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
Ruby was stunned and looked at Philip incredulously. A second later, she laughed in exasperation and said to Philip mockingly, “What did you say? Can you even do anything to me?” Philip did not speak and clenched his fists, expressing his emotions through his eyes. Ruby pointed at his nose and scolded, “Rubbish! A piece of trash like you dares to do anything to me? I’m the manager of the public relations department of the Uppercreek Chamber of Commerce. In terms of position and status, how can you be compared to me? “Do you think you can act arrogant just because you used to be rich? You’re nothing but a dog right now. Do you really think of yourself as a human being?” Ruby cursed like a shrew and said harsh words. Philip’s face changed, and his heart was full of anger. He said, “So what if you’re the PR manager? Believe it or not, one word from me and you’ll be out of here!” Ruby almost died of laughter. This fool, Philip Clarke, could actually say such arrogant word
Philip’s temper flared. After all, he was the heir of the Clarke family, and even this chamber of commerce belonged to him. Although he kept a low profile, he could not allow these bugs to harass and look down on him. “You’re pretty tough, huh?” The security captain, Dave Carter, looked at Philip with sarcasm. Was this silly kid not right in the head? Did Philip not see his people standing behind him? How dare he act tough? He was simply putting himself at gunpoint and looking for death! “Come on, boys, kick him out for me!” The corners of Dave’s eyes froze as he said viciously, “It's really an interesting day today, meeting a blind idiot with no foresight.” In a flash, several security guards rushed over and pushed Philip to drive him away. Suddenly! An angry rebuke rang out at the entrance of the Uppercreek Chamber of Commerce! “Stop it!” Hoyt Luther had run down with his assistant. As soon as he went out, he saw a group of people surrounding Young Master Clarke
“I can’t afford to have you calling me Brother Clarke.” Philip sneered and said, “You’re the manager of the public relations department of the Uppercreek Chamber of Commerce. Who am I? A loser who’s applying for a job as a security guard.” Ruby knew that Philip was making fun of her ignorance. With a self-conscious look, she thought about it and once again bent over to apologize. “Brother Clarke, I really made a horrible mistake this time. I was blind and looked down on you. I beg you, on account of my past relationship with Howard, please don’t drive me away.” Ruby was afraid. It had not been easy for her to get a job with a high salary and prestige. If she lost this job, she would surely regret it! Philip glanced at Ruby and waved his hand. “I don't want to see you again.” Then, he turned to Dave Carter, the security captain who was standing at the side. At this time, Dave looked as if he had seen a ghost. He quickly bent down and apologized, “Young Master Clarke, I’m s
“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
Arachne glared at the address Philip left behind. “Since he wants to meet the person behind the scenes, let him! That person is our king!” They worshipped their so-called savior very much. Sadie left without a word. She knew her limits. She would only die if she continued to fight Philip. Since she was no match for Philip, she had to find a way to become stronger. Philip would be doomed once she was strong enough. She was angry when she thought about being humiliated by Philip today. Philip did not care about them at all. He just wanted to see the person behind the scenes. Someone who could create that amazing gene seal had to be an extraordinary person. He would have to tread carefully.… Meanwhile, Raja was in trouble. Raja had left very hastily as his territory was under attack. The other party probably wanted to take his territory for themselves. The other party was a large and powerful race with vicious means. They somehow received news about his departure, so the
Although their strength had improved significantly, their opponent was Ronan, a talented expert. He was not someone they could mess with. These people were easily crushed. Before they could call for help, they were sent crashing into the walls and unable to move. Ronan was surprised at his strength. Philip had given him a lot of wine recently, which had greatly improved his strength. Combined with his innate talents, Ronan was almost invincible by now. Philip looked at him with satisfaction, pleased with his achievements. “Not bad. You did very well, but some of your moves are still quite sloppy. I'll give you a set of techniques later. Once you master it, you can crush these people easily with your bare hands,” Philip commented like a judge. Arachne and the others were knocked to the ground, horrified at Ronan’s strength. Sadie was very indignant about her defeat. They had resorted to some evil methods to improve their strength. How did they end up so miserably? “It lo
“Are you one of my kind?” The man was very excited to see one of his kind. Judging from the situation, the other party probably saved him. “Yes. I predicted that you’d appear at this place, so I asked someone to rescue you. You’re quite unlucky,” Celeste said awkwardly, feeling sorry for his bad luck. It was tragic to think that such a noble and mysterious race ended up as a slave. “They don't know my identity. They just think I look good. Thanks to them, I’ve done quite well with this face.” He laughed at himself at this point. Ronan felt sorry for the man at the sight of his pitiful state. He had been in the same plight back then—without any status and rejected wherever he went. He understood this misery better than anyone else. After getting to know each other, Philip took them away through the side door. The gentle and refined man was Darius. Philip gave him some pills to heal him so that he would not look so haggard. When they walked out, they bumped into Arachne
“We accept the deal. I declare that the man is yours!” The man was a slave who belonged to the organizers, so these auctioneers could easily decide his fate. At this time, a young man stepped forward and said something to the host, interrupting the auction briefly. “Excuse me, but this man has been taken.” They took the man away quickly before anyone could react. The crowd was confused, wondering what was going on. “What’s the meaning of this? The auction isn’t over yet! Did someone offer something that can decide the outcome?” “I don't believe anyone can come up with such a good thing. Besides, although the man looks pretty good, this is over the top!” Everyone thought it was too much for someone to spend so much money on an ordinary man. Ronan watched in silence. He knew that the bottle of wine was nothing to Philip, but to outsiders, Philip was simply spending a fortune to get a slave. He sighed inwardly. It seemed that a handsome face was very important. The org
“What a bunch of perverts,” Philip cursed unhappily at the sight of their gleaming eyes. He had to get this guy at all costs. The bidding started, and everyone sent the price soaring. At this time, Philip decided not to compete with money. There was no point in bidding with money. He decided to offer something for the other party's ownership. He contacted the organizer of the auction and gave him a bottle of wine. “I have some wine that can improve your strength after taking it. I can let you have a taste for free so that you can verify my claims.” Philip then handed over the wine in his hand. The auctioneers looked at Philip doubtfully, surprised by Philip’s sudden gesture. “I know that the neighboring city is selling some wine that can improve one’s strength, but it’s very hard to get!” As auctioneers, they were very well-informed. Moreover, the Wagner family had spread the news a long time ago. Their intention was to promote their wine, but they had to include Philip t
