At that moment, the entire crowd in the side hall was flabbergasted! All of them stared at the bemused Philip in horror! Philip quickly said to Pearce at this time, “Old sir, you don’t have to be so polite. Since you were the Clarke family’s teacher, I’m your junior.” Pearce nodded with a smile and commented, “Sure enough, a true diamond can only be found in the rough. Young Master Clarke, you’re a man of great talent. With an heir like you, the Clarke family can surely persevere for generations to come.” Hearing these words, the others who were still in shock quickly greeted Philip, “Young Master Clarke!” Mr. Chavez from earlier completely lost his composure at this moment. He quickly ran to Philip and said, “I’m sorry, Young Master Clarke. I was too ignorant just now. If I’ve offended you in any way, I hope you can be generous and overlook my recklessness.” With that said, Mr. Chavez bowed with a humble attitude. Philip simply glanced at him and said, “Mr. Chavez, there
Speaking of this, Pearce suddenly got up and bowed deeply to Philip. He said solemnly, “I implore you, Young Master Clarke, to help the Gilson family.” At this scene, Philip quickly held Pearce and said, “Old sir, what are you doing? Get up quickly. Let’s have a good talk.” Pearce refused to get up and said, “Young Master Clarke, I wasn’t sure about this matter at first, but after seeing you today, I know that only you can save the Gilson family. As long as you promise to save the Gilson family, I’ll definitely repay you no matter what I have to do!” Philip was anxious. He quickly signaled Wilbur to pull Pearce up and said, “Old sir, you don’t have to do this. If you have any requests, I’ll oblige. Besides, this is the condition I have offered in exchange for this key. If you have any request, you can say so directly and I’ll certainly do my best to help.” Only then did Pearce stand up and say to Philip, “Young Master Clarke, the Gilson family is in deep trouble. My daughter, T
Philip frowned slightly, looked at the luxury car next to the old man, and said to Victor Bell beside him, “You can go back first.” Victor nodded and replied, “Yes, Young Master Clarke.” After saying that, Philip directly got into the car. Soon, the car brought Philip to a café. Philip followed the old man and came to the innermost room. The decoration was simple and rustic. Sheryl sat in the middle of the room, making coffee. She had removed her coat, revealing her graceful figure. She blended beautifully into the surroundings. As expected of a daughter of an affluent family, her every move and smile carried a sense of elegance. Her art of brewing coffee was quite pleasing to the eye. Philip came in through the door, applauded, and said with a laugh, “Miss Larson, you really know how to enjoy the finer things in life. Your brewing skills are superb.” Sheryl smiled delicately. With a slender jade-like hand, she pushed a cup of coffee in front of Philip who had already
“Why are you telling me this? The Clarke family is still the Clarke family. With my father and me around, the Clarke family will not fall,” Philip said flatly. He wanted to figure out Sheryl’s purpose in looking for him tonight. Was it merely to reminisce about the past? Impossible! He had seen Sheryl’s methods when he was a child. She may look weak on the surface but her heart was full of schemes. There were rumors that Sheryl Larson was a candidate to be the future head of the Larson family. That was right. A female candidate as the head of the Larson family in Fernvale would definitely cause a worldwide sensation! Sheryl turned around, looked at Philip seriously, and said, “Philip, don't you want to find the people behind the scenes? Don't you want to find out the truth about your mother's accident back then?” At the mention of his mother, Philip’s expression turned cold. He stared at Sheryl with scorching eyes and asked coldly, “Do you know something about my mo
Hearing this, Philip, who just stood up, abruptly turned around. He stared at Sheryl grimly, an invincible aura suddenly erupting from his body. He asked solemnly, “Are you threatening me?” “No, I'm making a deal with you. A deal between the Larson family and the future head of the Clarke family.” Sheryl had a faint smile on her face as if she was not at all afraid of the monstrous chill that was surging through Philip's body at this moment. After a while, Philip retracted his intense aura. He stared at Sheryl darkly and said, “What kind of deal do you want to make?” Sheryl smiled gently like the sunshine in March. She stretched out her slender hand and said, “Please have a seat.” Philip waved his hand and said, “No need, I’m in a hurry. Let’s listen to your deal.” Sheryl smiled sweetly and said, “I can give you your sister’s news in Country M in exchange for you replacing the Larson family to go to Nonagon.” After saying this, Sheryl sat there quietly, waiting for Philip
He had to figure out what kind of existence the Alliance was. Philip squeezed his fists bitterly, ready to get up and leave. However, at this time, Sheryl said, “Philip, the Nonagon is not as simple as you think. You have to be prepared. Moreover, according to what I’ve heard, Nonagon has selected more candidates nationwide than in the past this time. Their actions show their urgency. I think there must be a problem and they’re eager to solve it.” After hearing this, Philip said, “Thank you.” Then, he left this place. After a while, Butler Kent walked in and bowed to Sheryl who was drinking coffee. He said, “Miss, he has left.” Sheryl’s expression was bland with a trace of uncertainty in her eyes as she asked, “Butler Kent, do you think it’s right for me to do this?” Butler Kent smiled slightly and said, “Miss, there’s no right or wrong decision. As long as it’s your decision, the Larson family will execute it.” “Really?” Sheryl pursed her lips suddenly and said, “I j
Back to Philip. He returned to the hotel and found that Wynn had fallen asleep. Thus, he sat on the sofa, took out the two phoenix feather pendants, and started studying them. The fiery red phoenix feather pendants had obscure and incomprehensible patterns on them. From the looks of it, they both really were just jade pendants. Nothing unusual could be seen from them. What kind of existence was the door? What role did the Nonagon play, and was his mother’s accident related to the Nonagon? Philip was skeptical. Originally, he had targeted the former supreme, but now, it seemed that the stakes were more complicated than he imagined! Was there something deeper going on between the former supreme and the Nonagon? Philip sat on the sofa and looked at the pendants for a while. Then, a gentle voice sounded behind him. A tender hand pressed on his shoulder and the woman asked gently, “What's wrong? What are you thinking about?” Philip touched the small hand on his shoulder, loo
Damn it! Was Philip Clarke making fun of him? Then, Philip’s next sentence made Kelsey even more ashamed. Philip put his hands in his trouser pockets and said nonchalantly, “Kelsey Clarke, have you forgotten how I beat you up yesterday?” As soon as he said that, everyone on Victor’s side laughed. This made Kelsey very embarrassed. His face darkened and he gritted his teeth with hatred. While pointing at Philip angrily, he said, “Philip, stop being so arrogant! I’m not here today to compete with you on numbers. Hurry up and release them! Otherwise, I’ll bring my people and barge in. At that time, anything that happens will be your responsibility! Besides, I’m representing my father today. Listen carefully, it’s my father, the chieftain of the branch family, giving you a final warning to release my family members!” Kelsey was upset, especially when those people opposite laughed at him. It made him even more upset! He was the young master of the branch family, after all. Whe
