Chapter 343 The Great Humiliation
However, Philip’s very own grandson, of whom he had always been proud since childhood, was now indirectly threatening him in front of a large audience!
This was tantamount to publicly opposing him!
Philip’s face turned ashen. His hands gripped the cane so tightly that his knuckles turned white. He questioned, “If I insist on leaving, what can you do? Hold me down?”
He wanted to see just how far Jordan would go.
Jordan looked at Philip, his expression calm and unwavering. If one looked closely, they could see that both of their eyes shared the same amber hue.
“Grandpa, you’re getting old. I’m worried about you going upstairs alone. After we watch the video, Il have bodyguards personally escort you upstairs.
With that, Jordan signalled to the bodyguards. Several men approached and gently but firmly removed Arthur and Stephanie from Philip’s sides. Each took one of Philip’s arms and said, “Master, this way, please.”
Though their attitude was resolute, their actions were noticeably gentle. Their intended direction was clear; they took Philip towards the computer Jordan had set up. The purpose was unmistakable.
Philip’s face darkened even more, and the look in his eyes turned fiercer. He rapped his cane on the floor and commanded sharply, “Arthur, get rid of them! A bunch of young fools daring to show off in front of
mel
Arthur was the most accomplished special forces soldier trained by Philip himself. He should have no trouble handling these bodyguards.
However, Arthur, who usually obeys Philip without question, did not move this time.
Philip frowned at him. He was clearly dissatisfied with his defiance. He questioned, “Arthur, are you disobeying me now?”
Though two bodyguards held Arthur, he showed no intention of resisting.
He pressed his lips together and spoke, “Master, you should listen to Mr. Jordan and watch the surveillance video. I don’t think it’s Mr. Anthony’s fault.”
Arthur had stayed with Philip for a long time. He had watched Anthony grow up and knew his character well.
Despite his rebellious behaviour, Anthony always had limits and was not like other spoiled rich kids who indulged in debauchery. Anthony/appeared carefree but was kind–hearted and sensitive. Arthur felt pained to see him misunderstood.
Philip often found Anthony irresponsible and was very harsh with him. Regardless of the situation, Anthony always ended up apologising, which was difficult for Arthur to witness. However, Philip was his longtime superior, and he never dared to speak up.
As Philip grew more stubborn with age, it became increasingly difficult to change his views.

Now, Arthur saw an opportunity to clear Anthony’s name and was willing to take it, even if it meant defying orders and facing punishment later.
Moreover, Arthur trusted Jordan’s thoroughness and preferred to believe him.
Arthur declared, ‘Sorry, Master, but even if it means defying orders, I can’t let you falsely accuse Mr. Anthony this time.”
“You… Fine! You’re all against me now. Is that it?”
Philip’s face twisted in anger, and he blurted out harsh words. Jordan remained expressionless, as he had seen nothing. He signalled the bodyguards to lead Philip to the table.
The bodyguard, understanding the situation, led the old man to a seat at the table.
Ivan then cooperatively played the surveillance video on the computer, and clear dialogue filled the room. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
Meanwhile, in an unnoticed corner, Fiona’s face turned pale with fear.
It’s over!
This is truly the end!
What started as a minor skirmish had now escalated beyond her control. Her family would face doom if Philip discovered the truth!
Cold sweat beaded on Fiona’s forehead as she bit her lip until it was bloodless. Trembling, she tugged at Stephanie’s sleeve and begged, ‘Stephanie, what should I do now? You have to save me.”
Stephanie frowned at Fiona’s terrified demeanour and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Fiona forced a smile, unsure how to explain. “I…”
She never expected Jordan to take things this far. She had lied to Stephanie and Philip, blaming everything on Milly. If they saw the footage, her deceit would be exposed.
Noticing Fiona’s evasiveness, Stephanie sensed something was wrong. Clearly, Fiona was hiding something from her.
Before she could question her, Philip, having watched the video, erupted in rage. He slammed his palm on the table, causing a loud thud as the table let out a muffled noise under his force.
“Outrageous! This is simply outrageous!”
Fiona shuddered at the roared. Her knees went weak, she collapsed to the floor and bursting into tears. Fiona apologised, “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it, I really didn’t! I’m so sorry, I’ll never do it again!”
Philip’s face darkened further.
After experiencing a lifetime of ups and downs, he had never fallen into the trap of a mere girl. It was a disgrace!
To make matters worse, he had misunderstood his own grandchildren because of a stranger whose name he didn’t even know.

“Alright, it’s clear I didn’t handle this well. Now that I understand the whole story, we’ll follow Jordan’s decision. Our family won’t be a doormat.”
This meant he would hold Fiona’s family accountable.
Fiona’s mind buzzed at this. Her body was trembling even more; a cold sweat was soaking her back. She muttered to herself in a daze. “This can’t be happening! It can’t! My parents would kill me if they learned.
of this.”
Desperately, she crawled to Stephanie. Fiona clung to her legs and pleaded, “Stephanie, please save me. If my parents find out, they’ll kill me! Your family is wealthy; losing 3 million isn’t much, but my family will go bankrupt!”
