Chloe Sommerset.How did Wynn know about Chloe?Philip was stunned. His words were stuck in his throat. He did not know how to answer her.Wynn’s eyes were red with some moisture in them. She looked at Philip and tried to catch something from the changes in his expression. In the end, she only felt disappointment.She was disappointed in Philip.Wynn covered her mouth and got up. Then, she left the room while sobbing. Philip did not say anything because he did not know how to explain this situation to her.He was not ready to explain this to Wynn.Wynn cried for a while in the toilet. She was sure that Philip was having an affair as he did not explain the matter to her. Wynn’s heart was hurting. She did not know how to face Philip.More than ten minutes had passed before Wynn finally calmed down. She went back to the room and did not see Philip. She then continued to accompany Mila with a glum face.Philip had tried to explain himself a few times but it was as if the words
Philip looked at the woman in front of him coldly. This was the woman he had wronged seven years ago. He said, “Chloe, don’t involve other people in our business. Don’t cause any trouble for my family.”Slap!Chloe got up and slapped Philip across the face. Then, she glared at him and said, “What happened between you and me will not end so easily. Don’t forget how you left me without a word and how much you’ve hurt me!”Chloe’s heart pounded when she saw Philip. After all, they had not seen each other for seven years.She had even looked forward to this.However, Philip’s eyes and expression just now betrayed how he truly felt.Chloe was a woman, so she knew how Philip was feeling. He only cared about that woman named Wynn.“Chloe, what happened seven years ago was my fault. It’s fine if you want to punish me. However, you can’t do anything to Wynn. This is my warning for you,” Philip said. If Chloe really touched Wynn, Philip would fight back without a second thought.“Warni
When he heard Wynn’s voice, Philip’s face fell. He stared at Chloe intensely.Chloe looked at Philip with a fake smile and said, “Hello, Wynn. I’m Chloe.”There was silence on the other end of the phone.“How can I help you?” Wynn was a woman with a temper. It was obvious that she was mad from her cold tone.Chloe did not answer immediately. She looked at Philip and said softly, “If Wynn knows who you are, how will she react? Have you ever thought about it?”Philip clenched his fists, his eyes heated. His low voice sounded like the growl of a beast. He said, “Chloe Sommerset, you’re playing with fire.”Philip was nervous, but at the same time, he was furious.He did not like to be threatened!“Philip, do you not understand me? The more exciting a game is, the more I’ll like it.” Chloe placed her hand under her chin and looked at him provocatively.Then, she said into the phone, “Wynn, what kind of man do you think Philip is?”What kind of man Philip was?Wynn was taken aback
“Mom, I didn’t. Maybe Wynn’s just exhausted.” Philip explained.However, Martha did not believe him. She looked at him with the corner of her eyes and her face was as cold as stagnant water. She pointed at Philip’s nose and started shouting, “Do you think I won’t understand the daughter I gave birth to? Philip, don’t say that I never warned you. A man like you is not a match for my daughter at all! If you’re smart, you should divorce Wynn as soon as possible. Stop hindering Wynn from marrying into a rich family!”Philip was helpless when he was faced with Martha’s arrogance and bossiness.Martha was not the only one who was annoyed. Philip was feeling frustrated as well. After being accused by Martha, Philip’s tone became slightly awful.“Alright, I got it. Can you stop nagging? This is between me and Wynn. We will take care of this,” Philip replied coldly. There was no warmth in his eyes. Martha was shocked by that ominous glint in his eyes.Martha was enraged. How dare he talk t
Philip Clarke?Martha frowned. She looked annoyed. Whenever she heard Philip’s name, she would feel as if her entire body was covered in thorns. However, she hid that feeling in a blink of an eye.Miss Sommerset was the one who sent over all these gifts.There was precious jewelry, a car, and also cash.It was obvious that Miss Sommerset was from an affluent family.“Um, our Philip is friends with Miss Sommerset?” Martha smiled.That man replied politely, “I don’t know the details. I’m just here to deliver the gifts.”After he said that, the man left with his men. He came just as quickly as he left.Martha finally came back to her senses.She was rich!“Charlie, Wynn, we’re going to be rich! These… These things are worth so much money! We also have two million bucks!”Martha was so excited that her bottom did not hurt anymore. She stared at those gifts and the two boxes of cash. She wanted so badly to fall asleep while holding them.Charles was excited, of course. Especiall
Wynn was crying from frustration. She stomped her feet and went back to her bedroom. Then, she slammed the door.Martha was stunned, but she shook her head while feeling pleased with herself. Then, she looked at Charles as if she was showing off. She stood up with a devilish grin on her face. She happily brought everything back to her room.After that, Martha remembered that there was something off about Philip.Miss Sommerset gave them so many expensive gifts for no reason. Plus, judging from Wynn’s reaction, they must be hiding something from her.“Charlie, what do you think is wrong with Philip? Why did Miss Sommerset send so many expensive things to us?” Martha asked.She was constantly thinking about Miss Sommerset.Why would a normal friend send them so many expensive things?It seemed that Philip and Miss Sommerset’s relationship was not that ordinary.Charles was studying his calligraphies. He answered, “You should ask Wynn. She might know.”Martha pressed her lips tog
Philip’s fiancée?Wynn could feel her heart skip a beat. Her fair hands clenched together in fists as she grabbed her dress. She looked at Chloe in disbelief. Then, she lowered her eyes and her lips started to tremble.What was going on?She was Philip’s fiancée?Why did Philip not tell her about this?At this moment, Wynn was feeling all kinds of emotions in her heart. It was difficult for her to calm herself down. She was so nervous that she took a big gulp of her coffee to control her emotions.Chloe smirked coldly. She was feeling pleased with herself and it was made obvious by the smirk on her face. She continued to say, “Philip and I are childhood sweethearts. We've known each other since we were young. Seven years ago, he left without a word at our engagement party. I didn’t expect him to be married and have a daughter seven years later,” Chloe said slowly. Each and every word she said made Wynn feel like a sinner. She had known Philip from a long time ago. They were als
Wynn walked down from the top floor lifelessly and miserably. She could not stop the tears that were rolling down her cheeks.Why? Why did Philip hide this from her?She felt hurt and betrayal that she had never felt before.Wynn started to question herself. Was she just one of Philip’s toys?She felt that Chloe was too domineering. She was not her opponent at all.What should she do? How should she face this?Wynn felt exhausted. She started walking with no destination in mind.At this time, a group of people who looked like thugs began following behind her.They had received the signal and been waiting on the first floor for a very long time. They looked at each other while rubbing their fists before heading over to Wynn quickly.“Hey pretty lady, you’re looking hot. Your skin is so fair and your legs are so slender. Daddy likes women like you. Why isn’t there a man with you? Do you want to have a drink with me and the boys?”“Why is a pretty lady like you crying? Who bulli
Anyone with any ideas could only shake their heads helplessly after hearing Philip’s remarks. At the same time, they were amazed by the ring’s function. “Wow, that’s great. The person who made this thing must be a genius!” Cameron clapped his hands excitedly. Of course, he was worried that someone would steal his treasure. After all, owning a treasure was a sin in itself. It was inevitable for others to covet his treasure. It would be bad if they attacked him because of greed. With Philip’s explanation, his trouble would be reduced. “That sounds amazing.” The patriarch of the Lamy family seemed dissatisfied. He had some crooked thoughts too. With their family’s financial resources, they could not buy so many rings, so he planned to steal the other two as well. He was not that stupid to steal from Philip, so he could only set his sights on the other major families. Everyone wanted the rings anyway. As long as he refused to admit it, no one would know that he was guilty.
It was too much to use half of the family's assets and properties in exchange for one storage space. “Are you sure about this? Do you know how much that would cost?” “The Lamy family must be crazy to go all out for this treasure!” Everyone complained helplessly. They might be in trouble if the Lamy family insisted on doing it this way. “I know you guys can’t afford it, so stop wasting your time. The Lamy family has made an offer. If you can up the price, go ahead. Don’t stop us from buying that treasure!” the patriarch of the Lamy family said smugly. He felt that his offer was high enough and no one could afford it, so this thing would definitely belong to him. Even Ronan was surprised by this development. He had heard of the Lamy family before. Ronan had worked for the Lamy family before, but their attitude toward him was the same as that of other families—indifferent and disdainful. Therefore, Ronan had the same bad impression about everyone. The Lamy family was not
Rather than saying that they were unwilling to believe it, it was more likely that they did not dare to believe it. Ronan calmly put the ring aside. “I'm wearing a ring that looks better than the ones you're about to get. Watch this.” After saying that, Ronan demonstrated to everyone what a real storage space could do. Anything he took in his hand vanished and appeared at will, which looked simply amazing. Everyone was jealous at this scene. They stared at Ronan’s hands nervously, trying to see if he was performing a magic trick or showing off the storage ring. After Ronan's many demonstrations, they finally confirmed that Ronan was not lying. Everything was true. Everyone exclaimed in amazement. “Wow, I can’t believe that I really saw a storage space in action!” “It’s amazing!” “I have to get hold of one!” Although Sadie had been dealt a heavy blow, she hid in a corner and observed the situation instead of leaving. She wanted to see how things would develop. When S
“Heh, look at those crazy family patriarchs. They can't wait to suck up to Ronan! Do you think they’ll question the Claude family after hearing about the storage space? They’ll only turn up in person to find out about it! “With so many of them putting pressure on us, what do you think we can do? Now, we may not even get that amazing storage space because there are too many people competing with us!” Cameron was furious and almost passed out in anger because of this stupid woman. Sadie scowled at the yard in disbelief as she realized that the crowd causing the commotion was the patriarchs of the other major families. She thought that they were servants sent by the families, but everything was different from what she imagined. “How did this happen? I planned everything perfectly. We just need to throw the wool over their eyes. Things shouldn't have turned out like this!” Sadie almost had a mental breakdown at this bad news. “No way. This is impossible…” Seeing the family
“Forget it. I won't talk to you anymore. I want to claim the credit for what I’ve done!” Sadie quickly turned and left. The butler wanted to stop her, but she vanished before he could say anything. In the end, he remained silent. “The plan really backfired on her. Unfortunately, she can only blame it on her bad luck.” The butler knew the situation the family was facing now. Their residence would probably be turned upside down. The Claude family could have owned a storage space, but everything was ruined now. Not only would they fail to get one, but others would also humiliate them! Sadie quickly arrived at the yard and rolled her eyes at the crowd. “Dad, over here!” Sadie beckoned her father excitedly as if she had great news for him. Cameron was very anxious at this point and wished he could find a solution. When Sadie called him, he thought his solution had appeared. He rushed over and looked at Sadie curiously. “What’s up? Is there any good news?” He was very excited
Everyone was excited to hear that Ronan had those legendary items. It was great. “Our family has to get one!” The patriarch of the Lamy family was the most excited. The members of this family had always been strong-headed and were determined to get it. The other families were unhappy to hear that. They were not that bad either, so they were annoyed by that high-handed remark. “All the major families are powerful in our own rights. I think there’s no need to conclude so quickly.” “I agree. I’m afraid you’ll hide and cry if you fail to get one. That'll be embarrassing.” “Even the major families are not confident about this. Who do you think you are to get it?” Everyone targeted the swell-headed Lamy family even though they were indeed big and powerful enough to steal the treasure from them. The Claude family was the most excited yet regretful. Instead of feeling happy that the families were bickering with each other, they were worried. Although the families were fighting
Besides, Philip mentioned that he would help Ronan make a name for himself. The storage rings that Philip provided were quite meager, with only 30 to 70 cubic feet of storage space each. However, that did not stop Ronan from admiring Philip. He knew that Philip had various treasures, but he was willing to share them with Ronan, which was too generous for words. To prevent Ronan from getting the short end of the stick, Philip also provided some common things for doing business. Due to this, Ronan wanted to serve Philip. In their world, the best way to express gratitude was to acknowledge the other party as their master. It was not only to seize the opportunity but also to find a good roof over their head. Thinking of this, Ronan did not dare to call Philip his brother anymore. Ronan decided to approach Philip at night and find a way to acknowledge him as his master so that he could serve Philip wholeheartedly. Philip had no idea about Ronan’s thoughts. He was still think
Everything Rabbit owned, including the storage space and various treasures, was given by Philip. So, Rabbit could come up with some amazing things for these people to please him. Rabbit felt very proud of this accomplishment. “Ahem, everyone, follow me! I know you’re eager to see Philip, but you have to follow the rules. Don't be as rude as the Claude family!” Rabbit said calmly. He was very unhappy with the Claude family. Hearing that, members of the Claude family were livid. They were shocked by Rabbit's words. He was deliberately putting them down! Those remarks were likely to affect their status among the major families. That off-handed tone might cause other major families to reject them. “I’m surprised that this family would be so arrogant and disrespect you!” “How could they treat that precious storage space so carelessly? I say, those people are too bold to disregard such a valuable treasure!” “This family is stupid and arrogant. Let's ignore them to avoid any ass
However, Cameron and his people were arrogant enough to lock Philip up. How dare they?! “Cameron, you went too far!” “I never knew that the Claude family were such people. I really misjudged you before. You’re really too much for treating such an amazing person that way.” Everyone pretended to be angry and kept speaking up for Philip, trying to please Rabbit and indirectly please Philip. Cameron was startled by Rabbit’s words, which easily landed him in trouble. “No, that's not exactly the case. I didn't lock Philip up but gave him a place to stay. How would I dare to lock up such a powerful person? You really think too highly of me.” However, Cameron’s explanation was useless. Everyone believed that Cameron locked Philip up on purpose, so they wanted to get him into trouble. Whether Cameron locked Philip up or treated Philip as a valuable guest, they wanted to ruin Cameron’s reputation. Once they got rid of Cameron, they could focus on pleasing Philip. “You must be
