At this moment, the grand elder was lying on a wicker chair, enjoying tea and listening to music. “Little Monkey, refill my tea,” the old man called out. Philip walked over with a few steps, refilled the old man’s teapot, and sat next to him. The old man glanced at Philip and asked with a faint smile, “Something on your mind?” Philip squeezed out a smile and said, “Nothing.” The old man chuckled, looked at the flowers and plants in the yard, and said, “I watched you grow up. I can tell at a glance that you have something on your mind. If you tell me, perhaps I can help.” Philip thought for a while, got up, and sat down next to the grand elder. He refilled the old man’s teacup before asking, “Grand Elder, I want to ask you something.” The old man hummed and said, “What is it? Why are you so secretive and why do you look so serious?” Philip pondered for a moment and asked, “Do you know about the Multidew Herb?” “Multidew Herb?” The grand elder suddenly repeated and sa
His mother actually knew about the Multidew Herb? “Grand Elder, what’s going on? Why did Mother leave you this thing?” Philip asked. The old man shook his head and said with a smile, “Your mother’s talent is the first in this world, and no one would dare to say no to her. She must have her reasons for leaving this thing behind. Back then, your mother and your father were in charge of the sixth and seventh zones in the Nonagon. They were known as the double emperors. Unfortunately, it wasn’t long before the turmoil in the Nonagon broke out. Your parents had no choice but to leave. Your mother's accident was more or less related to the Nonagon. Perhaps it was also connected to the Multidew Herb.” The grand elder looked at the sky, lost in thoughts. Waves of sadness appeared on his face. Philip listened in amazement. He had already learned from Fennel Leigh that his mother’s accident was related to the Nonagon. However, the Multidew Herb was also related to his mother now. C
Back to Philip’s side. In the afternoon, he brought Wynn and Mila to his third mother’s residence. Aria Tsar’s place was plain and simple. The decoration style was homely and elegant. At Wynn and the child’s arrival, Aria came out from the backyard with a loving smile on her face. She stepped forward and took Wynn’s hand while saying, “Wynnie, I’ve heard so much about you from Hazel and Nadia. Seeing you today, you’re indeed a beauty. Come here and sit down. You just gave birth and shouldn’t stand for too long.” “Third Mother.” Wynn inclined slightly and addressed her politely. Aria was very fond of Wynn and Mila. “This must be Mila. How cute!” Aria pinched Mila’s chubby face dotingly. Wynn said to Mila, “This is Third Grandma.” Mila looked up at Aria with her big eyes and greeted, “Third Grandma.” Aria kept laughing happily and started chatting with Wynn and Mila. Poor Philip was just a decoration next to them. After the meal, Wynn and Aria chatted for a few mo
After Christian stood up, the elders and people in charge of the branch family, as well as the young masters and young ladies, finally dared to follow suit. Then, Christian left the memorial hall with the man in his 50s. After Christian left, the other members of the branch family in the memorial hall finally dared to air their grievances. “Oh, my legs are numb! It's all that damned Philip’s fault!” “Yes, damn it! After kneeling here all night, I’m nearly starving to death!” The group of pampered young masters and young ladies felt dizzy. They could not wait to leave the memorial hall and go back to the comfort of their own homes. In the memorial hall, more than a dozen elders and people in charge of the branch family remained. At this moment, they looked at each other. Some helplessly shook their heads and sighed before saying, “I’ll be going back, then. After one night of suffering, my body can’t take it anymore.” “I’m leaving too. I still have things to handle at the
Salem smiled and said, “All of you have been used by Philip. To be precise, we’re Philip’s pawns. After all the trouble yesterday, everyone's eyes are now on the branch family and Philip. If anything happens to Philip from now on, everyone will suspect the branch family. When the time comes, even if we didn’t do it, it’ll become our doing. So, do you still want to make a move against Philip?” “This…” Instantly, everyone was speechless! When they thought about it carefully, it was true! “Damn it! That brat is actually using us as pawns and shields!” Desmond was not a fool and instantly figured it out. Not only could the branch family not make a move against Philip, but they even had to try to protect him now! That was because now everyone knew that the conflict between the branch family and Philip had escalated to the point that it could not be resolved! If an interested party used this to attack Philip and anything happened to him, everyone’s eyes would be focused on th
Levi and Lex had never gotten along. They had little interaction with each other. Today, Lex actually came to see Levi, which caused a sense of foreboding to well in his heart. While thinking, he said to the butler, “Send him in.” Soon, Lex walked into the hall and saw Levi sitting on the sofa in the living room. At this moment, Levi's cheeks were still flushed and his body reeked of alcohol. When Lex entered, he first bowed and said, “Hello, Levi.” Levi glanced at Lex indifferently and said with a smirk, “Oh, my second brother is here. I wonder why you’re looking for me. This is the first time you’ve visited my humble abode in recent years. I always thought my place was too shabby for your liking.” A dagger was hidden in his smile. Levi’s words were to give Lex a tongue-lashing. Lex smiled and said, “Levi, you must be joking. It’s just your mighty reputation that prevented me from visiting.” “Hehe, since you’re here today, are you saying that my reputation isn’t as
After that, Lex turned around, returned to Levi’s side, and said, “Levi, this matter is actually very simple. Since Philip is already on bad terms with the branch family, we can do this…” After half an hour of conversation, Lex bowed and left Levi’s residence. At this moment, Levi stood in front of the gate with his hands behind his back and looked at Lex’s departing back. The smile on his lips gradually solidified, replaced by coldness! “Men, monitor Lex’s every move. No matter what he does and whoever he meets, even what he eats, I want a detailed report on everything!” Suddenly, Levi said solemnly. “Yes, Young Master Levi.” Behind him, a guard replied. … Back to Lex’s villa. In the living room of the villa, a burly man sat on the floor with his eyes fixed on the TV as he played video games. The woman with a sultry figure sat on the side, fiddling with her phone. She was live-streaming on a live broadcast platform. After he returned, Lex stood in the living room and
In the residence living room, Philip sat on the sofa and looked at Lex who was sitting on the side. He smiled and asked, “Why did you come to see me?” Lex took a sip of the tea made by the servant and placed the teacup on the table. With a smile, he said, “I’m here to admire the mighty air of the young master of the main family.” Philip chuckled with a subtle glint in his eyes and said, “Hurry up and state your business. I have to accompany my wife out later.” Lex nodded and said directly, “I want to cooperate with you.” “Cooperate?” Philip chuckled and asked, “Have you mentioned this to Levi?” Hearing this, Lex raised his brows slightly, nodded, and said with a smile, “I have, and he has agreed to it.” “In that case, by coming here to talk to me, are you going to be the middleman who puts on a show just so you can sit back and watch the two of us fight while waiting to reap the benefits?” Philip asked smilingly as the look on his face gradually darkened. Lex nodded,
