Martha started to panic. She rubbed her eyes furiously. She wanted to go and take a closer look.Her eyesight was not that good, so she was scared that she might just be seeing things.“Hey, why are you running around on your own? You can’t see this! Get out now!”Suddenly, a tall and slender maid stormed in and stood in front of Martha. She brought her out and shut the door of the room.This was the master bedroom. How could she barge in on her own?This woman was so full of herself. How dare she wander around on her own.She told Martha she could only visit the first floor. The second floor was forbidden!Martha did not have the chance to give the wedding photo another glance before she was pushed out. She was being kept on tenterhooks.“I’m sorry, I was lost.” Martha explained timidly.The maid peered at her coldly and mumbled, “Go downstairs now. Your friends are waiting for you downstairs.”Martha could not do anything more, so she went downstairs. She ran into Barb and
“Mom, I really…”“Enough! Shut up, why are you still lying?”Martha was mad. This useless guy was still lying about this? “Right, come back for a while. There’s going to be a guest in the house. Come back and act as the supporting role.”After she said that, Martha hung up the phone. She slammed the phone down on the coffee table with her cheeks puffed in anger.“What’s wrong? Did Philip make you upset again?” Charles asked after noticing the changes in Martha’s expression.“That wretched bum is still lying to me. He said he bought a house at Longford Park. You have no idea, the mansions over there cost at least 35 million! Is he crazy? How can he say something like this?”Martha gritted her teeth in anger.Charles shook his head helplessly. He sighed and asked all of a sudden, “Will you move there if he has really bought a house at Longford Park?”Martha was taken aback. She frowned and pointed at the door after getting up. She shouted, “He’s just a worthless piece of trash. H
At first glance, one would think that they were newlyweds who had not seen each other for a long time.Wynn was shocked. She patted Joel gently and said, “Alright, Joel.”After that, the two of them separated. Joel was still looking at Wynn amorously.Wynn was blushing. She looked like a submissive little woman.Philip got even more angered when he saw this. What the hell was that?His wife was acting like a submissive little woman in front of another man?“Philip, you’re here too?”Wynn was startled when she saw Philip standing in the kitchen. She kept a distance from Joel and lowered her head. She was embarrassed.Oh no!What should she do now? Was Philip mad at her for being like this?Oh no!Wynn was so ashamed right now.Joel was taken aback. Eventually, he understood that Philip was not a male housekeeper. He asked, “Wynnie, who is he?”Wynn placed a strand of her hair behind her ears and walked toward Philip. She smiled and introduced, “Joel, this is my husband, Phi
Philip frowned and looked at Wynn. He asked, “Why didn’t you tell me your company is in trouble?”Wynn was feeling frustrated today too. She was especially mad at Philip’s attitude toward her just now. She said coldly, “You can’t do anything about it anyway.”Philip frowned. He knew Wynn was mad at him.The two of them continued to stand like this, and the icy vibe started to spread across the room. No one wanted to give in.“Don’t worry, I’ll help you,” Philip pondered for a while and said after surrendering.After all, she was his wife.However, when he said that, Martha jeered while guffawing. “Can’t you just shut up? Why are you still lying? Can you even help Wynn with the problem in her company? Who do you think you are?”Joel shook his head and smiled helplessly. He finally understood what kind of man Wynn’s husband was.He was a liar, and Aunt Martha did not like him.How did this piece of trash marry Wynn?At that moment, Joel swore that he would steal Wynn away from
The living room plunged into silence.Joel was the first to burst out laughing. He shook his head helplessly. He was looking down on Wynn’s husband even more now.How hilarious!This good-for-nothing had bought a company for ten million bucks?If that was the case, with Aunt Martha’s snobby attitude and feisty temper, she would be treating him like he was her own son!Martha was taken aback. Her face fell immediately. She picked up a book on the table and threw it at him. She pointed at the door and yelled, “Get out! You shameful thing! You never do anything properly and only know how to lie! Aren’t you ashamed of yourself? I feel ashamed for you even if you’re not.”Philip did not want to explain anymore. His mother-in-law would never believe him.Martha pulled Joel out the door and insisted he took Philip to the interview.With no choice, the four of them sat in Joel’s Porsche and drove to Hodgson Pharmaceutical.“Joel, your car must be pretty expensive, right?”Martha got
This young man in the photo was the one who caused the bankruptcy of Hutten Pharmaceutical Factory and the downfall of the Logans.When Vernon found out about the truth, he was beyond shocked!He must get to know this powerful person.If he could destroy one pharmaceutical factory, he could destroy another.Vernon was scared of his future.“Where is he?”“I think Mr. Harris brought them to the human resources department.”“Hurry, come with me!” Vernon knew the importance of this.The two of them ran to the human resources department.Back in the office of the HR manager.“Boris, help me out. This is my Aunt Martha’s son-in-law. He wants to see if there are any vacancies in our company. Please arrange something for him.”Joel sat on the sofa with a cup of tea. A man with a pointy face and puffed cheeks was standing in front of him respectfully.He was the manager of the human resources department, Boris Bauer.Boris respected Joel a lot. The company spent a lot of money to
Vernon glared at Boris the moment he entered the room. The latter was scared as a sinner in church. He did not even dare to breathe too loudly.“Sir, is there anything I can help you with? You can just tell me. You didn’t have to come here on your own.”Boris had a smile on his face as he bowed even lower.“Why? Do I have to report my every move to you?”Vernon’s face was dark as he looked at Boris.“Ah, no, no. You’ve misunderstood me, Sir. I mean…”Boris was so scared that he wanted to kneel on the ground. What was wrong with the chairman today? He was so angry!“Stop talking nonsense! I’m asking how did you treat this man over here? Did you offer this man a job as a watchdog?”Vernon interrogated Boris sternly. Was this guy dumb?How dare he ask a young master from a prestigious family to become a watchdog for their company?Was he asking for death?He would not be able to compensate Philip even if he owned a few Hodgson Pharmaceuticals.As he was yelling, Vernon looked
“Hello Mr. Clarke, this is my name card. I’ve heard some things about Hutten Pharmaceutical.”Vernon said frankly. He did not plan to hide.When Philip heard that, he finally understood. He nodded and asked, “What do you want from me?”Vernon almost screamed out in excitement. He said, “You’re misunderstanding me, Mr. Clarke. I just want to get to know you.”Philip smiled and said, “Alright, I’ll take your name card. I’ll look for you when I need anything. Of course, you can look for me too if anything arises. You’re not too bad.”When he heard Philip praising him, Vernon felt like he had just eaten a spoonful of honey. He nodded his head and bowed.After a while, the group of them left Hodgson Tower.After they got out, Wynn grabbed Philip and asked curiously, “Do you know the chairman of Hodgson?”Philip shook his head. “No,” he said.Wynn wanted to ask something else, but Martha started to urge them impatiently. “What are you doing? Get into the car.”Wynn stopped asking a
When Sienna was still a young and innocent girl back then, she was very excited to share an amazing pill she found with her husband, but he tricked her and stole it from her. When Sienna realized that her husband had eaten the pill, she sealed the pill’s medicinal properties with powerful means so it was useless even though he had taken the pill. Therefore, when Sienna saw the snake’s body earlier, she knew that the pill’s medicinal properties were still intact without being consumed yet. It was a blessing in disguise, and her hard work paid off. “Hehe, Philip actually thought I was a devoted lover. He has no idea how important this corpse is to me. Speaking of which, I have to thank that fool.” Sienna’s initial plan was to recover her strength with the Binary Herb, but getting this corpse produced the same effect, so Sienna was very excited. Sienna laughed wildly as she felt her strength recovering rapidly. Mason huddled in the corner quietly for fear that Sienna would e
Seeing the snake carcass, Sienna was dumbfounded. She could not believe that she would see her husband's corpse here. “What's going on? How did things turn out this way?” Sienna was very agitated and grabbed Philip in disbelief. “Where did you see him? Why was he cut in half? What's going on? Tell me!” Philip was surprised by Sienna’s emotional outburst. “I thought you were looking for the Binary Herb to save your husband,” Philip said with a smile. He did not sympathize with Sienna. Both snakes were up to no good. Even if they had a good relationship, they lived in vain. “I knew that someone locked him up but I didn’t know it was in that mysterious sea. I’d have saved him in person if I’d known about it!” Sienna said mournfully. Philip looked at Sienna doubtfully. He felt that her behavior was not normal. She must be up to no good. “So, what do you want to do now? Aren't you here to find the Binary Herb?” Aslan suddenly appeared and scoffed. He did not have a good im
Yule knew he was not worthy to get involved in this matter but he wanted a share of the pie. He was uncomfortable with this uneasiness. “You need to improve your strength and stop being so cowardly. Although I don't know what it takes to enter that world, your current level is obviously not going to cut it. Improving yourself is a means of protecting yourself.” Philip did not put it so explicitly because he had a good impression of Yule. If Yule could improve himself, Philip did not mind taking him along. Lyle and the others had no worries. As Philip's subordinates, they had the right to follow him. Philip was surprised by this unexpected gain and could not wait to deal with the snake monster now. Since Sienna tried every means to find the Binary Herb, she must have a way to recover her strength. Otherwise, she could not use the herb even if she got it. At this time, Mason returned in a miserable state. He never dreamed that Philip could defeat him so easily. Philip was
“By the way, my name is Marina. You can call me Her Highness Princess Mermaid.” Philip did not take the mermaid’s introduction seriously. He was not a lapdog and would not call her by her title. Calling her by name was good enough for her. “If I help you open the portal to the world of the gods, what can I get out of it? As a businessman, I value profit very much. I don't mind helping you if I can profit from it,” Philip said with a smile. Philip knew that he picked up the key to the world of the gods earlier. In that case, he had to take this negotiation seriously and get as much as he could from Marina. Marina's eyes widened upon hearing this, surprised that Philip found the key to the world of the gods. “Did you find the key after going to the lifeless sea?” Marina's hands trembled with excitement. Philip nodded calmly and took out a blue stone from his pocket to prove his words. Nothing was better proof than the stone. Marina was ecstatic. “That’s great. Since you f
“Ugly woman, don’t forget who saved you. Besides, you’re so seriously injured that I don’t think you have much backing behind you. Do you really want to oppose us? If things come to a fight, we’ll make sure to take you down first!” Aslan was smart and knew that this mermaid was a force to be reckoned with, but he was more aware that he had nothing to fear if she wanted to use force against them. Even if the so-called gods invaded, the worst outcome would be death for all parties. Before they died, they would drag as many people as they could with them, which was everyone's usual way of doing things. “You!” The mermaid was so angry that she wanted to kill someone but she was too weak to do anything. “Stop trying to infuriate us. We don't mean to hurt you. You don't have to be so harsh,” Philip said calmly, wondering why she was so cranky. “Hmph!” The mermaid snorted without another word, unwilling to speak to Philip. Philip smiled helplessly at her snort. “Why don't yo
“You’re right. The mermaid is such a mysterious creature. How can anyone cure its poison?” Stanley smiled wryly, feeling sorry for himself. “Philip, you have to find a way to save my father. I’ll do anything for you if you can save him!” Yule grabbed Philip’s shoulders with agitation. He begged Philip and almost knelt at his feet. In Yule's opinion, Philip was an omnipotent and powerful existence. There was nothing he could not do. Likewise, Aslan and the others shared the same thought. Therefore, they were surprised when Philip said that he could not save Stanley. Philip sighed. In the past, he had been to places of a lower civilization where the natives were not very strong. He could do whatever he wanted and no one could do much to him even if they wanted to. However, Philip was not familiar with places of a higher civilization. Even Rabbit only knew a little and was hesitant to speak. Hence, Philip was not confident he could save Stanley. “Maybe that creature came fro
“Let’s stop making wild guesses and wait for Yule's father to explain. This creature doesn’t belong to this continent, so no one knows what’s going on.” Philip reached out and gently touched the scales in amazement. He felt that something was wrong with this mermaid. With that touch, he found that the mermaid’s scales were better than those of a dragon. Philip once found a dragon scale by chance, but the dragon scale was not as tough as the mermaid's scales. Moreover, the mermaid's scales could change into various shapes, which was amazing. “If the scales are used to make a weapon, it’ll definitely be the best treasure. Not only can it attack and defend, but also…” Before Philip could finish his words, he heard Yule's father coughing violently. He seemed in pretty bad shape. “Rascal, go and look at the fish. She’s not an ordinary fish but a mermaid I found by chance! According to ancient records, there are many similar creatures in the world of the gods, and they're a force
Almost everyone knew about the condition of Yule's father, and most of them were there to watch the fun. When Yule and the others appeared, some people could not wait to start taunting him. “Oh, you’re such a good son. Your father is already in this state, but you’re still in the mood to fool around outside. You should start preparing for your father’s wake!” “The miracle doctor has given a diagnosis, saying that your father has only a few more days to live. Stop wasting time and start preparing for the funeral!” Everyone mocked Yule, who was respected simply because of his father’s position. Now that Yule's father was dying, no one wanted to show him that respect anymore. Some people even planned to steal things from Yule’s house! With no one else to back him up, everyone thought that Yule did not deserve to stay in that luxurious house anymore. Hearing everyone’s taunts, Yule was so angry that he trembled all over, but now was no time to argue. He had to find out his fath
Very soon, everyone left the King’s Ruins. Philip had taken care of the danger, so they just had to collect the treasures. Yule and his team were grateful to Philip and flattered him along the way. After all, they would not have been able to leave the place alive so easily if not for Philip. The King’s Ruins were still dangerous even though they did not face any monsters head-on. They knew they managed to avoid most dangers because of Philip. At this moment, Yule’s communicator vibrated. Only his close family members had his contact, so Yule immediately felt a bad premonition. He walked to the corner with the communicator and spoke anxiously. It seemed that he had encountered some big trouble. Philip waited for Yule to return to the team without a word. Ten minutes later, Yule returned to the team. He looked very depressed as if he had encountered a big problem. Philip noticed his reaction but did not take the initiative to approach him. He knew that Yule would approach h
