A Billionaire In Disguise novel Chapter 144

After Rome's call with Scar ended, he tossed his phone on the seat, rested back, and covered his face with his palm, sighing out his frustration.

"Jame Earl is going after Miss?" K asked, tightening his fist as rage awoke in him.

"It looks like it. Although Earl has power and wealth to go against me, he knows the amount of damage it will cause him and the risk involved, so he's not attacking from the head but the heart." Rome mumbled in anger.

"Should we tell the big boss then?"

"No!"

Withdrawing his hand from his face, Rome coldly stared at K and said, "Keep my father out of this, or else blood will spill. Got it!?"

"Yes, boss." K hastily uttered.

"My father should be my last result."

"What now?"

There was a brief pause. Then Rome looked into the v mirror and said, "Orlando, drive. I think it's time to have a second talk with Earl."

Not wasting a second, Mr. Orlando put the car in gear and drove off.

A while later, they arrived at Technology And Co., and Rome headed into the building with K beside him.

The office was silent as Mr. Earl stood with his back facing the door as he stared at the transparent glass, slowly twirling his thick gold ring.

Suddenly, the door opened, and Rome walked in with K while Earl's secretary shouted as she rushed after them, "Sirs, you can't just walk in there."

"Don't you think it's risky to enter someone's territory without being invited?" Mr. Earl said, turning away from the glass.

Then he scowled when he locked eyes with Rome, despising the mere sight of him.

"You should have said those words to yourself before you decided that it was a smart choice to visit my wife." Rome coldly uttered.

Noticing that the look in Rome's eyes was the same look Rome gave him before beating the crap out of him, Mr. Earl hesitated for a moment.

Then he gazed at his secretary and rudely commanded, "Get out!"

After she left the office and shut the door, Mr. Earl took a seat behind his desk and said, "I guess you are here to tell me to stay away from your wife?"

"Actually, no." Rome casually uttered. "I don't have to tell you that. You already know that, and if I had to remind you, I wouldn't be this calm."

In confusion, both K and Mr. Earl raised a brow as they stared at Rome, wondering what else he was there for other than Catherine.

Keeping silent, Rome walked over to the chair, took a seat, and rested back, crossing his leg over the other.

Then he fixed his cold gaze on Mr. Earl and said, "I didn't know you and Chloe Barlow were that close."

A hint of nervousness spiked on Mr. Earl's face for a moment as he asked, "What are you getting at?"

When Rome noticed that Mr. Earl was getting a bit anxious about his remark, he faintly smirked, knowing that his guess was right about the being something more to Chloe and James attending the party together.

"It's funny how there was no connection between you and Chloe until you suddenly showed up at the party with her as your date," Rome said, keeping his gaze fixed on Earl's darting eyes.

"Bang!" A loud noise echoed from the desk when Mr. Earl slapped his palm on it and shouted, "Are you investigating me?!"

"What if I am? Do you have some dirty secret that you don't want me to find out?" Rome calmly asked, slightly raising a brow.

It fell silent as Mr. Earl coldly stared at him. Then he sneered and mumbled, "You got nothing on me because I have nothing to hide."

"Is that so? Okay, I accept the challenge." Rome casually said with a mocking smile on his lip.
