As Frank watched this scene, he suddenly felt that the rebuking man was very pitiful.Yes, he used to mock Philip this way too.The result, however?He was punished severely!Even if it were the Longford family, they were nothing compared to Clarke Group of Capital City!“Philip, why are you only here now? Do you know that we’re being driven out? Is this your arrangement? For us to be embarrassed and made a laughing stock?”Martha was enraged. She got up angrily from the ground and twisted her huge butt as she approached Philip before slapping him.However, Philip dodged the blow. He glared at her coldly and said with a deep frown, “Mom, did you ask me to come here and solve the problem or to give others a good show?”Before this, when Martha hit him, he would just bear with it.Today, he did not wish to tolerate it anymore.Anyway, they would find out the truth later, so why should he continue to bear with it?Martha also felt a little guilty under Philip’s glare, but due t
Mickey saw so many security guards approaching, and he smiled menacingly. “F*cker! You’re dead this time! Since you dare to cause trouble here, just wait to visit death’s door!”However, before he finished speaking, his voice stopped abruptly!All the Longford security guards that rushed in just now all stood neatly behind Philip and bowed respectfully with a shout, “Mr. Clarke!”Mr. Clarke?Mickey was dumbfounded!What was going on here?Even he, Mickey Cage, did not enjoy such privilege from the Longford security guards.Could this pathetic brat be someone of importance?Martha and the rest were also stunned!What kind of Mr. Clarke was this trash supposed to be?Were all the Longford security guards blind?“It’s fine, you came very quickly. I don’t want to see these two ever again. Throw them out,” Philip said placidly before turning around to leave.A group of security guards looked at Mickey, and without saying a word, they dragged him out.“F*ck! How dare you touch m
Philip turned around, glanced at everyone, and said, “Is there a problem?”Everyone was struck dumb at that question.Martha’s expression was very ugly. Where did this useless Philip find the money to buy First Palace?It was not a lie, right?“Sister-in-law Martha, what exactly is going on here? This villa is worth 200 million? How did you get so much money?”Gina was very anxious. This luxurious villa was many times bigger than the ones they passed by just now. It was really like a palace.Did Martha not claim that they could not afford a villa? What was the situation now?A bluff?“Calm down, we haven’t gone in yet. Who knows what Philip is up to? If we can’t go in later, we’ll just wait for him to embarrass himself.”Paula was most upset. She was initially here to taunt Philip today, but now, she simply could not accept the scene before her.She looked back at her son-in-law with a questioning look in her eyes, seemingly to ask if he could afford to buy this place.Frank
“Sister Gina, what’s going on here? How can Philip buy such a villa? It’s 200 million!”Amelia pulled Gina to one side, her face full of jealousy and defiance.She was very upset. They were all part of the Johnston family. Why could Martha’s family afford to buy such a villa?Gina was also very sullen. They had already planned to come here and mock that good-for-nothing Philip. Everyone was confused by the unfolding of events now.“I don’t know either. Hasn’t her son-in-law been very useless all this time? Where did he get so much money?”Gina said with a face full of doubts. She looked at Philip who stood at one side with Wynn and felt very uneasy.“Didn’t you see how the security guards treated Philip with such respect just now? This guy is not a hidden rich second generation, is he?”Martin interrupted at this moment, and Bernard also nodded suspiciously.Gina nodded but did not take it seriously. If Philip was really a hidden rich second generation, why would he endure quie
“Hello, Madam, the current owner of First Palace is… Miss Lynn Johnston and Mr. Philip Clarke.”The attitude of the property management personnel was very friendly, and the reply given was very enthusiastic.“What? Say that again!”Martha got a fright. Her eyes widened as she could not believe her ears.“It’s Miss Lynn Johnston and Mr. Philip Clarke.” The female clerk of the property management repeated cheerfully.Thump!With a twitch of her heart, Martha turned around and stared at the smiling Philip and Wynn.The villa really belonged to her family!First Palace!200 million!Martha began to float. With her mood now elevated, an arrogant look started to appear on her face.First Palace actually belonged to her family now!“Wait a minute.”Martha immediately switched the phone to the hands-free option and placed it on the tea table. With her arms and legs crossed, she looked very snobbish as she said, “Speak louder, who’s the current owner of First Palace?”The female v
“Wynnie, what’s going on here? When did you buy a villa? Why didn’t you tell me? Also, why is it under Philip’s name as well?” Martha asked in bewilderment.Philip stepped out and wanted to explain, but Martha glared at him while cursing, “Shut up! This has nothing to do with you. I’m asking my daughter.”Martha was very upset now. Why was that good-for-nothing’s name on the villa?Wynn looked unhappy, especially when she saw Martha chastising Philip. Could she not tell that the villa was actually bought by Philip?“Mom, actually this villa is…”Wynn was just about to reply when she was interrupted by Paula. “I know, did you buy this villa using the one billion investment from Clarke Group of Capital City?”Instantly, everyone felt that it was the truth. They were filled with envy, but at the same time, felt contempt toward Wynn too.How long had it been since she was appointed as the chairman of the company and she already started to embezzle the company’s funds? If something w
Martha was almost ready to blow a gasket. Philip actually wanted her to kneel down!This damn useless piece of trash dared to be so bold!“Philip, what are you saying? I’m your mother-in-law, okay!” Martha flushed and glared.She felt very uncertain too. What if Philip really insisted on having her kneel?Argh!She was going mad!This was such a humiliation!Charles stood on one side without saying a word. This unreasonable madwoman who snarled at him every day had finally met her bane.“Charles, what are you doing? Don’t you notice that your son-in-law is acting so brazenly now? Aren’t you going to say a few words?”Martha was very upset when she saw Charles acting as if this matter had nothing to do with him.Charles smiled and said, “Philip, just forget about the matter. We’re a family, after all. What your mother-in-law said this morning was just spiteful words. Don’t take it to heart. No mother-in-law should be forced to kneel to the son-in-law. If any outsiders find out
On the other side, Philip had just left First Palace not too long ago when his phone rang. It was Chloe calling him. “Philip, today’s my birthday. Don’t forget to come and accompany me.”Philip was taken aback when he heard this. Then, he recalled that he had promised to do so. “Okay, I’ll be there later.”“Okay, I’ll pick you up?” Chloe was very happy as she asked.“No need.” Philip shook his head.He had not cleared up his relationship with Chloe Sommerset yet. If she sent a luxury car to pick him up, it would never be cleared up!He did not wish to be seen by others and for gossip to spread later.“Give me the address. I’ll hail a cab later.”“Okay, once you get here, just tell them my name.” Chloe nodded, feeling a little disappointed.After he hung up, Philip thought for a moment and decided not to tell Wynn.He did not want Wynn to overthink this matter. Besides, he had another purpose tonight, and that was to have a showdown with Chloe.Chloe’s birthday party was being
“This tea is simply amazing. I’m surprised that Philip is lucky enough to find this treasure!” “By the way, why is Philip alone? Where's that rabbit?” Everyone looked around but saw no signs of the rabbit and had to give up. In the end, only a mouthful of tea was left in the pot. After much deliberation, they decided to give it to the patriarch. After all, it was a rare treasure! They quickly tied Philip up. Once Philip lost his freedom, they had nothing to worry about. They wanted to take credit for their finding and let the family know about this rare treasure.… Meanwhile, Cameron was in his room, thinking about how to carry out the competition. He had just finished talking with Ronan and was in a good mood. He was surprised by Ronan’s attitude. Ronan did not hold a grudge against them and desperately wanted to join their family, which was simply too good to be true. More importantly, Ronan was strong enough to win the competition for them. Cameron did not care whet
At this moment, Philip noticed something unusual and realized that someone had sneaked into his yard. He was amused that someone dared to mess with him. “Surround this area while I poison him. After he’s dead, don’t forget to bring the rabbit along with us. It’s best if we can figure out the rabbit’s secret. If not, just silence the rabbit too!” The person taking the lead explained the plan. He was none other than Sadie’s husband. For the sake of his position in the family and his son, he had to take the risk. Philip was enjoying his premium spiritual tea, and that fragrance could not be concealed at all. Very soon, the intruders smelled the fragrance and followed their noses to find the source. “Do you smell something fragrant? I feel that my strength has improved after a whiff of this smell!” “I feel refreshed with just one whiff as if my ailment has been relieved. That ailment has been bothering me for years. This is amazing!” Everyone was excited as they tracked the s
Cameron never thought that he would lose to a rabbit in an argument. After a brief silence, he finally decided to ignore the matter for the time being. Since the treasures were in Rabbit’s hands, he had to talk to Ronan about the competition. “Ronan, come with me. I want to tell you about the competition. Your friend can stay. We’ll treat him with the utmost courtesy!” Cameron invited Ronan kindly while signaling to everyone. As long as Ronan was not around, they could attack and even kill Philip on the spot. Philip would be useless once they figured out Rabbit’s secret. If Ronan asked, they could say that Philip decided to leave. Anyway, they had all sorts of excuses to take care of this. Ronan glanced at Philip and walked to the conference hall. Ronan knew that he had to deal with these people himself. Philip was only here to give him courage. Philip gave him a reassuring look and returned to the house. He was interested in the competition, so he wanted to figure out
“Are you talking about this rabbit? He’s not my pet. He belongs to my friend.” Ronan shrugged. He wanted such a pet, but he was not good enough. Hearing that, Cameron's face turned pale. Although the rabbit was an additional benefit, he never thought that he would fail to get it. Cameron glared at Philip. He did not have a good impression of Philip. Philip looked like a troublemaker. He suspected that Philip had influenced Ronan into making things difficult for them. Cameron wanted to drive Philip away, but Ronan abruptly said that this matter was related to Philip. Before he could weigh the pros and cons, Cameron decided to hide his emotions. At least, he could not reveal his dislike for Philip. “I see. Your friend seems like a casual practitioner. Why don't he consider joining our family? For your sake, I can give him the same treatment and allow the two of you to take part in the competition as representatives of the family. I believe you’ll do your best and won’t let me
At this time, Rabbit hopped to Philip's side. “Philip, I was out for a walk yesterday and heard some rumors. They’ll be holding a competition among the humans soon, and all major families and forces will send some contestants for the fight. “Either a family or a force that is in charge of an area can join the competition. I heard that the Claude family is taking part.” Hearing this, and combined with their reaction, Philip guessed something. They probably wanted to trick Ronan into participating in the competition, which was why they were approaching him so enthusiastically. “There’s more.” Rabbit smiled and leaned forward, clearly asking for a beating. Philip saw Rabbit’s reaction and hit his face. “Just spit it out. Stop messing around!” Rabbit chuckled and said, “I heard that the Claude family is negotiating a business deal, and the prerequisite is that Ronan must participate in the competition and win first place. Although I don't know why, that’s the only condition the
Everyone was dumbfounded. No one thought that Ronan would take action without paying any heed to them. Cameron panicked and ordered his men to stop Ronan, “Guards, take action! You have to stop Ronan!” His face turned pale, and he wished that the guards could kill Ronan. However, he suddenly remembered the deal between the businessman and himself. “Wait, don’t kill him. I want him alive. I need him for something important!” Cameron shouted nervously as if he was sure that his guards would defeat Ronan. Other than the guards, other family members also stepped forward. They wanted to show off their strength. Seeing this, Philip waved to Ronan. He would take action if required. Ronan waved his hand indifferently in response. He did not need Philip’s help for now. He was strong enough to take care of it. At this time, Rabbit appeared drowsily. Rabbit led a carefree life, and Philip always let him be, so he was an idle rabbit. After Cameron and the others saw Rabbit, their e
Ronan became more confident after the chat with Philip. If anyone dared to mess with him, he would not hesitate to teach them a good lesson. Cameron looked around but did not see Rabbit. He was worried but went straight to the point. “My child, after all these years, have you finally decided to return to the family?” Cameron smiled as he attempted the emotional approach as if Ronan had lived outside over the years because of his own decision. Hearing that, Ronan coughed and nearly threw up. Cameron was really good at blaming him. “What do you mean? Did I ask you to kick me out of the house?” Ronan's eyes flashed with anger. As a weak and powerless child back then, he was kicked out of the house right after his mother’s death. That feeling was really humiliating. All his grievances over the years exploded at this point. He could not tolerate these hypocritical people anymore. Cameron noticed Ronan’s reaction and knew that it was bad. This matter was out of his control. Ronan
“Since you've accepted my things, you should…” Cameron rubbed his hands excitedly, looking at Rabbit smugly and expectantly. His men looked at Rabbit in delight. It would be great if they could get storage space. Rabbit shook his head in disdain. “What are you thinking? Do you think you’re worthy of me? You don’t even have a measly storage space. Who are you to bargain with me?” Rabbit kicked the nearest person away. “Don’t bother me again or that’ll be your outcome!” He hopped back into the house. He was not afraid that they would mess with him. Cameron was shocked that Rabbit would go back on his word after taking their things. He was furious. Those were the treasures of the family. It would be a disaster if they lost them. However, it was clearly not the right time to dwell on it. Cameron decided to talk to Rabbit again tomorrow. He had to talk to Ronan anyway. It would be best if he could fool them. “Let’s get some rest for the night and talk about it tomorrow morning
Cameron persuaded Rabbit excitedly. In his opinion, he was halfway to success. Rabbit nodded. “Give me what you have for now. At least show me your sincerity. You should know that the guy inside offered me a high price!” Rabbit fooled Cameron. He wanted to know what Cameron could come up with. Just crystals alone would be a letdown. Hearing that, Cameron waved to his men, signaling them to take out all the good things from the warehouse, at least to fool Rabbit for the time being. His men reluctantly went to the warehouse and took out all the treasures they had collected. Anyway, it was just for show and would not really be given to the rabbit, so they did not object. It would be a great deal if these treasures could attract a guardian beast. Rabbit nodded with satisfaction at these things. He waved his hand, and everything vanished from those people’s hands. Everyone was shocked and wondered what was going on. There was no such thing as storage space in this world. They ha
