Philip frowned deeply, frost in his eyes.Aiden patted Philip’s shoulder proudly and said, “I bet you’ll never guess this. It’s already this late in the night, and yet Wynn suddenly invited me to meet here!”Hahaha!That felt amazing!Aiden was ecstatic to see just how ugly Philip’s complexion would turn!Any man would fly off the handle to hear that his wife was meeting another man this late at night.However, Philip just smiled calmly and said, “Oh, and your point is?”He was cool and collected, as though it did not concern him at all.Aiden felt like he was getting an aneurysm.How could Philip stand something like that?“What the f*ck, Clarke! Your wife is secretly meeting me, so why aren’t you mad at all? Don’t you think we might do something a little more after dinner? Aren’t you worried?”Aiden’s words were like arrows shot to the heart.Any normal man would be raring for a fight after that.However, Philip was different.He trusted Wynn, wholly and unconditionall
A slender figure immediately walked up to them. Slap!There was the crisp sound of an unhesitating slap, hitting Philip right across the face. The pain was instant and unbearable. Wynn's face was flushed red with fury. She glared at Philip, yelling, "What on earth were you trying to do, Philip Clarke?!"The first thing she saw as soon as she walked through the door was Philip about to punch Aiden.Of course Wynn was furious!She had invited Aiden out here today so she could borrow one million from him for Mila's surgery fee. If they made an enemy out of Aiden now, where else was she going to find the money?Her parents had left them completely out to dry. They told her in no uncertain terms that they would not give her a single cent unless she divorced Philip.That was why Wynn had no other choice. The only people she could think of were Juan and Aiden.She glared at Philip and then turned around. When she saw that Aiden's nose was bleeding, her anger only intensified. S
Wynn was shocked somewhat out of her wits.Why would they call Philip… Mr. Clarke?Wait!This man… This man was the owner of Virtuous Court, Javier Morris!He had personally attended Wynn’s father’s birthday party last time, bringing with him good wine and even a platinum membership card!Besides, Wynn clearly remembered that he had mentioned Mr. Clarke last time too.Back then, everyone was looking down on Philip, so naturally they would never associate that name with him. Only Wynn paid a little extra attention to that, though soon she too forgot about that as well.Now, though… Right here and now...Javier had approached them once again. This time, he was respectfully calling her husband Mr. Clarke!No matter how ignorant Wynn might be, by now she would have started to piece some things together.So that night, Javier had given her father that gift in Philip’s stead, huh?It went without saying that Philip noticed the gears turning in Wynn’s head.Crap. She must be onto
He hung up.Aiden’s entire face was red from the laughter he was holding back. Soon, though, he burst out laughing with Dan and the others, pointing at Philip and taunting him, “Well, f*ck me sideways! Philip, are you a f*cking idiot? You want to destroy my dad’s company and mine in ten minutes? You?”Aiden was so angry that all he could do was laugh. Had Philip gone absolutely insane?However, Philip merely smiled calmly and said, “You’ll know soon enough.”At the same time, George was already getting to work on his end.It was ridiculously easy for him to take down Splendor Education Group and Stardream Media.He just had to dig up some dirt on them, right? Easy peasy.Soon enough, thanks to George’s machinations, he received files full of Splendor Education Group and Stardream Media’s dirtiest secrets.George just gave the information a glance before handing them to his subordinates for follow-up.After that, he picked up his phone and called his young master. “It’s all
Wynn’s eyes widened. They had been married for so long, but even now she did not know about Philip’s past. His parents did not even congratulate them in person at their wedding.Wynn had asked him many times before this, but he had glossed over the question every time.After a long time, Wynn began to assume that Philip was an orphan who did not want to relive his painful past, so she stopped asking.However, the way Philip held himself today, his methods or rather his attitude, all of it was vastly different from the mild-mannered wimp he had always been before.He had changed. All of a sudden, she could not quite recognize him anymore.Even so, Wynn could tell that his love for her was sincere.“Are you finally willing to tell me?” Wynn asked uncertainly.Philip nodded and looked up at the deep sky. Keeping a completely straight face, he said, “Actually, Wynn, my family is quite wealthy. I never told you because I had a huge fight with my parents and ran away from home.”“You
All the wrongs and pressure she had suffered these past few days made her collapse in an instant.It was all so much for her that she hammered his chest with her little fists, berating him softly, “It’s all your fault. Why didn’t you tell me earlier? I went begging and pleading everywhere. Don’t you know I never begged anyone for anything before? Sob…”Wynn cried her heart out. Philip hugged her even more tightly. “Sorry, Wynn, it was my fault. I promised you that I would give you and Mila a bright future. Please believe me.”More than five minutes passed like that before Wynn’s emotions finally settled down.After that, she asked Philip worriedly, her eyes red, “Since you got into such a huge fight with your parents, do you still have enough money to pay for Mila’s surgery?”Philip was a little awkward and sheepish as he said, “Actually, I have a card. It probably has a couple million in there. I never took it out before because I didn’t want to scare you. You don’t have to worry
Martha was beyond furious!‘This good-for-nothing thinks that he can afford it? Does he think that he has the money? At this point in time, this useless piece of trash is still holding on to his ego shamelessly.’ Martha glared at Philip impatiently and said with a mocking sneer, "Philip, what did you just say? You don't want our family's 500,000 dollars and can afford it yourself? Okay, okay, so you're a big shot now? You think you’re too good for the Johnston family. Great, then you can divorce Wynn as soon as possible. My daughter is so beautiful, so she can easily marry into a wealthy family in the future!"Philip had a sullen expression. He said helplessly, "Mom, I actually have...""What do you have? You want to say that you are loaded?" Martha sneered disdainfully, then pointed at him before saying to Mila arrogantly, "If it weren't for you two, Wynn wouldn’t have to suffer so much. I wouldn’t be in a situation where I can't hold my head up high in front of my side of the fa
Smack!It was a crisp-sounding slap!Martha cursed at her, "Get out of this house! Don’t ever come back! You are no longer a child of mine!"It was heart-rending for Philip when he saw Wynn get slapped. He stared at Martha with an angry gaze, champing to tear her apart!Even if she was his mother-in-law, she had bullied Wynn, so Philip needed to step in to teach her a lesson!Philip put down Mila and walked over angrily with a daunting expression.Martha was also frightened and cried out, "You… What do you want to do?""You shouldn't hit Wynn," Philip said coldly. He had his fists squeezed tightly and he was trembling slightly.Wynn, with dazzling red imprints on her face, immediately stopped Philip. "Philip, calm down. Let's head home."She was really afraid that Philip would do something impulsive.If that happened, there would be no way out of it."Okay." Philip's expression gradually softened.Martha was very nervous at first. When she saw Wynn stepping in to stop Phili
Sure enough, the pill was nothing special. Apart from appearing quite tasty, the pill had no other effect. It was considered a useless item. “Humans are quite good at making pills. It’d be great if I had that ability too,” Akash said eagerly. He had studied this topic with others before, but they concluded that no other race had the talent to make pills apart from humans. Philip continued chatting with Akash, all the time wondering who he was. He could easily tell whether the other person's face was real or fake. This person did not disguise himself. His face was real. “Philip, I sense something wrong,” Lyle muttered under his breath. He sensed a strange vibe. A strong fishy smell was coming from a distance. Philip immediately recognized the source of the fishy smell. Who else could it be but the ugly elves? Abele was heading to the city with her troops. They knew that attacking these people was a matter of life and death. “We need to watch out. Don’t give them a chance
At this time, Akash ran over as if he were shocked to hear that sound. “Did you hear a deafening sound just now? I felt uncomfortable all over after that as if something was staring at me!” Akash said in a panic. He was now very jittery and afraid of everything. “Don’t worry, it’s probably an explosion somewhere,” Philip said. Akash was startled as if he could not understand Philip’s meaning. “Explosion? Is it a demon? That’d be very bad!” Akash looked around anxiously, feeling nothing else but panic. “Anyway, this is strange. No one knows what’s happening, so let’s just take it one step at a time. If a demon appears, we have no choice but to face it.” Philip waved his hand, not interested in this topic. They would have to face it, come hell or high water. Akash nodded and sat drinking his cup of tea with a bad premonition lingering in his heart. “Let’s hope you’re right.” Philip sat down and felt that something was wrong with Akash’s reaction. He probably knew something
The captured elves would suffer various hardships and become the humans' pitiful plaything. To prevent it from happening again, Akash forbade his people from stepping into the outside world. Therefore, it was ironic for him to summon his people here. “Find a room and have a good rest while you wait for your people to arrive.” Philip pointed to one of the empty rooms. Akash was exhausted after a long journey. Even though he had drunk a pot of tea, his mental state was not very good. He would collapse very soon without a good rest. Akash nodded. He did not refuse Philip's kindness because he knew he could not hold on much longer. He felt very unhappy at the thought of the upcoming battle.… At this time, the place responsible for imprisoning humans was getting restless as if the barriers were weakening. “Comrades, keep it up. I can feel the barriers weakening. We can leave soon!” A man shouted, and his words motivated everyone. Everyone was excited and worked harder to bre
“That’s great. I knew that our sacred tree would never lie to me. Only you’d dare to help me in this situation.” Akash was moved to tears by Philip’s words. He never dreamed that Philip was willing to help him. “I’ll try to contact the other elf warriors and see if I can summon them. Our combat effectiveness will improve significantly with their help.” Akash went to a corner to contact the elf warriors using a special method. They would sense it if they were still alive. However, he forgot an important thing. Abele was once a member of the family and knew about it too. She could feel the call the same as other warriors. As Akash summoned the warriors, Abele smiled wickedly. She did not expect Akash to summon his people so soon. “This took no effort at all. I was thinking if I should use my bloodline to search for his trace, but he turned up right at my doorstep. How convenient.” Abele found Akash’s location but was puzzled by his choice. “Is he crazy? Why is he in the h
“I have a natural aversion toward demons, so I felt very uncomfortable when I saw Abele, but everyone was in a hurry to leave at that time, so I didn't say anything. Abele probably colluded with the demons to get rid of Akash and his people, so Akash wants to seek help from us.” Everyone nodded at Katie’s analysis and thought she had a point. “Anyway, we’ll find out after a short wait. I’m sure he’ll get here very soon. We can figure out the details if he needs our help.” Philip distributed the precious elf water while calmly waiting for Akash’s arrival. He knew that he owed the elves a favor. Philip was not guilty about taking Akash’s elf water, but he felt embarrassed about Rabbit tricking the elf tree away from the elves. With the elf tree, Philip was not short of elf water. With the help of his pills, the elf tree would recover soon, so the yield would be much higher. Philip felt conflicted at the thought of Akash’s earnest behavior and decided to help if he could after
As long as Abele had full control over the elf tree, others would have no choice but to believe her identity no matter how ugly or deformed she looked. Now that the elf tree was missing, however, they could not find the elves’ treasure even if they turned the place upside down. “It seems that we can’t spare those people no matter what. You have to do me a favor. We have to find Akash and get the elf tree or all our efforts will be in vain.” Abele gritted her teeth and finally decided to kill Akash.… Meanwhile, Akash had escaped and knew that a great calamity had befallen his family. It was a total disaster. “Luckily, I have the pills from Philip, or I wouldn’t have been able to escape that woman’s clutches.” Akash felt a lingering fear. Although a pill had been taken from him, he felt better now. At least he still had many pills from Philip. “I have no choice but to find Philip next. If he’s unwilling to help me, I’ll have to beg someone else.” Thinking of this, Akash
Akash had been injured by the black energy emitted by Abele. He would be in trouble if he did not heal himself. Seeing this scene, Abele rushed over and snatched the pill from Akash’s hand. Abele had been waiting to get hold of one. “Give it to me.” Abele moved very fast after being possessed by the demon. Akash did not have time to take the pill before Abele snatched it from him. Seeing this scene, Akash looked around for his warriors, but everyone had left. Akash felt relieved. As long as his warriors had fled to safety, he had nothing to worry about. Seeing that Abele was admiring the pill, Akash quickly ran away. It was the best opportunity for him to run. He would have a future as long as he ran. He had to survive before he could make a comeback. Where there was a will, there was a way. Akash was quite good at running and soon vanished from everyone’s sight. Abele scoffed at Akash’s disappearance. Although she did not want to let him go, there was no point in cha
“I think those are pills made by humans. I wonder where he found such powerful pills. Get them for me. I’m very interested in studying them.” At this moment, a voice rang in Abele’s ear, most likely the person behind the scenes. Abele rolled her eyes. Who would not be interested in such a good thing? Everyone wanted to get one but it depended on individual ability. “According to my understanding over the years, even the best potions can't produce such a strong healing effect, not even the potions made by Merlin. These pills are a force to be reckoned with, and I want to get them now. Do something about it. Don’t let me down,” the voice forced Abele to solve the problem. “You know who has the pills. He’s very powerful, and I’m no match for him at all unless you help me.” Abele gritted her teeth and finally suggested. She knew that Philip was a human, so it had to be him. However, Philip had left, and no one knew where he went. In that case, she could only start with Akash.
They had suffered badly enough over the years, so Abele just wanted to resist. Akash had to die at all costs. Akash watched in sorrow as his warriors fought to their deaths. He wondered where Abele found her reinforcements, but that was not important now. His people were about to surrender, so that question was meaningless now. “Run!” A warrior saw Akash standing in a daze and was filled with panic. He rushed through the attacks and urged Akash to flee. “As long as you’re still alive, the elves will have a chance to make a comeback. No matter what, we can't let the enemies have their way. You have to make a comeback and show them how powerful we are!” The warrior was stabbed several times, but his face was full of determination as if he would never give in to these people. Tears welled up in Akash's eyes. He never thought that his people would say such sorrowful words one day. “I’ll die if you don’t leave now.” The warrior had no choice but to use his death to threaten
