Here, Philip followed Anson Goode to his sister’s villa. Unfortunately, Janice was not around. Philip had made the trip for nothing. In desperation, Philip, who had waited for half an hour, finally chose to leave. He would return tomorrow. As for Anson, he accompanied Philip the entire time. Seeing that Philip was about to leave, he hurriedly stepped forward to stop him and respectfully said, “Excuse me, Mr. Clarke, it just happens that there’s a private banquet for all the owners in this community. Those attending are famous people in Uppercreek. Since you’re the most distinguished owner in this community, I wonder if you’d be interested to show up at the banquet hall later?” Philip thought for a while and found it difficult to decline Anson’s hospitality, so he nodded and said, “Let’s go.” Anson was overjoyed. He was able to invite the super owner of the Bird of Paradise Villa to tonight’s banquet. His future career progression was bound to be unstoppable! The Bird of
He was almost at the limit of endurance. If he was not concerned about causing unnecessary trouble after hitting Yolanda, Philip would have made a move long ago! “What did you say? Philip, don’t tell me you want to remain here obstinately. Let me tell you, we’re not in the same class. Look at your own appearance, then look at us. Someone like you wants to get into the upper-class circle?” Yolanda continued to chastise, “Look at the people present. All of them come from wealthy families or have successful careers. A pauper like you, with the cheap clothes on your back, is nothing but an oddball! Now that your family is bankrupt, you have to accept the reality! Just be a useless piece of trash quietly! I advise you to leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the manager here asks about it, you’ll definitely not be able to escape!” At this moment, a waitress trotted in. Seeing this scene, she walked up to Philip in fear. When she saw the wine tray on the floor, she hurriedly ben
“I’m the young master of the Dean family in Uppercreek. My dad is the coach of Uppercreek’s security forces, and my grandfather is also the retired coach!” After he finished speaking, he looked at Philip amusedly. “Now, do you still want to go against me?” “The Dean family? Are they very powerful?” Philip retorted unwaveringly. “Haha.” Gill smiled cruelly before stepping forward and glaring at Philip fiercely. “Since I grew up, you’re the first person who dares to provoke the Dean family like this. “I’ll let you know how big the gap between us is, just like the geese in the sky and the ants on the ground!” Philip smiled faintly. When he was about to speak, a middle-aged man with a dignified face pushed the crowd away and walked over. “What’s going on? Who dares to make trouble at the banquet for the owners of Blossoms Park? Don’t you know the banquet tonight is hosted by Sam Cohen of the Soaring Real Estate Group?” “Oh, Supervisor Sandler is here. This wretched man fr
“Manager Goode?” Supervisor Sandler was taken aback before he yelled mockingly, “Presumptuous! What right do you have to mention Manager Goode? Do you think we’re at a small gathering where you can talk about him so casually?” The audience’s blood boiled at his words. “Supervisor Sandler, hurry up and get rid of this rubbish!” “This idiot is really good at bragging.” “A poor place like Riverdale is really good at producing rubbish. It’s really shocking.” At this time, everyone’s gaze at Philip was full of disdain and contempt. Philip frowned slightly at these countless accusations. Supervisor Sandler did not want to delay this matter any further, so he turned his head and shouted, “Where’s the security guard? Hurry up and throw this filthy guy out for me.” “Sneaking into the private banquet for the owners of Blossoms Park is not an easy act to forgive. Call the cops too. I want to see what the police have to say about someone sneaking into private territory.” Everyo
This jerk turned out to be Anson’s distinguished guest? How could that be? It must be known that everyone present tonight had to be polite in front of Manager Goode. With Anson’s distinguished identity, how did he get to know a bum in shabby clothes like Philip? He tried to defend himself. “I didn't know that this gentleman was invited by you. If I knew, how would I possibly dare to do this?” Anson remained unmoved. Instead, he smiled apologetically to Philip and said, “Sorry, I’m late. “I didn't expect my subordinates to be so ignorant and cause such trouble.” With that said, Anson was full of anger. What kind of person was Philip Clarke? Manager Goode’s distinguished guest! He was the person with the highest status tonight! He was the owner of Bird of Paradise Villa! Even Sam Cohen had given specific instructions that he must invite Mr. Clarke upstairs for a private meeting. These people had chastised Philip so much and even tried to kick him out of the banq
He looked at Gil reproachfully. “Is Mr. Clarke someone you can humiliate casually?” “I’ll talk to your father about this matter myself.” After he finished speaking, he ignored Gil's pale face, turned his head to Philip, and whispered in his ear, “Mr. Clarke, Mr. Cohen and a few friends are waiting for you upstairs.” “Sure.” Philip nodded, glanced at Gil Dean lightly, then smiled before turning away. Supervisor Sandler could not take it anymore. He slumped to the ground, his face pale. Gil lowered his head and gritted his teeth with his fists clenched. That final look from Philip seemed to be ridiculing him, turning into a sharp sword and piercing his self-esteem fiercely. “That son of a b*tch!” After the two walked away, Gil finally exploded. He took the wine glass from the nearby table and smashed it on the ground. “How does he know Anson Goode? This is impossible!” The moment Yolanda had seen Anson, her expression could not help but change slightly as she excl
The two took a seat, and Anson accompanied him next to him. After a round of toast, Sam immediately broached the topic and said, “Mr. Clarke, this time, Soaring Real Estate Group has decided to set up a real estate company in Riverdale to expand our business there. When the time comes, we hope you can extend some help, Mr. Clarke.” If they could get some help from Philip, or rather, an investment, then the ten-year plan of Soaring Real Estate Group in Riverdale would face no problems at all! By itself, the Soaring Real Estate Group of Sam Cohen had a certain influence. In Uppercreek, it was one of the three giants in the real estate industry. However, Riverdale was different; its waters ran deep. Moreover, Philip was different, and the background he came from was different. Through Hoyt Luther, Sam already knew and understood this point deeply. He and Hoyt had been friends in private for many years, and naturally, they knew the true identity of Philip Clarke! When he wa
Philip’s eyes were cold as he shook his hand directly, brushing away Yolanda's arm. Smack! Philip responded in kind, slapping Yolanda’s face angrily while saying, “Yolanda Lee, that’s enough! You keep challenging my patience time and again! If not for the sake of our acquaintance, I’d have dealt with you a long time ago!” Every person had a limit. Philip Clarke was no exception! He had always kept a low profile and did not wish to cause any trouble most of the time, especially now that he was looking for his sister Hannah Clarke. He did not want news of his actions to be spread or to cause a sensation as it would only lead him to be noticed by people with ulterior motives. That was why he had been deliberately restraining his temper. However, Yolanda’s actions had crossed the limit! Yolanda was stunned, clutching her pretty face while staring at Philip in disbelief. “You... How dare you hit me?!” Yolanda’s eyes widened, and the anger in her heart surged. Why had she
At this time, Cameron and his men returned in the middle of the night. He saw the Claude family members crying as soon as he returned. They were bruised and battered from a beating, looking utterly miserable. Cameron was furious that someone would dare to bully his family members while he was away. “What's going on? Why are you in this state? Did someone cause trouble while I was away?” Cameron was angry and in disbelief, feeling that something was strange. Everyone nodded nervously. “Ronan is here!” The old woman who suffered the worst beating was very upset and glared viciously in Ronan’s direction. “Cameron, although you left me in charge while you were away, I can’t do it anymore. Ronan kept messing with us and even brought some people to beat us up!” The old woman made up stories and described Ronan as an unforgivable evildoer. Cameron scowled, but he could not believe it. “What did you say? Ronan actually hit someone?” He was unwilling to believe it. Although Ronan
Philip took out some fine wine, which was worthless to him but priceless to Ronan. Ronan laughed at Philip’s nonchalance and patted his shoulder. The two of them sat down and started drinking. Rabbit joined in the fun and swallowed the wine in big gulps. Although the alcohol content was a bit high for Rabbit, he enjoyed it happily. They quickly felt slightly tipsy. Although they were practitioners, they did not use any techniques to sober up. It was okay to be a little intoxicated as long as it did not affect them too much. It was rare to find a friend who they could click so well with, so it was a blessing to get drunk together. As they drank happily, the aroma of the wine wafted out. Everyone smelled the fragrance and looked for the source of the scent. They quickly found Ronan's residence and scowled. That smell proved that he had to be drinking good wine in there. “How is he worthy of such fine wine?” “Just a whiff of that wine clears my head, so it has to be good s
Although victory was not confirmed, they had to take part. Since the other party said so, they had no choice but to win. At the thought of the other major families, Cameron scowled as he felt the pressure. “I heard that you have a non-human descendant in your family,” the other party said with a smile, but it was uncertain if his intention was to mock Cameron or to find out some information. The Claude family scowled as they instantly figured out who the other party was talking about—Ronan. This person had disgraced the whole family. “We do have someone like that in our family. Back then, one of our youths was restless and impulsive…” Cameron wanted to explain, but the other party interrupted him. The mysterious man smiled with satisfaction at Cameron’s admittance. “If that’s the case, it’s great. Let this person take part in the competition. I’m interested in his strength and want to try it out in person. “Other than your victory, this person has to take part in the comp
By treating Ronan badly, the people would receive some rewards from the higher-ups. After a while, everyone got used to it. Even the wine sold to Ronan was cheap wine that no one wanted. “There’ll be a place for me in the world somehow!” Philip shook his head. These people’s attitude was strange, indeed, but he did not think that they could not find a roof over their heads. Since the Claude family was so arrogant, they could take over their place. Thinking of this, Philip took them back to the Claude family's manor and knocked on the door with a smile on his face. The guards were horrified to see Philip and Ronan again. They did not forget how badly they were beaten earlier. Thus, no one dared to stop them from marching in for fear that they would be beaten again. They could not afford the consequences. The Claude family quickly learned about their appearance. They scowled, their faces turning ashen. “Why are you here again?” “We already told you that they won't be ba
Even though everyone was angry, they could not help but taunt the culprit. The cowardly man coughed at their sarcastic remarks. “Let’s wait until the family head returns tomorrow. I don’t believe Ronan will be so arrogant when he’s around!” After saying that, he ran to his room and hid, unwilling to say more to the others. Ronan did not know what happened back then. As long as he refused to admit it, he believed that Ronan could not do anything to him. It was a conspiracy against Ronan’s mother back then. If the family head refused to protect him, he would tell Ronan everything to save himself.… After Ronan left the luxurious manor, his mood instantly became better. He never thought that he would do something so spectacular one day. “Thank you.” Ronan lowered his head to Philip humbly. He was grateful to Philip and wanted to pledge brotherhood with Philip. Philip waved his hands awkwardly, surprised by Ronan’s courtesy. He did not do much; he just gave him some confiden
Other members of the family had been so pampered that no one could fight Ronan either. All of them were sent flying, and some of them hung on the tree miserably. Philip laughed at the scene. These people had always treated Ronan as a pushover when, in fact, Ronan was a force to be reckoned with. None of them was a match for him. “I know that other than my uncle, some other people were also involved in harming my mother, but I don’t know who they are. You'd better hand them over or no one will leave this place alive today.” Ronan’s killing intent was very intense. He was clearly very angry. Everyone panicked and looked around carefully, at a loss for what to do. They saw the fear in each other’s eyes. The family head had taken Ronan's uncle and some other people to a city. It was difficult for them to find a decision-maker when the elders were not around. The instigator from back then was not around either. Who else could they look for? “Calm down. This matter has nothin
Ronan’s uncle did not hesitate to force his elder sister to her death just to kick the most promising descendant out of the family. This grudge was unforgivable. Everyone laughed at Ronan’s audacity to seek revenge. Only a fool would dare to do that. “Do you know how powerful your uncle is?” “Although he’s not here now, he’s not someone you can afford to mess with.” Everyone mocked Ronan without taking him seriously at all. “Did you hear what I said?” Ronan scowled. These people kept disregarding his request and paid no attention to him. He felt very upset. “Since you won’t hand him over, I’ll beat you until he appears. If he’s not here, other people can take his place.” He knew that his uncle was quite powerful and would often go to other towns or cities for networking. While it was true that he might not be around, it did not mean that Ronan would not make trouble for the others. Everyone looked at Ronan arrogantly, waiting to see what Ronan would do. Suddenly, Rona
The guards were taken aback by Ronan’s sudden arrogance and looked at him doubtfully. “What’s up with you? Do you want to take action?” “After all these years, have you finally decided to avenge your mother?” They kept taunting Ronan without realizing how angry he was. “I repeat—I want to see the people who forced my mother to her death back then!” Ronan stomped his foot in anger and glared at everyone around him. The guards were startled because they finally felt Ronan’s strength with that stomp. They did not expect him to be that strong. Maybe because of Ronan’s fury, they finally realized his might and quickly scrambled into the manor. Philip saw the name on a plaque—Claude Manor. The place looked pretty imposing, and Philip felt a stab of longing as he looked around. Philip stood without a word. His main objective was to help Ronan. The guards ran away in a panic. They knew that Ronan was going to make things difficult for them. “It’s bad. Ronan is at the door
The man could not resist because he was alone. Next time, he would bring more people to deal with Philip. Philip saw his resentment but took no notice of it. No matter how much he resented Philip, he would not survive tonight. Such an arrogant and domineering person would not live to see the sun tomorrow. “Y-You hit him?” Ronan looked at Philip in disbelief, shocked that Philip would stand up for him. Although he usually appeared simple and kind, he was not a fool. He knew that Philip hit that guy to protect him. “If you meet such people again, just fight them and don’t worry about unnecessary things. You don't want to fight because you’re afraid of losing the right to enter the town, but you’re my brother from now on. “I can take care of your wine supply, and we can find other ways to make money. You don’t have to waste your efforts and live under someone else's roof anymore,” Philip said arrogantly, not taking these people seriously at all. Hearing that, Ronan nodded with
