After they left the clinic, Wynn brought Philip to a cafe nearby and ordered two cups of coffee. "Philip, now that I've lost my job, what should we do?" She said worriedly. Earlier, she had resigned from her job on an impulse. She was beginning to regret it. Beacon paid her rather well, and they needed money urgently. Philip shrugged. "Don't worry, I'm still here. I'll make sure that you and our daughter won't starve," he said calmly. "Should I go talk to Chairman Hall?" Wynn asked him, blinking. That was one of the very few times she asked for Philip's opinion. She had this impression that Philip had changed. Somehow, he became more dependable and made her feel safe. "I think that your Chairman Hall will give you a call soon. He'll be begging you to go back to work," Philip said calmly. Wynn was surprised, then rolled her eyes at Philip. "That's just your imagination. Didn't you see just now that I told him I quit in front of his face? "Whatever. I'm not going to d
Wynn was bewildered that Derrick suddenly contacted her and even offered to promote her to vice president. "You know?" Wynn asked doubtfully. 'What would Philip know? He's not employed in Beacon, and he doesn't know Derrick.' Philip grinned. "Maybe he had a pang of conscience over what he said to you earlier, and he genuinely wants to apologize." Wynn rolled her eyes at him and said nervously, "Don't joke around, I'm talking serious business here. He'll be coming here soon. What do you think I should do?" Wynn was worried about accepting the offer to become vice president. After all, not everyone deserved to sit in that chair. "Don't worry, I'm here for you. I'll bust his pig head open if he does something stupid to you," Philip said exaggeratedly. Wynn chuckled. Her eyebrows were curved and she looked very sweet. For a brief moment, Philip was transported back to the times when they were in school. Pure, innocent, and sweet. Derrick arrived at the cafe a while late
"Mm. Turner's Hospital wants to collaborate with Beacon, but the condition is that they will only negotiate with me," Wynn said hesitantly. She lifted her head and looked at Philip, "So, what do you think? Should I accept it?" Wynn wanted very much to accept Derrick's offer. After all, she did not want to lose her job. Moreover, Derick had also promised many benefits to her. She was quite satisfied with the offer. After all, she had to sustain her family and daughter. "I know you don't want to lose your job, Wynn. No matter what you choose, I will support your decision." Philip spoke as he draped her arm over Wynn's delicate neck, as though they were a couple in the prime of their youth. Wynn nodded seriously. "I'll have to treat Professor Turner to dinner one day," she said with a smile. "Alright, I'll arrange it with him," Philip replied. After the matter was settled, Wynn agreed to negotiate with Turner's Hospital. Also, true to his word, Derrick promoted Wynn to v
She was being unreasonable. Philip was nonetheless her son-in-law and had greeted her with sincerity. Martha tossed all of Philip's presents by the doorway and shouted angrily at him, "If you're still a man, Philip Clarke, then don't take another step into my house. I, Martha Yates, have nothing to do with you. The Johnston family doesn't welcome good-for-nothings like you in the household." Martha was currently fretting over what happened to Aiden. She was not happy when she saw that loser Philip Clarke at her door. 'Does he think he deserves to step into my house just because he brought a few presents? 'In his dreams!' Wynn was frustrated when she saw her mother being unreasonable. "What are you doing, Mom? Philip is here to talk to you," she said grumpily. Wynn turned around to pick the items, then brought Philip and sat down inside. Martha thought that it would be inappropriate to reprimand her daughter. She stopped driving Philip out of the house but did not show him
Wynn turned around, looked at Philip, and asked, “Did you do it?” Philip shook his head immediately and replied calmly, “How could it have been me? How am I capable of doing such a thing? You’re thinking too much.” He had almost let the cat out of the bag! Fortunately, Aiden had taken it from the back door the other day. Wynn frowned. She did not think Philip was capable of doing such a thing as well. However, at this time, Martha overheard the absurd conversation that was going on between them. She raised her eyebrows, stared at Philip, and asked, “What? This matter has something to do with you?” Wynn knew if Martha found out about what happened at the hotel the other day, she would most definitely find fault with Philip. Perhaps she might even get them to go through a divorce once again. “Mom, don’t be angry at Philip. This matter has nothing to do with him, “Wynn said. “It’s best if he has nothing to do with it. Otherwise, I’ll be the first to chase him out of the ho
Martha was dumbstruck! Her breath got stuck in her throat! One… hundred billion?! With a loud thud, Martha fell backward and landed on the ground. Her whole body had begun trembling uncontrollably. Very soon, several people gathered around her as they looked and pointed. “Oh, is she having a seizure?” “Call the emergency number quickly!” “Hurry up and call for someone. This looks serious!” Not long after, the employees of the bank rushed over and helped lift Martha onto a seat by the side. They then performed acupressure on her and gave her some water. Nevertheless, Martha struggled to wake up as her hands trembled. Her eyes were dull when she mumbled, “Hundred… billion.” The onlookers were baffled and had no idea what the old woman was mumbling about. Was she delusional? By this time, Philip and Wynn had rushed over to the scene. They had received a call from one of the bank staff who informed them of Martha’s location. “Mom, how do you feel? Are you alrigh
At this time, Wynn came over to help Martha was still trembling to walk. Together, they made their way to the resting area in the corner of the room and took a seat. Philip frowned, took out the card, and passed it over the counter. He said calmly, “Please ask your manager to come out.” The young lady at the counter was taken aback before she sneered. “Sir, do you really think there’s a hundred billion in that card?” What a joke. After the old lady was a young man. Was the whole family full of lunatics? However, Philip smiled faintly, “Then, I’ll withdraw the money.” The young lady looked at him in disdain as she mumbled under her breath, “So poor, yet he still wants to withdraw money. He really thinks he has a hundred billion!” The young lady accessed the bank’s system as she complained. She instructed in an unfriendly manner, “Key in your password.” Philip obliged. The young lady continued to operate the system. However, when she saw the balance of the card, she s
Patrick stood up abruptly from his chair. His eyes were wide open and his breathing was rapid. Who could have a bank balance of one hundred billion? Not to mention, that person had shown up at his small little branch! If he could get even a hundred million worth of financial investment, he would no longer have to work throughout the year! Moreover, there was a chance he would get promoted to become a branch president the following year! In the case that this big customer pumped in money into his branch, his performance for the year would skyrocket! It just so happened that a few days ago, during a meeting at the head office, his branch had been specifically criticized for poor performance in terms of customer deposits. They were in last place compared to all the other branches! Patrick had been very troubled by the matter. If it continued, he would be fired as the branch manager! Without thinking twice, Patrick trotted out. “Quick, take me to him!” When he arrived i
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
