A Billionaire In Disguise novel Chapter 107

Knowing that his brother was about to ruin them all, Anthony stood to his feet and said, "Elijah, how about we do this at home?"

"Home, Nah. We are going to do this here so that everyone can know the kind of hypocrites and betrayals I have as brothers!" Elijah coldly said before sneering.

A slight smirk surfaced on Rome's face, but his expression quickly became straight when Catherine took his hand in hers.

Staring at her, Rome saw a touch of anxiety in her eyes, and he squeezed her hand and mumbled, "It's going to be fine."

Although Catherine was nervous about what her uncle's behavior was going to cost their family, she smiled faintly, trying to find comfort in his words.

"Look, Elijah! I wasn't the one who set you up!" William calmly said, taking a step back as he tried to create a distance between his brother and him, just in case he became violent again.

"Am I supposed to believe that bullcrap! You suddenly got all my clients when my company begin to struggle for unknown reasons!" Elijah said, tightening his fist.

When Madam Rosey finally realized how many cameras were focused on them, she stared at Elijah and said, "Your brother is right! Let's do this at home!"

"Home? I was kicked out, remember! And it's all your precious William's fault!"

"Stop being stubborn and quit this nonsense!"

"I will, but after I tell you all what kind of people my brothers are!"

It was clear to Anthony that Elijah was about to drag him down too, and he grew desperate, so he calmly said, "William has kept it all in for years! Do you think he would betray you now! It doesn't make sense."

Those words confused Mr. Barlow for a while. Then he frowned and shouted, "You both knew from the very beginning that Elijah owns DBA INC!"

A smirk crept on Elijah's lips as he stared at his father's mad eyes. Then he slyly said, "Not only that. They have been embezzling the company funds, clients' project moneys, and other cash earned by the business for personal use!"

Widening his eyes, Mr. Barlow clutched his chest as his breathing got shallow, and his heartbeat increased.

But Elijah showed no sign of remorse and said, "William is addicted to gambling, and Anthony, well, he's involved in underground dealings! That's where they have been wasting the company money for years."

"Shut up!" William lashed out at his brother, feeling overwhelmed with shame and fear of what his father would do to him now that he knows the truth.

Ignoring his brother words, Elijah coldly gazed at his father and said, "Congratulations! Your sons are disgraceful!"

"Father, I can explain!" Anthony said, staring at Mr. Barlow's blank expression.

But when his father didn't showed any interest in what he said, he gazed at Madam Rosey, but she slightly shook her head with hurt in her expression.

With his eyes watery, Mr. Barlow dropped back and sluggishly landed in his seat. Then a single teardrop rolled from the corner of his eye.

"Honey," Madam Rosey cried as she rushed to his side.

"Take me home." Mr. Barlow mumbled, squeezing his eyelids shut for a moment.

A few minutes later, the commotion in the hall grew louder as the company securities tried to fight back reporters while they shoved their cameras and mics at Mr. Barlow as Madam Rosey and Edward tried to get him out of the conference hall.

Not thinking straight, Catherine left her chair and followed them, leaving Rome seated on stage.

But he didn't go after her. Instead, Rome remained seated as he texted Mr. Orlando, "I need you to silent all media platforms about today's news concerning the DreamTeam INC and the Barlow family."

"What? But why? I thought this was what you wanted?" Mr. Orlando messaged back.

"This news will damage DreamTeam INC, and my wife can't inherit a broken company."

"True. I will get on it right away."

With a look of concern in her eyes, Catherine stood by the car door as her grandfather was about to get into the car.

But instead of Mr. Barlow getting into the vehicle, he turned to her and said, "Can you ask Mr. Ford to make this nightmare go away?"

Feeling shocked and nervous, Catherine mumbled, "Grandfather, I don't think…"

"I know you don't think that it's okay to bug Mr. Ford with our family matters. But DreamTeam is about to drown, and this is a desperate time. You heard him that night. I'm sure he will be okay with helping us."

"But…"

"You just need to ask him to help us bury today news."

Still feeling overwhelmed by the sense of discomfort, Catherine moved her lips to speak, but Mr. Barlow grabbed her hands and said, "I'm begging you, Catherine. This is the only way to revive us."

For a moment, she speechlessly stared at her grandfather while wondering how she advance from being looked down on all the time to getting to a place where her grandfather could swallow his ego and beg her.
