Not to mention that Michael at the head of the table was the Rhodes family’s heir apparent. For Andrew, a mere deputy chief, to dare call him incompetent was unthinkable.
Marcus kept his mouth firmly shut this time. Though he admired Andrew, he was not about to get dragged down by someone bent on self–destruction.
A heavy thud echoed through the room as one of the veteran executives, a burly man, slammed his palm on the table.
Edward Hills roared, “Where’s security? Get this awless thug out of here right now! And get the legal team here we’re pressing charges for his outrageous slander against Mr. Rhodes. I’ll make sure this arrogant punk rots in jail!”
