Ronald exploded like a volcano, showing just how intimidating he could be!He glared at his son and jabbed a finger at his nose, “You useless, useless son! How dare you lie through your teeth like that? When have I ever helped young Wynn here?”Joel was stunned. He looked at his father in confusion.What was wrong with the old man? Why was he turning on his son?Wynn was quite disappointed right now. Joel, who was once sunny and bright, had changed completely!He had become so two-faced and fake!“What are you saying, Dad? Didn’t you help Wynnie that time? I called you and you said you would assign someone to it. You said you could handle it.”Joel frowned deeply and forced the lie through, but he was getting a bad feeling about this.“Nonsense! When have I ever said that?”Ronald was properly furious now. “I just said I would have someone look at it. When did I ever say that I could solve it?”The air turned tense.“What on earth is happening here? Please tell me honestly,
No way!The man was a good-for-nothing, through and through!Joel shook his head and dismissed that ridiculous notion.After that, he continued to give chase, trying to catch up to Wynn and explain.Philip was at the door. When he saw Joel running past him in such a hurry, he was inevitably confused. Why was Joel Harris here too?Joel was shocked to suddenly see Philip here too. The next second, he was filled with rage. If it were not for Philip, Joel would be living happily with Wynn by now.He went up to Philip furiously and grabbed the latter by his collar, roaring, “Why are you here, Philip, you piece of trash?”Why?Why was this worthless wretch here at Copper Peacock Palace?The party tonight was held for Clarke Group’s Master Clarke. If Philip was here…Impossible!Philip yanked Joel’s arm away and straightened out his collar, sneering at Joel coldly. “Why am I here, you ask? You’ll know soon enough. Stay put and don’t leave, okay?”“F*cking idiot! F*ck you!”Joel s
The seven or eight young men and women immediately looked at Philip with contempt.“Have y’all seen enough? Scram off somewhere you’re actually welcome.”That was when Howard stepped forth and tried to shoo them off impatiently.“Haha, what’s the matter? Are you afraid of embarrassing yourselves too? If you are, shouldn’t you get the hell out of here?”Samantha crossed her arms in front of her chest, looking down her nose at them.“Shut up! Seriously, Samantha Benson, don’t you have anything better to do? I want to stay here, so I’ll stay. What the hell does that have to do with you?”Phillip snapped back, clearly angry now.“Hmph! R*tard!”Samantha scoffed, “You’re a turtle who’s never left your tiny shell. Stay here if you like, then you’ll see how puny you really are.“Let’s go!”Samantha turned around, sticking up her perky butt.Yolanda, Joshua and the rest happened to witness that scene too.“Haha, look at that. Joshua. Philip sure is useless. He took all that scoldin
Hudson reached out his hand enthusiastically to shake Philip’s.Everyone was stunned!All of them had their jaws drop, their hearts in utter turmoil!Frank, Samantha and the others were even more taken aback. Samantha especially had her mouth open so wide that she could stuff two whole eggs into it!Someone, please tell her what was going on here!Joshua, Yolanda and their group were stunned speechless as well. They stared intently at Philip, who wore a composed smile.No, that could not be!It must be a mistake!They were not the only ones who thought that. Samantha and her friends were similarly in disbelief!“Did you make a mistake, Mr. Cash? There’s no way he’s Master Clarke, he’s my third aunt’s son-in-law who married into the family. He’s a good-for-nothing food deliveryman.”Frank said snidely, interrupting Hudson’s handshake with Philip.“That’s right, he can’t possibly be Master Clarke. He’s just a poser of a peasant! There’s no way he’s Master Clarke.”Samantha sh
Philp looked at everyone’s expressions of shock. His eyes cold, he stared at Frank and said, “You say you had a meal with me before, Frank?”Smack smack smack!Philip’s words were like lightning-quick slaps to Frank’s face.Frank suddenly remembered the lie he had told at the Johnstons’ place that day. How embarrassing.Samantha was completely red now too. She did not even dare to raise her head, her entire body shaking.The worthless wretch was now emanating a terrifying aura!“N-No… You must be kidding, Master Clarke. How could little old me ever sit at the same table as you?”Frank lowered his noble head. In front of Philip, he had no qualms bending his back low.The sweat dripped off the corners of his forehead and fell onto the tips of his shoes.He did not dare to raise his head or straighten his spine.After all, Philip had not said anything yet.Behind Frank, Samantha’s eyes were lowered too. Her panic and terror showed clearly on her face.Philip did not look at Fr
She was about to step forth when her phone rang at just the wrong moment. Wynn glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was Joel.She frowned her pretty crescent brows and simply rejected the call.Immediately, however, she received a text instead.The contents went straight to the point. “Wynn, I’m waiting for you at the carpark. There’s something I have to tell you about Philip.”Philip?Did something happen to him?Wynn was worried. She glanced at Master Clarke, who was surrounded by his admirers, and decided that she could still see him later anyway.That was why she turned around and headed for the carpark outside.She was very worried about Philip.On the other hand, Philip was giving a speech on the stage to a hall full of attentive guests.Yolanda had returned after leaving, and now she was standing amongst the crowd, still feeling lost. Her large eyes stared intently at Philip, in the middle of his speech.So he really was Master Clarke.“That piece of trash! He’s
”Sorry, Philly~ I was wrong before. I didn’t know you were so rich! Please forgive me? After all, we were classmates, right?”Yolanda whinnied, her eyes filling with tears the more she said.Tears, fears, and then a full-out tantrum. That was her modus operandi.Philip hurriedly said, “Stop right there. I remember clearly how you used to humiliate me. Are you saying you guys could shame me however you liked just because I was poor before?”Well, f*ck!He was not taking the bait!Yolanda panicked. Her playbook never failed her before, but it was not working on Philip.She had no choice but to cry for real!As soon as Philip said that, Yolanda let her tears spill down her face. Wiping her tears, she said, “I know, I was wrong. Please forgive me, Philly… Sooob…”What a headache!Philip had no idea how to handle her, so he could only nod. “Fine, fine, just stop crying! I’ll forget about what happened before.”Hallelujah!Yolanda immediately beamed at him and grabbed his arm aga
Joel’s head was pressed down, but he still yelled, “Let go of me, Clarke!”However, Philip pressed him down harder rather than letting go, his eyes cold as he said, “You asked for it, Harris!”Joel kept wailing and whining, “How dare trash like you touch me, Clarke! I’ll get someone to kill you, believe you me!”This was so embarrassing!In front of Wynn, no less! He was being subjugated by a wimp like Philip, and he could not even fight back.“Kill me? You?” Philip said with a cold laugh.Joel probably did not know what happened in the hall during the party tonight, huh.Otherwise he would never have the guts to say that!Next to them, Wynn was also a little frightened by Philip’s act of violence. She was angry at Joel for trying to molest her earlier, but they were still friends in a way. If the two men really got into a fight, Philip would come out of it worse.As the saying went, the winner went to the station and the loser went to the hospital.That was exactly the situa
