Philip smiled and said, “Whether it’s a bluff or not, you’ll find out soon enough. I advise you to take this opportunity to kneel and apologize for your crime. I might consider granting you a way out. Otherwise, I’m afraid you’ll have to spend the rest of your life in prison.” “Oh? Haha, you stinking brat, still pretending to be cocky, aren’t you? Do you think you can scare me? And you even want me to spend time in prison?! You think you’re so awesome, huh?” Otis said. Now that the boss was in Philip’s hands, he dared not move recklessly. As soon as the boss was out of danger, he would definitely kill Philip the first chance he got! Philip sneered and slowly sipped on his tea. Joey was in an awkward position. As Philip was sitting and the position was fairly low, he could only squat next to him because his neck was being grabbed by Philip. The sight of him like this was too lowly. Joey Cullen was about to go crazy with anger! Joey Brewery was considered one of the three large
“Where did the dirt on your hands come from? Manager Cullen, don’t tell me you fell into the mud? Philip asked coldly. Jacky was instantly flustered and quickly defended himself, saying, “Chairman Clarke, I tripped and fell down just now.” “If you fell, why isn’t your body dirty?” Philip said. “This…” Jacky stuttered and could not complete a full sentence. “Let me tell you what happened, Manager Cullen. This is the dirt from the vase which you threw from the window, wanting to smash it over my head, right?” When Philip said this, his voice sounded like muffled thunder and the cold light in his eyes kept flickering. Jacky fell on his knees with a loud thud! “Chairman Clarke, I was wrong! Please have mercy on me. Joey, help me plead with him!” Jacky said to Joey. His cousin was his last ray of hope. Joey frowned, took a deep breath, and looked at Victor, saying, “Victor, we’ve never crossed paths before today. You’ve now captured my cousin and brought so many people to caus
As soon as Philip said that, Joey, Otis, and the others could not help chuckling. Those words sounded like wishful thinking! Was Philip Clarke not right in the head? Why would the alcohol sellers refuse to buy their cheap and premium alcohol that was produced locally? That would be no different from asking them to bear losses. Even if Philip knew Victor and had a bit of money, could he restrict the entire alcohol industry in Uppercreek? Joey said, “Okay, I’ll make this bet with you today! If you can do it, I’ll reverse my name from now today onward!” Philip smiled lightly and said, “As you wish!” With that said, he picked up his phone and dialed a number. “You!” The veins on Joey’s forehead throbbed with anger. He wanted to step forward but Victor and his men stood next to him like Philip’s protectors. Joey could only give up. This was also why Philip stopped keeping Joey hostage after Victor showed up. After so many events, Philip had put more trust in Victor by
Joey’s hands trembled as the phone fell to the floor. What was going on? Just now, the other party had still called him a buddy and wanted to help him settle things. Now, he wanted to end all cooperation just like that? Breaking off all cooperation in the business world was no different from severing a friendship! Joey and Mr. Saunders had known each other for more than ten years, but their relationship was severed just like that? Moreover, he did it in such a hurry without even a proper farewell—just like a scumbag on a one-night stand! Joey stood dumbfounded on the spot! He recalled what Mr. Saunders had just said, he was in deep trouble. Joey unconsciously glanced at Philip. Philip was looking at Joey with a face full of amusement. Joey’s temper flared as he picked up the phone and dialed another number. “Hello, Mr. Cooke, I’m Joey Cullen—” “Oh, Joey, I’m sorry to tell you this, but we won’t need the goods for this month. Please refund the order, and we won’t
“So, you’re…” Joey no longer dared to be impudent at this time and stammered. Philip smiled and said, “That’s right, I’m the young master of that Clarke family. Just a young master, don’t think too much.” Joey fell to his knees with a thud. When he first worked as a liquor merchant back then, he had witnessed the devastating power of the Clarke family! However, he heard that it was only done by a very inconspicuous person under the Clarke family. They were not surnamed Clarke but just working for the Clarke family. Now, a certain young master of the Clarke family was standing right in front of him. No wonder he could mobilize half of Uppercreek in such a short time. Not to mention Uppercreek but he could probably even mobilize half of South River if he wanted to! Joey quickly bowed and knocked his head on the floor until his forehead was almost bleeding. “Young Master Clarke, please forgive me! I didn’t know it was you! It’s that bastard Jacky Cullen who made me do this
“Give him a good beating before tossing him back to Bernard Johnston!” Philip said coldly. “Philip, no way, you can’t do this to me! I’m Wynn’s cousin!” Liam had gone totally limp at this point. Seeing Victor and the others surrounding him, his knees went weak as he knelt on the spot. “Brother-in-law, I’m begging you, please forgive me this time. I won’t dare to do it again!” With that said, he even knocked his forehead on the floor! However, everything was in vain. What awaited him would be a storm of violent bashing! … Ten minutes later, Liam was limp on the floor. It was an unbearable sight. His face was already swollen like a pig’s head. Philip glanced at him blandly and said to Victor, “Send him to Bernard Johnston and tell him that this is just a small warning. If they still don't know how to hold themselves back after this, I won't give them another chance!” After saying that, Philip left Joey Brewery. As for Joey Cullen, Jacky Cullen, and the rest, they were
“What’s wrong with you? Why did you bring him out? You’re not planning to accept him, are you?” While saying that, Joy glanced at Wynn’s stomach helplessly. She knew that Wynn was pregnant. At first, she even urged her to get an abortion. After all, if Wynn carried another child, she and Philip would really be inseparable. How could Joy bear to watch her best friend live a miserable life with a loser? Wynn smiled like a peach blossom and said, “Joy, you’ve misunderstood. Philip has changed and is no longer the Philip from before.” With that said, Wynn looked back at Philip with love and tenderness in her eyes. Joy shook her head speechlessly and said, “My goodness, what’s wrong with this world? You actually accepted him?!” Wynn rolled her eyes at her before dragging her into the department store. Joy was helpless and could only compromise for now. All was good as long as her best friend could live happily. She wondered what drug Philip had given her! Joy Cabot was the
The woman was rather delicate-looking. She was holding the arm of the man next to her. He was quite good-looking and dressed expensively. He must be rich. Philip and Wynn turned around to look and their faces immediately darkened. This woman was no stranger to Philip and Wynn. She was once Philip’s suitor in university, and she deliberately went against Wynn in every aspect simply because Philip rejected her. Just like that, hatred was born from love. Her name was Clara Nolan, and she was an arrogant woman who thought that everyone was beneath her. Clara was just passing by when she saw Philip and Wynn. She did not expect to run into them here after not seeing each other for so many years! When she saw Philip looking at Wynn so tenderly, the hatred from the past welled up after being sealed in her heart for so long. Thus, she immediately went in, wanting to humiliate Wynn and the others a little. Although she had not been in Riverdale in the past years, she still knew a
