The doctor removed his hand and smiled at Wynn benevolently. “Congratulations, you’re pregnant.”Pregnant!Wynn was pregnant!Wynn and Philip looked at each other. Wynn started to cry tears of joy as she hugged Philip. She said, “Philip, we have another baby. You’re going to be a father again!”Philip was stunned. Nonetheless, he came back to his senses and lovingly returned Wynn’s hug. He smiled, “We're going to have another child. Mila has either a brother or a sister now!”“Thank you so much, doctor.”Philip let go of Wynn and grabbed the doctor’s hands. There was a huge smile on Philip’s face as he thanked the latter profusely.The old doctor had seen the same scene too many times. He merely smiled and said benevolently, “Kid, take good care of your wife. I noticed that your wife is a little weak. From now on, don’t let her get too tired.”Philip quickly nodded in response and then helped Wynn back to the hospital room like a eunuch serving his empress.The two of them wat
Giada was tending to her plants inside the heavily-guarded Cirrus Villa.The man, standing five meters away from her, said humbly, “Madam, Miss Wynn is pregnant.”Giada stopped what she was doing and became extremely cold. She turned around and looked at the man. With an icy tone, she said, “Pregnant? When?”Giada frowned and the air around her became chilly as if she were an ice queen. She began to give out an aura of intimidation that could not be seen toward the people around her.“This morning,” the man answered with his head lowered.Giada folded her arms in front of her chest. Subsequently, she began pacing back and forth the reception pavilion anxiously.“Tell your people to bring that good-for-nothing back to me!” Giada said in an icy tone.Angry flames could be seen burning in her eyes.How dare she be pregnant with the flesh and blood of a Clarke. The audacity!Mila had been Giada’s last straw for Philip.There was no way she would let Philip off a second time.“Ye
The shopkeeper was a fat middle-aged man. He watched as the woman who was covered from head to toe entered his shop.Something to abort a baby?Such a thing was illegal!“No. No. We don’t have things like that,” the fat shopkeeper said immediately and resumed tending to the dried herbs that were on the table.Smack!Martha took out ten thousand bucks in cash from her bag and slammed it on the table. She asked coldly, “Do you have it or not?”The fat shopkeeper glanced at the money and frowned. He looked at the woman in front of him and insisted, “No, we haven't had such a thing for a long time. Take back your money.”Martha did not believe him. Thus, she took out another twenty thousand from her bag and slammed it down on the table. She asked, “Something to abort a baby. Do you have it or not?”To be honest, Martha felt something poke at her heart when she took out the extra stack of cash.Nevertheless, in order to make Wynn become Madam Harris, and in order to make sure that
“I’ll find a way to settle it. Prepare a present for me.”Philip said before walking out of the chairman’s office.The moment he left Apex Group, he bumped into Yolanda at its underground entrance.She was dressed like a vixen with the low cut top she had on. Additionally, her scent was very strong as she was wearing strong perfume. While she walked, her bottom that was perky swayed from one side to another.“Hey, are you blind?”Yolanda crashed headfirst into Philip, and she yelled angrily.“Philip, why are you here, you cuckold?”Yolanda lifted her head. Just as she was about to yell some more, she saw that it was Philip who was standing in front of her. Instantly, an evil smirk appeared on her face.Philip frowned, and he said coldly, “Do you not know how to speak properly?”Hehe.Yolanda played with her hair in a teasing manner as she scoffed. “What’s wrong? Your wife Wynn is doing immoral things, and you’re still playing dumb?”Philip was such a worthless fool. His wife
Wynn was almost about to start drinking the medicine, and Martha felt anxious and frantic as she watched on.After all, she was her own daughter.‘Wynnie, I am so sorry, but I don’t have a choice. You won’t have a good future with that worthless bum, Philip. Since you won’t abort the child, I’ll be the bad guy then!’Marta said callously in her heart.Still holding the bowl, Wynn was about to drink the medicine. However, just then, her phone rang.Wynn hesitated for a moment before placing the bowl down. Then, she looked at the caller ID and saw that it was from her company.“Mom, I’ll drink it later. I need to take this.”Wynn got up and walked out of the room to answer her phone.Martha was extremely anxious. She yelled, “Hey, Wynnie, drink this before you take the call.”Nevertheless, Wynn had already left.Martha was livid. She was so close.The next moment, Wynn came back. However, she merely grabbed her bag in a rush and kissed Mila before heading out once more.“Hey,
Naturally, their argument attracted the attention of many patients in the hospital and visiting families. They all gathered around to watch what was going on.Everyone could be seen pointing fingers and discussing loudly.“Oh, that must be the child’s grandmother. How devious!”“My heart is in pieces. How could that woman scold the child like that? I heard what she said just now. It was horrible!”“I recall the little girl’s parents to be nice people who are very friendly. How is it possible that they have such an evil mother?”Instantly, Martha felt as if she had been insulted.She was furious because everyone was pointing fingers and faulting her. Consequently, Martha walked up to the nurse and slapped her across the face. She yelled, “Who do you think you are? Are you even qualified to meddle in our family affairs? You’re just a nurse who my daughter and son-in-law hired. Don’t start feeling too proud of yourself, and don’t meddle in other people’s business. If not, I’ll slap
Anne was nervous. Hence, she said while she was being dragged by Philip, “Mr. Philip, it’s okay. I’m fine. She’s your mother-in-law after all. If you guys fight because of me, I’ll feel bad.”Despite feeling aggrieved, Anne knew her place.Martha was Mr. Philip’s mother-in-law after all. If they fought because of her, she would feel bad.She was just a child from a poor family. Her parents had told her that she had to endure every hardship thrown to her, and she could not fight with other people.Not to mention, Mr. Philip had always been good to her. She could not bear cause him any trouble.“It’s fine. Just listen to me. Even though she’s my mother-in-law, she can’t be allowed to be so unreasonable.”Philip comforted Anne. Even though he had managed to endure Martha for the past three years because of Wynn, he could not let the current matter go just like that.Martha had involved other people in her unreasonableness. How could Philip just let her be like that, showing her tem
Philip threw Martha’s hand aside and said coldly, “You’re indeed the one at fault this time. Anne is the nurse I hired, and you hit her for no reason. There’s no question that you have to take responsibility! It’s fine if you don’t want to. You can leave now. I’ll call the cops and let them handle this.”When Martha heard Philip say that he would call the cops, she was terrified.“You… You’re going to be the end of me! You spineless coward, how dare you threaten me!”Martha pointed at Philip angrily. She thought that a useless bum like him would not dare do anything. She had not expected him to be so unyielding.If he called the cops, she would be at a loss too.Apologize?Impossible!Martha started to throw a tantrum as she screeched unreasonably, “Why should I apologize? Why don’t you ask her why she got hit? I’m going to kill that little b*tch!”“Tell me then.”Philip looked at Martha coldly. He was ready to listen to her made-up stories.“She… She disrespected me in the h
Philip shrugged at Jamie’s words. “It's just a small matter. Whether you accept the challenge or not, it's not a big deal.” Every guild had to safeguard their dignity. They had to accept the challenge or they would be seen as cowards. Philip smiled. No matter what they decided, he had a bold idea. Jamie nodded thoughtfully at Philip’s words. After some deliberation, he said goodbye to Philip. He knew what he should do. Not long after Jamie left, the news that the Celestial Palace accepted the challenge spread. They adopted a tough stance, criticizing the actions of the Hexa Guild. All the major guilds knew what was going on, but they were surprised that the Celestial Palace was brave enough to make everything public, which was no different from exposing the other party’s crimes. The Hexa Guild finally revealed their true colors. The members were ashamed of being part of the Hexa Guild. The members of the Hexa Guild knew about Lincoln's stance and were worried, wondering
Alain would be doomed if Lincoln ignored him. “No way!” Alain panicked, horrified at this development. The whole guild might be at stake if Lincoln was unwilling to help him. “I've decided not to get involved in this case anymore. Deal with the mess you created yourself. Don’t expect my help.” Lincoln was very decisive about ignoring Alain. Hearing that, everyone was in despair. “Grandmaster, don’t do this to me!” Alain knew that he was doomed. He wanted to persuade Lincoln to help him, but it seemed hopeless. Lincoln waved his hand and turned away, unwilling to lay his eyes on Alain again. In his opinion, the biggest mistake was choosing such a person as the guild leader. It did not make sense for a guild to turn out this way. If Dennis had been in charge, everything would have been different. Left in the room, Hogster and Alain looked at each other, at a loss for what to do. They had thought that Lincoln would solve the problem for them, so they just did whatever th
Alain rushed over to Lincoln to boast about his plan. He knew that Lincoln would be proud of him after hearing it. However, Alain got a slap on his face before he could even speak. He stared at Lincoln blankly, wondering what just happened. “Why did you hit me?” Alain felt embarrassed and sorry for himself. After all, Hogster and many other guild members were around. At his age, it was unacceptable to be slapped in public for no reason. The onlookers backed away in fear, avoiding eye contact with Lincoln. The murderous gaze in Lincoln’s eyes was terrifying. “Why did I hit you? Don't you know why?” Lincoln trembled in anger at Alain’s reaction. This guy had no idea what he did wrong. “I saw Philip just now.” Lincoln stared at Alain, trying to read his thoughts. However, Alain was startled and confused. “In that case, you should've seen how scared he was. That’s what he gets for offending our guild!” Alain was excited and smug at the thought of Philip being scared out of hi
Although everyone was confused, they knew that despite his arrogance, Rabbit would not accuse someone for no reason. “I went out for a walk just now, and everyone is talking about the Hexa Guild declaring war on the Celestial Palace and Philip!” Hearing that, Lincoln nearly passed out. Since everyone was talking about it, it had to be true. He never dreamed that something like this would happen right after he left. “Old man, you need to tell us what’s going on. How dare you pretend to be a nice person in front of my boss? You must be tired of living!” Rabbit was very angry at this hypocrite and wanted to yell at him. Lincoln grimaced and shook his head. He had no idea what was going on either. “I'm really sorry. Let me get to the bottom of this. If everything is true, I owe you and the Celestial Palace an explanation!” After learning about the whole incident, Lincoln knew that the Hexa Guild was at fault for everything. He felt embarrassed by this. “Sure, I’ll wait for your
Just when they thought that Rabbit would lose his temper, Rabbit laughed. “I can’t believe that the Hexa Guild is bold enough to mess with us. You gave me good news and for that, I’ll reward you handsomely!” Rabbit said with a smile. He took out a bottle of wine and handed it to the storyteller who gave him the news. It was a very precious item. The storyteller was shocked by Rabbit’s generosity. He ran to the side with the wine and started drinking it. At his level, there was no way he could finish the wine by himself. Overconsumption would lead to self-combustion, resulting in a loss rather than a gain. However, he had to drink some before someone stole it from him. The others looked at him enviously as he drank the wine, regretting not being the first person to tell Rabbit the news. The news had spread long ago, but they did not seize the opportunity and missed the wine. After Rabbit found out more details, he left, knowing full well that everyone was on his side now.
Jamie was surprised by Philip’s easygoing reaction and immediately felt the gap between him and Philip. If Jamie were in Philip’s shoes, he would be worried, but Philip was confident instead. Jamie had a lot to learn from Philip. Jamie had no idea that Philip did not take Dennis seriously at all. Philip had too many capable people under his command. He was not concerned about Dennis at all. In comparison, Dennis could be considered the most useless person under him.… On the other hand, Rabbit arrived at the market. Rabbit was quite famous among the major families by now. As a non-human with a violent temper, he was in the center of attraction wherever he went. Someone tried to kidnap Rabbit once, but not only did he fail, but the person was also beaten badly. To this day, the kidnapper was still bedridden in the hospital. Rabbit’s notorious reputation had spread far and wide, and not just anyone could deal with him. At this time, many storytellers were at the tavern tal
People in seclusion would usually not receive any news from the outside world, so contacting them would be up to luck. Therefore, Lincoln's appearance was good news for the Hexa Guild. Now that the guild was under scrutiny, Lincoln's appearance would save them a lot of trouble. Lincoln stood on the spot, looking at the yard curiously. Philip had modified the yard, so it was full of energy. Any practitioner would feel the difference at once. Jamie and the others had discovered this fact but never asked out of courtesy. Everyone had their own secret. Maybe this was Philip’s secret. Lincoln closed his eyes and felt the abundant energy. He was reluctant to leave this place that contained tens of thousands of times more energy than the place he had chosen for his seclusion. Lincoln felt conflicted. He could practice much faster in this place if the energy level remained the same. Thinking of this, he could hardly contain his excitement to practice on the spot. Seeing Jamie nex
Lincoln had never met a monster beast with intelligence! After taking a closer look at Rabbit, Lincoln had other ideas. Philip was most likely a powerful person with extraordinary strength to have such a powerful monster beast as his pet. Dennis was not a fool. Philip had to be powerful and not a coward for Dennis to willingly follow him. Thinking of this, Lincoln showed Rabbit enough respect. “Mr. Rabbit, I’m looking for Dennis from the Hexa Guild.” The guild members behind him were full of disbelief at his courtesy. They had served him for a while and knew his character very well. Lincoln would never be so polite to ordinary juniors, so this rabbit had to be unusual. Thinking of this, their attitude toward Rabbit changed from disdain to admiration. Rabbit was shocked by their eccentric behavior and looked at them skeptically. Seeing their smiling faces, Rabbit decided not to make things difficult for them. Besides, they were polite. “Oh, you’re looking for Dennis. Come
This guild member could not forget how Hogster had always stolen his resources by force. Hogster’s ugly face made him sick. Although Lincoln was back, he had lost all confidence in the guild. He just wanted to return to Dennis' side as soon as possible. Although he was a member under the guild leader, Dennis was the one who had been helping him all along. In fact, if not for Dennis’ support over the years, even Alain would not have achieved what he had today. Hence, this guild member had always been grateful to Dennis. When Dennis left, he wanted to leave with him, but due to special circumstances, he stayed until now. Unexpectedly, it came in handy. Alain was excited to hear that. In Alain's opinion, such a lowly member would not dare to lie to him, so he had to be telling the truth. He knew that this was his chance to settle everything once and for all. Alain had been worried that Lincoln would blame him, but Lincoln was deceived instead, which was great. He had nothing t
