After two minutes of silence, Charles could not help asking, “I heard you went to the mall just now?” Wynn nodded and responded, “Yeah, I went out for a walk. It's boring to stay inside all the time.” “Yes, it's good to go for a walk.” Charles nodded and drank a cup of tea. They fell into an awkward silence again. Wynn looked at Charles and saw that his face seemed full of thoughts. She said with a smile, “Dad, what exactly did you want to see me about? If there’s anything, just say it. I'm your daughter. There’s no need to hide things from me.” When Charles heard the word ‘daughter’, it touched him greatly. After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and said, “Wynnie, how do you think your mother and I have been treating you?” Wynn was startled, not expecting her father to ask such a question so abruptly. She smiled, took Charles’ slightly rough hand, and said, “Dad, what are you talking about? The two of you are my parents. Of course, you’ve been good to me. Although
Suddenly! Charles shouted coldly, “Enough! What are you saying in front of our daughter? What are you trying to do?” Charles was furious. Martha almost had a slip of her tongue and let the cat out of the bag. She was taken aback as well. Realizing that she had almost said something she should not have, she quickly said in a huff, “I don't care. When I recover from my injury, I’ll make you divorce Philip!” Wynn was also powerless and just said, “Okay, please leave now. I want to rest.” Only then did Charles glare at Martha and push her wheelchair out. In the other suite, Charles was furious and cursed, “Just look at you! Weren’t you the one who told me not to say anything earlier? Look at what you just did? You almost let it out!” Charles was so angry that he slapped the back of his hands. Martha sat in the wheelchair in annoyance and grumbled, “I didn't mean to. If you hadn’t mentioned it to me in the first place, I wouldn’t have almost said it.” Charles was helpless.
Crash, bang, boom! Shane smashed the front desk angrily, causing the attendants to scream in fright. After a bout of wrecking, Shane adjusted his suit and took out the photo again. He grabbed the hair of a squatting female attendant and asked harshly, “Tell me which room she’s staying in!” The female attendant shuddered in fear and stammered, “No... I-I don’t know.” “Don’t know? Interesting.” Shane smiled and kicked the female attendant away. Then, he picked up the golf club and walked to her one step at a time. He pointed the club at her head and said coldly, “I’m asking you again which room she’s in. If you don’t tell me, your pretty face will be ruined.” The female attendant was scared out of her wits. Looking at the burly guys standing behind Shane, she swallowed and said tremblingly, “Room… 1808.” Shane smiled, dropped the club in his hand, and leaned down to pat the female attendant's cheek. He said with a smile, “Well done, that’s more like it. Thanks.” After th
When Heath heard the other party's words, he frowned and his face went grim. Someone dared to speak to him like this! He must be tired of living! “How dare you act so recklessly in my territory?! Men, take them down!” Heath roared. If he did not take down this group of people, how could he face Master Bell and Young Master Clarke in the future? However, Shane only glanced indifferently at Heath before he rushed out under the protection of his guards! This happened in a matter of minutes. The dozens of people were unable to stop these three or four people. Heath looked at the car that was speeding away and flew into a rage. He pointed at the group of men behind him and shouted, “Trash! All of you are rubbish! You can’t even catch one guy!” However, he was also full of worries. These people had good skills and must have an extraordinary background. Heath quickly went upstairs to check on Wynn’s safety before calling Master Bell to inform him about this matter, asking
The corner of Philip’s eyes froze as he punched Lou in the face and kicked him in the waist. The other party flew back and crashed to the ground. “Lou, are you alright?” Several hooligans quickly gathered around Lou, helping him up from the ground. It was too sudden! Lou’s two front teeth had been knocked out by that punch, his mouth and nose full of blood. “Damn it! What are you waiting for? Kill him for me!” Lou covered his face. It was so painful that he could not straighten his back. Lou Webb had never been so humiliated before. He was beaten up while in the hands of such an ordinary young man, damn it! Was he not a loser? How could he fight with such skills? With a scowl on his face, Philip’s cold intent radiated from him as he raged wantonly at the entrance of this building. “It’s your fault for making the first move!” A furious shout! Philip quickly rushed out, grabbed the parking attendant’s stool at the side, and smashed it over the head of one of the
Since the last time she was humiliated by Philip during the engagement banquet with Howard Lowe, Ruby had held a grudge against Philip. She had always wanted to seek revenge on him. As she had met him by chance today, the hatred buried in Ruby’s heart sprouted again! “Ruby, is this really that wimp Philip Clarke you told us about?” “This man is too powerful, isn’t he?” “So what? He beat up Lou Webb, the younger brother of Dru Webb! He’s done for!” Several of Ruby’s best friends looked at Philip with shocked expressions. Ruby had done her best to discredit Philip in front of them. “Dru Webb? In that case, Philip is doomed! The Webb brothers have a notorious reputation around here!” Ruby frowned and secretly took out her phone to take a picture of Philip at this time. At this moment, Philip flexed his arm with a cold chill on his face. Who the hell dared to take his legs? Without another word, Philip rushed to Lou and raised his leg, stomping it on Lou’s stomach. Th
Everyone was stunned. Unexpectedly, the young man in front of them was so reckless and did not know what was good for him! This guy was Dru Webb, a famous figure in these streets. He had people, money, and power. At this moment, the crowd was busy discussing. “I'm telling you, he’s done for. After messing with the two Webb brothers, even ten lives won’t be enough to save him.” “He's really too arrogant. Does he really think he can face a dozen people on his own?” “He’s just a rash young man. He's gone and done it now. He’ll definitely get beaten up and end up a fool!” Ruby blinked and frowned helplessly. Philip was really too foolhardy. To challenge Dru Webb was simply looking for death. It was good to let Philip suffer a little so that he would know the gap between him and others. With that thought, Ruby’s eyes revealed strong disdain and spite, as well as gloating. When Dru heard Philip’s words, he was startled. He sneered menacingly and said, “Very well, you’
“What mistake?” Dru frowned. “Kid, are you trying to buy time? Well then, I'd like to hear what mistakes I’ve made.” Dru was not in a hurry. He sneered, unconcerned. How could a loser like Philip pose a threat to him? “Actually, this isn't your territory but mine,” Philip said calmly as his searing gaze fixed on Dru. This company, along with this building, belonged to him. Naturally, this territory also belonged to him. Dru was taken aback before he raised his head and laughed, saying, “Oh boy, you’re really such a prat! What did you just say? This is your territory? Where the hell did you get the confidence to brag like this?” This kid was really interesting to have the guts to brag in front of so many people. What did he mean this was his territory? Was he saying that he owned the number one food delivery company in Riverdale? Ridiculous! What a joke! Philip shook his head, a faint smile appearing on his lips. This Dru Webb was about to die and he still had
“I think she’s right. You have no right to despise her for being ugly! If you have the ability to cure the groom’s disease, you can marry into a wealthy family too! You’re a loser for putting her down because of her looks!” Ronan’s sudden interruption surprised the bride. She never thought that someone would speak up for her in this situation. “Enough with this fiasco. Hurry up and end it!” Lazlo frowned and glanced at the people next to him. He had replaced the useless guards earlier. These people were carefully selected experts. The experts quickly flagged Ronan as a troublemaker and wanted to throw him out. “Let’s call off the wedding for the time being. We didn’t think it through carefully. We’ll decide after careful consideration. Please excuse us,” Lazlo said calmly but he was fuming inside. He knew that this was a disgrace to the family. He had never thought a woman could play him out like that. Lazlo glared daggers at Celeste in front of him. 'I wouldn’t have be
By right, everyone should respect Lazlo, but these people simply wanted to humiliate him instead. Lazlo always took advantage of them during their business dealings, so they wanted to teach him a lesson. For the sake of his dignity, Lazlo could not lose his temper either. “Hehe, the bride is coming!” Lazlo gritted his teeth and asked someone to bring the bride out. Everyone looked around eagerly, waiting to see what this legendary woman looked like. The bride wore a veil on her face, and no one could see her appearance clearly. “The bride is bound by the rules of her race, so she’s not allowed to show her face in public, but you can tell from her figure that she's indeed very beautiful. My daughter-in-law is not to be underestimated!” Lazlo laughed. It was the only option he could think of. Some nosy people created a gust of wind that blew the veil away. Very soon, the woman’s ugly face was revealed to the public. Everyone was dumbfounded by the scene. They gulped nervous
“But she’d be very attractive if she covered her face.” Her figure was very good, but her face was scary. Anyone who saw that face would probably be haunted by nightmares. Philip was curious. The woman could cure the groom’s disease, which proved that she had that ability. In that case, why was she in such a hurry to marry? With an ability like that, she could easily survive on her own. “She caught me red-handed peeking at her. Although it was embarrassing, she was very gentle and didn’t say anything. It’s a pity that I can’t deal with that appearance!” Ronan said awkwardly, ashamed at the thought of being caught red-handed. Philip rolled his eyes helplessly. He was no longer in the mood to watch the fun. Staying there was just a waste of time. He would rather leave. He was not interested in the free meal. Suddenly, they smelled a strange fragrance. Ronan frowned and rubbed his nose. The smell made him feel uncomfortable. “Someone is poisoning us,” Philip said calmly.
Lazlo knew that he would be doomed if he fell into Philip's hands. He decided to run away in a panic, but it did not mean he was going to give up. Celeste was his only hope to regain his dignity, and he would never let her off. “Keep a close eye on the situation. It’s best if you can knock Celeste out and bring her to me,” Lazlo ordered his men before he left. Since his men could not do it openly, they had to resort to some underhanded tricks. Lazlo had more than a team of guards under his command. Although the captain of the guards was no match for Philip, it did not mean that Lazlo was out of options. He had to solve this problem at all costs. Philip had no choice but to take Celeste away. Who knew they would encounter such a mess? “I never knew I was so charming that the guy wants me to marry his son,” Celeste said ironically. To think that something like this would happen to her. The people of her race were so valuable that they could not marry just anyone, let alone
The guards laughed. “No way, does he think he can handle us?” Everyone mocked Philip and did not take him seriously. So what if Philip had powerful abilities? They could easily overwhelm him with numbers. Everyone laughed as they surrounded Philip, and Lazlo smiled smugly. He rarely took action in such things. He simply watched the fun to appease his anger. “Just accept your fate. An ordinary man like you can't possibly fight us,” Lazlo taunted Philip, confident that he had nowhere to escape. When Lazlo was about to capture Celeste, he saw someone flying out. He thought his men had taken action and was surprised by their newfound power. Before he could do anything, he heard wails of agony. “Ouch, it hurts!” “This is too much. You broke my leg!” “Why is this man so powerful? He can fight us all by himself!” When Lazlo heard the screams clearly, he scowled darkly. “What's going on? Are my guards defeated?” he said in horror. Lazlo looked over and saw his guards ly
“It’s your honor that our family has taken a fancy to you. Stop resisting. Do you think I don’t know what you’re thinking? You must be trying to gain more benefits. As long as you agree to this marriage, I promise that you’ll lead a good life, much better than what you have now!” Lazlo looked at Celeste condescendingly, seeing her as a gold digger. “You’re sick.” Celeste was dumbfounded. Celeste pulled Philip and wanted to leave, but Lazlo had no intention of letting them go. He had finally found a beautiful woman to solve the problem for him. How could he let her go? He had looked around earlier but had not seen anyone as beautiful as Celeste. It would be a privilege to bring a beautiful woman like Celeste out. If Celeste was willing to cooperate, he could hold his head high in front of many people. Thinking of this, he summoned the family's guards. “Hurry up and capture them. Even if you refuse, you have to do it!” Lazlo laughed at this point. “Young lady, you'd better li
Philip winked at Ronan, signaling him to wait while he went in with Celeste to see what was going on. “In that case, my brother and I will see what’s going on,” Celeste said with a sigh. She just wanted to watch the fun. Why was she involved all of a sudden? Philip and Celeste walked in, and Lazlo was surprised to see someone else. However, a look of realization crossed his face after his servant introduced Philip’s identity. “Yes, I was too hasty about this. We should discuss this matter with the family.” He quickly invited everyone inside. After taking a closer look at Celeste's appearance, he nodded with satisfaction. Sure enough, this woman was very beautiful and perfect from every angle. She was the best choice for his son. To be frank, even Lazlo was attracted to her. “My son is getting married today, but his bride is very ugly, so I want to use you in place of the bride. After this, you can become my son's concubine,” Lazlo said condescendingly as if Celeste should
At this moment, Celeste looked no different from normal people, and her face was more stunning, capturing everyone’s attention with one glance. Lazlo was excited to see her and knew that she was the woman he had been looking for. Indeed, the bride was very ugly and had a strange appearance. He would never have agreed to the marriage if the woman had not saved his son's life. His son had been seriously ill and bedridden for a long time, almost on the verge of dying. To save his son, he promised that anyone who could save his son could make a request. This woman saved his son and requested to marry into the Cohen family. Although reluctant, big families attached great importance to promises. If they went against their conscience and broke the promise, it would greatly impact their subsequent practice. Hence, Lazlo had no choice but to agree to their marriage. However, to prevent people from talking behind their backs, he appointed some dedicated maids to take care of the ugly
Ronan grabbed the others in fright so that they could stay together. Ronan was a strong guy, after all. With his protection, the others would not be separated by the crowd. Philip looked at this scene and asked the onlookers curiously, “What’s going on? What’s the occasion? Is it a celebration?” Philip had a smile on his face. He thought the atmosphere was quite interesting as if someone was having a celebration. “Don’t you know? It’s the wedding day of the young heir of the Cohen family. I heard that they’ll be serving free spiritual beast meat during the feast. Whether it’s true or not, we want to join the fun. It’s great if the news is true.” “Young man, you must be a visitor from out of town. You’re in luck!” Everyone smiled and walked along excitedly, hoping to spread happiness. Since it was a happy occasion, Philip took the others to join in the fun. As expected, it was very crowded, and everyone sat happily while waiting for the feast to begin. They looked at a lux
