He smoked a cigarette, picked up the portfolio, and opened the seal. He saw a picture of his sister Hannah at the age of seven or eight. There was also detailed investigation data and many pictures attached. They were pictures of Hannah from the age of seven or eight, to the photo of the accident. Then, he saw photos of her when she was about 12 or 13 years old with a face full of fear and trepidation. At 15 or 16 years old, the young girl was shyly making a victory pose at the camera. At last, he saw the photo of the beautiful girl when she was 20. Philip’s hands trembled more as his eyes became moist. After so many years, the guilt in Philip's heart was infinitely magnified at this moment. “She… is really alive?” Philip looked at the photo of 20-year-old Hannah in his hand, his eyes already very moist. Rick hummed and said, “Alive.” After getting a positive answer, Philip could not speak for a while. He was very calm. No agitation could be seen at all. However, at
The next day, the two booked air tickets and flew directly from Riverdale to Uppercreek. After landing, Philip arranged for Wynn to go to the hotel first. After all, she was pregnant and not suitable for long-distance travel. In the afternoon, Philip left the hotel and went to Merry Orphanage as specified on the address alone. At the entrance of the orphanage, Philip raised his eyebrows and took a few glances before walking to the guardhouse. “Mister, is this Merry Orphanage?” Philip handed a cigarette to the old security guard. The old security guard first glanced at Philip, and not a minute later, he grabbed a baton from the guardhouse before rushing out and shouting, “Go away! Villains like you come here every day. With me around, don’t even think about tearing this orphanage down!” Philip was taken aback and hurriedly explained, “Mister, you’ve misunderstood. I’m not from the demolition team. I’m here to look for someone.” The baton in the guard’s arm fell. He looke
With a sense of anxiety, Philip gently pushed open the door. A scene entered his eyes. A beautiful silhouette with an exquisite back and a graceful figure had her arms raised. She was pulling up the big waves of her hair while putting on a white shirt and a fiery red professional skirt. Such an enchanting figure! As if realizing that the door had been pushed open, the woman hurriedly clasped the buttons on her chest and turned her head to glance in the direction of the door. She asked angrily, “Who’s there?” Philip was stunned! “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to!” Philip apologized in a hurry, shut the door, and stood there while gasping for breath. He could not react for a long time. Awkward! A few minutes later. The door was pushed open again from the inside and Philip turned around, wanting to apologize. Smack! Suddenly, he was slapped in the face. It was followed by a fragrant breeze! “Who allowed you to barge in? Who are you?” The woman looked very dissatisfi
However, immediately afterward, there was the cry of a child, the violent shouts of men, and the sounds of things being smashed in the orphanage. “Tell that Clarke chick to get out here! If she doesn’t sign the agreement today, we’ll smash this horrible place!” “Hurry up! Beauty Thomson, call your President Clarke to get here at once! Otherwise, these children will suffer!” Ivy looked at the swaggering hooligans in front of her. She was holding two children in her arms while hiding behind her was a group of parentless orphans. She shouted angrily, “You b*stards! Our President Clarke has already said she won’t sign it!” “Won’t sign?” The man in the lead was angry. With dragons and tigers tattooed on his neck and arms, he was a burly man. His name was Geoff. He was quite well-known in this area. He was a man who could do anything, and he had done some time on several occasions. Bang! He kicked over some playground facilities before raising the baseball bat in his hand a
In an instant, the scene fell silent. Geoff frowned as he looked at Philip coldly and laughed. “Damn! What nonsense are you talking about?” He laughed! Was this kid not right in the head? He could even spout such brazen remarks. Did he just tell Geoff to apologize? The goons around also laughed uproariously. “Moron! Why don’t you find out who Geoff is first? How dare you make him apologize?! Are you stupid?” “Hahaha, he’s probably an idiot who wants to be the hero.” “Geoff, this kid doesn’t respect you. Break his legs.” The bunch of swaggering goons was looking at Philip sarcastically at this moment, not paying any heed to him at all. After all, they were in Geoff’s territory. Philip frowned slightly as he looked at this group of people, contemplating something in his mind. “Brother, where are you from, acting so arrogantly here? Give us a name so we know who we’re dealing with.” Geoff rubbed his wrist that was released by Philip and asked with disdain and a
Since he had Mila, he could never watch such a thing happening. Especially since his sister, according to the records, once lived in this orphanage for some time. Although Philip did not know the specific reason, since his sister was still taking care of the orphanage here, Philip would guard it for her to the end! Whoever dared to make these children homeless, Philip would make them disappear from the world! Geoff looked at Philip. From his angry eyes, Geoff could discern the freezing and biting chill! This guy was obviously very ordinary, but why was there such a look in his eyes?! Moreover, he could actually take down seven or eight of them at once! “Ivy Thomson, think about it carefully, you’re going up against Heath! If he finds out, it’s over for you! And this bunch of kids will be doomed!” Knowing that Philip could not be intimidated, Geoff turned his head. Enduring the severe pain, he shouted threateningly at Ivy over there. Ivy was still in shock, but she rea
This was Heath, the leader of the entire Southcross District in Uppercreek. He was a man with money and manpower. He had more than 40 men under him and managed more than 20 venues, large and small. Anyone on the streets would have to greet him courteously when they saw him! This was his prestige. “Heath, you’re finally here. This kid hurt several of my men and wants to stand up for Merry Orphanage!” Geoff and his men had already scrambled up from the ground at this moment. They were standing beside Heath in a hurry and panic. Philip put his hands in his trouser pockets and looked at the group of people indifferently. The newcomers looked aggressive and hostile. Heath puffed on his cigar with a smile of admiration at the corners of his mouth, saying, “Young man, you’re very courageous. Why don’t you join me? Beauties, manpower, and money, you can have anything you want.” At this moment, Heath had actually set his eyes on the talent and said with a faint smile. Hearin
This scene completely shocked everyone. Including Heath! He paused and turned to look sideways. All the people he brought had fallen to the ground! Looking at the kid again, he was kicking the scarred man's chest with a sharp kick, then retracted his foot before turning to look at him indifferently. “You!!” Heath panicked, and his hand holding the cigar could not help shaking a little. However, right after, Heath reacted and pointed at Philip while shouting, “You piece of sh*t, do you know what you’ve done? You’re dead meat! How dare you touch my men?! I’m going to kill you right here and no one can stop me!” After speaking, he hurriedly took out his cell phone and wanted to call someone. However, Philip moved and stood right in front of Heath. Snap! The wave of wind brought by his hand made Heath take a few steps back. The phone in his hand also fell to the ground and was crushed under Philip's foot! Overbearing! Heath was flustered! He was completely pan
