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
At this moment, Martin was chatting with a few friends in the living room of the villa. They were the directors of Beacon Group and also the co-initiators of this covert battle! Seeing Bernard barge in, Martin frowned and said to the people around him, “Excuse me for a moment.” After that, he got up and went to the small garden next to the villa with Bernard following closely behind. “Tell me what’s wrong. Why are you panicking like this? How indecent. Stop making a fool of yourself.” Martin scowled. They had overstepped their boundaries and put on shoes that were too big for their feet. They were already used to poverty but suddenly, this big enterprise fell right onto their laps. Furthermore, being in the position of chairman, many of their bad habits naturally had to be changed! This was why the Johnston brothers had spent so much money to repackage and rebrand themselves. Firstly, it was to satisfy their vanity. Secondly, it was to show everyone that they were not beggars
”Who’s there?!” Martin immediately yelled sharply. Swoosh! Instantly, more than a dozen thugs rushed out, closely protecting Martin and Bernard. With a sullen face, Martin went over and kicked the leader of the thugs, saying angrily, “Why the hell are you still standing here? Give chase!” “Yes, of course!” The thug in the lead waved his hand and shouted, “Follow me!” Once he saw that everyone had left, Martin cursed angrily, “Damn it, why did everyone leave? Don’t we need any protection? These people are a bunch of rubbish!” Immediately after, Martin waved his hand and returned to the living room angrily. When all the board members of the company saw Martin coming back with an unpleasant face, they all got up, looking a little frightened. Seeing this, Martin quickly put on a smile and said, “Don’t stand up, please remain seated. Everything’s fine. The house was burglarized but I already got people to check it out.” These board members could not be told that Philip
After Bernard left the steel mill, he headed directly to a club. Then, with the guidance of a dedicated attendant, he entered a dimly lit private room. This room was decorated in a medieval style and a faint fragrance lingered in the air. The sofa bed in the center was surrounded by translucent red curtains. He could see a woman wearing a black nightgown on the bed, lying on her side. Her figure was superb with a small waistline and a perky butt. After Bernard entered, he stood there respectfully, not daring to look at the woman on the bed who was slowly getting up. Her carefree posture would mesmerize any man. He lowered his head and saw her pair of fair jade-like feet walk up to him. He also got a stronger whiff of the fragrance on her. “What are you doing here?” The woman's voice was full of temptation, like the music of nature, which made Bernard’s body heat up. After saying this, the woman lay on the sofa with her legs tucked on her side. Her posture was seductive
The point of view shifted back to Philip’s side. When he returned to the hotel, Wynn was already anxiously pacing back and forth in the living room. Seeing that Philip had returned, she stepped forward anxiously and asked with worry, “How did things go? Have they been settled? What did Lynn say? What did Uncle Martin and Uncle Bernard say?” Philip helped Wynn sit down and comforted her, saying, “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of this matter. You should stay here and take good care of yourself and the baby. I’ll make a trip back to Riverdale tonight. I think there’ll be some troublesome matters to deal with.” Philip could already guess that the brothers, Martin and Bernard, had already laid down a trap in Riverdale. They were probably waiting for him. However, he was not afraid. “You want to go back to Riverdale? Alone? It’s too risky! Uncle Martin and Uncle Bernard won’t let you off! They even dare to make a move against me, their niece. They’ll have no qualms hurting you, my hu
Wynn looked at Philip very seriously with hope in her eyes. After so long, was Philip finally going to tell her the truth about himself? “Do you want to bring me back?” Wynn asked quietly, feeling a little nervous. If Philip really brought her back, what should she do? How should she face her father-in-law? Although Wynn had met her father-in-law a long time ago and he was also very easy-going, Wynn was still flustered. Moreover, Wynn was not very clear about what was going on in Philip’s family. Was the dispute between him and Giada over? Was it a fight over the family’s properties? Suddenly, many thoughts ran through Wynn’s mind. The more she thought about it, the more confused she got. Philip looked at Wynn's face and touched her tender cheeks. He could seemingly see through Wynn's tension and anxiety at this moment. He said softly, “Don't think too much about it. I’ll take care of everything. When the time comes, we’ll bring Mila with us and you just need to hap
