The expressions on Martin and Bernard changed when they heard the word ‘condition’ being mentioned. Martin forced a smile and said, “Madam Wallis, please don’t make things difficult for us. We really can’t agree to your terms. This is a deal that abandons family kinship and I dare not do it.” Giada smiled lightly and gently put the cup on the coffee table. Then, she got up and said to Vivian behind her, “Send the guests away.” “Yes, Madam.” Vivian nodded coldly in response, turned her gaze to Martin and Bernard, and said with a gesture, “May I ask the two of you to leave.” Bernard was so anxious that he hurriedly tugged on his second brother's arm and muttered in a low voice, “Martin, let’s just agree to Madam Wallis. We can hardly protect ourselves in the current situation.” Martin looked like he was in a dilemma as he struggled inwardly. Seeing that Giada was about to leave, Martin quickly said in a loud voice, “Very well, Madam Wallis, we agree. We also hope that you’l
“Why are you looking for me?” Philip asked solemnly. Vivian took off her wide sunglasses and said directly, “Madam told me to tell you that Martin and Bernard are Madam’s people. She hopes you won’t make things too difficult for them. Moreover, from today onward, the two of them will have no connection to Beacon Group.” After saying that, Vivian turned around and wanted to leave. Philip raised his eyebrows and made a sudden movement to grab Vivian’s arm with one hand. Vivian frowned, turned around, and raised her leg high to kick Philip’s neck! Philip stepped sideways and dodged the kick. “Young Master Clarke, please watch yourself!” Vivian coldly said while turning back around, swaying her hips as she got into the car and left. Philip chuckled and said, “How extraordinary. I haven't seen her so powerful before. I didn’t expect that she would improve so quickly after not seeing her for so long.” Theo had been standing behind Philip and was shocked when he saw Philip sud
The guards of Cirrus Villa had surrounded Philip and 17 at this moment, their faces looking grim. It seemed that if Philip were to make any aggressive movements, they would swarm over and take him down! “Young Master Clarke, this is Cirrus Villa, not Arcadia Island. Here, only Madam has the final say.” At this time, the captain of the guards walked out from behind the crowd while dressed in a black suit. He had a burly figure, a tough face, and tanned skin. Philip raised his eyebrows and looked over. The corners of his mouth formed a small smile as he said, “If I want to go in, are you going to stop me?” The captain’s face darkened and he replied, “Madam has given an order that she won’t be meeting any guests today no matter who shows up. I hope you won’t give us a hard time, Young Master Clarke.” “Is that so? From what you’re saying, are you going to make a move against me?” Philip’s face darkened as he took a step forward and stood directly in front of that captain. Spa
Bam! As a result, Philip’s kick was faster than the opponent's and landed squarely on the captain’s stomach. The latter flew back, knocked over several people behind him, and fell heavily to the ground! “I’m not killing you because you’re doing your duty! Now, I'm warning you once more, get out of my way!” Philip was furious. Cold intent and sparks were bursting out of his eyes! He wanted to go in and ask Giada what she intended to do. Was she involved in Martin Johnston’s incident? If so, Philip would definitely not let her go! The captain who fell to the ground stood up with the help of his men, wiped the blood that spilled from the corner of his mouth, and shouted sullenly, “Young Master Clarke, you can't get through today! Take him down!” At that furious shout, dozens of heavily armed guards from all around rushed toward Philip. However, Philip just flicked a glance around while 17, who was next to him, suddenly struck out with vicious movements and at lightning s
There was no decorative playacting, they were all ruthless deadly moves! Just a little inattention and one would be killed! In just half a minute, 17 and Vivian had already exchanged a dozen blows! Bam! Suddenly, 17 kicked Vivian squarely in the chest, causing the latter to take several steps back! Philip could not help but feel a pain in his chest when he watched this. Such delicate-looking women, how could they be so brutal in a fight? He thought it would last for a while, but the next second, the winner was already determined! The butterfly blades in 17’s hands were pressed directly on Vivian’s fair and delicate neck. She said proudly, “Hmph, the young master said that your skills aren’t bad, but I think they're just so-so.” “You!” Vivian’s eyes widened in anger as she clenched her fists, seemingly unconvinced. Right then, Philip calmly walked over and looked at Vivian, saying, “Miss Vivian, can you take me to see Giada now?” Vivian snorted furiously, turned ar
Thump, thump, thump! In an instant, dozens of heavily armed combatants rushed out of the hall. They were all ready to fight and were staring at Philip intently. It was just that the weapons in their hands were pointed downward. The corners of Philip's eyes froze. He stared at Vivian before glancing around, laughing as he said, “Why? Do you want to make a move against me first?” Giada put the teacup down, keeping her eyes on 17 who was next to Philip. The little girl seemed unconcerned with what was happening in front of her. It was as though in her eyes, these people were just toys. “That’s enough. Back down. Why is it so difficult for me to talk to my son?” Giada said at this moment. With a smile blooming in her eyes, she looked at Philip tenderly and lovingly, saying, “Philip, you can be considered my half-son. Why can’t we sit down and talk?” Hearing that, Philip’s face went cold as he shouted, “I only have one mother. You’re unworthy!” Giada nodded and said with
Philip left Cirrus Villa and headed back to First Palace. It was getting late, and Riverdale was not peaceful tonight. Theo had arranged for people to monitor all of Riverdale. Theo had arranged for people to keep a close watch on those directors who were involved in the incident with Beacon this time, in case they would be of use to Philip. After Philip returned to First Palace, Theo hurried over and said, “Mr. Clarke, Martin and Bernard have privately contacted several members of Beacon’s board of directors for a secret private meeting in the Hyatt Hotel. Do you want to go over and take a look?” Philip frowned and asked, “A secret meeting? Have you found out who’s attending?” Theo quickly and respectfully handed the information of the people he had looked into to Philip and said, “It’s all here. These are all the investors who invested in Beacon at the beginning. They’re also members of the company's board of directors. However, after investigating their financial transacti
Hiss! The atmosphere in the small conference room became extremely somber all of a sudden. “Why is he back all of a sudden? Did you detain him?” Mr. Jenkins from earlier asked nervously at this moment. Another person also followed and asked, “He’d better not ruin our plan at this juncture or all our efforts will be wasted.” “What exactly is the situation, Mr. Johnston? Quickly tell us.” Martin nodded and said, “According to our plan, our people would detain him and Wynn as long as they appeared. But now there are some problems. Philip is not as simple as we thought. Even Webster Shaw has been arrested because of him. Moreover, according to the information I received, Theo Zander is also working for Philip—most likely for Wynn. He came back this time and brought a lot of people with him. Theo also arrived in Riverdale not long ago and helped Philip resolve the crisis. Hence, our operation has failed this time.” After Martin finished speaking, the entire conference room fell
