Master Eight was startled. Why did this voice sound so familiar? He turned his head and saw a middle-aged man with his hair combed back jogging over while glaring at him coldly. It was one of the three lords of Uppercreek, Victor Bell! Master Eight immediately began sweating and lost all his arrogance from before! Although he was known as one of the four underground kings of Uppercreek, he knew full well that he and Victor were not on the same level at all. Master Eight was simply a boss on the streets and made a living through gang activities without much of a background. He just relied on his seniority and a large number of underlings. As for Victor Bell, he had a huge background and owned countless businesses in Uppercreek. His wealth and power made him reign at the top of Uppercreek’s underground forces. In front of Victor, Master Eight was no more than a minion. “M-Master Bell, what brings you here?” Master Eight was a little flustered, wondering if the boss behi
Before Victor finished speaking, Philip quickly grabbed Victor and pointed behind him. Since just now, the sounds of fighting had ceased. Wynn had already rolled down the car window slightly, peeking out to check the situation. Victor quickly changed his tone when he noticed that. “Oh, he’s a relative of Hoyt Luther, the director of the Uppercreek Chamber of Commerce! How dare you stop his car! Are you tired of living?” Hearing that, Master Eight was shocked. Master Eight was already in his 50s and had always held an average position among the underground forces in Uppercreek. In terms of seniority, he was considered a veteran with many underlings. However, in terms of power, he was far beneath Victor. The biggest reason was that he did not have a background in business. Now, this person he had surrounded was a relative of the director of the chamber of commerce, Hoyt Luther! No wonder Victor thought so highly of him! If Master Eight knew that Philip was in fact the
The elegant woman sitting on the sofa smiled as she looked at Wynn and nodded. Then, she turned her gaze to Philip and said with a smile, “Phil, don’t you want to introduce your fourth mother?” Only then did Philip smile and help Wynn sit down. He said, “Wynnie, this is my fourth mother.” Fourth mother? Wynn was startled as her eyes doubtfully fell on Philip as she asked, “Father-in-law’s fourth love—” Philip quickly cut her off and made eyes at her. The graceful woman chuckled and said, “It’s okay, Phil. What Wynnie said is true.” Wynn realized her slip of the tongue and quickly laughed to cover her embarrassment while saying, “Sorry, Fourth Mother.” The woman smiled and took a delicate small gift box from the bodyguard behind her with her jade-like hands. She handed it to Wynn with a smile and said, “It’s our first meeting and I don’t know what you like, so I just prepared a random gift for you. I hope you don’t mind.” She laughed and joked, the smile on her face look
Philip leisurely took a sip of tea and said, “What did my dad say?” “What can he say? He avoided the confrontation all three times, which means you need to solve it yourself,” Hazel said and grumbled a little, “I wonder what your dad is thinking. How can you solve such a big matter by yourself? That’s the chieftain of the branch family. He represents the entire branch family.” When Hazel said this, she was expressing her worries for Philip. Philip chuckled and said, “Fourth Mother, do you trust me and my dad?” Hazel was taken aback and said, “Of course, how could I not trust the two of you?” “In that case, you can keep your worries to yourself. I know what I'm doing. If the branch family dares to cross the line, the ending that awaits them won’t be pleasant,” Philip said flatly. “But what if the chieftain of the branch family makes a move against you and your dad?” Hazel asked worriedly. Philip got up, put his arms behind his back, and stood in front of the large French w
Wynn raised her eyebrows, looked at Philip, and said with a faint smile, “No. If you want to tell me, I’m willing to listen. If you don't want to, then don't. I'll wait for the day you're willing to tell me.” Philip was taken aback. He looked at Wynn and watched as she played with Mila with her bulging stomach. A strong feeling suddenly surged in his heart. He walked over, hugged Wynn from behind, and leaned on her shoulder while saying, “Wynnie, one day you’ll know that your husband is not a wastrel. On that day, you’ll be the happiest woman in the world. This is what I promise you.” Wynn smiled, her small fair hand grasping Philip's big hand. She said tenderly, “I know. All along, I’ve known in my heart you’re not what they say. I’ve been waiting, hoping that this day will come soon. In fact, even if you’re really worthless, you’re still my husband and Mila’s father, do you understand?” Philip nodded and said, “I understand.” After being intimate for a while, Philip took Wy
Charles tried to interrupt several times but was stopped by Martha’s glare. “Mom, that’s enough! What nonsense are you talking about?” Wynn got anxious. She glared at Martha before looking at Philip and said, “Philip, I’m sorry. My mother…” Philip smiled, shook his head helplessly, and said, “It’s fine.” After that, he said to Wynn, “I think it's better to let them know about some things.” Wynn was startled and fell silent. Her expression seemed torn with hesitation. Charles and Martha panicked when they heard their words and saw their actions. “Wynnie, what is it? What are you hiding from me? Tell us.” Martha was anxious. She could tell that Wynn was keeping something from her. After thinking for a long time, Wynn said with hesitation, “Mom, don't get too angry when I tell you.” “Okay, fine, just tell me quickly.” Martha was flustered now. Wynn looked at her father and said, “Dad, Uncle Martin and Uncle Bernard embezzled Beacon and even charged me with a false accu
Upon hearing this, Charles and Martha fell silent. Philip had made it clear enough. If Martin and Bernard really did something illegal, Philip would not let them off the hook. After much hesitation, Charles asked, “Can you not take it to the extreme? After all, they’re my second and third brothers. They’re Wynn’s uncles.” Philip thought about it and replied, “Dad, what if they had tried to send Wynn to prison and wanted to kill the two of you?” Martha immediately panicked at his words and shouted, “Philip, in that case, be tough on them! Take things to the extreme!” Martha did not wish to die. Charles was very surprised and hurt that his brothers would backstab him. Charles shook his head, got up helplessly, and left the room. Wynn looked at Charles’ departing back and felt very sad. She suddenly thought that her father had aged a lot at that moment. “Philip, if possible, I still hope that you won’t be too tough on my uncles.” Wynn raised her eyebrows and looked at Ph
Very well. This woman turned out to be Ruby Ford. What was she doing in Uppercreek? “Damn it! I was wondering who it was. I didn't think it was you, the wimp!” Ruby’s expression was full of displeasure as she patted the dust off her hips unhappily. Philip only chuckled and stood aside awkwardly. “I didn’t expect that after such a long time, you’re still such a loser. What are you doing here?” Ruby looked at Philip smugly while sizing him up. F*ck! Ruby felt very upset at the thought of the embarrassing scene in front of Philip back then. Later, after much inquiry, she learned that Philip’s family was rich but she also heard that they had gone bankrupt! He was still a loser! “Nothing, I'm just here to take a look,” Philip replied. “Take a look? At what?” Ruby’s pretty face darkened. Then, when something came to mind, her jaw dropped as she asked with disdain, “I see. Is it because your Clarke Group has gone bankrupt and Beacon has also been taken over by your uncle
