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,
In the afternoon, Philip took Wynn away from Clarke Manor. As Wynn had just arrived on Arcadia Island and was unfamiliar with many places, Philip planned to bring her out and go shopping. Secondly, Philip wanted to see how Arcadia Island had changed over the years and to see how far the branch family’s hands had reached. At the first stop, Philip brought Wynn to one of the main family’s business properties on Arcadia Island. George Thomas was the butler responsible for several of the main family's properties on Arcadia Island. “Young Master, you’re here.” George smiled flatteringly and said to Wynn, “Young Madam, you look much better now.” Wynn smiled and said to George, “Mr. Thomas, I still can't believe that you’re the Clarke family’s butler.” George smiled and said, “Young Madam, there are still many things you won’t believe in the future, so learn to accept them as soon as possible.” Wynn took a deep breath and looked at Philip who was grinning broadly beside her.
George stroked his beard and said, “Yes, this is the card.” Then, George said earnestly, “Young Madam, is there a golden island symbol on the bottom left corner of this card?” Wynn took a look and really saw it. In the past, Philip gave her this card and told her that there was some money in it that she could use on a rainy day. At this moment, Wynn looked at Philip and pursed her lips. Philip put his hands in his trouser pockets and smiled faintly. If he remembered correctly, this card was issued at the bank in Riverdale last time. There should be one billion in it. Back then, when Martha went to check the balance, she was almost scared to death by 100 million! When Philip opened an account for Wynn, he deposited one billion. George knew about this. After all, Philip’s property distribution must be done through the Clarke family’s vault. Thus, George contacted the bank president at that time. The card issued to Wynn was also the Clarke family’s exclusive card! Howeve
“What made you so flustered? Tell me.” The manager was in full leadership mode and spoke while drinking tea. “Manager, look!” While saying so, Mary handed Wynn’s card to the manager. “A woman outside said she wants to withdraw all the money in here!” Pfft! As soon as the manager saw the golden island on the card, he spewed a mouthful of tea on the wall. Was this not the Clarke family’s exclusive Gold Island Card? The Clarke family’s Gold Island Cards were issued by the head office of more than 200 bank alliances. As they were only used by members of the Clarke family, the number of issuances was very small. This card was only recognized by bank executives and the like. However, this was Arcadia Island. All bank staff could recognize this card! The manager was stupefied. He held the bank card up, flipped it back and forth, and kept mumbling, “Yes, that’s right. This is the Clarke family’s Gold Island Card!” Mary said, “Right? Manager, if you say this is the Clarke
Arrest her? Hearing that, Wynn was dumbfounded. What did she do wrong? Why would she be arrested over a cash withdrawal? “W-What are you doing? What did I do wrong?” Wynn asked in a panic, her face full of confusion. One of the security guards wearing a bomb suit stood in front with a shield. He pointed at Wynn fiercely and said, “Don't talk nonsense and give up resistance. We’re following the instructions of our superiors. Please cooperate with our investigation. Otherwise, we’ll have to take coercive measures!” Another security officer said, “Put your hands up and walk slowly toward us! Hurry!” Wynn did not know what was happening, and she was very nervous. She raised her hands slightly and approached the security personnel. She thought that since it was the bank’s security personnel, they should not be bad people. Hence, there should be no problem in cooperating with the operation. If there was any misunderstanding, she would just cooperate with them and clear things
