A loud, booming voice was heard from the other end of the line, containing a trace of melancholiness. “Bob, what has happened for you to call me this late at night? This is very unlike you.” Desmond Fargo was currently at home in his study room, looking at the following day’s work minutes. He was wearing reading glasses, and his hair was white at his temples. He carried the aura of someone who had been in an official position for a long time. His actions and demeanor were both stoic and resolute. Bob Yates was a good friend of his for many years. In the past, both of them were often seen hand-in-hand, achieving numerous accomplishments in the system together. Even though Bob had retired early, he still had a strong influence. That was especially true when it came to many students. Bob flicked a glance at the nonchalant Philip and said, “Desmond, my son Samson is facing some problems in his company. The tax officers got to him and said there are problems with his books. Plea
Bob quickly regained his senses and picked up his phone. He had another way out; the angel investor! As long as the angel investor continued to invest in the Yates, there was still a chance for him to make a comeback! Mr. Clarke. That was right, Mr. Clarke! That angel investor had mentioned it before that his actions were on the account of Mr. Clarke. Bob could not wait to find this mysterious and wealthy Mr. Clarke. However, at this moment. Philip glanced at his phone placidly and asked with a grin, “Old Master, are you trying to approach the foreign businessman that invested one billion in your family last time to come and save you?” Bob was startled. His gaze swept across Philip and saw a trace of victory in the latter’s eyes. Could it be, that Mr. Clarke was… No, impossible! Bob shook his head repeatedly and screamed in utter aversion, “It can’t be you! Impossible! You’re nothing but a worthless piece of trash, the useless son-in-law of the Johnston family!” H
Philip ignored Martha and turned his attention to the men standing outside the house. “Do you still want to lay your hands on me?” Those people exchanged silent looks. When they saw Bob kneeling on the ground, they stepped back without a fuss. Philip then left the Old Johnston Manor with Wynn. Before that, Wynn had noticed the situation in the house and asked Philip, “Philip, what did you do to Grandpa? Why is he kneeling on the ground?” Wynn was shocked! The scene was simply unbelievable! Bob was the Old Master of the Yates family! He was her grandfather, a stubborn old fogey! However, at that moment, he was kneeling on the ground, and tears could be seen streaming down his cheeks! Philip… what exactly did he say to the Old Master? Philip looked at Wynn and said, “I’ll tell you next time. Now, I’ll bring you to the hospital to treat the injuries on your face. If a scar is left, you won’t be beautiful anymore.” Wynn’s words got stuck in her throat. Looking at one
“Are you relieved now?” Philip hugged Wynn’s shoulders and asked.Wynn nodded and wiped her tears.She had waited for this day for such a long time.At the same time, in the Old Johnston Manor, Martha was hysterically kicking up a big fuss.The Yates were bankrupt, and Martha had lost the support of her maiden family. What would happen to her status in this family in the future?How would she face her neighbors whenever she went out in the future?Especially when this matter was splattered all over the news.Early this morning, she received a few text messages from her friends. Their words were all full of gloating and sarcasm.“These mean b*tches, they must have been waiting for this day! Sending phony messages to comfort me… They’re just shedding crocodile tears!”Martha almost went crazy with rage. She tried to phone Bob, Peter, and Samson, but the calls went unanswered.After thinking about it, she sat on the sofa and called Paula.“Paula, what should we do? Our family h
Before he could finish his sentence, Wynn’s phone rang and interrupted their conversation.She rolled her eyes at Philip and said, “Regardless of what my Mom says, just don’t give her more money. She’s just kicking up a fuss now. It’ll die down soon.”With that said, Wynn stepped aside to answer the call.Philip stared at Wynn’s back in silence and mumbled, “Forget it. Once Mila gets well, all of us will move into our new home.”On this day, the news about Yates' bankruptcy intensified. Many forces and families were speculating about the power and influence behind all of this.The methods were too formidable!They only found out the terrifying circumstances after detailed investigation!Overnight!In just one night, the Yates went bankrupt and fell from grace.The reason turned out to be because the Yates had offended someone.Who was that person?It was a secret that many upper-class families and forces in Riverdale wanted to unearth.In other words, one small move from Ph
Philip was powerless as he got chased out of the house just like that.Standing at the entrance, he could still hear Martha’s tirade in the house.After brief consideration, Philip called George. “Old Man George, can you help me keep a lookout for any houses on sale recently? Wynn’s mother is thinking of buying a villa. If she asks about it, you can handle it on your own.”“Sure, Young Master. I know what to do,” on the other end of the line, George responded respectfully.After hanging up the phone, George immediately notified his secretary to contact all the real estate agents in Riverdale.As long as Martha had inquired about a villa to any real estate agent, the price would be reduced by half.In that case, even Martha would be able to afford it.After the arrangement, George responded to Philip who immediately gave his assent.He would treat that as a gift to the Johnston family. After all, Philip had not given anything to Martha in the past three years.After Philip left
Philip helped Wynn put on her helmet before he bopped her on the nose and said, “Nothing much. It’s just a company vehicle, that’s all.”With that said, he quickly started the vehicle and turned the handlebars. The BMW motorcycle roared to life pleasantly!It was the dream of every man.“Hold on tight.” Philip chuckled.The vehicle zoomed out quickly like a drift.Wynn sat behind Philip, her arms tight around his waist. She got a fright just now!When cornering, Philip actually imitated the moves of the bike racers on TV, leaning low into the corner!It was too cool!That scene attracted many passersby to cheer and take pictures of them.Was he still the trashy husband of hers?He even knew how to do stunts like this!Wynn stared at Philip’s back, her heart full of questions.How much did she not know about her own husband?Very soon, they arrived at the sales office of Hillside Villa on the bike.Wynn got down first and quickly dashed into the office.Philip had to park
“My mother-in-law and father-in-law are here to look at houses. Why are you chasing them away?”Philip appeared at the door. With his face stoic, he walked in one step at a time.His gaze immediately locked on Wynn’s left cheek that had an obvious red print. His wife got hit during the time he parked the bike?Philip walked up to Wynn and touched her left cheek. With fury in his eyes, he demanded to know. “Who did this?”With tears in her eyes, Wynn glanced at the flashy woman but shook her head and said, “It’s nothing. Let’s go.”Wynn was angry, but she did not want to cause any trouble. After all, the other party had connections in the family. As a commoner, she could not afford to provoke them.However, the unexpected happened.Philip said grimly, “That won’t do. In this world, no one can hit my wife, no matter who they are. Even if it’s the king of heaven, he must kneel and beg for your forgiveness.”He was brimming with dominance!The entire sales office fell silent.Eve
