His son had gone out for work and died in a car accident last year. Therefore, only this poor couple was left in the household. “Young man, your injury is serious and the little girl also has a high fever. Are you sure you don’t want to go to the hospital?” The old man asked anxiously. Dan shook his head and thanked him. Then, he took out a few wet bills, handed them to the old man, and said, “Can I ask you to invite the village doctor over?” The old man did not take the money but said, “I’ll go now.” As soon as he left the room, his wife grabbed him and lowered her voice while pointing to the room, saying, “Old Man, don't you think he's strange? Why don’t we call the police?” The old man also took a few glances, his emotions complicated. Dan had explained earlier that his car flipped so he walked to the village. He had also said to wait until dawn. He would call someone to deal with this matter then. “Forget it, he doesn't look like a bad guy. Besides, it’s the middl
Hearing this, Sidney was taken aback for a moment. There was a faint sneer at the corner of his mouth as he said, “Dad, are you trying to test Philip?” Kinley smiled without saying anything and looked out the window as the rain gradually stopped. A flickering sneer appeared on his aged face as he said, “Of course, we must test him. The Wes family is in this state because of him! We should get an indication from him this time and see whether dignity or his daughter is more important to him.” “Dad, how many people are we going to bring there this time? The Lambert family’s house is not a good place. Do I need to arrange for people to follow us?” Sidney asked. It was not without reason for him to be worried. After all, the Lambert family in Cloudside was like the royal family. Their home was heavily guarded! Besides, they were going to face Philip Clarke, the young man who caused the Wes family their downfall! Kinley pondered for a moment before saying, “Bring some. Just pic
Terrifying! As if he had guessed what was on Sidney’s mind, Kinley added, “These people should be here to protect Philip.” Hearing this, Sidney frowned as he recalled the armband that Philip had taken out that day! Afterward, his father had explained to him the special significance of that armband! In the territory, it was a first-class honor! No wonder there were people from the military corps standing guard here. Not long after, the bodyguard from before quickly walked out and said to Kinley, “Master Lambert invites the both of you in.” After that, Kinley thanked him and stepped inside with Sidney. “Sorry, Master Lambert only extended his invitation to two people. These bodyguards can’t go in.” The Lambert family's bodyguards stopped the four elite bodyguards in suits behind Kinley. The atmosphere instantly became tense. Kinley smiled and motioned for them to stay outside and wait. Soon, the two arrived at the main hall of the Lambert family’s mansion. At th
Kinley smiled and said, “Master Lambert, you think too highly of us. We won’t take this money. We just want to tell Young Master Clarke what we know in person.” Nigel frowned. After some confirmation, he walked aside, dialed Philip’s number, and said respectfully, “Young Master Clarke, someone wants to see you. He says he has clues about Miss Clarke.” Philip was outside. After receiving this call, his eyes went cold as he asked, “Who is the other party?” Nigel replied, “The other party is Kinley Wes and Sidney Wes. They’re not from Cloudside. They should be—” “I got it. I’ll return immediately!” Philip ended the call as a trace of complex emotions appeared in his eyes. Kinley Wes and Sidney Wes! Why had they appeared here? By right, these two people should have been arrested. Now, the other party was actually here and claiming they had clues about Mila. Something fishy must be going on. Philip was very puzzled. He asked the driver to turn around and rush back to t
Inside the hall, a dozen bodyguards had already barged in and surrounded the place! Sidney got a fright and shouted, “Philip Clarke, we know your daughter's whereabouts!” “Are you threatening me?” Philip turned his head, his cold eyes falling on Sidney. Sidney felt uncomfortable under this gaze and his temper diminished immediately. He turned his head to look at his father. Kinley smiled lightly. He looked calm on the surface but his heart was in turmoil! “Young Master Clarke, I apologize on Sidney’s behalf. I heard about your daughter’s whereabouts from my men. Yesterday, a group of people was burned to death in Serene Town outside Cloudside. Apparently, one person escaped, but unfortunately, that person accidentally drove off the cliff. His whereabouts are still unknown. At the scene, only the badly damaged Buick was found. The license plate number is A56825…” At this point, Kinley stopped and took out a photo. It was the damaged car at the bottom of the cliff. Philip t
Big discovery? Philip was intrigued and quickly opened the case file. After a few cursory glances, his eyes gradually became cold. Most of the content inside was related to Chester’s personal experience and so on, which Philip was not interested in. What he was interested in was whether there were people or forces behind Chester Ludwig. Sure enough, there was! The support he had turned out to be quite big! “The Gentleman Court?” Philip frowned, his expression darkening slightly. This was the first time he had heard about the Gentleman Court. On the side, Josh said, “That’s right, Gentleman Court isn’t very conspicuous but they have people in many important regions or industries. It can be said that this force’s influence is very widely spread and the leaders from all walks of life may even be their people.” Philip nodded and continued reading. Josh also continued talking, “According to the results of the investigation, Gentleman Court has a very mysterious big boss be
Obviously, the other party’s target was Philip but they were going around in circles. Philip shook his head and said, “It’s okay, I know my limits. Even if the Gentleman Court is an iron wall, I’ll crush it to smithereens!” At this moment, two figures suddenly appeared at the entrance of the main hall. They were wearing loose, long black robes with hoods over their heads, concealing their true appearances. The only thing that could be clearly identified was the golden dagger crest on their collars. “Young Master!” The two figures walked in, directly knelt on one knee, and greeted Philip respectfully. Philip frowned when he saw the visitors and asked, “Father sent you here?” The two replied, “Yes. The lord ordered us to protect the young master in secret while rescuing the young miss.” “Then why did you suddenly show up?” Philip asked. The two replied, “Young Master, because you want to take action against the Gentleman Court. The lord has instructed that once you lear
The Clarke family of Arcadia Island?! Hearing this, Chester shuddered all over as the cold sweat on his forehead came gushing! How could this be? Why was the Clarke family on Arcadia Island keeping an eye on him? A family like that was definitely not one he could easily oppose! “Miss Clarke, I’d appreciate your clear advice.” Chester panicked. Rachel glanced at him coldly and said, “Let’s go in and talk.” Soon, the two entered the suite. Rachel sat on the sofa with elegant poise. She sipped a mouthful of warm coffee and said, “Do you know who Philip Clarke is?” Chester respectfully responded, “Wynn Johnston’s husband from the Johnston family in Riverdale and the young master of Clarke Group which has gone bankrupt. According to the clues I found, he’s also the owner behind Milanelson Angel Investment Group and knows many people on the streets. Theo Zander of Riverdale and Master Bell of Uppercreek are his people and they’re quite respectful to him. Moreover, the Lambert
