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
With a sneer, Philip said, “Bring him up. You can handle him while I observe on the side.” “Yes, Young Master Clarke,” Hoyt replied. A few minutes later, Liam approached with a face full of smiles. He stretched his hand out and said fawningly, “Oh, Director Luther, we’re finally meeting. I’m full of excitement and anticipation.” Hoyt smiled slightly and said, “Manager Johnston, you’re too kind.” Seeing that Hoyt was shaking hands with him, Liam immediately smiled. It seemed that there was a chance for him to cooperate with the Uppercreek Chamber of Commerce today. Sure enough, Liam Johnston was the cream of the crop and the future of the Johnston family. As long as they could cooperate, the position of general manager in the company would be his! However, with a flick of his eyes, he suddenly saw someone else in the office. The said person was sitting on the sofa and drinking coffee in a dignified manner. “Philip Clarke? What is a wastrel like you doing here?” Liam’s fa
