Without hesitation, Philip dialed the other party's number. The call was quickly connected, and the person on the other end asked in confusion, “Who are you? Why do you have my personal number?” “Homer Dunley, I’m Philip Clarke,” Philip said flatly. “Philip Clarke? I don’t know you. Did you dial the wrong number?” When Homer heard this, he frowned and wanted to end the call. However, Philip’s next sentence startled him. “Your son, Hector Dunley, injured my god-sister and is fleeing back to Charbury.” “Hector?” Homer frowned. After contacting his son earlier, he learned that he had gotten into trouble in Uppercreek after injuring a female nanny. He did not think it was a big deal then, so he did not ask much about it. However, the other party’s god-brother had taken the initiative to approach him now and was even able to get his private number in such a short time, which meant that the other party's influence was not small. It seemed that this matter was not that simpl
“50 billion?” Homer was startled before his expression turned cold and he said solemnly, “Young man, are you kidding me?” 50 billion dollars was a sky-high amount even in Charbury! Even as the richest family in Charbury, the Dunley family would be tempted by such an astronomical figure. Homer’s face was very gloomy as he added, “I’m discussing a solution with you. Don’t you think it's a bit too disrespectful of you to talk to me like this? Also, do you even have 50 billion dollars? To tell you the truth, five million is my limit—not a single cent over this number. If you want to make a move on my son, I'm afraid it's difficult to do so.” At this point, Homer was very angry. The other party was clearly trying to scare him and taunt him by naming out 50 billion. Homer was already being very generous by offering five million dollars, but the other party did not know what was good for him! “Hehe, Homer Dunley, are you saying that you don’t want to hand the person over?” Phili
He knew that his strength alone was not enough to bring Hector Dunley back. However, he dared not resist Philip’s order or make any excuses to reject him. After thinking about it, Victor made a suggestion. “Young Master Clarke, based on the current situation, it’ll be difficult for me to intervene in the affairs in Charbury. The foundation of the Dunley family in Charbury is too solid and I may not be able to bring Hector back in a short time.” Philip nodded and said, “You can just assist me in this matter. I have my own arrangements.” After that, he dialed George’s number and said, “I want to overthrow Homer Dunley’s lineage in Charbury.” Philip still had his limits. Since this was a problem that involved only Homer Dunley and his son, it was enough to punish their family without involving other innocent people. On the other end of the phone, George looked grave. He had just investigated the Dunley family and obtained a lot of background information. The Dunley family of C
In Homer Dunley’s villa in Charbury. At this moment, Homer was in the living room, sitting on a luxurious leather sofa while sipping on warm tea. Next to him, his son Hector was venting angrily, saying, “Dad, that damned Philip Clarke even tried to stop me in Uppercreek. Hehe, I must get him back for this!” Homer glanced at his son and said unhappily, “That’s enough! Do you have any idea how much trouble you’ve caused? He has already contacted me just now!” Hector was taken aback before saying in an unperturbed manner, “He contacted you? Did he ask to settle it privately or something? I just injured a female nanny. It was just one knock and she passed out. It’s her fault for not being physically fit enough to resist a beating. Besides, there’s nothing remarkable about Philip. He just knows a guy by the name of Heath, who happens to be a subordinate of Victor Bell in Uppercreek. Even if Victor personally came to Charbury, there’s nothing to fear! This is the territory of the Dun
“Homer Pharmaceutical, return my hard-earned money! You bunch of cheaters!” “Homer Pharmaceutical has victimized old helpless people like us. They say we can live up to 99 years old if we use their health care products. But now, several of my friends have been hospitalized after taking their products!” “The chairman of Homer Pharmaceutical, Homer Dunley, once promised us that we can get dividends if we buy their health care products—like buying shares. Now that we’re here for the dividends, they’re giving us all kinds of reasons and excuses. They even got hooligans from the streets to drive us away. Sometimes, those people even lay a hand on old men and women like us!” Hundreds of elderly people appeared on the camera. They were standing in the cold wind, frantically condemning Homer Pharmaceutical. Seeing this scene, Homer could not help but smash the remote control in his hand. Then, he picked up the phone, dialed the number of the general manager of the local news channel, a
The instant he heard this name, Homer was stunned! Philip Clarke? How could it be? That man only had some influence in Uppercreek. How could it reach Charbury? Moreover, Homer Pharmaceutical was one of the top companies here with many supporters behind it. By doing this, it was tantamount to challenging Homer’s patience and prestige, as well as challenging the company’s backers! “Neal, don't you f*cking bullsh*t me right now! How could Philip’s hand reach Charbury?” Homer’s face grew colder with deep resentment in his gaze. To his surprise, Neal grinned and said, “Mr. Dunley, I'm afraid you don’t understand. Your four units of dividends are nothing compared to the benefits they promised me. Besides, it’s also difficult to determine how long Mr. Clarke’s hands can reach. I can only give you a word of advice—don’t be too pretentious and look down on others. This Mr. Clarke is likely to be the jinx in your life.” Hearing this, Homer was very upset. However, he could not be
“Damn it! How dare Neal Pearce pull another trick on me at this point?! Once I regain my foothold, I'll make sure his life is worse than death!” Homer cursed. On the side, Hector could not help but say at this moment, “Dad, that Neal Pearce is nothing but a cunning fox. I never had a good impression of him before. But he has so much evidence against us in his hands, what should we do? Why don’t we expose him first? That way, that old fogey won’t have the chance to deal with us.” Homer pondered before saying, “Nonsense! What a lousy idea! Even though he’s done this to us, we can’t retaliate this way! You have to remember that Neal Pearce is not the only one who has a partnership with our family. If we expose him at this time, what will our other partners think?” Homer was still rational and knew that this absolutely must not happen. Otherwise, not only would he lose Homer Pharmaceutical but he and his son would also be ruined! “Then what should we do now? If this and that won'
Hearing this, Neal immediately said with indignation, “Mr. Dunley, as you know, we’re talking about 30 million dollars right now. If you want me to take the money without doing anything, won’t that be wrong of me?” Milo sneered and said, “You can still do what you need to do, but I’m just saying that you can delay the timing a little. You can broadcast the incident about Homer Pharmaceutical three days later. Now, tell those reporters of yours to withdraw. It’s not like the party behind you wants you to bring down Homer Pharmaceutical tonight, right?” Neal was taken aback, and his eyes darted about. What Milo said made sense. It was certainly possible. If he did things this way, he would not offend the Dunleys nor Philip. This was the best of both worlds. After thinking about it, Neal's heart began to waver. When he was hesitating, Milo spoke again, “Neal, since you’re in Flower City, you should understand what kind of place Charbury is. Here, the Dunley family is king. If yo
