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
No, she could not allow it. Anne knew Mr. Philip was not from a wealthy family.Additionally, from what she had observed that day, he did not have a high status in his family.She could not accept the money.Nevertheless, Philip stopped her. He chuckled and said, “Why are you being so courteous with me? If you don’t accept the money, I’ll fire you.”Fire her?Anne was shocked. She could not lose her job. Pressing her lips together, Anne bit them and bowed as she thanked Philip repeatedly, “Thank you, Mr. Philip.”Philip did not say anything.In the evening, Philip went out looking for Anne and found her in the garden on a phone call. The latter was crying.“What’s wrong, Anne?” Philip walked over to her and asked in concern.Anne hung up the phone and wiped away her tears. She said, “I’m fine.”Philip knew that the young woman was very stubborn. After all, she refused to tell him anything. Hence, Philip sat down and glanced at her phone. On her lock screen, he saw a cute, lit
Martha was roughly being pushed into a cafe.She was enraged. She pointed at the mountainous men in black at the entrance and yelled, “Who are you people? Let me out now! If not, I’ll call the cops! This is kidnapping, and it’s illegal!”Martha felt extremely guilty, and her hands were shaking uncontrollably. Nevertheless, she knew she could not show any signs of weakness. She had to be strong.On the other hand, the two men in black who were blocking the door pretended to not hear her as they stood still in silence.They did not budge no matter how much Martha pushed them.Martha began to panic. She did not know where she was nor who they were. Where was she?At this moment, a graceful and sumptuous woman walked into the cafe. There were seven to eight bodyguards behind her. One could instantly tell that she was someone powerful after seeing this.Additionally, her presence caused the temperature of the cafe to fall by a few degrees. It became terrifyingly cold.Martha felt as
When Charles returned and saw Martha, he was horrified. “Honey, what happened? Who beat you up?”Charles helped Martha into the house. He was heartbroken after seeing the state she was in.Thus, Charles immediately busied himself with fetching Martha ice packs and rolling hard-boiled eggs on her bruises.Martha was fuming as she sat on the sofa. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.She did not even know any Giada Wallis. Why had the latter beaten her up?“What happened? Who made your face like this?”Charles was heartbroken. After all, this was the wife he had shared the same bed with for the past 20 years.“Who else? It was your wonderful son-in-law, Philip! Why? Do you dare call him here and teach him a lesson?”Martha was seething. She was now talking without thinking. At the end of the day, she despised Philip after what had happened. When Charles heard that, he exploded from anger. He had changed his outlook on Philip. However, he was not expecting that
Martha’s face fell. She pointed at Philip and yelled, “Look! This is how he apologizes! If he doesn’t kneel today, I will never accept his apology!”Martha sat on the sofa coldly, turning a deaf ear to everything. Evidently, her attitude was horrible.She had thought it through anyway. She was planning on releasing all of her pent up anger on Philip that day.How dare that spineless coward slap her at the hospital?Charles was livid. He pointed at Philip and shouted, “Listen to your mother! Kneel and apologize! You’re such a rebel!”Wynn’s head was beginning to hurt. She had not expected Martha to be so unreasonable. “Mom, can you stop being so irrational? You know what happened. Do you want me to say it out loud?”When Martha heard that, she was terrified. Had Philip told Wynn everything?“What do you mean, Wynnie? Are you going to side with an outsider now? I’m your mother! How can you speak to me like that?”Martha did not care anymore as she continued being irrational and s
Wynn could no longer stand it. Hence, she grabbed Anne and asked, “Annie, tell me the truth, what happened in the hospital? Why did my mother hit you, and why did Philip hit my mother?”Anne lowered her head, and Martha glared at her deviously. Anne then saw Philip hinting at her with his eyes. Nevertheless, she could not hold it in anymore. Thus, she clenched her fists and pointed at Martha as she said, “It was her. She beat Mila. I couldn’t stand it so I went over and argued with her. Then, she started attacking me. Mr. Philip slapped her twice because he wanted to stand up for me.”Twice?Wynn was puzzled. She looked at the bruises on her mother’s face. Had they all been caused by two slaps?There had to be something more behind it.Nonetheless, Wynn did not care anymore. That was because Anne said that her mother had beaten Mila!It infuriated her. “Mom, why did you beat Mila? Isn’t Mila your granddaughter?”Wynn started to cry out of anger. Her mother had never liked Mila
If Philip was at fault, Lincoln had nothing to say. However, if Hogster was the one who had caused all the trouble, he would not spare them. “I’ll get to the bottom of this. Now, tell me what’s going on with Dennis. Based on my understanding of him, he wouldn't betray the guild for no reason. He must have a reason for doing this!” Neither of them could explain what happened to Dennis. They could only say that humans were fickle. After all, they could not figure it out either. The person at fault would never admit their fault. Alain did not think that he was biased or thought that what he had done was excessive. He simply thought that Dennis looked down on him, which was why he decided to leave. Now that he was gone, Alain could say whatever he wanted, and Dennis could not defend himself. Thinking of this, Alain was very excited. He began to defame Dennis and shifted the attention away from him and his son. Lincoln scowled as he listened. Then, he returned to his room and summ
Alain was helpless. Although he had a lot to say, he could not do anything in front of Lincoln. Lincoln was stronger than him in every aspect, a force to be reckoned with. He was not someone Alain could deal with. Alain looked at Lincoln awkwardly. He wanted to appease his anger but did not know what to say. “You need to explain this to me. Why did Dennis leave? And I want to know why the guild’s reputation has become so bad. Did you do something wrong?”Lincoln heard that Dennis had been expelled and could no longer stay in the guild. Many people supported Dennis, so they were upset with Alain and tried to defame him. Hearing that, Alain knew that someone must have been talking behind his back, but he did not dare to lose his temper. He forced a smile and looked at Lincoln in a flattering manner. Before he could find an excuse, Hogster rushed over excitedly and said to his father, “Father, guess what I did to Philip? Hehe!” Hogster recounted his handiwork smugly without p
It had been years since the grandmaster went into seclusion for practice. He was not concerned about power. He once mentioned that he would not leave his seclusion unless he reached the top. Hence, no one expected to see him. “Grandmaster, you appeared at the right time. We would've been in trouble if you didn't come out!” “That’s right. Everyone is bullying us. Now that you’re out, you can help us.” Everyone complained about their grievances, feeling sorry for themselves. The Hexa Guild was in trouble, and they faced various problems too. All the major guilds were keeping a close eye on the Hexa Guild, waiting to see them make a fool of themselves. The Celestial Palace planned to destroy the Hexa Guild instead of letting them off. They could not accept the initial setup, so they decided to erase the Hexa Guild from existence. Hence, the Hexa Guild had been under great pressure, with the members wishing that someone could help them. Unexpectedly, a strong expert appeared.
Ronan was his buddy, and his wife's reputation was at stake. Philip could not stand idly by. He had to help. Jamie was very fast at ordering his people to make the matter public. No one expected another dramatic turn of events. Everyone thought that the young lady of the Celestial Palace was an unchaste woman for making that decision. Unexpectedly, the Celestial Palace found a way to solve the side effects of their technique. All the major guilds were in trepidation. Although the Celestial Palace’s technique was very powerful, the side effects reduced its allure. Now that that problem was solved, everything was different. On top of that, the holy maiden and other members of the guild showed their appearance in public. Regardless of gender, everyone was beautiful without any markings on their faces. After seeing this scene, everyone knew that the Celestial Palace was about to make a comeback. Carlos was very excited and thought that Vanna was a lucky star to bring so many
After reading the letter, Alain trembled in anger, shocked that two of his strongest members would choose to leave the guild at such a critical time. Their departure was no joke. The guild could lose the guild competition at any minute! Dennis and Louis were very strong and could hold down the fort in the competition. With their departure, Alain would have fewer people to count on, and things might end up a mess. He was furious about their abrupt departure. “I need to capture Dennis. How dare he betray us?!” Alain was very upset. As a traitor, Dennis had to be dealt with. The news quickly spread, and many members found out that Dennis had chosen to leave the guild. The other elders also wondered what they should do. They knew that Dennis was a smart man and was good at judging the situation. Choosing to leave was a sign of a change to come. Everyone had their own thoughts and a rough guess about what was going on. Alain's actions not only caused an uproar but also made
A young man about the same age as him was so talented. Could anyone not be jealous? However, Louis was truly not jealous. He just wanted to learn from Philip. If Philip was really that strong, he would obey. Although Louis had a high status in the guild, he was not highly valued. That useless loser was given priority when it came to most of the resources, which made Louis upset. By right, resources should be allocated to talented people, but things were different because Hogster had a guild leader for a father. Thinking of this, Louis smiled at Philip expectantly. If Philip was worth following, he would leave the Hexa Guild without hesitation. “I want to apologize for offending you earlier. I also want to follow you, but I don’t know if I’m good enough. If you won’t consider me, I hope you can give my son a chance. He’s pretty talented.” Dennis was very polite as he apologized to Philip. Philip was surprised and thought that Dennis was quite nice. Philip invited them insi
Dennis and Louis quickly arrived at the door and knocked nervously. Rabbit opened the door this time. He did not expect to see Dennis again. He thought Dennis was here to cause trouble, so he scowled. “Why are you here again, old man? Do you want to cause more trouble for us? You’d better think twice or I’m going to get angry!” Rabbit said fiercely. Rabbit easily crushed them earlier, so they would not forget about their miserable defeat so quickly. Louis was embarrassed to hear that this rabbit had defeated his father. He had always thought that Dennis was very powerful and would not lose to a younger person no matter what. Unexpectedly, Dennis was not only defeated but lost miserably too. Louis keenly perceived that this talking rabbit was Philip’s pet and became excited. If Philip's pet was so powerful, Philip should be better. Thinking of this, he was excited and wanted to see Philip immediately. Rabbit stared at Dennis and Louis, wondering what they were up to. Denni
Celeste was surprised to see that Esther had restored her appearance. She had just seen Esther wearing a veil to cover her ugly face when they first met earlier. “Amazing! You look beautiful all of a sudden,” Celeste praised Esther from the bottom of her heart. Celeste did not know how it happened, but there had to be a reason for it. Esther smiled at Celeste. “Now that I’m beautiful, I can fully focus on taking care of Philip. Don’t worry, I won’t be worse than you.” Hearing that, Celeste was puzzled by Esther’s aggression. While everyone was lost in their own thoughts, an uninvited guest turned up at the door. It was none other than Dennis of the Hexa Guild. Dennis was not alone as he had brought his son along with him. His son was quite talented and always listened to his father's opinions. After all, he knew that he would not be where he was without his father’s guidance, and most of his father’s decisions were correct. “Father, are you sure we should leave the guild
Esther never thought that her curse could be lifted so quickly. More importantly, Esther found that all the negative energy in her body had disappeared. She took off her veil and looked at them with her true appearance. Esther was beautiful by nature, but the nasty technique had impacted her self-esteem. Now that she had regained her appearance, Esther’s confidence returned as well. “Wonderful! This technique is the perfect improved version! With this technique, our members can practice like any normal person without worrying about their appearance. Other guilds can’t kick a fuss over it or try to mess with us again!” Jamie was ecstatic and abruptly remembered a very important question. “By the way, what’s the deal with this technique? Did someone give it to you?” Jamie had to get to the bottom of it. It was very important. He would be uneasy if he did not figure out the situation. “Philip gave it to me. I don't know how he got our technique, but he’s quite good at studying
