The boss was confused but a thought soon flashed across his head. Consequently, he nodded and then shook his head. “Madam, it is something good, but it’s not worth much. It’s a fake. Why don’t I take this for one hundred thousand dollars?”The boss knew that the bangle would sell for at least 100 million in the market.“What? Only a hundred thousand?”When Martha heard him, she snatched the bangle back and shook her head. “I’m not selling it anymore. My husband told me that it’s worth at least a few hundred thousand. You’re lying to me!”The boss hurriedly explained after hearing her words, “Madam, I came all the way here. There’s no reasoning for me to lie to you. It is indeed a fake and only cost a hundred thousand bucks. If you don’t believe me, you can ask other people. If anyone offers you a higher price, I, Mo Dunbar, will pay you twice the price they offer you!”Having said that, Mo pretended to get up and leave.He was the head of the industry. Therefore, he only needed t
Martha was completely insane!She was overwhelmed with anger!She was livid!The piece of trash had slapped her. If she did not teach him a lesson, how would she maintain her position in the family?After she finished yelling, Martha lifted her hand to smash the bangle against the wall!In the blink of an eye!A roar filled the living room like a raging fire!“Don’t you f*cking dare! You’re asking to die!”Philip’s eyes were red, and he was clenching his fists tightly. Not only had wrinkles began to form at the corner of his eyes due to anger, but the veins on his neck and forehead were now twisted like the image of a dragon!“Ah!”Martha was shocked. She was going to have a heart attack from fear.Nevertheless, before she could understand what was happening, Philip walked up to her with his eyes filled with the flames of wrath. Philip glared at Martha the same way he would at a dead body!Crack!Philip reached out his hand, strangled Martha’s neck, and lifted her off the
Wynn was horrified when she saw what had happened in the house. She ran in and helped Martha up before exclaiming, “Mom, what happened? I’m going to take you to the hospital.”When Martha saw that Wynn had arrived, she was relieved. She started throwing a tantrum as she yelled, “Why should I go to the hospital? Just let me die here! Look who attacked me! It’s Philip!”When Wynn heard that, she turned around and looked at Philip in anger and disbelief. She asked, “Philip, what did you do? She’s my mother!”Philip knew that such a thing was going to happen. As long as Martha was there, things would settle down so easily.He said coldly, “Yes, she’s your mother. However, ask her what immoral things she has done.”“Y-You’re spewing nonsense! What did I do? It was just a stupid bangle! Did you have to go as far as to hit me? You even hit me until I became like this. I am your mother-in-law! You’ll be struck by lightning and thunder! I don’t care! Wynn, you have to divorce him today! If
Half an hour ago, Philip received a call from George who said that there was an emergency.Subsequently, after exiting the hospital, Philip saw George standing in front of its entrance with a cane in his hand next to his Rolls Royce.George was wearing a suit with a hat. Evidently, he looked polite and refined.However, when Philip approached George, he could see that George’s forehead was drenched in sweat, and the latter’s eyes looked frantic.Something was wrong!He had to tell the young master immediately.“What happened, Old Man George? Why are you in such a hurry to find me?” Philip asked as he walked out of the hospital’s entrance.“Young master, I was wrong.”George respectfully bowed and lowered his head. There was a hint of self-blame in his tone of voice.Philip frowned. It was his first time seeing George acting like this. He smiled and asked, “What happened?”George did not dare conceal the matter from him and replied, “Young Master, the young madam and the unbor
All of a sudden!Bang!The door was kicked open violently from outside.Wynn turned around, looked at the door, and saw a figure standing tall at the entrance. It has to be said that the figure’s back was facing the light. The person then barged inside, took Wynn’s bowl, and smashed it on the floor!Smash!The bowl was smashed into pieces.When Martha saw that the bowl had been smashed, she felt anger well up in her chest. She stood up and pointed at Philip before shrieking, “Philip, you rascal, what are you doing? Are you still going to respect your mother-in-law or not?”Slap!Philip’s response to her was a slap in the face.Martha fell to the ground after being slapped and did not get up even after a long while. She began fuming.“Philip, what are you doing?”Wynn was horrified. She had noted expect Philip to barge in, smash the bowl, and slap Martha in front of her.Nevertheless, Philip was furious. He turned around and glared at Martha who was on the floor. Then, he po
The Maybach 42S stopped in front of the old Johnston Manor.Behind it was five black Benzes.It was a motorcade!The sight attracted the attention of many passersby and neighbors around the manor.“Oh, there are so many luxury cars. Which VIP is this?”“Holy moly! Maybach 62S! It’s Theo Zander’s ride! Why is he here?”When the neighbors heard that it was Theo’s car, they backed away in fear and only dared to watch from a distance.He was the Underground King of Riverdale.There was a time when his name was the cause of the normal residents’ nightmares.Who could afford to offend him?Why was a VIP like him there?“Hey, they’re getting out of their vehicles. Who’s that? The young man looks so familiar!”“Look! That’s Theo, and that’s his number one right-hand man, Tiger!”“Who’s that young man? Theo is being so respectful to him.”The crowd watched from a distance as they gossiped among one another.They caused a huge scene, and it was difficult for them not to attract th
Slap! Slap! Slap! The sound of slapping filled the room. Martha’s face had been smacked swollen with patches of her skin blooming in shades of black and blue while blood trickled down the corner of her mouth. All Charles could do was watch from the sidelines. He could scream his lungs out, but there was nothing he could do to stop them. In the end, Tiger came forth with a bottle of medication at the snap of Theo’s fingers. He walked menacingly toward Martha who had long lost her bearings from the slaps. Setting her eyes on the concoction, Martha felt fear creep up within her. Tears streamed down her face while she shook her head as if her life depended on it. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry! Please don’t, Theo. Please don’t make me drink the poison, no, please…” Her begging fell on deaf ears. After clamping a hand over Martha’s throat while others forced her mouth open, Tiger then poured the concoction into her throat. Karma was a b*tch! With her head tilted up as she was force
The atmosphere in the hospital room seemed different. Giada smiled a smile that encompassed the warmth of a spring breeze, one that Philip knew there was more than met the eye. It was a smile that removed herself from the narrative while she mocked and threatened at the same time. Standing from her seat, she walked toward Philip who looked as if his entire world had crashed. She spoke gently, “Take your time as you explain to Wynn, would you? We’ll meet again, very soon.” With that, Giada waved to bid Wynn farewell. “I’ll be leaving first then, Wynn. I’m sure Philip has his reasons to hide from you, so I do hope you’ll keep an open mind and hear him out.” Wynn was about to stand and send her out only to be held back by Philip. With no other choice, she smiled politely. “You can come over next time then, Aunt Giada.” “Oh?” There was a new hint of shock in Giada’s expression at the invitation. Her brows curved into a smile. “Very well then, I’ll visit when I have time. I
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
Cameron smiled awkwardly at everyone’s dissatisfaction. “That’s not the case. I'm still trying to figure out the situation. I thought I might make a mistake if I released the news in advance,” Cameron explained awkwardly. Although few people bought it, they put aside their prejudices. After all, they were not here to argue but to talk about it. If Cameron was driven into a corner and refused to tell them anything, they would be on the losing end, and no one wanted that outcome. “In that case, tell us what you know so that we can put our heads together. After all, there's strength in numbers. It’s better to do this together!” “I agree with the Lamy family's patriarch. Tell us your reservations so that we can figure it out!” Everyone made a din, clearly forcing Cameron to give in to their demands. Seeing that he could no longer hide it, Cameron finally decided to tell the truth. “What’s going on?” Before Cameron could tell them anything, Rabbit appeared. Rabbit hopped
At this time, the Claude family’s butler found the residence's doorstep surrounded by people. The butler was horrified and quickly found the patriarch. “Oh no, something bad has happened!” The butler ran into the room in disbelief. The excited Cameron scowled at this sudden intrusion. “What’s bad? Watch your words. Have you forgotten your manners? Don’t speak so loudly in this house!” Cameron had been lost in his excitement, but it was quickly replaced by anger. He wished he could fire the butler on the spot.The butler was scared and felt sorry for himself. “Patriarch! I wasn’t kidding. Something bad has happened!” “People from other families are at the door, including the heads of their families! They keep talking about some storage space and a rabbit, demanding an explanation from us. I don’t know what’s going on!” The butler felt aggrieved because he had no idea what happened. He only knew that a rabbit that could speak human language had turned up in the family. That ra
Philip had that precious tea on hand. Just one mouthful was enough to improve Cameron’s strength. He also had that incredible storage space. What was Philip’s background? How many mysterious treasures did he have? No one dared to think about it. Especially Cameron, who felt that he had found a treasure this time. At first, Cameron bore a grudge against Philip and felt that he had messed things up, but now, he saw Philip as his salvation.… Meanwhile, Sadie had no idea what had happened. Sadie’s husband was dealing with Philip’s issue with Cameron and did not have time to report the situation to his useless wife. She was still thinking about how to deal with Philip. “The rabbit’s storage space must be very valuable. If I spread the news about it, everyone will mess with that rabbit and save me the effort!” Thinking of this, Sadie thought she was very smart and was eager to put the plan into action. After thinking about it, Sadie contacted several families who were on go
“What are you guys doing here? Don’t you have anything better to do?” Rabbit asked bluntly. This arrogant rabbit was even more outspoken after staying with Aslan for so long. The Claude family felt offended. “My child, do you have a storage space? How did you get it? Can you tell me more?” Cameron ignored Rabbit but asked Ronan excitedly, eager to find out the situation. Ronan nodded calmly. “It’s just a storage space. Stop kicking up a fuss over it. My space is not very big, just enough to contain this house at most. It’s not a big deal,” he said pretentiously. Hearing that, Philip silently gave him a thumbs-up. He did not forget Ronan’s exaggerated expression when he first saw the size of the storage space. Surprisingly, Ronan got into the role so quickly. Philip thought he was a good actor. Ronan's casual remarks nearly caused everyone a mental breakdown. They were shocked as if they heard something incredible. “What? Is the space that big?” Cameron coughed violently.
“You can form a bond with the ring. Once that’s done, no one can take it away from you. It’ll belong to you forever.” Philip’s explanation reassured Ronan, and he finally accepted the gift from Philip with confidence. Although Ronan was strong, he was not arrogant to the point of being ignorant. If someone could take it from him, he would rather not have it. Although it was gratifying to own one, it would be painful to lose it after having it. With Philip’s affirmation, Ronan fidgeted with the ring happily and wanted to express his gratitude. Philip simply waved his hand without dwelling on it. “That’s enough. Go explore the storage space on your own. I believe it’ll help you greatly. “Since they’re so interested in Rabbit's storage space, you should show it off to them. I believe they’ll immediately hold you in high regard and maybe they’ll deal with those arrogant guys in the family.” Philip was excited at this mean trick and laughed when he thought of those people’s ugly
