Chapter 245


    The two security guards standing at the door immediately approached and grabbed Attlee’s hand.


    “What are you up to?” “Please escort this gentleman out,” the receptionist stammered, her face pale


    with fear.


    “Let go of me. I need to see Mr. Collins. I have something to say.”


    The two guards grabbed his arms and shoved him out the door, barring him from re–entering the


    Through the towering ss door, Attlee saw a few receptionistsforting the girl, who was still pale


    from fright.


    Innocent, speechless, and helpless, Attlee pleaded, “Guys, I mean no harm. Have you heard of Murphy


    Fashion? I’m the CEO. Here’s my business card.”


    He pulled out his business card, but the guards didn’t even spare him a nce,pletely ignoring


    him.


    Attlee tried to move forward, but the two guards immediately blocked him. “What are you trying to do?


    Get embarrassed again?”


    Attlee had never been so humble in his life. If not for thepany’s crisis, he wouldn’t be wasting his


    time here with two security guards.


    “Guys, let me pass. I really have business matters to discuss with your CEO.”


    The guards eyed him up and down, his clothes in disarray, his demeanor downcast. He did not look like


    a client of their CEO!


    Just then, the CEO’s private elevator door opened.


    Hans Collins stepped out, ncing at the time. It was six in the afternoon; his sister should be home by


    now, right?


    Just as he was about to step out of the building, he heard someone calling him.


    “Mr. Collins, I’m Attlee from Murphy Fashion. You should know me, right?”


    Attlee finally saw his target and tried to approach him, but was blocked by the two guards.


    “Let me go, let go.” Unable to break free from the guards, Attlee could only yell, “I don’t know how I


    have offended you. If it’s about the Maestro Melody incident, I’m sorry. I’ll pay thepensation by


    midnight! We’ve already apologized to her!”

    Hans Collins was confused.


    “Can you give us a chance? Give us a break. To be honest, ourpany is in deep trouble, and with


    what you had your people do, ourpany is barely hanging on!”


    “Mr. Collins, you must love the maestro’s piano pieces, right? You should know that the maestro was


    from ourpany. Can you be magnanimous and forgive us this once? Can we move on?”


    Hans Collins was speechless.


    What the hell was this man talking about? He didn’t understand a word.


    Just then, Julian pulled up in front of Hans Collins and opened the door for him.


    Hans Collins got into the car,pletely ignoring Attlee behind him.


    “Mr. Collins, please wait. Give me a chance. I promise I won’t make the same mistake.” Before Attlee


    could finish, he was choked by the car’s exhaust fumes.


    The two security guards looked at him as if they were looking at a homeless dog who had lost its


    home.


    “What are you looking at? Do you even have the right to gawk at the misfortunes of Tranquil City’s


    richest man?”


    “Do you have a death wish?”


    “Heh, what are you up to? Dare to hit me? ”


    From the rear–view mirror, the driver, Julian, saw Attlee being beaten up by the two guards and thrown


    out of the door. He asked in confusion, “Boss, what happened?”


    “I don’t know,” Hans Collins replied, looking straight ahead and sitting upright. He didn’t take this little


    incident seriously, thinking that Attlee had mistaken him for someone else. He just wanted to go home


    and see his sister.
