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
“Nope. Whatever you think it is, it’s not.” Philip huffed helplessly as he stuffed a slice of apple into Wynn’s mouth. “Enough about Giada, okay? I’ve got it covered. Oh, and tell me if she comes to look for you again, okay?” Stunned, Wynn hummed a tone of acknowledgment. After finishing the apple, Wynn asked, “Philip... About my mother, what did you do?” Wynn was afraid that Philip’s anger would have driven him to do the unthinkable. It was only natural for her to worry as it was her mother and Philip’s mother-in-law after all. Philip responded serenely, “Nothing much, so don’t worry about it. If she learns anything from this, she’ll start thinking twice before she acts.” Wynn nodded. Her mother was indeed at fault this time, so there was nothing worth arguing with Philip about. Moreover, Wynn had already made her own decision. Two to three days later, Wynn was discharged from the hospital. Martha stayed conscientiously at home. She had spent the last few days livi
Martha glossed over the dishes on the menu only to find that the shark fin cost six thousand 6,000 yuan!The Australian lobster cost 2,000 per entree! Flipping to the page of the Lafite ‘82… 10,000?! “This… Joel, this is too expensive.” Martha began to fret. Smiling, Joel snapped his fingers to call upon a waiter and instructed, “This here is my Aunt Martha. Serve us all your recommendations and a bottle of Lafite, please. Oh, and start up a new VIP membership account as well.” Hearing him, Martha was beyond elated. Joel was better than that good-for-nothing Philip Clarke in every way. Not too long later, all the dishes were served. The waiter approached to courteously hand Joel the new VIP card. “Aunt Martha, this here is actually my classmate’s restaurant. With this membership card, everything is 40% off.” After handing the card to Martha, Joel added, “But of course, everything will be on my tab.” Martha’s eyes shone with mirth and satisfaction as she accepted the VI
“Now that we know, Aunt Martha, he’s easy to deal with. Just a piece of trash, right? I’ll call someone to get rid of him.” Seating himself back on the chair, Joel pulled out his cell phone and dialed, “Hello? Wolf? Where’re you now? I need your help with something. Can you help me teach this guy a lesson? I don’t care, you can break his legs…” Saying so, he turned to lock eyes with Martha who showed no hints of opposition. Martha seemed to hate Philip to the bone. Ah well, clashes between the mother and son-in-law meant it would be sooner or later before Wynn divorced Philip. By then, it would not take him too much effort before Wynn became his. After the call, Martha happily ate at the meal as she discussed with Joel Harris how best to pursue Wynn. “Listen to your Aunt Martha, Joel. Come over tomorrow. I’ll make sure to call Wynnie over too. Then, you bring her out to play. Nurture your feelings and I’m sure it’ll only be a matter of time before you get together again.
The family stared at Philip. He knew who this young master was?Wynn’s eyes lit up as she stared at Philip while the latter spoke as if it was an act of generosity to share the knowledge he had. “The young master of the Clarke Group is actually…” “You?”Martha interrupted abruptly. She said it in a tone of ruthless taunting before Philip could finish his sentence. Snorting twice for good measure, Martha wore an expression of pure sarcasm. “Were you going to tell us you’re the young master? I’ve never realized you’re so prone to lying, Philip Clarke, but I suppose it’s better late than never. Wynnie marrying you is a tragedy!” “Mom, can you not talk to Philip like that? Why are you so opinionated about him when all he has been doing these few years is take your complaints and chides in stride?” Wynn sighed and shook her head dejectedly. It was as if her mother and Philip were mortal enemies or something. She just had to berate or hit him a few times before she would move o
“Stop! Stay away!” Martha shivered down to her bones in fear, still traumatized by the choking incident that night. She darted to hide behind Wynn as she scolded, “Look, Wynnie. This is Philip Clarke! I can’t believe he wants to hit me. Who’s the head of the family here? He’s going too far!” “Haha.” Philip scoffed, too lazy to argue with Martha. Philip had always been a sore sight to her, coupled with his attitude the past few days, Martha could not help the anger that began to boil. No, she had to throw this piece of trash out the Johnston family tree! She had to get Wynn to divorce him! Otherwise, that would be the end of Martha’s peaceful days. “Listen to your mother, okay Wynnie? I’ve already set it up for you with Joel. He’s bringing you out on vacation for a few days. Make good use of this chance, okay? Joel’s family is rich, and he’s the CEO of Hodgson Pharmaceutical too. Don’t let such a great opportunity slip by, it’ll be good for both you and your company.”
Paula’s tone was laced heavily with the intent to make fun. It was one that caused Martha to flush in anxiety as the words cut like knives. Wynn could tell as well that her Aunt Paula was making things difficult for Philip. However, she was in no position to say anything as Aunt Paula was her elder. “Oh? So this is Wynn’s husband. He looks fine to me, though. Yup, all limbs intact.” Frank had not made any motion to stand at all. Instead, he sat on the sofa and sipped peacefully on his tea as he crudely commented. “Haha. Honey, you’re so funny. Didn’t you say he’s a simplistic man?” Comprehending the implications of his words, Samantha hid a smile behind her hand. Philip was confused. ‘What the heck?’ All he did was go out for a smoke, how did he end up being the center of everyone’s jokes when he returned? ‘Frank McDonald and Samantha Benson? ‘You are nothing to me!’Philip’s expression darkened. “What are you doing just standing there? Come say hello. Meet Samanth
Philip, on the other hand, was close to bursting in laughter at Samatha’s claim. Rocker Pharmaceutical, owned by Clarke Group from Capital City. After all that fuss, it turned out that it was his family’s enterprise. What the heck was Frank so smug about?He wanted nothing more than to tell them this Rocket Pharmaceutical they built their arrogance on, was his. “Aunt Martha sure is envious of you, Sammy. Your days must be spent in comfort with such a great husband, right? Unlike my Wynnie over here, what a tragic life she’s living…” Martha made sure to send a few glares at Philip as she spoke, frustration bubbling within her chest. It was all because of that useless piece of trash!“Relax, Martha. An opportunity has arisen itself, no? I heard Clarke Group from Capital City invested in Wynnie’s company, right? That’s a billion yuan into the, what’s the name again? Ah yes, Beacon Pharmaceutical! That’s a lot of money.” Paula beamed brightly. “Wynnie, your mother told me you
The grandmaster frowned. He believed Abba because Abba was the current head of the family and had an extraordinary status. “Some bad guys came along with him. They're the ones who tricked him into betraying the family. They're so strong that I couldn’t trap them. I had no choice but to let them enter our territory!” Abba added fuel to the fire, describing Philip and the others as heinous villains while he was the hero trying to protect the family. If Avon, also known as Rabbit, knew about this, he would probably pass out in anger. “They're probably trying to pass through the level right now. They’ll see you once they succeed, so I hope that you won't believe his lies. He has betrayed us and is no longer a member of the rabbit family!” Abba had achieved his objective. He knew that the grandmaster would never believe Avon again. “Fine, leave this to me. I know what I should do next.” The grandmaster fell into deep thought, perhaps thinking about how to deal with Avon. Abb
“Forget it. Everything is good as long as you’re happy. Anyway, we have to watch out. Those people are a force to be reckoned with!” The rabbit commander knew how stubborn Abba was, so he stopped talking after giving him some advice. Abba might beat him if he continued. Although they had been here many times before, neither of them knew where the grandmaster was. They could only wander aimlessly in the safe zone. The grandmaster was very mischievous and would play tricks on them from time to time. While Abba was searching aimlessly, a figure appeared in front of him. “Little one, you’re so nice to visit me so soon!” The figure that appeared was the grandmaster Abba was looking for. The grandmaster stroked his beard as he smiled at Abba. “Did you bring the things I wanted? I told you to bring me some pretty little maids. You must have forgotten my request!” Seeing Abba alone, the grandmaster sighed helplessly and seemed disappointed from the bottom of his heart. “Grand
“He had no interest in that position because he was powerless to do anything. Everything turned out this way because he had no ability in this area! Without the ability to rule the world or talent for practice, he has no right to inherit the family!” Abba hated his brother very much. He argued with the rabbit commander unhappily. “If I could trick him back then, I can do it again now. I'll find a way to send him away, but before that, I want to find out what brought him back!” Many years ago, Rabbit was imprisoned for a long time because of his family’s betrayal. Fortunately, he brought a few rabbit maids to keep him company. However, no one could bear being imprisoned in the same place for such a long time. Later, Rabbit met Philip, who rescued him, or he would still be imprisoned in that place until now. Abba was curious to find out how his useless brother escaped. After all, his curse was very effective. Under normal circumstances, Rabbit could not escape that place un
“Don’t you find the monsters annoying? They deserved to be beaten!” Everyone held a half-dead monster in hand. Philip had no idea whether he should sympathize or ridicule these miserable monsters. Soon, the monsters merged into one. “Congratulations on passing the first level. Please proceed to the next round.” Philip frowned at the monster’s words. Why did he feel like he was playing a game? It seemed that their actions had been under watch the moment they entered the light. It was a very unpleasant feeling. Philip hated being under other people’s control. At this time, Rabbit hopped to Philip's side. It was obviously not trapped in that mysterious space just now. “Rabbit, I feel that this place has something to do with you. You'd better recall what’s going on or we’ll beat you up!” Philip waved his fist fiercely. Rabbit’s ability to avoid the ordeal proved that he had an inseparable relationship with this place. Philip did not care whether Rabbit had lost his memories.
Since the monster was made of moss, its regenerative ability was strong. Any damage done would result in regeneration in another form, and its combat power would be stronger than before. In the end, Philip tied the monster with a rope. He tossed it to the ground and punched and kicked it. The monster had developed intelligence, so Philip could communicate with it. The monster would definitely choose to compromise once it was beaten into submission. Thinking of this, Philip punched harder as if he was going to kill it. The moss monster struggled in a panic under Philip’s attack, shocked by Philip’s psychotic behavior. Instead of killing it, Philip chose to torture it. Only a psycho would do that. Although the moss monster could regenerate and live forever, it had a sense of pain. It could not bear Philip’s torture. “Stop hitting me. I’ll let you out at once!” the moss monster said in a panic. It was just the first-level guardian of this place. There was no need to suffer s
“Who are you?” These green people blocked Philip’s path and asked. “Uh, if I tell you that I entered this place by mistake, would you believe it?” Philip said awkwardly. He did not know if these things were friend or foe and had no idea how to answer their question. At this moment, everyone's vision went blurry, and they were separated. Philip found himself in a strange arena. “Since you don't know why you're here, why don’t you defeat me first?” A green guy drove Philip into a corner, forcing him to take action. Other than Philip, the rest encountered the same situation. They were isolated in a separate room and faced the moss monsters alone. Philip seemed a little worried about this situation. If he was not mistaken, everyone was in the same plight, and the other party seemed determined to kill them separately. Philip was not worried about the others, only Katie. Katie was not as strong as the others. She was just an ordinary person who had just started practicing
Philip was full of anticipation and nerves because he had never done such an exciting thing before. At this time, the rabbit commander was horrified to see Philip and the others entering the mysterious light. “Oh no, why are they so foolish to enter the light? They’ll be dead in no time! I need to report this to His Majesty. One wrong move and we’re done for!” The rabbit commander quickly reported this incident, and Abba was furious. “Damn it, what’s wrong with these people? Why did they rush in when they knew it was dangerous inside? Are they tired of living?” Abba was so angry that he wanted to catch his useless brother and beat him up. “The grandmaster is inside the light. What should we do if they disturb the grandmaster?” The rabbit commander scowled. He knew that he and Abba were doing something that everyone would frown upon. They would be held accountable if the grandmaster found out what they were doing. “Why? Are you afraid? You weren’t so scared when you decide
“I wonder how my brother has been doing over the years?” Rabbit rubbed his hands excitedly. It seemed that he missed his brother very much. At this time, a bright light lit up. Everyone stared at the light nervously, wondering what was going on. When Rabbit was expecting his brother with joy, several beasts appeared and attacked them. Terrifying monster beasts jumped out of the light while roaring. Philip and the others were so shocked by the sudden change that they could not react and backed away to avoid the attacks. Philip raised his leg in surprise and kicked one of the beasts. “Is that your brother? He doesn’t look like you at all!” Hearing Philip’s remark, Aslan and the others looked at Rabbit in confusion, wondering what was going on. “Philip, stop kidding. That’s not my brother. It’s a monster beast!” Of course, Philip was simply teasing Rabbit. Those ferocious beasts were clearly trying to rip them apart. After making sure that they could kill the beasts, P
Someone sitting in a high position looked pretty imposing. “Your Majesty, your younger brother is back. We've locked him up per your orders. What should we do next?” the rabbit commander reported the situation truthfully. He obviously knew Rabbit’s identity and caught him per the given instructions. “Hehe, he’s finally back after so many years. In that case, bring him over. I believe the people at the top are still interested in him.” The figure in the high position spoke calmly without joy but with a hint of impatience. “He arrived with several others of different races. Should we get rid of them too?” the rabbit commander said fiercely, annoyed with those strange creatures. The other party nodded and waved his hand. He closed his eyes in rest and seemed unwilling to say another word. The rabbit commander executed the order. As the most loyal commander, he knew what he should do. Philip and the others were waiting for the rabbit commander to return with the result. At
