Philip just glanced at him without shaking hands and asked Lynn instead, “Your new boyfriend?” Toby’s hand froze in mid-air as he narrowed his eyes a little. He smiled awkwardly and withdrew his hand. Lynn, on the other hand, looked at Philip smugly and said, “Yes, how about it? My boyfriend is a band three lawyer with an annual salary of ten million dollars! He runs a law firm and is famous in Riverdale! He even has friends in Uppercreek!” When Lynn said this, her face could not contain her triumph like a child eager to show off her toys. Philip frowned and looked at Toby, who was still smiling faintly. However, Philip had caught the chill in his eyes just now. Hehe, he wanted to see what kind of a person this lawyer was. “Tell me why you asked me to meet up,” Philip asked as he settled into his seat naturally. Lynn tilted her head, looked in the direction of the door, and asked, “Why isn’t Wynn here?” “She’s not feeling well. I’m here on her behalf. You can talk to me
“Mr. Clarke, it's useless for you to intimidate Lynn. I hope you can consider this matter carefully and decide on the best course of action for Madam Wynn Johnston,” Toby said with a smile. In his eyes, Philip was nothing more than a dodgy little punk. Since just now, Toby thought he had Philip figured out. He was nothing to be afraid of! Philip smiled, looked at Toby with scorching eyes, and asked, “Where is the incriminating evidence you mentioned? My wife is a good law-abiding citizen. How could she have embezzled company funds? Don't frame her.” Toby already expected that Philip would ask this question. He took out another document, handed it to Philip, and said, “This is the bank transfer record. You can see it for yourself.” Philip frowned, took the document, and glanced at it. His expression instantly darkened. These records happened within two months, and each transaction was as large as millions and as small as tens of thousands. “Mr. Clarke, we won’t unjustly
Hearing this, Toby’s expression changed in an instant as his gaze turned grim. Bam! He slammed the table, got up, and pointed at Philip while roaring, “Are you trying to scare me? Are you saying that someone will come to arrest me? Hehe, you should know that I’m a band three lawyer. I have many friends in the Uppercreek law circle!” Philip chuckled. “Yeah, that sounds great, but I wonder if you can scrape through this. Since you said so, I'll tell you that in the next ten minutes, everything you have will all fall apart. Starting with you. Your law license will be revoked and your law firm will be investigated for shady business. Then, all those friends of yours will start to shun you. Finally, your reputation will be ruined.” Hahaha! Toby laughed aloud. With his face full of chills and a menacing smile at the corners of his mouth, he said, “Ridiculous! Do you think I’ll be afraid of you with just these few words of yours? You’re still too immature to destroy me! “I can tel
There was a brief silence on the line before a roar sounded. “Holton Law Firm? Let me tell you, Donald, even their founder has to be polite when he sees that person! That ignorant Little family actually dared to mess with him. They must be tired of living!” Click! The call disconnected! Donald was dumbfounded as his hand which held the phone shook. It was over. Something had happened! That person? Toby Little must have provoked someone! Without hesitation, Donald immediately dialed the phone number and said, “Organize a small team and conduct an investigation on Tobias Law Firm immediately! Remember, make it quick and keep it confidential!” After saying that, he immediately informed his assistant and said, “Immediately issue a notice to revoke Toby Little's law license.” “Yes, Mr. Jones.” The assistant was about to leave after speaking. “Wait!” Donald exclaimed. His face darkened as he said, “Notify the Little family and tell them about this matter.” Donald wanted
What? His law license had been revoked? Toby was stunned and rooted on the spot, the corners of his mouth trembling. “Mr. Jones, are you hungover? Do you know what you're talking about?” Toby frowned and asked coldly. What was this Donald Jones doing? However, Donald said on the other end of the line, “Toby, I’m not joking with you. After investigation, we’ve decided to revoke your law license. At the same time, your law firm will also be investigated. You should get ready. This time, it’s entirely up to you if you can weather this storm. I can’t help you.” When Toby heard this, his heart thumped. He asked anxiously, “Donald, tell me, is someone messing with me? Is it Godfrey Hart and his people?” Toby was annoyed! When something like this happened out of the blue, there was only one explanation—his rival had made a move against him! However... Donald said, “I’m not sure who it is exactly. I can only tell you that this time, the order was personally given by Mr. W
“Are you Toby Little? Your law firm has been seized and all documents and hard drives have been taken away by us. We’re officially issuing a warrant for your arrest.” Hearing this, the cold sweat on Toby’s body dripped! What? The company was being investigated? All the documents and hard disks were taken away? Oh no! He was in trouble now! All his secrets could not be kept under wraps now. Those documents and hard drives contained evidence of his corruption! At this point, Toby could no longer stay calm. His hand holding the phone also started to tremble violently! He fell back on the seat, his eyes staring ahead blankly. His body was shaking all over! He raised his head, stared at Philip, and roared, “Did you do all this?” How did this happen? Who the hell was he? How could he have such terrifying power? In just ten minutes, Philip had his law license revoked and even his company was being investigated! Philip chuckled, his eyes looking indifferent as he
“You! Very well! You’re very audacious! This is the first time I’ve heard such words. How dare you make a move against my Little family? Well done! I want to see how capable you are!” On the other end, William looked furious at the moment. He was standing in a magnificent hall surrounded by many well-dressed men and women, all elites in the domestic law industry. All of them were also guest contributors of the Little family. The Little family still had some weight in the legal world. After all, as a member of the Holton Law Firm, one of the four largest law firms in the country, they had a lot of resources. At this moment, they were surprised to see William hang up the phone in anger. “Patriarch Little, what's the situation? Why are you so angry? Someone dares to take action against the Little family?” the middle-aged man on the side asked. Hmph! William snorted coldly as he stood with his hands behind his back. The brows on his angular face furrowed suddenly as he said
Hearing this, Lynn’s body went weak. She looked at Philip incredulously, her red lips trembling slightly. She anxiously said, “What should we do, then? Toby, will we be arrested?” Toby chuckled and said, “It’s fine. My father will take care of it. This ignorant kid actually wants to make a move against my Little family. He’s just courting death!” Toby mocked inwardly. Lynn also took a breath and patted her chest, saying, “Toby, you really scared me there!” After that, she turned her head and stared fiercely at the nonchalant Philip while saying coldly, “Philip, did you hear what Toby said? Even if you rely on Wynn's previous connections to cause a little trouble for Toby, it won’t work. His family is not as simple as you think!” “Is that so?” Philip sneered, turned his face to look at Toby calmly, and said, “It’s useless even if your father or your Little family step forward because you don’t carry that much weight or have many qualifications yet. The Holton Law Firm? The R
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
