At the scene, all members of the Clarke family looked at Wade with puzzled faces before their gazes turned to Wynn. Who was she? Was she not the young madam of the main family, a cheap woman from the outside world? Who else could she be? As for Wynn, she was a little flustered being stared at by everyone at this moment. She quietly moved to stand behind Philip and muttered, “Phil, why are they looking at me like this?” Philip glanced sideways at her, his eyes a little rueful. He said with a gentle smile, “It’s nothing. I’ll handle everything.” On this side, Wade was full of sneers. He glanced over, pointed at Wynn, and shouted angrily, “She, Wynn Johnston, is not a member of the Johnston family from Riverdale at all! Her background is something else!” Hiss! The scene fell silent. Everyone gasped. They had heard some things about Wynn before. She was from an ordinary family in Riverdale and was the daughter of the Johnston family. Her identity and status were of low
However, Charles stood with his hands behind his back with a proud look on his face. He said coldly, “I’ll never kneel!” After saying that, he turned to Martha and shouted in a manly manner for the first time, “Martha, get up!” Martha’s legs were weak and she did not want to get up at all. She had been tortured enough. Seeing her parents like this, Wynn felt her heart aching and she could not bear it. She put Mila down, rushed over, and pulled Martha up while exclaiming, “Mom, how did you end up like this? Quick, get up.” Martha looked up at Wynn miserably and wailed. “Wynnie, I don’t want to stay here anymore. I want to go home.” Charles stood aside, glanced at Martha, and scolded, “Weakling!” After that, he looked at Wynn with love and affection. He said earnestly, “Wynnie, we have let you down. You should stay here and be the young madam. Even if they beat me to death today, I won't say anything!” Hearing this, Wade shouted coldly, “Charles Johnston, are you senile? Ar
As soon as Wade said that, the small square of the memorial hall fell into a dead silence! Hiss! Everyone, whether from the main or branch family, gasped aloud. Then, with various looks of disgust, anger, and hatred in their eyes, they stared at Wynn who was beside Philip! She was actually a member of that family! That sinful family that shook the world a few decades ago, the one that countless forces were mobilized to exterminate! The Lovelace family! That evil family that was nailed to the pillar of shame! In an instant, all kinds of unpleasant words surged in the small square like a stormy sea. “What? She’s the sinned blood of the Lovelace family? Such a person can never become the young madam of the Clarke family!” “Of course! Such a sl*t with sinned blood flowing in her body shouldn't even set foot on Arcadia Island! She should be executed on the spot!” “That’s right, kill her! Such sinful blood is simply a disgrace to the people of the world!” Facing the c
Looking at Wynn whose eyes were red from crying, Philip felt very guilty and sad. Some things could not be concealed. Philip looked at Wynn and said, “I’m here to handle everything. You’re my wife and you’ll always be the young madam of the Clarke family. No matter who you are, no matter what blood flows through your body, as long as anyone dares to show their claws and fangs to you, I’ll eradicate them for you!” With that said, Philip got up. However, Charles suddenly grabbed Philip’s hand and said to him earnestly, “Philip, I’ve never begged you. But this time, I’m begging you to take care of this matter for Wynn. She—” Philip nodded and said, “Dad, don’t worry.” After saying that, Philip turned around and looked at Wade who was still prattling away with deep killing intent in his eyes! “Wade Clarke!” A deep and angry shout resounded throughout the small square. Wade turned his head with a sneer on his face. He looked at Philip who was walking to him with a gloomy f
Wynn half-knelt on the side as she supported Charles. When she heard Philip’s words, she raised her eyes that were red from crying and looked at him seriously with some hints of surprise. He was still the same person who had always loved her. Wynn cried. Although she did not know what sinned blood was and why the Clarke family became so aggressive when they heard that term, she knew that she had dragged Philip down and become a burden. She could not bear to see Philip make an enemy out of the entire Clarke family or the world for her sake. “Philip, don’t…” Wynn cried. However, Philip merely gave her a look of complete assurance and said, “Wynnie, trust me. You’re my wife, Mila is my daughter, and Nelson is my son. In this world, no one can hurt any of you.” After saying that, Philip turned around. His face was like the Grim Reaper, his eyes like a demon king, and he bore the intensity of an angry dragon. He stared fixedly at Wade and shouted, “Wade Clarke, as the heir of th
Wade looked at Roger and said, “Patriarch, you set the rules regarding the sinned blood of the Lovelace family back then. Anyone who sees the sinned blood of the Lovelace family must kill and eradicate them! Do you want to break this rule today? If so, are you still qualified to be the head of the Clarke family?” “Outrageous!” Horace shouted angrily and scolded, “How dare the branch family speak to the family head like this? Are you trying to rebel?” Wade laughed disdainfully and said to Horace, “Horace, at this stage, what’s the point of saying such things? Today, I’m here to set the record straight. I’ve arranged 10,000 guards outside, and they’re enough to overturn the entire ancestral hall. All of you here are within my reach! Today, either strip Philip of his status as the heir according to the family rules or punish the sinned blood and the two wild dogs according to the family head’s rules!” While saying that, Wade looked coldly at Mila, who was hiding behind Wynn. “Wh
The appearance of this group of 12 fully armed warriors instantly attracted the attention of the entire Clarke family because they had never seen such soldiers or guards before. Just the killing intent and chills radiating from them were enough to tell that this squad of 12 might be even stronger than a 100-member squad of the Clarke family! This was a cavalry built from a battlefield of life and death! There was a sense of soaring invincibility! 12 people of the Sovereign Legion approached the ancestral memorial hall. Each of the six men in front carried a black and gold wooden box in their hands. They passed through the crowd, walked up to Philip, and placed the black and gold wooden boxes in a row. Then, with a flick of their armored robes, these 12 people knelt in front of Philip on one knee. They bowed their heads and shouted in a muffled voice, “The 12 Legion of the Sovereign at your command.” Sovereign? It was just a simple phrase but all members of the Clarke
This was his trump card, but now that his confidants were killed, it also meant that his connection with the 10,000 guards outside was severed! In that case, what else could he use to blackmail the main Clarke family and force their hand? Had Philip predicted this long ago? Was there a traitor among his people? Philip chuckled as his eyes swept over Lex Clarke standing among the branch family members. Lex was impassive as he stood among the crowd. He was a spectator from the beginning to the end. This was what Lex had to prove himself. Philip accepted it. Then, Philip walked up to Wade who was furious but flustered. He said coldly, “Wade, now that you’ve lost your greatest support, what do you think I’ll do to you?” Although Wade was very angry at the moment, he soon calmed down and said with a sneer, “Philip boy, do you think that I’d be afraid of you just because you killed a few confidants of mine? Today, the main family must give a statement to the branch family.
