Wynn Johnston?No, no, no, no!She belonged to Philip Clarke, she was Brother Clarke's!His fate mattered now.Joel performed the humble posture to the fullest. He was considered as casting the five limbs to the earth. He kowtowed non-stop to the camera, begging for mercy.As Philip stood at the entrance of the hotel, he looked at Joel on the screen. A cold smile appeared on the corners of his mouth. "Some things should not be attempted more than three times. You’ve challenged my patience many times and even aimed at Wynn with your schemes. I’m sorry, you and the Harris family have to say goodbye to the world today.”"Brother Clarke, I was wrong, I was wrong, I was really wrong. I shouldn't have turned to Wynn. Please, just forgive me this one time. I’ll get out of Riverdale immediately and never come back in this life."Joel was in extreme panic. His eyes were glaring widely as he kowtowed to the camera for mercy. His body was covered in blood.In a state like this, how could
Giada was speechless at that question.Her complexion flushed slightly, and there was a cold glint in her eyes.“Let the Harris family go. They’ll pay the price for what they did.”Giada took a deep breath. Her expression flickered, and she soon recovered from her guilty conscience.For the first time, she felt that she had underestimated Philip.This guy had become unfathomable in the past seven years.Giada suddenly felt that all the rumors and information about him that were collected through investigations in the past years were all false.Philip Clarke was a master at disguising himself.Philip remained silent and grim. He took a step forward and forced Giada to take a few steps back before he said, “What if I say I don’t want to let them off?”Domineering!At this moment, this word was undoubtedly evident in Philip!Following his actions, all the special guards who were lined up aimed their guns at Klaus and Giada!Giada’s assistant immediately stood in front of her a
Yolanda, who was still in the hotel suite, looked at all the figures downstairs who had just left and completely panicked.Yolanda was dumbfounded.Just as she was about to kiss Philip just now, the door to the room was opened and dozens of men in black suits swarmed in.The person leading the group was the underground king, Theo Zander!Only now did she find out that it was all a trap set by Philip!A trap that made use of her!Yolanda Lee had been taken advantage of?Philip Clarke, that trash! Yolanda would hate him for the rest of her life!As for Philip, he was humming a tune and leisurely returned to the Old Johnston Manor.At the entrance, a few dark shadows moved forward and said respectfully, “Mr. Clarke, you’re home.”Philip nodded while glancing at them. They grinned before running away.Philip opened the door and tiptoed into the bedroom.Philip thought for a moment, and just as he was about to get into the bed, Wynn turned over beside him and hugged Philip while
Look at it?“What’s there to look at? A wastrel like you has money to buy a villa?”Martha stood up immediately, pointed feistily at Philip’s nose, and mocked, “You can’t even afford a house the size of a hundred square meters, what more a villa! I’ll kowtow and beg for your forgiveness today if you actually own one!”This useless bum was really shameless, lying without even blinking.“Okay, remember your words,” Philip said calmly.Martha snorted and said, “Wynnie, just look at this Philip. He’s such a shameless liar. A worthless wench like him can afford to buy a villa? Does he even know how expensive the property in Riverdale is? Even the prices at Hillside Villa have increased. Each unit now costs 15 million!”Wynn was getting a headache already. Why was her mother always looking down on Philip?“Mom, Philip is telling the truth. He really bought one at Longford Park. I have no reason to lie to you.”Wynn said disdainfully, her eyes slightly cold.Martha was taken aback wh
Gina Wood did not think that a good-for-nothing like Philip could ever afford a villa. She heard that Wynn became the chairman of a company, so there was a possibility that she bought it, but for the sake of dignity, they were claiming that Philip bought it instead.In any case, Gina was unhappy.They were all members of the Johnston family, but Charles’ family was the one who bought a villa, so anyone would be upset about it.“Haha, Gina, I think Martha is just joking around. How can that trash afford a villa?”Another sister-in-law, Amelia Stone, had a mocking expression on her face.The two families arrived together. Charles’ two younger brothers, Martin Johnston and Bernard Johnston, also looked disdainful.The two families were ordinary people and possessed an aptitude of average citizens too.When they heard that the eldest sibling’s family had bought a villa, they were all unhappy because of their falling dignities.The eldest brother became a section head before he reti
Everyone was confused at this moment.With such luxurious Mercedes-Benzes sent to pick them up, could Philip really have bought a villa?“F*ck! These cars belong to Longford! The logo with a gold dragon!”Among the relatives, Martin’s son, Liam Johnston, exclaimed loudly.Although his family was not very well-off, this kid was dressed cleanly with all branded names. Even the phone in his hand was the latest model from the fruit brand.He recognized these cars from the gold dragon logo unique to the Longford family of Riverdale!In the entire Riverdale area, no one else would dare to do this!Besides, when he went to a bar last time, he had seen a car with a gold dragon logo before. It belonged to the young master of the Longford family.Now, seeing the car here, Liam was naturally excited and exhilarated, but at the same time, he was dubious too.Why would Longford's cars stop in front of his uncle’s house? Were they really here to pick them up?“What? Longford’s cars? Longfo
“Yes, I think so too. Sister-in-law Martha, you must keep an eye on Wynn. Philip must be up to no good. Maybe he might even embezzle the money and run away, then your family will end up in a miserable state.”“That’s right. For a wimp like that to make such a big show for no reason, he must be trying to hoodwink us!”When Martha heard those words, her expression sank. She felt very dissatisfied.It was an investment worth one billion. That good-for-nothing Philip must not be allowed to touch that money!That money belonged to Wynn’s company, and Wynn’s money was hers!“I understand. This wastrel won’t get a single penny from my house!” Martha gritted her teeth bitterly.Thereafter, everyone got into the cars tentatively.They wanted to see what Philip was up to.“Hey, do you think we’re really going to Longford Park? I’ve heard that Longford Park is like a palace, very luxurious!”In the car, the few women gathered around and chattered endlessly.Gina was the type of woman wi
“How did this bunch of beggars appear at Longford Park?”Suddenly!An unpleasant voice rang out.A couple approached them. The guy was handsome while the woman was pretty.From their clothes, it was quite obvious that they were not ordinary people.The man was very displeased, as seen from his deep frown.The woman next to him dressed in revealing clothes also wrinkled her nose and said unhappily, “Mickey, isn’t the security in Longford Park supposed to be very strict? Why are there so many trashy people here? They stink.”Mickey Cage was also very disgusted at the sight of such people and directly addressed the well-trained security guards at the entrance. “Hey, aren’t you going to drive them away?”As soon as Martha heard this, she immediately flared up. She raised her voice, pointed at the couple, and yelled, “Little brat, who are you talking about? Who are the trashy people? You’re the trashy people! Your entire family is trash! What’s so great about Longford Park? We’re he
At this time, Cameron and his men returned in the middle of the night. He saw the Claude family members crying as soon as he returned. They were bruised and battered from a beating, looking utterly miserable. Cameron was furious that someone would dare to bully his family members while he was away. “What's going on? Why are you in this state? Did someone cause trouble while I was away?” Cameron was angry and in disbelief, feeling that something was strange. Everyone nodded nervously. “Ronan is here!” The old woman who suffered the worst beating was very upset and glared viciously in Ronan’s direction. “Cameron, although you left me in charge while you were away, I can’t do it anymore. Ronan kept messing with us and even brought some people to beat us up!” The old woman made up stories and described Ronan as an unforgivable evildoer. Cameron scowled, but he could not believe it. “What did you say? Ronan actually hit someone?” He was unwilling to believe it. Although Ronan
Philip took out some fine wine, which was worthless to him but priceless to Ronan. Ronan laughed at Philip’s nonchalance and patted his shoulder. The two of them sat down and started drinking. Rabbit joined in the fun and swallowed the wine in big gulps. Although the alcohol content was a bit high for Rabbit, he enjoyed it happily. They quickly felt slightly tipsy. Although they were practitioners, they did not use any techniques to sober up. It was okay to be a little intoxicated as long as it did not affect them too much. It was rare to find a friend who they could click so well with, so it was a blessing to get drunk together. As they drank happily, the aroma of the wine wafted out. Everyone smelled the fragrance and looked for the source of the scent. They quickly found Ronan's residence and scowled. That smell proved that he had to be drinking good wine in there. “How is he worthy of such fine wine?” “Just a whiff of that wine clears my head, so it has to be good s
Although victory was not confirmed, they had to take part. Since the other party said so, they had no choice but to win. At the thought of the other major families, Cameron scowled as he felt the pressure. “I heard that you have a non-human descendant in your family,” the other party said with a smile, but it was uncertain if his intention was to mock Cameron or to find out some information. The Claude family scowled as they instantly figured out who the other party was talking about—Ronan. This person had disgraced the whole family. “We do have someone like that in our family. Back then, one of our youths was restless and impulsive…” Cameron wanted to explain, but the other party interrupted him. The mysterious man smiled with satisfaction at Cameron’s admittance. “If that’s the case, it’s great. Let this person take part in the competition. I’m interested in his strength and want to try it out in person. “Other than your victory, this person has to take part in the comp
By treating Ronan badly, the people would receive some rewards from the higher-ups. After a while, everyone got used to it. Even the wine sold to Ronan was cheap wine that no one wanted. “There’ll be a place for me in the world somehow!” Philip shook his head. These people’s attitude was strange, indeed, but he did not think that they could not find a roof over their heads. Since the Claude family was so arrogant, they could take over their place. Thinking of this, Philip took them back to the Claude family's manor and knocked on the door with a smile on his face. The guards were horrified to see Philip and Ronan again. They did not forget how badly they were beaten earlier. Thus, no one dared to stop them from marching in for fear that they would be beaten again. They could not afford the consequences. The Claude family quickly learned about their appearance. They scowled, their faces turning ashen. “Why are you here again?” “We already told you that they won't be ba
Even though everyone was angry, they could not help but taunt the culprit. The cowardly man coughed at their sarcastic remarks. “Let’s wait until the family head returns tomorrow. I don’t believe Ronan will be so arrogant when he’s around!” After saying that, he ran to his room and hid, unwilling to say more to the others. Ronan did not know what happened back then. As long as he refused to admit it, he believed that Ronan could not do anything to him. It was a conspiracy against Ronan’s mother back then. If the family head refused to protect him, he would tell Ronan everything to save himself.… After Ronan left the luxurious manor, his mood instantly became better. He never thought that he would do something so spectacular one day. “Thank you.” Ronan lowered his head to Philip humbly. He was grateful to Philip and wanted to pledge brotherhood with Philip. Philip waved his hands awkwardly, surprised by Ronan’s courtesy. He did not do much; he just gave him some confiden
Other members of the family had been so pampered that no one could fight Ronan either. All of them were sent flying, and some of them hung on the tree miserably. Philip laughed at the scene. These people had always treated Ronan as a pushover when, in fact, Ronan was a force to be reckoned with. None of them was a match for him. “I know that other than my uncle, some other people were also involved in harming my mother, but I don’t know who they are. You'd better hand them over or no one will leave this place alive today.” Ronan’s killing intent was very intense. He was clearly very angry. Everyone panicked and looked around carefully, at a loss for what to do. They saw the fear in each other’s eyes. The family head had taken Ronan's uncle and some other people to a city. It was difficult for them to find a decision-maker when the elders were not around. The instigator from back then was not around either. Who else could they look for? “Calm down. This matter has nothin
Ronan’s uncle did not hesitate to force his elder sister to her death just to kick the most promising descendant out of the family. This grudge was unforgivable. Everyone laughed at Ronan’s audacity to seek revenge. Only a fool would dare to do that. “Do you know how powerful your uncle is?” “Although he’s not here now, he’s not someone you can afford to mess with.” Everyone mocked Ronan without taking him seriously at all. “Did you hear what I said?” Ronan scowled. These people kept disregarding his request and paid no attention to him. He felt very upset. “Since you won’t hand him over, I’ll beat you until he appears. If he’s not here, other people can take his place.” He knew that his uncle was quite powerful and would often go to other towns or cities for networking. While it was true that he might not be around, it did not mean that Ronan would not make trouble for the others. Everyone looked at Ronan arrogantly, waiting to see what Ronan would do. Suddenly, Rona
The guards were taken aback by Ronan’s sudden arrogance and looked at him doubtfully. “What’s up with you? Do you want to take action?” “After all these years, have you finally decided to avenge your mother?” They kept taunting Ronan without realizing how angry he was. “I repeat—I want to see the people who forced my mother to her death back then!” Ronan stomped his foot in anger and glared at everyone around him. The guards were startled because they finally felt Ronan’s strength with that stomp. They did not expect him to be that strong. Maybe because of Ronan’s fury, they finally realized his might and quickly scrambled into the manor. Philip saw the name on a plaque—Claude Manor. The place looked pretty imposing, and Philip felt a stab of longing as he looked around. Philip stood without a word. His main objective was to help Ronan. The guards ran away in a panic. They knew that Ronan was going to make things difficult for them. “It’s bad. Ronan is at the door
The man could not resist because he was alone. Next time, he would bring more people to deal with Philip. Philip saw his resentment but took no notice of it. No matter how much he resented Philip, he would not survive tonight. Such an arrogant and domineering person would not live to see the sun tomorrow. “Y-You hit him?” Ronan looked at Philip in disbelief, shocked that Philip would stand up for him. Although he usually appeared simple and kind, he was not a fool. He knew that Philip hit that guy to protect him. “If you meet such people again, just fight them and don’t worry about unnecessary things. You don't want to fight because you’re afraid of losing the right to enter the town, but you’re my brother from now on. “I can take care of your wine supply, and we can find other ways to make money. You don’t have to waste your efforts and live under someone else's roof anymore,” Philip said arrogantly, not taking these people seriously at all. Hearing that, Ronan nodded with
