After saying this, Patriarch Crawford looked very grave. All the Northern family heads present also put on a united front. After a while, Philip got up and said, “It seems that you’ve made up your mind.” Patriarch Crawford smiled without comment and looked at Philip indifferently. Philip also stared at Patriarch Crawford and said, “Patriarch Crawford, since you want to take the lead, let’s start with you.” Hearing this, Patriarch Crawford was taken aback for a moment. He scowled and said, “What do you mean?” Philip smiled wickedly and said, “What do I mean? You’ll find out later.” At this moment, the meeting room door was pushed open again. A tall female assistant ran in breathlessly and shouted, “Patriarch Crawford, it’s bad! Something has happened!” Hearing that, Patriarch Crawford turned around with a chill in the corners of his eyes and stared at the female assistant’s heaving chest. He asked coldly, “It’s such a disgrace for you to be running and shouting like th
The tide had turned. The outcome had been decided! Philip glanced at Anton, patted him on the shoulder, and said, “Very good. You’ll get what you want.” Hearing this, Anton was so excited that he knelt and shouted to express his loyalty, “The Jones family swear our allegiance to you and will serve you to the death!” When the other heads saw Anton kneeling, they hesitated. When Philip looked over, most of them knelt. “We await Mr. Clarke’s order!” The shouts continued endlessly. However, some stubborn people remain standing. They looked angrily at the kneeling heads and yelled, “You guys are shameful! A disgrace! How did the Northern disciple families turn out this way?” Philip looked at those people with admiration. He said, “Patriarchs, I admire your courage to remain standing. To be honest, I hold no grudge against the Northern disciple families, nor do I want to cause any grudges. Merging the North and the South will be of great benefit to the North. I don't kn
Speaking of Grant Lovelace, Philip asked, “By the way, when my wife went to Cherry Villa the last time, what did she take with her?” The relationship between Philip and Wynn had been made known to Leon. Leon also knew that Grant was Philip’s father-in-law. Leon frowned and said, “It was something Grant brought back from the stargate back then. It’s said that it can reveal a secret, but no one knows what secret it is. “If the legend is true, there should be four of these things in total. Grant got one, and the other three should be in the hands of three of the remaining people back then. “If these four things reveal their secrets at the same time, it’ll cause drastic changes. “Patriarch Clarke, your father, Roger Clarke, once predicted that the secrets behind these four things implicated too much. Besides, they could not be opened with their strength at that time. So, the four items have always been kept by them.” Hearing this, Philip frowned. Four items, four secrets.
Hearing this, Philip nodded and said, “Tell me if you have any news. The fact that Fitzgerald Hale isn’t dead is very important! “By the way, what’s the situation with Christian Clarke and the branch family?” Philip asked. Tango smiled and said, “Young Patriarch, the branch family has been quite well-behaved recently. Christian is still under detention in the memorial hall. Without the lord’s permission, he can’t leave. After all, the entire branch family is now under the lord’s control. If Christian insists on coming out, the entire branch family will go down with him. So, Christian won’t do anything rash for the time being, but…” While saying that, Tango looked a little hesitant. “Go on,” Philip said. Tango said, “Levi Clarke, the new chieftain of the branch family has been up to some things recently. But since he’s the chieftain of the branch family, I have no right to interfere. I can't do anything to him.” Hearing that, Philip nodded and said, “Okay, I’ll get someone t
Looking at the record, it seemed that Levi met a mysterious person recently and started secret activities in the dark against Philip and Riverdale. “Who is this person that Levi met?” Philip frowned. There were videos and photos in the chip, but they were blurry due to the far distance. The other party deliberately concealed his identity, so he could not tell at all. Huff! Philip exhaled and felt a headache. The branch family had not given up on the main family yet. After thinking about it, Philip dialed a number and said, “Arrange some members of the Legion of the Sovereign to be stationed in Riverdale. In addition, transfer some of them to Fernvale. After they arrive, await my orders.” “Yes, sir!” A gruff male voice came from the other end of the phone. After ending the call, Philip took his mobile phone and paced around the hall. He made another call and said, “Old George, is Uncle Tim still on Arcadia Island?” On the other end of the phone, George Thomas’ respec
The middle-aged man at the end of the four main seats was none other than Cynthia’s father, Hogan Larson. Hogan was ranked the fourth in the family and the half-brother of Silva. Hogan was not well-received in the Larson family and was far away from the power center, only holding the title of Fourth Master. The fourth branch of the Larson family had always been weak and gentle. It was because of Hogan’s gentle way of running the household that other members of the Larson family had ideas about them. Facing the members of the fourth branch, the other three branches always put on an air of superiority and targeted them both overtly and covertly. However, due to Hogan’s status as Fourth Master, the other three branches still held back and did not go too far. Nevertheless, Cynthia’s marriage this time was personally facilitated by the head of the Larson family and left no room for refusal from the fourth branch. Even if Cynthia went on hunger strike as a sign of objection,
After Hogan had left, Zayn Larson and Nash Larson sneered and said, “Hogan must still be angry with us.” Silva frowned and said, “Ignore him and just make sure that things are ready. Two days later, Cynthia must marry into the Berry family in style.” “Yes, Silva.” Zayn and Nash nodded in response. The meeting was adjourned. At this moment, in the vicinity of the Larson family’s fourth branch, a small villa was closely guarded by bodyguards in black suits. Hogan stood in front of the villa and raised his eyes to look at the villa. He smiled at the bodyguards guarding the door and said, “I want to see my daughter.” However, the bodyguards reached out to stop Hogan and said, “Fourth Master, I'm sorry. The patriarch has ordered that without his patriarch’s token, no one is allowed to approach this villa.” Hearing that, Hogan’s face flushed red in anger as he clenched his fists. This was too far! However, Hogan had no choice. He stood at the door for a long while befor
Smack! This slap landed on Cynthia’s face squarely. Cynthia’s cheeks turned red immediately with a conspicuous mark. Cynthia’s beautiful eyes were full of anger, but she could only glare at Zinnia without a word. Zinnia was the youngest daughter of Zayn, the favorite daughter. No matter what Zinnia did in the Larson family, no one would dare to speak up. She was a young lady born with a silver spoon in her mouth, very arrogant and domineering. Many servants in the Larson family were crippled by Zinnia in her anger. When she saw Cynthia glaring at her at this moment, Zinnia slapped her again and shouted, “How dare you stare at me?! I'll beat you to death! Let's see how you can glare at me again!” Smack! However, Zinnia’s slap fell short. The delicate arm raised in the air was grabbed by Cynthia. Zinnia shuddered, not expecting Cynthia to fight back at all. “How dare you fight back?!” Zinnia exclaimed in surprise. Cynthia pushed Zinnia’s arm away and the latte
