Half a day later. Sidney Wes had left Cloudside and was being sent to the Dunley family in Hampton at top speed! In the Dunley family’s mansion which was thousands of square feet big, Sidney was lying on the bed of a room in a separate courtyard. His legs and feet were wrapped with bandages and splints. Several loyal underlings of the Wes family stood guard at the entrance of the room. At this time, a figure approached from a distance while exuding an elegant aura. His hands were behind his back, and he was followed by several maids of the Dunley family. This person looked about 40 years old. He had a pale but smiling face, looking very cordial and easygoing. There were also several guards of the Dunley family at the door. Upon seeing the visitor, they bowed and greeted respectfully, “Master Spencer.” He was the fourth master of the Dunley family, Spencer Dunley. In the Dunley family, he had high prestige, was easy-going and elegant, and had great literary talent. How
Hearing that, Sidney immediately said, “Master Spencer, I beg you, you must avenge my father!” Spencer smiled lightly, looked at the jade pendant in Sidney's hand, and stretched out his hand. Sidney hesitated briefly but still handed the jade pendant to Spencer. It was because he knew that Spencer's fame and prestige were on par with the Dunley family's patriarch. He had the title of ‘little patriarch’ in the Dunley family. Spencer took the jade pendant, glanced at it, and said lightly, “I’ll pass your request to my third brother, but Sidney, do curb your anxiousness. Regarding this matter, my Dunley family will definitely help you to the end. You should take a good rest here. My third brother is on a business trip and will be back in a few days. When the time comes, I’ll bring you to see him.” Since he had already put it this way, no matter how stupid Sidney was, he could still discern the meaning. After being stunned for a moment, Sidney said, “I shall listen to you, Mast
Inside the study, Sterling and Spencer stood together, looking at the sky outside the window. The former stood with his hands behind his back and said with some emotion, “How is the situation in Cloudside?” Spencer stood half a step behind the other party and said, “Things are already clear. This time, barring any accidents, the Gentleman Court will lose a member.” “The Gentleman Court, huh? Even the lord of the alliance has to be apprehensive about them. I didn’t expect that old master to test the Clarke family’s reaction and bottom line at the cost of losing one person,” Sterling said. “We can’t get involved with the Gentleman Court. The Dunley family should sit on the stands and watch the fight from afar,” Spencer said. Sterling nodded before asking, “How are the preparations for the alliance’s chamber of commerce in Hampton?” “It’s almost ready. We can start next month. By then, everyone in the alliance will attend.” Spencer said, “Moses has invited Philip. I wonder if
Philip stood at the door and looked at that wonderful figure with a faint sneer at the corner of his mouth. He took a few steps forward and sat on the fluffy sofa. There was already a glass of red wine on the table, glinting mesmerizingly. Rachel turned around with a charming smile and moved to walk in front of Philip. She deliberately raised her leg high before crossing it as she sat down. She said with a smile, “You’re finally here. I’ve been waiting for you for ages.” Her voice was soft and gentle, making people tingle all over. With such beautiful scenery of a charming woman and fine wine, any man would be moved. Philip smiled lightly, a trace of cunningness flashing in his eyes as he asked, “Tell me what’s your purpose of asking me here. It’s late at night. A man and a woman being alone in a room together can be very dangerous.” Rachel giggled alluringly, and her figure also looked seductive. “Young Master Clarke, what’s the matter? Can't we just sit and enjoy the vi
No one spoke for a while. Philip kept his piercing gaze on Rachel. After a while, a faint sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth as he asked, “If you were me and your daughter was kidnapped, sold abroad, and almost met with an accident, what would you do?” Rachel’s expression changed as she started explaining, “Chester was wrong in this matter. The lord has also criticized him for this. If you still feel angry about it, you can state your conditions for you to spare him.” Hehe. Philip sneered, got up, and walked to the French window. He looked at the black business cars parked on the dark street outside. Then, he said, “If I refuse, will those people you’ve arranged below rush in and take me down?” Hearing this, Rachel’s heart lurched and she felt beads of cold sweat seeping on her forehead. The temperature in the room also dropped suddenly. “Oh, Young Master Clarke, you’re really good at joking.” Rachel forced out the words after a long while. Philip did not laugh
As soon as these words were spoken, Rachel's face instantly became very unpleasant. She stared fixedly at Philip with her almond-shaped eyes and asked, “Are you really not going to spare Chester?”Philip did not need to answer. His silence was already an answer. Rachel’s eyes froze as a glint flashed across them. She said, “Everyone, come in!” Bang! The door to the suite was pushed open and instantly, a dozen thugs in black suits rushed in. All of them looked ferocious. “Philip Clarke, don't say I didn't give you a chance. Tonight, as long as you promise not to do anything to Chester Ludwig, I can let you go!” Rachel said coldly with her arms across her chest, her face showing a hint of warning. Philip looked very calm. He glanced at the dozen or so thugs behind her as a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He said, “Do you really think you can make me change my mind with just these people? You’re underestimating me.” As he said that! Biff, bang! At the d
Before long, a Bentley quickly drove out of the Lambert family’s mansion. Those who had been lurking around also immediately dialed Chester’s number. At this moment, Chester was pacing back and forth in the suite, looking very anxious! Suddenly! A ringing sound. Chester quickly picked up the call and asked, “So, how is the matter going? Did you bring back the person? Was she in the hospital or the Lamberts’ place?” On the other side of the phone, the subordinate was panting and said, “Master Ludwig, we got the person. We’re now heading to the place you arranged.” “Good, good! Everything’s fine as long as you have her. I’ll have a look over there in a while.” Chester breathed a sigh of relief. After so many years, he should already be immune, but when he heard the news now, he was still excited for a moment! He got his trump card! It was also this time that another call came in. “Master Ludwig, we saw Nigel rushing to the hospital from the Lamberts’ mansion. He alrea
“Pick up the call. He must be looking for you for something.” Philip said as he stood with his arms behind his back. There was a calm look in his eyes. That look made Rachel’s heart thump. It was as if she was facing the lord. The look in this guy’s eyes gave Rachel a very bad feeling. It was too profound! Especially behind that indifference, it revealed a sense of crisis that was under control. Rachel furrowed her shapely eyebrows. She answered the call and said coldly, “What’s the matter?” On the other end, Chester said respectfully, “Miss Clarke, everything is done. I’ve brought that little girl out. She has been secretly transferred to a safe location. Do you want to come over to take a look?” Rachel’s heart trembled when she heard Chester’s words. Oh no, this was bad! She raised her eyebrows and looked at Philip who was standing in front of her. He was too calm. Did it look like his daughter had been taken away yet again? Of course not! In that case, th
