Wynn was standing right next to Philip, watching everything unfold without a word.This man was so familiar to her, but also so unfamiliar.Martha and Charles had long since been stunned into silence. They exchanged a look and found oceans of fury in each other’s eyes. “Do you have any idea what you’ve done, Philip? Why the hell did you do that? Her brother is the Chief Staff Sergeant! We’re screwed, you’ve condemned us all to death!”Martha immediately shoved Philip and yelled at him, then she just sat her butt on the floor and began bawling unreasonably.Philip really hated the way Martha made a huge scene out of everything. She was always so ignorant and ungrateful.“It’s fine, Mom. I can handle this,” Philip said calmly.“As if you can handle anything! You’re just a good-for-nothing! Oh, you’ll be the death of us all!” Martha scolded him angrily. She wanted nothing more than to rip him to shreds right now.That cursed Philip Clarke was truly a blight on her life.If the w
“Haha! Not bad, punk. You’re pretty bold for someone who just committed an assault. In fact, you’re the ballsiest one I’ve seen so far.”Manson sniggered and grabbed the cuffs from the table, dangling them in front of Philip. “Do you want to cuff yourself, or do you want me to do it?”The flashy woman next to him interrupted, “I wanna do it!”However, Philip merely said calmly, “You just want money, right? State your price.”Everyone went silent at that.The flashy woman exchanged a look with Manson and discretely held up two fingers.Manson understood in an instant. With a smile, he said, “Since you offered, let’s do two million, and we’ll consider this water under the bridge. After all, I can’t just let you get away with hitting my sister for nothing.”Philip nodded and actually agreed. “Alright. Two million it is.”That was enough to spread smiles across the three people sitting opposite him.They did not expect this broke-*ss punk to actually have some money behind him. He
Wynn stared directly at Philip, her eyes filled with suspicion.Just who was her husband, really? Why was a man as powerful as Theo Zander treating him with such respect and gravitas?It was not just Wynn, either. Martha and Charles were also looking at him with eyes widened in surprise.They had met Theo Zander before at the Old Master’s birthday.The Old Master had treated Theo with significant reverence.Yet now, Theo was treating that useless Philip even more respectfully.What kind of a sick joke was this?Martha’s eyes narrowed in suspicion and she looked Philip up and down. She just could not find anything special or impressive about Philip at all.With that, she was even more certain now that Theo was a nobody too.If he had to treat a piece of trash with such respect, he must not be all that either. Had her old father gone blind? Why was he so polite to a mere thug like that?On the other hand, Manson also blinked slightly when he saw that Philip had really called
There were many sales personnel and prospective buyers in the large sales office, all of them gathered to watch the drama. Now, however, all of them were feeling rather lost.Manson had been quite cocky just a while ago, but he was the Chief Staff Sergeant around these parts. He had a reputation of getting up to such antics, but no one dared to really cross him at all.Yet here he was, slapping his younger sister without hesitation. "Why did you hit me, Manny?" The flashy woman was utterly shell-shocked, holding her face with hurt written all over her eyes.She had lost the two teeth she had just gotten fixed today. After that, even her own brother slapped her twice. What on earth was happening?"B*tch! I told you to get on your knees and apologize to this man and his lady! And their parents too! Are you disobeying me?"Manson was especially furious. His sister was being so stupid! Could she still not read the situation?Everyone was once again blind-sided.Just a second a
"There should be a billion bucks in that card," Philip said mildly, raising his brow as he wore a confident smile. Wynn paused and stared at Phillip suspiciously, her heart pounding in her chest.After that, though, she rolled her eyes at him again and pinched his waist, berating him, "You're pulling my leg again, aren't you? If you really have a billion, I'll have to serve you for the rest of my life."Philip grinned at that and put his arm around Wynn's slender neck. "You said it, not me. Come on, let's make that an official contract."Wynn batted his arm away and scolded him with a laugh, "Alright, alright. So you insist you have a billion? Sheesh, you don't have to tell me if you don't want to. But you're not handwaving this off today. I demand an explanation once we get back."Wynn raised her brows and rolled her eyes at him.She did not believe that he really was a billionaire. To her, it was just Philip's idea of a joke.Even if he did tell her that his family ran Northe
Wynn stood up. Wearing a white blazer, heels, a presentable black lace blouse, and white slacks, she walked out of the VP’s office.“Mindy, I’m going out for a bit. Call me if you need me,” Wynn told her assistant, Mindy Scott.“Sure thing, Wynn. Oh, do you want to take my car?” Mindy was always so cheerful and full of smiles. She was adorable.Full of youth and vigor, she was.“Alright.” Wynn accepted Mindy’s car keys and headed to the carpark alone.She wanted to go to the bank and check how much money was in the card Philip gave her.More than anything else, she was simply curious.On the other end, Philip was just leaving a mall with a princess doll about half his height.Mila had insisted on it.As soon as he walked out of the door, though, he had barely taken a few steps before a flashy pink Porsche 911 swerved a beautiful 180 degrees and skidded to a halt right in front of Philip.“F*ck!”Philip resisted the urge to swear out loud. He walked around the car and tried t
As soon as she sent the text, Philip, who was still sitting in the car anxiously, received it.A glance told him that the sender was Yolanda.He straight-up ignored it.However, the messages kept coming in, pinging his phone over and over.He had no choice, so he picked up his phone and glanced at it. “Sugar Daddy, I’m not a conman. I’m Yolanda Lee, and here’s my ID and address. Please, lend me five thousand! It’s an emergency! I’ll definitely pay you back later!”The message came with Yolanda’s ID attached. It was a nice photo.Philip thought it over and suddenly decided to teach this Yolanda a lesson. He replied, “Why should I lend you the money? What’s in it for me?”Yolanda was quite exhilarated to receive his reply, but when she saw the contents of the message, she fell silent.After some hesitation, she bit her bright red lip and replied, “If you lend me the money, I’ll keep you company for a week. Every night if you want me to, and you can do whatever you like. I’ll retu
There was a generation gap between him and kids these days. He had no idea what they were thinking.“Hey, hold up. Did I say you could leave?” Melody put her hands on her hips and pointed at Philip with a huff.Philip had barely turned when a few young men and women poured out of the mansion. They were all dressed to the nines and clearly came from wealthy backgrounds. When they saw Melody, all of them beamed and waved at her. “Hey, Melody! We were waiting for you. Where did you go? You said you went to pick up a friend, right? Where are they? Introduce them to us.”“Anyone the great Miss Zander calls a friend must be impressive indeed.”“He’s not your boyfriend, is he? That would break poor Master Finn’s heart.”They spoke over each other, their arms over each other’s shoulders as they joked and laughed. They were the very picture of youthful energy.Melody glared at the boy with the baseball cap and blonde close crop. She berated him, “Frederick Kelly, could you lay off it al
