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
Juan was startled. With a suspicious look, he said, "What do you mean?"Suddenly, he felt that the Philip in front of him today was a little different. However, he could not really put a finger on what was different about Philip.Philip said indifferently, "Don’t worry about it. I just want to tell you that I can do what you can't do."Philip had endured Juan's provocation for a long time.Today, he did not mind letting Juan know about his actual capabilities."Philip, have you gone mad? Are you trying to tell me that the patient that Professor Turner is meeting today is Mila?" Juan said in a mocking tone with a cold expression in his eyes.‘Who does this piece of trash think he is? Professor Turner is a legend. Even for someone with my background, I had to beg him for a long time. So how can someone like Philip get in contact with him?’Philip did not deny it but instead smiled faintly. "You'll find out in a while.""Okay, Philip, you have become a better liar now. Do you know
Juan was not to blame. After all, he did not have the capacity to think about why Professor Turner was coming to the emergency room.In Juan’s mind, the probability that the doctor that Philip had been in contact with was Professor Turner was impossibly low. Wynn was a little embarrassed. She did not want Philip to be looked down on again.Philip mentioned previously that he had been in contact with Professor Turner.However, no one believed him, not even Wynn.That was the case even after Philip opened up to her last night and told her that his family was fairly comfortable and that he had around two million dollars in savings.However, she was partial to Juan when it came to the matter of Professor Turner.After all, even if one had the money, one may not necessarily have the connection.Furthermore, Wynn still doubted whether Philip really had two million dollars."Philip, forget about it. Just apologize to Juan, there is no need to go on like this." Wynn looked at Philip
Anyone with any ideas could only shake their heads helplessly after hearing Philip’s remarks. At the same time, they were amazed by the ring’s function. “Wow, that’s great. The person who made this thing must be a genius!” Cameron clapped his hands excitedly. Of course, he was worried that someone would steal his treasure. After all, owning a treasure was a sin in itself. It was inevitable for others to covet his treasure. It would be bad if they attacked him because of greed. With Philip’s explanation, his trouble would be reduced. “That sounds amazing.” The patriarch of the Lamy family seemed dissatisfied. He had some crooked thoughts too. With their family’s financial resources, they could not buy so many rings, so he planned to steal the other two as well. He was not that stupid to steal from Philip, so he could only set his sights on the other major families. Everyone wanted the rings anyway. As long as he refused to admit it, no one would know that he was guilty.
It was too much to use half of the family's assets and properties in exchange for one storage space. “Are you sure about this? Do you know how much that would cost?” “The Lamy family must be crazy to go all out for this treasure!” Everyone complained helplessly. They might be in trouble if the Lamy family insisted on doing it this way. “I know you guys can’t afford it, so stop wasting your time. The Lamy family has made an offer. If you can up the price, go ahead. Don’t stop us from buying that treasure!” the patriarch of the Lamy family said smugly. He felt that his offer was high enough and no one could afford it, so this thing would definitely belong to him. Even Ronan was surprised by this development. He had heard of the Lamy family before. Ronan had worked for the Lamy family before, but their attitude toward him was the same as that of other families—indifferent and disdainful. Therefore, Ronan had the same bad impression about everyone. The Lamy family was not
Rather than saying that they were unwilling to believe it, it was more likely that they did not dare to believe it. Ronan calmly put the ring aside. “I'm wearing a ring that looks better than the ones you're about to get. Watch this.” After saying that, Ronan demonstrated to everyone what a real storage space could do. Anything he took in his hand vanished and appeared at will, which looked simply amazing. Everyone was jealous at this scene. They stared at Ronan’s hands nervously, trying to see if he was performing a magic trick or showing off the storage ring. After Ronan's many demonstrations, they finally confirmed that Ronan was not lying. Everything was true. Everyone exclaimed in amazement. “Wow, I can’t believe that I really saw a storage space in action!” “It’s amazing!” “I have to get hold of one!” Although Sadie had been dealt a heavy blow, she hid in a corner and observed the situation instead of leaving. She wanted to see how things would develop. When S
“Heh, look at those crazy family patriarchs. They can't wait to suck up to Ronan! Do you think they’ll question the Claude family after hearing about the storage space? They’ll only turn up in person to find out about it! “With so many of them putting pressure on us, what do you think we can do? Now, we may not even get that amazing storage space because there are too many people competing with us!” Cameron was furious and almost passed out in anger because of this stupid woman. Sadie scowled at the yard in disbelief as she realized that the crowd causing the commotion was the patriarchs of the other major families. She thought that they were servants sent by the families, but everything was different from what she imagined. “How did this happen? I planned everything perfectly. We just need to throw the wool over their eyes. Things shouldn't have turned out like this!” Sadie almost had a mental breakdown at this bad news. “No way. This is impossible…” Seeing the family
“Forget it. I won't talk to you anymore. I want to claim the credit for what I’ve done!” Sadie quickly turned and left. The butler wanted to stop her, but she vanished before he could say anything. In the end, he remained silent. “The plan really backfired on her. Unfortunately, she can only blame it on her bad luck.” The butler knew the situation the family was facing now. Their residence would probably be turned upside down. The Claude family could have owned a storage space, but everything was ruined now. Not only would they fail to get one, but others would also humiliate them! Sadie quickly arrived at the yard and rolled her eyes at the crowd. “Dad, over here!” Sadie beckoned her father excitedly as if she had great news for him. Cameron was very anxious at this point and wished he could find a solution. When Sadie called him, he thought his solution had appeared. He rushed over and looked at Sadie curiously. “What’s up? Is there any good news?” He was very excited
Everyone was excited to hear that Ronan had those legendary items. It was great. “Our family has to get one!” The patriarch of the Lamy family was the most excited. The members of this family had always been strong-headed and were determined to get it. The other families were unhappy to hear that. They were not that bad either, so they were annoyed by that high-handed remark. “All the major families are powerful in our own rights. I think there’s no need to conclude so quickly.” “I agree. I’m afraid you’ll hide and cry if you fail to get one. That'll be embarrassing.” “Even the major families are not confident about this. Who do you think you are to get it?” Everyone targeted the swell-headed Lamy family even though they were indeed big and powerful enough to steal the treasure from them. The Claude family was the most excited yet regretful. Instead of feeling happy that the families were bickering with each other, they were worried. Although the families were fighting
Besides, Philip mentioned that he would help Ronan make a name for himself. The storage rings that Philip provided were quite meager, with only 30 to 70 cubic feet of storage space each. However, that did not stop Ronan from admiring Philip. He knew that Philip had various treasures, but he was willing to share them with Ronan, which was too generous for words. To prevent Ronan from getting the short end of the stick, Philip also provided some common things for doing business. Due to this, Ronan wanted to serve Philip. In their world, the best way to express gratitude was to acknowledge the other party as their master. It was not only to seize the opportunity but also to find a good roof over their head. Thinking of this, Ronan did not dare to call Philip his brother anymore. Ronan decided to approach Philip at night and find a way to acknowledge him as his master so that he could serve Philip wholeheartedly. Philip had no idea about Ronan’s thoughts. He was still think
Everything Rabbit owned, including the storage space and various treasures, was given by Philip. So, Rabbit could come up with some amazing things for these people to please him. Rabbit felt very proud of this accomplishment. “Ahem, everyone, follow me! I know you’re eager to see Philip, but you have to follow the rules. Don't be as rude as the Claude family!” Rabbit said calmly. He was very unhappy with the Claude family. Hearing that, members of the Claude family were livid. They were shocked by Rabbit's words. He was deliberately putting them down! Those remarks were likely to affect their status among the major families. That off-handed tone might cause other major families to reject them. “I’m surprised that this family would be so arrogant and disrespect you!” “How could they treat that precious storage space so carelessly? I say, those people are too bold to disregard such a valuable treasure!” “This family is stupid and arrogant. Let's ignore them to avoid any ass
However, Cameron and his people were arrogant enough to lock Philip up. How dare they?! “Cameron, you went too far!” “I never knew that the Claude family were such people. I really misjudged you before. You’re really too much for treating such an amazing person that way.” Everyone pretended to be angry and kept speaking up for Philip, trying to please Rabbit and indirectly please Philip. Cameron was startled by Rabbit’s words, which easily landed him in trouble. “No, that's not exactly the case. I didn't lock Philip up but gave him a place to stay. How would I dare to lock up such a powerful person? You really think too highly of me.” However, Cameron’s explanation was useless. Everyone believed that Cameron locked Philip up on purpose, so they wanted to get him into trouble. Whether Cameron locked Philip up or treated Philip as a valuable guest, they wanted to ruin Cameron’s reputation. Once they got rid of Cameron, they could focus on pleasing Philip. “You must be
