“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
George quickly replied, “Alright, Young Master. I’ll take care of this matter now.”After he said that, he hung up. George then started to busy himself with contacting people.However, after ten minutes, Philip still did not receive George’s phone call. He started to complain in his heart.George was never this slow before.When he was about to call him and ask about this, George beat him to it. His tone sounded helpless as he said, “Young Master, I can’t purchase Beacon Pharmaceutical.”Philip was shocked. He frowned and scolded, “What happened? Can’t you take down Beacon?”“Young Master, Beacon changed their chairperson half a month ago. Now, it belongs to Miss Chloe Sommerset.”George said. His tone sounded anxious.He really could not handle his young master’s debt in love.“Chloe? Why did she buy Beacon?”Philip was shocked. His eyebrows were knitted together tightly. Then, he understood.Was Chloe the culprit behind Beacon’s troubles?Was it because of Wynn?“Alright
Gentleman Tea Shop.Philip arrived early. He waited for about 20 minutes before a stylish woman walked in through the door.When Chloe saw Philip, her heart started racing. However, she forced herself to remain calm. She sashayed into the shop and approached Philip slowly. She sat down quietly and removed her sunglasses. Then, she looked at him calmly.“Have you waited long?” Chloe asked. Her voice was calm.“Not too long,” Philip replied. He looked at Chloe and saw that she was still as refined as ever.Even though Chloe looked calm on the surface, her heart was beating extremely fast. Her delicate hands under the table were grasping on her skirt tightly.She had not sat in front of Philip like this for a very long time.He was still so charming. An air of arrogance was coursing through his body.Other people could not detect this air around him, but Chloe could.They used to be the golden couple that everyone was jealous of. However, that was old news.“Tell me, how will yo
Wynn was shocked. She asked curiously, “You know?”Philip chuckled and said, “Yeah, I did it. I bought your company. You’re the chairwoman now, are you happy?”When Wynn heard this, she was taken aback. Then, she lifted her perfectly plucked eyebrows and said in a flirty tone, “Alright, thank you.”Wynn knew Philip liked to joke around. Her company was in a crisis and they needed 600 million in funds. How could Philip have helped her willy-nilly?“Never mind, I’m going back to work now. Did you visit Mila today?” Wynn asked.“Yeah, I’m on my way,” replied Philip. He was already in the hospital.He knew Wynn did not believe him.Whatever, then. He had more time to explain to her next time.Wynn grunted a reply and hung up after saying something.She sat in the chairperson’s office. She thought for a long while, but she still could not make sense of this.Was it really Philip?At this moment, she got a phone call from Joel. He said with a warm smile, “Wynnie, how’s your compan
’Is that Wynn Johnston? The previous beauty queen of the school has become such a golddigger.’‘Hehe, she has the appearance of an angel but a filthy heart. You’re calling her a beauty queen? How disgusting!’‘Yeah, women like Wynn will only lie to you all. She did a lot of disgusting things when she was in school. She loved stealing her best friend’s boyfriend. I think she has her eyes on a rich man now.’‘Poor Philip. Not only is he a spineless coward, but he’s being cuckolded now.’The mood of the group chat changed instantly. They were starting to criticize and denounce Wynn. They dug out all kinds of dark history and rumors about her.They were all made up by the women who were jealous of Wynn.At the same time, Philip gave Wynn a call. “Where are you?”Wynn and Joel had just arrived at Lover's Themed Restaurant. She purposely lowered her voice and said, “I’m in the office. I’m a bit busy. I’ll tell you everything when I get home.”After she said this, Wynn hung up the pho
When Joel saw that Philip was being stopped by the servers, he felt extremely pleased with himself.He was still a useless bum at the end of the day. Joel did not need to take action against him. Philip was not worth it.Alright, then. He would just let Wynn see how much of a worthless bum her husband was.The fat manager smiled flatteringly and said, “Mr. Harris, I’m sorry. I’ll kick this smelly beggar out now. I won’t disturb your meal.”After he said that, the fat manager shouted to the servers, “Why are you still standing here? Throw him out! If he dares to step foot inside, cripple him before throwing him out again. I’ll take responsibility if anything happens!”Joel looked at Philip who had been captured by the servers. He walked in front of him and scoffed. “Philip, do you know the difference between you and me now? I’m warning you to leave Wynn immediately. If not, I have a lot of ways to screw with you.”“Throw him out!”The fat manager knew his place. After Joel finish
Oh no!This entire street belonged to Tiger and that included this restaurant. Theo Zander’s properties were behind this shop as well.The fat manager was beyond terrified. In a blink of an eye, he turned into a turtle. He cowered in fear and stopped what he was doing.Theo scowled at the fat manager and yelled, “Get the f*ck over here!”The fat manager was trembling all over. He walked over to him.Slap, slap, slap!He slapped him four times continuously on the left and right sides of his cheeks. The fat manager started bleeding inside his mouth, and three of his teeth fell out!“You’re trying to throw Mr. Clarke out?”Tiger shouted and asked.“T-Tiger, no, it’s him… He’s disturbing the customers in the shop.”The fat manager looked at Philip and was puzzled. This man knew Tiger? What was going on?Plus, Tiger looked furious!“Shut up! Kneel!”Tiger flipped out and roared.Thud!The fat manager could not stand the fierce aura Tiger was radiating. He knelt almost immedia
After Wynn vomited in the restroom and washed her face, she walked out while feeling terrible. She forced out a smile and said, “It’s fine. I think the food I had for lunch is making me nauseous.”Philip nodded and grunted in acknowledgment. Then, he went into the room with her. Today, Mila was happy because her mommy and daddy were both here.Wynn was with Mila as she talked about her work with Philip. “Let’s treat Joel a meal to thank him someday.”“Why?” Philip asked in confusion.“He was the one who asked someone for help. He told me about it. Plus, there will be other pharmaceutical companies coming to work with us,” Wynn said. Even though she was reluctant, she did not have a choice. After all, he did help her.When Philip heard that, his face fell.Joel helped her?This idiot would really claim any credit he could. What did this have to do with him?“Do you really think he’s the one who helped you?” Philip asked.Wynn was taken aback. She said, “Who else could it be i
Anyone with any ideas could only shake their heads helplessly after hearing Philip’s remarks. At the same time, they were amazed by the ring’s function. “Wow, that’s great. The person who made this thing must be a genius!” Cameron clapped his hands excitedly. Of course, he was worried that someone would steal his treasure. After all, owning a treasure was a sin in itself. It was inevitable for others to covet his treasure. It would be bad if they attacked him because of greed. With Philip’s explanation, his trouble would be reduced. “That sounds amazing.” The patriarch of the Lamy family seemed dissatisfied. He had some crooked thoughts too. With their family’s financial resources, they could not buy so many rings, so he planned to steal the other two as well. He was not that stupid to steal from Philip, so he could only set his sights on the other major families. Everyone wanted the rings anyway. As long as he refused to admit it, no one would know that he was guilty.
It was too much to use half of the family's assets and properties in exchange for one storage space. “Are you sure about this? Do you know how much that would cost?” “The Lamy family must be crazy to go all out for this treasure!” Everyone complained helplessly. They might be in trouble if the Lamy family insisted on doing it this way. “I know you guys can’t afford it, so stop wasting your time. The Lamy family has made an offer. If you can up the price, go ahead. Don’t stop us from buying that treasure!” the patriarch of the Lamy family said smugly. He felt that his offer was high enough and no one could afford it, so this thing would definitely belong to him. Even Ronan was surprised by this development. He had heard of the Lamy family before. Ronan had worked for the Lamy family before, but their attitude toward him was the same as that of other families—indifferent and disdainful. Therefore, Ronan had the same bad impression about everyone. The Lamy family was not
Rather than saying that they were unwilling to believe it, it was more likely that they did not dare to believe it. Ronan calmly put the ring aside. “I'm wearing a ring that looks better than the ones you're about to get. Watch this.” After saying that, Ronan demonstrated to everyone what a real storage space could do. Anything he took in his hand vanished and appeared at will, which looked simply amazing. Everyone was jealous at this scene. They stared at Ronan’s hands nervously, trying to see if he was performing a magic trick or showing off the storage ring. After Ronan's many demonstrations, they finally confirmed that Ronan was not lying. Everything was true. Everyone exclaimed in amazement. “Wow, I can’t believe that I really saw a storage space in action!” “It’s amazing!” “I have to get hold of one!” Although Sadie had been dealt a heavy blow, she hid in a corner and observed the situation instead of leaving. She wanted to see how things would develop. When S
“Heh, look at those crazy family patriarchs. They can't wait to suck up to Ronan! Do you think they’ll question the Claude family after hearing about the storage space? They’ll only turn up in person to find out about it! “With so many of them putting pressure on us, what do you think we can do? Now, we may not even get that amazing storage space because there are too many people competing with us!” Cameron was furious and almost passed out in anger because of this stupid woman. Sadie scowled at the yard in disbelief as she realized that the crowd causing the commotion was the patriarchs of the other major families. She thought that they were servants sent by the families, but everything was different from what she imagined. “How did this happen? I planned everything perfectly. We just need to throw the wool over their eyes. Things shouldn't have turned out like this!” Sadie almost had a mental breakdown at this bad news. “No way. This is impossible…” Seeing the family
“Forget it. I won't talk to you anymore. I want to claim the credit for what I’ve done!” Sadie quickly turned and left. The butler wanted to stop her, but she vanished before he could say anything. In the end, he remained silent. “The plan really backfired on her. Unfortunately, she can only blame it on her bad luck.” The butler knew the situation the family was facing now. Their residence would probably be turned upside down. The Claude family could have owned a storage space, but everything was ruined now. Not only would they fail to get one, but others would also humiliate them! Sadie quickly arrived at the yard and rolled her eyes at the crowd. “Dad, over here!” Sadie beckoned her father excitedly as if she had great news for him. Cameron was very anxious at this point and wished he could find a solution. When Sadie called him, he thought his solution had appeared. He rushed over and looked at Sadie curiously. “What’s up? Is there any good news?” He was very excited
Everyone was excited to hear that Ronan had those legendary items. It was great. “Our family has to get one!” The patriarch of the Lamy family was the most excited. The members of this family had always been strong-headed and were determined to get it. The other families were unhappy to hear that. They were not that bad either, so they were annoyed by that high-handed remark. “All the major families are powerful in our own rights. I think there’s no need to conclude so quickly.” “I agree. I’m afraid you’ll hide and cry if you fail to get one. That'll be embarrassing.” “Even the major families are not confident about this. Who do you think you are to get it?” Everyone targeted the swell-headed Lamy family even though they were indeed big and powerful enough to steal the treasure from them. The Claude family was the most excited yet regretful. Instead of feeling happy that the families were bickering with each other, they were worried. Although the families were fighting
Besides, Philip mentioned that he would help Ronan make a name for himself. The storage rings that Philip provided were quite meager, with only 30 to 70 cubic feet of storage space each. However, that did not stop Ronan from admiring Philip. He knew that Philip had various treasures, but he was willing to share them with Ronan, which was too generous for words. To prevent Ronan from getting the short end of the stick, Philip also provided some common things for doing business. Due to this, Ronan wanted to serve Philip. In their world, the best way to express gratitude was to acknowledge the other party as their master. It was not only to seize the opportunity but also to find a good roof over their head. Thinking of this, Ronan did not dare to call Philip his brother anymore. Ronan decided to approach Philip at night and find a way to acknowledge him as his master so that he could serve Philip wholeheartedly. Philip had no idea about Ronan’s thoughts. He was still think
Everything Rabbit owned, including the storage space and various treasures, was given by Philip. So, Rabbit could come up with some amazing things for these people to please him. Rabbit felt very proud of this accomplishment. “Ahem, everyone, follow me! I know you’re eager to see Philip, but you have to follow the rules. Don't be as rude as the Claude family!” Rabbit said calmly. He was very unhappy with the Claude family. Hearing that, members of the Claude family were livid. They were shocked by Rabbit's words. He was deliberately putting them down! Those remarks were likely to affect their status among the major families. That off-handed tone might cause other major families to reject them. “I’m surprised that this family would be so arrogant and disrespect you!” “How could they treat that precious storage space so carelessly? I say, those people are too bold to disregard such a valuable treasure!” “This family is stupid and arrogant. Let's ignore them to avoid any ass
However, Cameron and his people were arrogant enough to lock Philip up. How dare they?! “Cameron, you went too far!” “I never knew that the Claude family were such people. I really misjudged you before. You’re really too much for treating such an amazing person that way.” Everyone pretended to be angry and kept speaking up for Philip, trying to please Rabbit and indirectly please Philip. Cameron was startled by Rabbit’s words, which easily landed him in trouble. “No, that's not exactly the case. I didn't lock Philip up but gave him a place to stay. How would I dare to lock up such a powerful person? You really think too highly of me.” However, Cameron’s explanation was useless. Everyone believed that Cameron locked Philip up on purpose, so they wanted to get him into trouble. Whether Cameron locked Philip up or treated Philip as a valuable guest, they wanted to ruin Cameron’s reputation. Once they got rid of Cameron, they could focus on pleasing Philip. “You must be
