is my first time meeting him," Dustin said w

ith a chuckle.

"That's good to know." Roderick heaved a sigh of relief. If Dustin were o

n close terms with Terrence, then he wouldn't act rashly. But since they

weren't, he could handle things his way.

"Alright, Mr. Brooks, I'll leave you to carry on with your day then. I'll

contact you some other time." Dustin quickly ended the call. His intenti

on had just been to give Terrence a warning so that he didn't behave so a

rrogantly. Who'd have known that he was so foolhardy and went so far as t

o insult his boss like that?

"Your act's been busted, my man. Is there any point keeping it going?" Te

rrence looked down his nose at Dustin, wearing a wise and discerning expr

ession as if he had seen through Dustin's lie.

"Hah! I think he's the only one fooled by his act! Some people really kno

w no shame! Julie shook her head, looking at Dustin like he was nothing b

ut a clown.

"What's the meaning of all this, Florence? How could you bring a scammer

to our table? Are you insulting us?" Victoria was upsel.

"Dustin! Can you please cut your bullshit? Are you not ashamed of yoursel

f? Because I am!" Florence shot daggers at him out of her eyes. Why did h

e have to act like he was all that when they were just having a meal? And

what's worse was that his lie got busted! It was downright embarrassing!

"There's no point saying anything more. You'll find out the truth tomorro

w." Dustin gave a faint smile, not bothering to explain further. He knew

that no matter what he said, these people weren't going to believe him.

"Quick! This is the place! I saw him go in!"

Right then, a commotion broke out at the door. They looked up and saw an

obese man with a bunch of henchmen coming in menacingly. The person takin

g the lead was none other than Duncan Doyle, who had had a run–

in with Dustin in a bar a few days back.

"Here he is!" Duncan's eyes swept across the diner, and he quickly spotte

d Dustin. With his henchmen in tow. he stormed up to him.
