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
Slap!The sound of a slap reverberated across the entire corridor!Philip swung his hand down and forcefully slapped Martha across the face!The mistreatment and grievance he had endured throughout the past three years were all compressed into this one slap. It was enough to send Martha flying to the floor!“Ah!”Martha shrieked loudly as she clutched her face. She looked at Philip in disbelief and yelled in anger, “Y-Y-You! How dare you slap me? Philip Clarke, you’re insane! How dare a piece of trash like you slap me! I am your mother-in-law!”Martha was going to explode from anger!How dare a spineless good-for-nothing hit her?He was rebelling against her!Did Philip want to die?Did he want to get out of her family?Martha was gritting her teeth in anger. Additionally, her face was in excruciating pain after being slapped. Martha got up from the floor and pointed at Philip before she started yelling and shoving him furiously, “Philip! I want my daughter to divorce you! 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
