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
Professor Turner had really come for Philip! This was astonishing. In the eyes of Juan, Philip was a complete loser! What was it about him that made Professor Turner treat him so respectfully? Wait! Juan recalled the time he saw Philip and Professor Turner in the rest area of the hospital. ‘Did Professor Turner also come specifically for him at that time?”All of a sudden, Juan panicked. At the same time, he was very angry. ‘This is impossible! It must be a mistake!’ Wynn still had her eyes opened wide. She looked at Philip in disbelief, her tiny mouth opening slightly. With her lips trembling, she asked, "Philip… Philip, did you really get Professor Turner?" ‘How is this happening?’If this happened in the past, Wynn would think that this Professor Turner was an impostor.However, after what happened last night, Wynn got to know the other side of Philip. Although, even if Philip's family was well to do, it still would not have led to Professor Turner treating hi
While Professor Turner was doing a comprehensive check-up on Mila, Wynn took Philip to the rest area and stared at him.Philip shrugged helplessly and decided to be honest. "Well, let me be honest, Professor Turner used to be my father's private doctor."Private doctor?" Wynn was surprised, her eyes were sparkling.‘Who was Philip's father? He had the means to hire Professor Turner as his private doctor?’"Philip, is there nothing else that you want to tell me?" Wynn asked again, her face showing slight anger.‘Philip must still be hiding something from me.’Philip immediately hugged Wynn’s waist. He smiled and said, “There’s really nothing else. Professor Turner was not so famous at that time. My dad had an issue with his health, so he asked Professor Turner to be his private doctor. I don't have a reason to lie to you. If I am lying, I will be struck by lightning..."Just as Philip wanted to make an oath, Wynn immediately covered his mouth, glared at him with a coquettish look
Everyone was surprised by the appearance of a talking rabbit, and it was very expressive too. Someone who did not know the situation would think that it was a human! On the way here, they heard some rumors about this rabbit having an amazing storage space. It sounded spectacular, but no one believed it. After all, even people of their status could not get a storage space. How could a mere rabbit own such a legendary treasure? Hence, everyone was surprised to see Rabbit for themselves. “Sir, is that the mysterious and powerful rabbit that was rumored outside? Why don’t we catch it and see if we can find something about it? Even if there’s nothing special about that rabbit, it’s fun to keep a talking rabbit around!” a lapdog said excitedly, clearly very curious about this talking rabbit. “You’re right. Who can refuse a talking rabbit? It’s fun to keep it as entertainment. If I use it to pick up women, I believe more women will fall in love with me!” Hogster was very excited and
Although Carlos was not that concerned about appearance, he was not fond of the idea of Vanna being together with an ugly man either. He wanted Vanna to find bliss too. Hogster was angry at Celeste’s provocation and shocked that someone would turn him down. He had to say that some secular women were ignorant and blind. In his opinion, she ignored him simply because she did not know how powerful he was. Only the women in the guild were smart enough to please him. “Carlos, since I’m here, let’s have a good chat. I plan to take Vanna away!” Hogster looked at Carlos with confidence. Although Carlos was someone he couldn't afford to offend, Hogster had his pride too. As the heir to his guild, his status was noble. Carlos sneered at his arrogance. Hogster expected to take Vanna away with just one remark. He really thought highly of himself. Carlos’ mission was to protect Vanna. He was not concerned about anything else. “Do you think just anyone can take the young heiress of Cel
Ronan frowned when someone kicked the door open. Carlos and his men woke up from their drunken stupor as well and looked around solemnly. In general, practitioners would not get drunk after drinking, but they had not used their energy to neutralize the alcohol earlier. Now that something was happening, they could not remain intoxicated. Everyone stood on guard, wondering what happened. They saw a man kicking the door open. After the man kicked the door open, he appeared in front of everyone smugly. Everyone felt disgusted to see his smug look and was surprised by his ugly appearance. Philip frowned at this person. He was sure that he did not know this guy, but seeing his smug look, he should be the ugly Hogster that everyone was talking about. Carlos had mentioned earlier that Hogster's ugly appearance was so distinct that anyone could recognize him at a glance. He had a very short figure and a ridiculous proportion, like a dwarf with no legs! Philip recognized him at a gla
“What’s wrong with you? Why are you crying?” Hogster picked up the kid angrily. Hogster was never a patient man, so he was even more annoyed by the kid’s defiance. He wanted to teach the kid a lesson for messing with him. “Stop crying. I want to ask you something. If you answer me properly, I’ll leave you alone.” Hogster smacked the kid, leaving him in a daze. The kid had never encountered such a situation before and simply sobbed. “Have you heard anything about an ugly woman? She was supposed to be the bride of the Cohen family, but the marriage was canceled at the last minute.” Hogster glared at the sobbing child in exasperation but he had to ask his questions patiently. After all, the kid looked the easiest to bully among everyone around. The child stopped crying and nodded after hearing him. “Someone took the ugly woman away. They're staying in the small house over there!” He was afraid that Hogster would hit him again, so he blurted everything he knew. The kid always hun
If the Celestial Palace could help them groom some people or lend them some experts, they might stand a chance in the competition. Seeing that time was running out, Hogster could not wait to solve the problem. Things would become difficult if he failed to marry Vanna. Hogster searched for Vanna’s whereabouts with his men. He was very anxious and wanted to find Vanna immediately. “Didn’t you say that the woman is here? Why is there no sign of her?” Hogster smacked his subordinate’s head in anger. The subordinate who got hit was shocked by his sudden attack, but at the thought of Hogster’s temper, he had no choice but to put up with it. As a pampered young heir, it was normal for Hogster to have a bad temper. His subordinates could do nothing but wallow in silence. “As far as we know, she’s nearby, but no one knows her exact location. These people don’t have a permanent residence, so finding her is more difficult than finding a needle in a haystack,” his men said nervously. T
Vanna was relieved. “That’s great. I’m surprised that my father is so sensible about this. If he dares to send someone to deal with you, I’ll make sure he doesn’t have an easy time either!” Vanna said in a huff. Vanna was angry at the thought of her father’s stubborn streak. “By the way, Hogster may cause trouble for you. I can see that your boss is very powerful. At worst, you can ask your boss to help you out. Not just anyone can take care of this.” Carlos knew how strong Ronan was, but he would be facing a guild. He did not think Ronan could win the fight. Fighting the guild would be the worst option. He hoped that Ronan could think about it carefully without being too conceited. “I think your boss is powerful enough to handle it easily. It’ll be difficult for you to deal with it single-handedly. “Hogster and his guild are very vindictive. You’ll be in trouble if he finds out that you stole his prey. Although the Celestial Palace can help you in certain areas, you'll hav
“Here, let’s eat and drink to our hearts' content. Don’t bother with formalities. Just treat this as your own home!” Ronan enthusiastically poured wine for the guards, who were flattered by his gesture. They knew that Vanna had settled down with this man. He could be considered their boss too, so no one dared to accept the wine he poured personally. Ronan laughed at their reaction and knew that his plan had worked.…. While they marveled at the wine, the guild that had previously asked for Vanna’s hand in marriage received the news. This guild was strong enough to enter into a political marriage with the Celestial Palace, but it was no better than the Celestial Palace. They just wanted to use this opportunity to join forces with the Celestial Palace to become stronger. Unexpectedly, Vanna rejected the marriage and ran away without showing up at all. “Damn it, that woman will turn 20 soon. What will happen if she doesn’t restore her appearance in time? I don't want to marry a
Carlos was so fast that he was back before Ronan knew it. Ronan was nervous when he saw Carlos standing at the door again. “We need to wait for the guild leader to decide what to do. For now, I’m here to protect Vanna. I may need to stay here for the time being. I hope you don't mind.” Carlos was very polite and did not annoy anyone. Hearing that, Philip nodded and made arrangements for the guards to stay. With two vacant rooms left, they had to squeeze a bit. The other party did not make things difficult for them, which meant there was room for negotiation, so they could relax a little. Although Ronan was very nervous, Philip thought they had a chance. “Let’s have a good meal tonight.” Ronan looked at the people squeezed into two rooms, his mouth twitching. Celeste and Darius had taken on the task of cooking, and their food was to die for. “Sure!” Carlos agreed without hesitation, hoping that Ronan would serve more of that wine because he did not have his fill at the g
As Carlos drank the wine decisively, the guild leader looked at him expectantly. If not for his dignity, he would have tasted the wine already. Carlos took a sip of wine and closed his eyes to savor it in delight. “In my opinion, I don’t think you should take the wine. Just let me take care of it for you!” Carlos could not help teasing him. Carlos and the guild leader were more like brothers, so their interaction was not that formal. The guild leader smiled helplessly, picked up the glass, and drank the wine in one gulp. “This wine…” He was suddenly at a loss for how to describe the beauty of the wine. It felt as if this wine was only fit for heaven, too good for this world. The two took one sip after another until the guild leader wanted to keep the wine away. “Sir, don't be so stingy. There’s still a little bit of wine left. Let's just finish it!” Not just anyone could take this wine. Even a strong practitioner would feel close to bursting after drinking so much. “Get
