A Billionaire In Disguise

Chapter 106

The office door opened, and all of Elijah’s clients walked into the room. Then they took a seat on the

leather couches and focused on Mr. Barlow.

“Excuse me,” Ella said before walking out of the room and shutting the door closed.

For a few seconds, it was silent. Then Mr. Barlow cleared his throat and gently asked, “Why are you all

here?”

“It's no secret that DBA INC. is failing immensely.” Mr. Davis carefully said, striving to remember

Rome's every word correctly.

“So I heard.”

“That is why we are here to tell you that we want to keep our projects with DreamTeam, and since

Elijah is not a part of this company, we will like to sign under William.”

Although Mr. Barlow kept a straight face, he was extremely excited inside, knowing that this was

something that could help DreamTeam.

Without any second thought, he looked at Davis and said, “If that's the case, then I will call William up

here so we can get the paperwork started.”

“Wonderful!” Mr. Davis said, feeling relief that things went easier than he expected.

The silence in William’s office was suddenly disrupted by his ringtone. So he dropped his pen and

picked up his phone.

When he answered the call, Mr. Barlow's voice echoed into his ear, “Come to my office now.”

“What is it!” William asked, still feeling enraged about the morning event.

“Just get here!”

“I'm on my way.”

After ending the call, William stood from his seat and grabbed his coat off the rack before walking out of

his office.

A few minutes later, he arrived in Mr. Barlow’s office, and the moment he recognized those that were in

the room, he froze.

“I'm here,” William said with his focus on his father.

“Elijah’s clients are willing to sign with you.” Mr. Barlow said.

“What!”

“Is there a problem?”

The first thought that crossed his mind was to refuse. But then that would make his father suspicious of

him, and since Charles had already angered Mr. Barlow, William knew not to add to that anger.

Against his better judgment, he gave a half-smile and said, “Of course not. When do were start the

paperwork?”

“Now,” Mr. Barlow replied.

By three o'clock, all the documents were complete, and William's signature was on all of them.

After the clients had left, it was just Mr. Barlow and William in the room.

Feeling uncomfortable by the silence, he stood to his feet to leave, but Mr. Barlow looked at him and

said, “According to my promise you would ascend to your brother's position, and we are going to

announce that at the press conference.”

“What!” William intoned, staring at his father in disbelief.

“Since we can't clear Charles’ name, you taking Elijah's role on the board of directors is the perfect

news that could shadow your son's rumor!” NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

“But, father…”

Although he so desperately wanted to protest against the idea, William knew going against his father at

such a critical time was more dangerous than offending his brother, so he took a deep breath and said,

“Sure.”

When Rome’s phone rang, he felt glad that Catherine wasn't in the office seeing that it was Davis'

number blinking on his screen.

After answering the call, he heard Davis say, “It's done. All our projects have gotten signed under

William.”

“Good. I just need one last thing from you.” Rome said with his focus on the office door.

There was a long pause. Then Mr. Davis sighed and asked, “What is it?”

“Call Elijah and tell him exactly what you just told me.”

“That William got our projects?”

“Yes.”

It got awfully silence on the other end of the call, and Rome patiently waited without care.

“You are trying to put both brothers against each other,” Mr. Davis' voice flowed out of the speakers.

“They were against each other from the very start!” Rome coldly said. “Now, would you make the call or

will your wife be receiving the pictures?”

Silence followed his question. Then Mr. Davis said from the other side of the line, “I will make the call.”

“Good. I'm glad we are on the same page.” Rome said before ending the call.

At that moment, Catherine walked into the office, and when she and Rome’s eyes met, he softly smiled

and asked, “What did your grandfather call you about?”

“He said that William got all of Elijah’s clients.”

“Seriously?”

“Yeah. And to uphold his promise, he will be ascending William to the position and will be announcing it

today at the press conference, so we all should be in the conference hall before five o'clock.”

“Are we going?”

“Yeah, we are.”

By four-thirty in the afternoon, Catherine and Rome arrived in the conference hall, and so did the rest of

the Barlows, except for Chloe, Jeff, Charles, Elijah, and Dana.

Although it wasn't five o'clock yet, reporters and various representatives from several news platforms

had started arriving in the hall.

By five-fifteen, most of the chairs were occupied, and the Barlow family was seated on stage.

The press conference was about to start when suddenly the huge wooden door opened, and Elijah

walked into the hall.

His sudden appearance drew everyone’s attention to him. But the only person Elijah was focused on

was William, and with a look of pure hate in his eyes, he marched over to his brother.

At this point, all the reporters had their cameras directly at him as they eagerly waited to see what he

was about to do.

It was no news that Elijah was a part of DBA since he had made it known to the public when he left

DreamTeam, and it wasn't a secret that DBA INC. was failing.

Now everyone was interested in his sudden attendance at the conference, except for Rome since this

was actually what he calculated would happen if Elijah got the news about William.

The hall was quite silent as Elijah marched on stage. Then he walked directly to William.

Seeing the rage in his brother’s eyes, William stood to his feet and hastily said, “I know what you are

thinking, but it's not what it is. I swear, even though it does look like it, it's not!”

But like a deaf and angry bull, Elijah threw his left fist out in a curved punch, hitting William in his

temple.

Within a matter of seconds, flashes of camera lights beamed in the hall and a loud commotion arose.

“Elijah!” Madam Rosey shouted, hastily standing to her feet as she watched him swing another punch

at William.

“You disgraceful child!” Mr. Barlow lashed out.

Hearing his father's words, Elijah stopped his fist at the tip of William’s nose. Then he gazed at his

father and asked, “I’m disgraceful?”

Then he stared at Anthony before glaring at William and shouting, “Are we all not scandalous and

dishonorable?”
