“William, what’s the matter? What’s with the urgency? Don’t keep calling me for every small matter. How many times have I wiped your *ss for you? Don’t you know that this is a critical time and many people are keeping an eye on me? You’ll get me in trouble sooner or later!” A disgruntled voice came from the other end of the phone, carrying an air of fury. An ordinary person would be angry after hearing those accusations. However, William Little, the patriarch of the Little family and a former member of the Holton Law firm, was not angry at all. Instead, he smiled flatteringly and said, “Sire, don’t be angry. I’m just facing a little trouble here and want to ask for your help. Rest assured, the terms are the same and I won’t pay a single cent less.” Luke Tucker, William Little’s patron. The Little family would not have been able to get to their position today if not for Luke’s help. Of course, the Little family contributed greatly to Luke on an annual basis. However, durin
Meanwhile, Toby stood in Philip’s path, his face looking smug as he said, “Philip, you’re too arrogant. When my dad arrives later, you won’t be able to escape. Why don’t we do this? You can go down on your knees and apologize to me before signing the document on your wife’s behalf. If you do that, I’ll let you go without pursuing this matter. However, if you still insist on fighting to the end with me, then I’m sorry, but you’ll end up miserably today! I’ll also send your wife to jail!” Toby lost his patience. He did not expect this little matter to cause so much trouble for him. This Philip Clarke had some means. However, they were just some petty tricks. Besides, Philip was also relying on his wife’s connections. He was a kept man through and through! However, Philip looked at Toby calmly and said, “What’s the hurry? Your dad is on his way here. If I’m guessing correctly, he must have contacted someone.” “My dad? Oh, do you really think he’ll come over? Why does my dad ne
William blamed himself for pampering his son too much and allowing him to run rampant. If this matter could not be resolved today, the Little family might really suffer. He wondered what the outcome of Sire’s communication was. Toby felt extremely embarrassed at this moment. His father actually slapped him in front of outsiders, which made him feel very humiliated! Thus, he glared at Philip with resentment and said angrily, “What the hell did you do? Why did my dad come over?” Philip chuckled. William was extremely furious and slapped him again while chastising, “Toby, shut the hell up! How dare you talk to Mr. Clarke that way? Do you know that I’ve been removed from the Holton Law Firm? I’m just an ordinary lawyer now. Whether I can get through this difficult situation depends on Mr. Clarke, so you need to apologize to him at once! Also, what stupid thing did you do to make Mr. Clarke so angry?” Toby was dumbfounded! His dad had been removed from Holton Law Firm? How
Since young, he had had his fair share of being beaten by William like this. It had left a shadow in his heart. William belted him several times before turning around and squeezing out a smile. He did not even dare to wipe the cold sweat off his forehead and spoke to Philip, “Mr. Clarke, I’m sorry. My son is ignorant and has offended your wife. Why don’t I get him to apologize to your wife?” “Why are you lying down and pretending to be dead? Quickly get up and apologize to Mr. Clarke!” William yelled at the howling Toby. A dumbfounded Toby was dragged up by William to apologize to Philip. However, Philip said, “Patriarch Little, you may have misunderstood something. I never promised to let him go. Of course, I didn't promise to spare the Little family either. Besides, your son was quite adamant about sending my wife to jail just now. He even wanted me to kneel and apologize to him.” Hearing this, William’s mouth twitched as his eyes flashed with a chill. His fists were clench
William's face changed as the muscles at the corner of his eyes twitched. He clenched his fists, the corners of his eyes going cold. This Philip Clarke was too aggressive. William gritted his teeth and said coldly, “Mr. Clarke, you should be more forgiving. There’s no need to push things to the extreme. It’s good to leave others a way out.” However, Philip did not speak and just watched quietly. Seeing the look on Philip’s face, William could no longer control himself and shouted angrily, “Philip, don’t be such a tyrant! I’m the head of the Little family, after all. Even if you’ve used some tactics to remove me from the Holton Law Firm, do you really think I’ll be afraid of you? The connections I have are not fewer than yours, so don’t push your luck! If you know what’s good for you, you should let this matter end here. I’ll not hold you accountable for today's incident. Otherwise, I vow to send you to jail!” William was really furious! He had humbled himself and pleaded fo
Luke Tucker, who was on the other end of the phone, was so frightened after hearing these names that he fell limp onto the chair. His eyes revealed his panicked state while the cold sweat on his forehead poured like a waterfall! How could this happen? Could it be that someone had leaked the information? These were the names of the people he had secretly supported to make money for him! There was no wrong name on the list! He had been supporting these people for many years and this matter had been kept under tight wraps. However, it was now being exposed by a stranger with no background. Luke was flabbergasted! Who on earth was the other party and how did he find out everything about him in such a short time? What a terrifying force this man must be! “Mr. Clarke, I think there may be a misunderstanding between us.” Luke was completely panic-stricken. His legs were shaking and he quickly pleaded, “Let’s do this, Mr. Clarke. I won’t interfere in the Little family’s affai
Lynn Johnston was very scared and whimpered, “Brother-in-law, I was wrong. Don’t hit me. I’m scared.” Lynn was panicking now. She never imagined that Philip was so powerful! In such a short time, not only did he get Toby’s license revoked but also his father’s membership revoked! He even got them arrested! His methods were simply too terrifying! Lynn had never heard of such means. All along, she thought Philip was just a loser who relied on Wynn. He was supposed to be a kept husband. However, everything that happened today made her panic. Philip Clarke was not at all what he appeared to be! It was too frightening! “Lynn, pass my message along. I’ll return to Riverdale in the evening. Tell the two uncles to get ready and welcome me.” Philip said coldly as his eyes surged with intense anger! Martin Johnston and Bernard Johnston—these two people were simply looking for death! Did they really think he dared not make a move against them? Lynn whimpered and nodded
Hearing this, Bernard was anxious and quickly asked, “One sentence? What did he say?” Lynn shuddered and replied, “He said that in this world, there’s no one that he, Philip Clarke, can't afford to mess with—not even the Little family. They can only wait for their destruction.” Hiss! On the other end of the phone, Bernard gasped as his back was immediately drenched in a cold sweat. Why was this guy so arrogant? No one in the world could mess with him? Too presumptuous! After a moment of silence, Lynn's voice was heard over the phone. She sounded very anxious and worried as she asked, “Dad, what should we do? Toby has been arrested and the Little family is gone now. Will we be arrested too? Will Philip come after us?” Bernard’s face went dark. He was no longer a man of an ordinary household, working hard every day just for his daily bread and butter. Now, he was on the board of directors of Beacon Group. He had money and status. Every day, he went in and out of opule
