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
Kelsey was taken aback. When he saw Philip's seemingly murderous gaze, he felt uncomfortable all over as if he was being stared at by a fierce beast. His heart jumped wildly and he could not help but take a few steps back. He was stammering as he shouted, “You... What do you want to do? I’m telling you, Philip, I’m representing my father this time. Listen carefully. This is my father’s ultimatum to you. Release them at once! Otherwise, my father will personally come to Uppercreek! By then, you’ll be done for!” Kelsey was not telling lies. This was indeed what his father had told him. If Philip did not release them, the chieftain would come to Uppercreek in person! By then, the entire city would be under martial law! In front of the chieftain of the branch family, even Philip would have to bow and pay his respects! Philip frowned when he heard this. With a face full of dissatisfaction, he pondered. Would the chieftain of the branch family come to Uppercreek in person? Se
The damned law enforcement hall had been colluding with the branch family! “How about it, Philip? I'm asking you once again, will you let them go?” Kelsey was floating on air right now. He was full of confidence. He had his father and the law enforcement hall behind him. No matter how powerful Philip was, he would not dare to openly oppose the joint order from the six elders of the law enforcement hall! Philip’s face was gloomy as he glanced at the arrogant Kelsey. Suddenly, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth as he said, “Kelsey, do you think that such a thing can make me toe the line?” After that, Philip crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it into a nearby trash can! Kelsey froze, completely unable to believe Philip’s audacity! “Insolence! That’s the joint order of the law enforcement hall. You actually dare to be so lawless and audacious! You’re openly opposing the law enforcement hall of the Clarke family! I have the right to take you down right now!”
