My Boss Cut My Pay, So I Bought His Company Chapter 9
I hung up and blocked Harvey's number.After Harvey, Desmond called me several times too.Each call sounded more desperate and more humble than the last.I didn't answer any of them. Eventually, I blocked his number as well.Later, Zane told me Desmond's company was finished.Desmond counted on the sale to give him enough money to recover, but the acquisition fell through.The hidden-camera scandal destroyed his reputation, and all his longtime clients left.Before long, former employees and clients came forward with complaints.They said he overcharged, provided poor service, withheld employees' pay, and failed to pay business partners on time.As the complaints piled up, the company shut its doors within three months.Buried in debt, Desmond gathered what little he had left and fled to another city overnight. No one knew where he went.A year after my studio opened, I was out of town photographing a series about rural life when I received unexpected news.One of my photo series was s

"You promised me a share of the profits once the company grew. You said you thought of me as a brother. Then you tried to push me out.”"Now that it's happening to you, why are you so upset?"Desmond trembled with anger, but there was nothing he could do.He knew every word I said was true.The whole affair also made him a laughingstock in the industry.Furious and helpless, Desmond hung up.The moment the call ended, a message from Zane appeared."Mr. Archer, Miss Lawson contacted me. She'd like to apologize to you in person. She says she misunderstood what happened."Two days later, I met her at a quiet café downtown.Lily was already there, seated by the window.She had barely touched her coffee. Her fingers gripped the handle of the cup, and she looked nervous and apologetic.She quickly rose when I sat down."Mr. Archer, I'm truly sorry. My fans went after you because they misunderstood, and they caused you so much trouble."I waved a hand to show her she didn't need to worry."It

I raised an eyebrow and gave him a faint smile."Oh? How exactly will you handle it?“"Your statement said you already called the police. Why haven't any officers come to ask me what happened?"Desmond's eyes shifted. Then he slapped his thigh."Oh! I haven't had the chance yet, that's all. I'll call them now! Right now!"He pulled out his phone. Harvey saw what he was doing, panicked, and lunged for it."Desmond, you snake! You told me to do it, and now you want me sent to prison? I'll take you down with me!"They grappled immediately. Desmond was older and no match for Harvey's strength, so Harvey soon pinned him to the floor.Several punches landed on his face, and blood poured from his nose.But Desmond fought back, gripping Harvey's hair with both hands and cursing nonstop.I watched with interest."Harvey, how can you hit your boss? What happened to all those workplace manners?"They were too caught up in the fight to hear my sarcasm.I kindly called the police and reported a bra

"I was blind, Mr. Archer! I didn't know who I was dealing with! Please, don't hold a grudge against a nobody like me!"The flattery poured out so freely that I frowned.I cut his performance short."Don't call me your friend. What did you call me yesterday? A working machine? A nobody?"Desmond's smile stiffened. Then he pointed at Harvey, who was still in a daze."Yes, it was him! That new bastard kept whispering lies about you and turning me against you!""He fooled me. I lost my head and did something awful! Joe, please believe me. We've been friends for three years!"Harvey finally began to grasp what was happening as Desmond cursed him to his face.He held his swollen cheek and stared in disbelief.Desmond no longer spared him a thought. All he cared about was winning my favor.He hurriedly brought up the acquisition."Joe, this was all a terrible misunderstanding between friends! Let's sign the purchase agreement!""The company will be yours. I'll stay and work myself to the bone

Desmond's eyes widened, and his mouth opened and closed without a sound."Joe Archer, what kind of joke is this?"I said nothing. One of the burly security guards behind me shoved Desmond, his face stern."That's no way to speak to Mr. Archer. Show some respect."All the color drained from Desmond's face.Behind him, Harvey looked stunned too.But a moment later, Harvey's eyes darted around, and he gave a sudden laugh."Who do you think you're fooling? Joe Archer, if you're going to put on an act, at least make it convincing!""You hired a big guy, put him in a black suit, and now we're supposed to believe he's your bodyguard? Do you think Mr. Quinn and I are idiots?""If you're really that rich heir, why would you work at a tiny company like ours? Why would you happily show up every day for three hundred and sixty dollars a month?"The more he spoke, the more convinced he became, and his voice rose."I've seen real rich people online! They live in mansions, drive sports cars, and spen

"But don't worry. I'll stay with the company. A spoiled rich kid like that won't know how to run a business, so I'll still be the one calling the shots. And you... I'll make sure to keep looking after you."So that was his plan.He wanted to dump the mess on me, pocket the money, and walk away without a scratch.Dream on. He hadn't signed anything yet. Even if he did, I'd find a hundred ways to make him give the money back."Mr. Quinn, I haven't done anything to wrong you in these three years, have I? I helped grow your little company. Why do you hate me so much?"His smile faded."Joe Archer, I can't stand that superior attitude of yours.""You think you're the reason this company succeeds? To me, you're just a working machine.""This company might be small, but I'm still your boss. Getting you to work overtime is like pulling teeth, and you don't even answer your phone after hours. Have you ever shown me any respect?"I was almost speechless.I finished all my work during business
