The transaction was successful! Those staff who looked down on Philip just now were all dumbfounded and shocked! The payment… went through! Henley and Clara were also stunned, their faces filled with incredulity! How could this be? Philip actually paid for it and Wynn had entered the password! This was simply unbelievable! Was Philip not a loser who married into the Johnston family? Clara’s heart was in turmoil now and she was feeling very upset. A man she hated bought all the clothes in the shop for the woman she loathed the most. Wynn even knew the password to the bank card! She was jealous and envious! Even Mr. Holmes was trembling at this moment because he understood what that card in Philip’s hand represented! This was a bank card exclusive to the Clarke family. The identities of those who can use this card were definitely not something a small potato like him could comprehend. Now, such a person was in his shop. He was excited but panicking at the same tim
This annoyed Henley. He immediately took out his phone and yelled, “Very well, Rowan Holmes. You’re just the owner of a luxury clothing store and you dare to challenge my father? I’ll let you die without knowing how you died!” After saying that, he directly dialed his father's number and shouted anxiously, “Dad, come quickly! Your son is about to be killed!” On the other end of the line, a gruff male voice sounded. “What's going on? Whoever dares to lay a hand on the son of Bo Dill must be tired of living! Who’s the other party? Did you mention my name?” Henley quickly said, “Dad, I did. I said I’m the young master of the Dill family and my father is Bo Dill, but the other party doesn’t respect you at all. He even said you wouldn’t dare to touch him on his territory.” “What? Who dares to be so cocky? Son of a b*tch! Tell me the name of the other party and the address. I’ll meet him in person!” Bo was furious. Henley said, “Dad, the other party’s name is Rowan Holmes, he—” H
Upon hearing Philip’s words, Henley and Clara’s expressions looked very unpleasant. When they saw Philip’s indifferent eyes, they felt as though they were being targeted by a beast. Too scary! The look in Philip’s eyes simply made people uncomfortable. Henley was flustered because his old man had told him to kneel and apologize just now, but he lied and said that his father would come to stand up for him. Thus, he was scared. However, he was also very indignant! On what grounds could a loser be so arrogant? “You have a little money in your hand so you think you can act pretentiously, huh? Fine, if you can subdue me today, I’ll kneel in front of you!” Henley said to Philip haughtily. He wanted to perform well in front of his new girl, Clara Nolan. Maybe she would be happy and agree to go to a hotel with him tonight! It was just a million dollars, right? He totally did not put Philip in his eyes at all. Philip smiled lightly and said, “It seems that your family is q
Henley got a shock and quickly said, “Dad, what’s wrong? I didn’t cause trouble. Someone else messed with me.” “How dare you ask me what’s wrong? Do you know that someone seized our mine just now? It’s all because of you!” Bo roared. The mine was seized? Henley’s heart jolted as he asked in a hurry, “Dad, don't joke with me. How could our family’s mine be seized? Don’t you have someone above you?” “This is something I should be asking you. Do you know that you’ve caused a terrible disaster? Who did you offend outside? Why did the Uppercreek General Inspection team suddenly mobilize its people to search us? They even said you messed with some young master of the Clarke family and searched our entire mine. Now, the factory has stopped production! You’re such a prodigal son! Do you want to kick me into my coffin before you stop?” Bo said, almost dying of anger. Henley was in a panic now. The family’s mine could not be seized. Otherwise, where would his future monthly allowances
Henley was flustered. The coal mine was seized? If he continued to stay here, would he not be seeking death? After thinking about it and dwelling on it for about ten minutes, Henley said smugly, “Hmph! Only a fool will stay here and wait with you. I have something else to do, so I’ll leave first.” After that, Henley quickly dragged Clara with him to leave. If he did not leave now, everything would be exposed. However, Rowan signaled with his eyes, and the four burly bodyguards at the door grabbed Henley and Clara by their arms, shoving them back. Due to the force, Clara fell to the floor and her butt was in pain. She shouted, “Ouch, you guys must be f*cking blind! Henley, just look at them! They simply don’t respect you. Regardless of anything else, you’re still the young master of the Dill family in Uppercreek!” Henley also stumbled, shocked by the four burly figures blocking the doorway. He braced himself and bellowed, “Mr. Holmes, do you really want to do this? Are y
What? Alan Holmes’ younger brother? One of the three lords of Uppercreek? Henley panicked. His legs went limp as he stared incredulously at the bemused Rowan in front of him. Next to him, Clara also panicked at this moment. She did not expect Rowan to be the younger brother of Alan Holmes! She had heard that Alan Holmes was one of the three lords of Uppercreek! Goodness! She had actually offended such a character! She was doomed for sure this time. However, at this moment, she and Henley recalled a more terrifying fact—Rowan was very respectful to Philip before! Alan Holmes’ younger brother being so respectful to Philip was enough to illustrate a problem! It meant that Philip’s status was higher than Alan’s! After thinking about it carefully, Henley was afraid that his father’s claim about the mine being seized was true! Holy sh*t! At this moment, Henley and Clara realized what kind of existence they had provoked. Rowan coldly glanced at Bo, who had rushed
Upon walking closer, Philip saw that Wynn’s face was full of questions. He asked, “What’s wrong?” Wynn thought about it. Many words were stuck in her throat but in the end, she shook her head and said with a smile, “It’s nothing.” Philip smiled blandly and wanted to bring Wynn out of the shop. However, Bo and Henley were waiting respectfully at the door. They had no choice. If the coal mine continued to be sealed, the Dill family would be done for! Bo had to resolve this predicament. He angrily glared at Henley beside him and shouted, “Why are you still standing here? Get down on your knees and apologize to Mr. Clarke at once!” Henley was prepared to flee when his father’s voice suddenly sounded at his side, causing him to shudder with fright. Immediately after, he slowly turned around and looked at Philip, the fear in his eyes growing. At this point, he could only apologize and try to gain leniency. With a thud, Henley went down on his knees! He struggled to open h
“Really?!” Henley said excitedly. Would Philip really let him off so easily? He quickly asked again, “Philip… No, Mr. Clarke, are you really willing to let me off?” Philip nodded. “In that case, about our family’s coal mine…” Although Henley was happy that Philip was willing to let him off and could not wait to flee right this instant, if the matter with the coal mine was unresolved, he would still be dead after he returned home. As he said that, he also looked at his father who was standing respectfully on one side. He had never seen his father groveling like this before. “The closure of your family’s coal mine can be lifted. However, there are conditions.” Philip glanced at Clara when he said that. If this woman was not taught a lesson, she would not remember what had happened today. Although Henley had slapped Clara just now, in Philip’s opinion, it was still not enough. “What are the conditions? Just let me know. As long as I can do it, I’ll give you my promise! H
“This tea is simply amazing. I’m surprised that Philip is lucky enough to find this treasure!” “By the way, why is Philip alone? Where's that rabbit?” Everyone looked around but saw no signs of the rabbit and had to give up. In the end, only a mouthful of tea was left in the pot. After much deliberation, they decided to give it to the patriarch. After all, it was a rare treasure! They quickly tied Philip up. Once Philip lost his freedom, they had nothing to worry about. They wanted to take credit for their finding and let the family know about this rare treasure.… Meanwhile, Cameron was in his room, thinking about how to carry out the competition. He had just finished talking with Ronan and was in a good mood. He was surprised by Ronan’s attitude. Ronan did not hold a grudge against them and desperately wanted to join their family, which was simply too good to be true. More importantly, Ronan was strong enough to win the competition for them. Cameron did not care whet
At this moment, Philip noticed something unusual and realized that someone had sneaked into his yard. He was amused that someone dared to mess with him. “Surround this area while I poison him. After he’s dead, don’t forget to bring the rabbit along with us. It’s best if we can figure out the rabbit’s secret. If not, just silence the rabbit too!” The person taking the lead explained the plan. He was none other than Sadie’s husband. For the sake of his position in the family and his son, he had to take the risk. Philip was enjoying his premium spiritual tea, and that fragrance could not be concealed at all. Very soon, the intruders smelled the fragrance and followed their noses to find the source. “Do you smell something fragrant? I feel that my strength has improved after a whiff of this smell!” “I feel refreshed with just one whiff as if my ailment has been relieved. That ailment has been bothering me for years. This is amazing!” Everyone was excited as they tracked the s
Cameron never thought that he would lose to a rabbit in an argument. After a brief silence, he finally decided to ignore the matter for the time being. Since the treasures were in Rabbit’s hands, he had to talk to Ronan about the competition. “Ronan, come with me. I want to tell you about the competition. Your friend can stay. We’ll treat him with the utmost courtesy!” Cameron invited Ronan kindly while signaling to everyone. As long as Ronan was not around, they could attack and even kill Philip on the spot. Philip would be useless once they figured out Rabbit’s secret. If Ronan asked, they could say that Philip decided to leave. Anyway, they had all sorts of excuses to take care of this. Ronan glanced at Philip and walked to the conference hall. Ronan knew that he had to deal with these people himself. Philip was only here to give him courage. Philip gave him a reassuring look and returned to the house. He was interested in the competition, so he wanted to figure out
“Are you talking about this rabbit? He’s not my pet. He belongs to my friend.” Ronan shrugged. He wanted such a pet, but he was not good enough. Hearing that, Cameron's face turned pale. Although the rabbit was an additional benefit, he never thought that he would fail to get it. Cameron glared at Philip. He did not have a good impression of Philip. Philip looked like a troublemaker. He suspected that Philip had influenced Ronan into making things difficult for them. Cameron wanted to drive Philip away, but Ronan abruptly said that this matter was related to Philip. Before he could weigh the pros and cons, Cameron decided to hide his emotions. At least, he could not reveal his dislike for Philip. “I see. Your friend seems like a casual practitioner. Why don't he consider joining our family? For your sake, I can give him the same treatment and allow the two of you to take part in the competition as representatives of the family. I believe you’ll do your best and won’t let me
At this time, Rabbit hopped to Philip's side. “Philip, I was out for a walk yesterday and heard some rumors. They’ll be holding a competition among the humans soon, and all major families and forces will send some contestants for the fight. “Either a family or a force that is in charge of an area can join the competition. I heard that the Claude family is taking part.” Hearing this, and combined with their reaction, Philip guessed something. They probably wanted to trick Ronan into participating in the competition, which was why they were approaching him so enthusiastically. “There’s more.” Rabbit smiled and leaned forward, clearly asking for a beating. Philip saw Rabbit’s reaction and hit his face. “Just spit it out. Stop messing around!” Rabbit chuckled and said, “I heard that the Claude family is negotiating a business deal, and the prerequisite is that Ronan must participate in the competition and win first place. Although I don't know why, that’s the only condition the
Everyone was dumbfounded. No one thought that Ronan would take action without paying any heed to them. Cameron panicked and ordered his men to stop Ronan, “Guards, take action! You have to stop Ronan!” His face turned pale, and he wished that the guards could kill Ronan. However, he suddenly remembered the deal between the businessman and himself. “Wait, don’t kill him. I want him alive. I need him for something important!” Cameron shouted nervously as if he was sure that his guards would defeat Ronan. Other than the guards, other family members also stepped forward. They wanted to show off their strength. Seeing this, Philip waved to Ronan. He would take action if required. Ronan waved his hand indifferently in response. He did not need Philip’s help for now. He was strong enough to take care of it. At this time, Rabbit appeared drowsily. Rabbit led a carefree life, and Philip always let him be, so he was an idle rabbit. After Cameron and the others saw Rabbit, their e
Ronan became more confident after the chat with Philip. If anyone dared to mess with him, he would not hesitate to teach them a good lesson. Cameron looked around but did not see Rabbit. He was worried but went straight to the point. “My child, after all these years, have you finally decided to return to the family?” Cameron smiled as he attempted the emotional approach as if Ronan had lived outside over the years because of his own decision. Hearing that, Ronan coughed and nearly threw up. Cameron was really good at blaming him. “What do you mean? Did I ask you to kick me out of the house?” Ronan's eyes flashed with anger. As a weak and powerless child back then, he was kicked out of the house right after his mother’s death. That feeling was really humiliating. All his grievances over the years exploded at this point. He could not tolerate these hypocritical people anymore. Cameron noticed Ronan’s reaction and knew that it was bad. This matter was out of his control. Ronan
“Since you've accepted my things, you should…” Cameron rubbed his hands excitedly, looking at Rabbit smugly and expectantly. His men looked at Rabbit in delight. It would be great if they could get storage space. Rabbit shook his head in disdain. “What are you thinking? Do you think you’re worthy of me? You don’t even have a measly storage space. Who are you to bargain with me?” Rabbit kicked the nearest person away. “Don’t bother me again or that’ll be your outcome!” He hopped back into the house. He was not afraid that they would mess with him. Cameron was shocked that Rabbit would go back on his word after taking their things. He was furious. Those were the treasures of the family. It would be a disaster if they lost them. However, it was clearly not the right time to dwell on it. Cameron decided to talk to Rabbit again tomorrow. He had to talk to Ronan anyway. It would be best if he could fool them. “Let’s get some rest for the night and talk about it tomorrow morning
Cameron persuaded Rabbit excitedly. In his opinion, he was halfway to success. Rabbit nodded. “Give me what you have for now. At least show me your sincerity. You should know that the guy inside offered me a high price!” Rabbit fooled Cameron. He wanted to know what Cameron could come up with. Just crystals alone would be a letdown. Hearing that, Cameron waved to his men, signaling them to take out all the good things from the warehouse, at least to fool Rabbit for the time being. His men reluctantly went to the warehouse and took out all the treasures they had collected. Anyway, it was just for show and would not really be given to the rabbit, so they did not object. It would be a great deal if these treasures could attract a guardian beast. Rabbit nodded with satisfaction at these things. He waved his hand, and everything vanished from those people’s hands. Everyone was shocked and wondered what was going on. There was no such thing as storage space in this world. They ha
