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
At this time, the rich guy who came with Clara suddenly spoke. “Clara, is this Philip Clarke the worthless punk you mentioned to me before?” he said with disdain. Clara chuckled and said, “Yes, Henley. Who else can it be? A loser like him is an embarrassment wherever he goes! Forget it, I’m here to buy clothes today. I’m not in the mood to talk nonsense with you guys.” After saying that, Clara stepped forward and pushed Philip away. Taking Henley’s arm, she walked into the clothing store coquettishly. Philip’s heart was full of anger and he was about to explode when Wynn stopped him upon noticing it. “Philip, let’s not cause trouble. Just put up with it and ignore her,” Wynn said. If not for the child in her stomach, she would not be tolerating Clara’s willful behavior. In the next few minutes, whichever nice-looking clothes Clara set her eyes on, she would casually ask to get them in her size and told the attendant to wrap them up. She neither asked for the price nor tri
“What?” Joy fumed and said, “If you give them this dress, we won’t buy anything either!” The attendant looked at Joy coldly and said, “I don’t think you intended to buy anything in the first place.” “Damn it! Believe it or not, I can buy all the clothes in your shop!” Joy said angrily. She was indeed capable of doing so. The daughter of the Cabot family, one of the four great families in Uppercreek, was not a presence anyone could compare to. However, Old Master Cabot placed importance on education and self-reliance when he raised his children. Hence, Joy had developed a habit of being frugal since childhood and would not spend money recklessly. Even if she did, she only spent the money that she earned. However, if she were to get really angry, she would call her brother and make him buy her the entire shop. Despite that, she had a strong personality and would not beg her father or brother unless it was the last resort. The shop attendant simply ignored her this time.
Joy looked at Philip viciously and felt sorry for Wynn. Then, she took out a tissue from her bag and wiped Wynn’s tears with it as she said, “It’s okay. Let’s go to another shop and I’ll buy something for you!” Philip’s heart tightened. Without another moment of delay, he grabbed both Wynn and Joy’s arms, one with each hand. He dragged them into the shop and said to the shop attendant, “Are you saying that whoever buys more, you’ll sell the clothes to that party?” Clara was still gloating about it when she saw them return. She mocked them, saying, “These fools haven’t left yet.” Henley Dill laughed when he heard Philip’s words, sized him up, and said, “Oh? Buddy, from what you’re saying, are you trying to compare your wealth with me?” Wynn was baffled when she was pulled along by Philip. Seeing that Philip was now going up against this nouveau riche, she quickly tugged on Philip’s arm and said, “It’s okay, I was just a little angry. Let’s go. Let’s not argue with them.” To
