”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
Hearing this, Martha became even more anxious and said angrily, “Old man, what do you mean by that? Do you think he still dares to hit me? If he dares to hit me again, I’ll get Wynnie to divorce him! This loser doesn’t respect me as his mother-in-law at all!” “Divorce? Do you really think Wynn will divorce him now? The baby in her belly will be born in a few months.” Charles sighed. “Why not? Do you think our family can’t survive without Philip?” Martha retorted furiously, “I’m telling you, Charles Johnston, put away your thoughts of flattering him. Philip only has a bit of money now and knows some people. If you really compare him to those people outside, he’s still far from them!” Martha was very clear about who Philip was. Even if he became a king one day, Martha would still despise this piece of trash! Hearing these words, Charles shook his head helplessly and continued to read his newspaper. This crazy woman was really getting more and more unreasonable. It was a
The investor behind Beacon Group? Martha was taken aback as she mumbled inwardly. ‘What does Philip mean by that?’ Was it possible that the investor behind Beacon Group had something to do with him? “What do you mean? If you have something to say, just say it. Don’t beat around the bush,” Martha said with a skeptical look in her eyes as she observed Philip. Philip chuckled and said, “I transferred all the funds of Milanelson Angel Investment Group to Beacon. Once Beacon suffers any major financial disruption, the funds will immediately be injected. If you wanted to look into me, why didn’t you get someone to investigate this? It’s such a pity. Maybe you could have found something.” Philip really had to take his hat off to Martha for going to such an extent. The reason she checked up on him was all because of money. When Martha heard Philip’s words, her heart thumped. He had transferred the funds of Milanelson Investment Group? It was all under Beacon’s name? Philip
Victor Bell stepped forward, glanced at the dozen or so hooligans in front of him grimly, and shouted, “Who sent you here? If you tell me, I’ll let you go!” Victor was angry. Those who dared to stop Philip’s car were simply looking for death! The man in the lead chuckled and said, “Oh, are you impersonating street punks by bringing so many henchmen with you? If you had asked around, you would’ve found out that this territory belongs to me, Marvin! “Also, who the hell are you? Is there someone like you in Riverdale? How come I’ve never seen you before?” The man continued mocking as he jabbed the baseball bat in his hand directly on Victor’s chest. His attitude was extremely pompous. Victor lowered his eyebrows and looked at the baseball bat on his chest. The corners of his mouth twitched as cold intent appeared on his face. When had Victor Bell, one of the three major underground forces in Uppercreek, ever been provoked like this? “Do it! Beat them up until they tell us
Bernard hurried back to First Palace, yelling as he entered the door, “Martin, something has happened!” Martin was drinking coffee and reading the newspaper at this time. Seeing Bernard rushing back in a fluster, his eyes were filled with displeasure as he asked, “Why are you panicking like this?” Martin had learned to maintain his composure by now so that he would suit his image as the chairman of Beacon Group. Seeing that flustered look on his third brother, he was naturally displeased. Even after getting rich, this younger brother of his still could not get rid of those bad habits. Bernard panted and said, “That, that Philip Clarke…” Upon hearing this, Martin was overjoyed. He abruptly stood up with a face full of excitement and said, “How did it go? Have you captured him? Let’s go! Take me there!” Bernard did not move. He waved his hand and said, “No, we didn’t catch him.” “You didn’t? What happened? Didn’t you hire many ruffians? Why couldn’t you even catch Philip
