“Renner, why aren’t you apologizing to Mr. Clarke? Don’t you want your project to be approved?”Nick stopped smiling and began to weaponize his authority instead.Mont immediately panicked. Very reluctantly, he told Philip, “Sorry, I was rude to you just now. I hope you won’t hold it against your uncle.”Philip smiled. “No worries, Uncle Mont. We are family, after all.”Everyone burst out laughing at that, all to try and ease the tension in the air.Only Cindi and her mother continued to look constipated. They wanted to criticize Philip some more, but they never expected that good-for-nothing to know someone as impressive as Nick Cage.The others were shocked as well, but they hid their reaction behind awkward smiles.Just a second ago, that man was a worthless wretch just about anyone could criticize, but now they were saying that he was friends with Nick Cage, a director at the Land Registry. What a miraculous turn of events!Everyone returned to the room, but over the meal,
Wynn was beside herself with anxiety. “I don’t know! The hospital called and said it was an accident.”An accident?F*ck!Philip slammed the gas and raced toward the hospital.Once they reached the hospital, Wynn scrambled out of the car. There were a great many ambulances crowding the entrance, and the casualties kept streaming in.The hospital was in complete chaos!Several dozen nurses and doctors were yelling at the top of their voices,“Over here, over here! This one’s critical! Stop the bleeding, stat!”“We need oxygen over here!”“Hurry up and get more hands in from other hospitals! Call the director!”The scene was a complete mess. There was an endless stream of victims covered in blood getting carted out of the ambulances!The whole place smelled of blood!There were missing arms and legs everywhere!The wailing never stopped!Wynn was faint with shock. Her entire body trembled and she clapped her hand over her mouth, looking for something amongst the bodies cove
“What, now the two of you are ganging up to defend that wretch? Won’t you spare a thought for me at all?”Martha was furious and especially unhappy when she saw that Charles and Wynn were united against her.She was the master of this household.Philip was nothing!“Mom, could you stop being so unreasonable?”Wynn was flabbergasted. What was wrong with her mother now? Why did she have such a temper all of a sudden?”“I’m being unreasonable? Look at him, he’s just standing there! He could’ve at least asked to look at our wounds. We might seem fine at first, but what if we’re more badly injured somewhere you can’t see? All he’s doing is standing there. I bet he just wants us to die as soon as possible!”Martha said fiercely, her brows raised viciously and her expression icy. Her gaze shone with her rage at Philip.“Alright, Mom, Dad. I’ll go call a doctor now.”Philip had no choice. He turned and jogged off to get a doctor.Even Philip had no idea how he had survived three year
Philip looked at Wynn’s curious gaze and mused it over for a moment before saying, “Actually, Wynn, Nick knows Giada. He’s just polite to me out of respect to her.”Giada?Wynn blinked. It suddenly occurred to her that Philip’s stepmother seemed like a very impressive woman.She nodded to show that she believed him. “No wonder. And here I thought that you were…”“That I’m what?”Philip was suddenly nervous.Did Wynn stumble onto something?“No, it’s nothing. We should just go to sleep now, okay? I have a ton of work to do tomorrow."Wynn smiled and did not pursue that train of thought further.After a few days, Martha had mostly recovered and started getting back to her old tricks in the villa again.When Charles saw how she mumbled to herself all day about coming up with a name for the villa, he was once again flabbergasted. "Martha Yates, could you stop your ridiculous plotting for one second? Isn't it enough for us to just stay here as one big happy family? Do you have t
Had she been kidnapped?The driver threw away his instant noodles and walked over with a baseball bat.The sound of it against the floor triggered Martha’s every nerve.She yelled, “Don’t kill me! I’ll give you money, I’ll give you money!”However, when she saw the person after he got closer, she was completely stunned as if she had been struck by lightning.“You!” Martha screamed in terror.The driver in a black skintight outfit removed his cap and guffawed malevolently. He said, “Aunt Martha, I trust you’ve been well since we last met. It looks like you still remember me.”“Joel… Joel, did you get the wrong person? I asked you to teach Philip, that useless bum, a lesson. Please let me go. My head hurts. Take me to the hospital now.”Martha wailed. She was petrified.Joel was only two steps away from her. He squatted down, and she could see that his face was so thin he looked disfigured. His eyes were sunken, and he had dark eye circles. He looked like a ghost.“Shhh.” Joel
Wynn was slightly startled. Do not bring Philip?Why?However, she did not want to argue with Martha, so she simply agreed. Then, she drove the BMW Philip bought her and headed to the villa.Over here, Martha hung up the phone and cowered in a corner. Her entire body was shaking in fear and terror. She stammered and asked, “J-Joel… You won’t do anything to Wynn, right?”Martha was worried, especially when she saw Joel in this state. He was terrifying. If he did anything to Wynn, how could she live on? How would she face Wynn?Joel chuckled coldly. He got up, and when he was about to approach her, Martha fell on the floor in fear. She started wailing and crying loudly. She was petrified.“Don’t worry, Aunt Martha. I love Wynn so much. I won’t do anything to her. I just want to tell her something.”Joel chuckled coldly. Then, he took out a blue pill and threw it to Martha. He said, “Make tea for Wynn later. Let her drink this and you can go.”This was a special pill imported from
Wynn struggled with all her might. She pushed Joel away and was pale from fear. “Joel Harris, you monster! What are you doing? I’m warning you, if you dare to touch me, I won’t forgive you! Philip will not forgive you as well!”Philip. It was that Philip again!When Joel thought about Philip, it was as if his brain exploded. He was being devoured by flames of anger!“Wynnie, I’m advising you to submit to me so that you won’t get hurt. Today, no one will come and save you. I’ll take you in front of Philip!”Slap!Wynn lifted her hand and slapped him. Her hand landed heavily on Joel’s face. She used all her might and yelled, “You pervert!”Joel started laughing coldly after this slap. He tilted his head and stared at Wynn. “Yeah, slap me more. I love it when you slap me.”Then, he pounced on her aggressively before pushing her against the sofa.“Ah! Let go of me! Let go! Help! Mom, help me, help me…”Wynn struggled with all of her might as she yelled at the top of her lungs.Ho
His anger was evident.Looking at the scene in front of him, Philip could not hide the anger in him.Damn it. Joel Harris still dared to show himself!He was asking for death!If Tiger had not come and told him that Martha brought a weird man home and that she looked like she had been attacked from the way she walked, Philip would not have come.The security in the villa did not have a choice as well. Martha was the one who brought him here. They had their own rules of not asking about the business of the residents in Longford Park.Plus, Martha was purposely hiding the wounds on her body, so the security did not notice.The housekeepers of the villa had been dismissed by Martha a few days ago. Her reason being they were a waste of money.Meanwhile, she pocketed the money herself.It could be said that aside from these few people, there was no one else in First Palace today.Philip’s eyes were wide, and he was baring his teeth. Anger was boiling inside of him as he charged fo
“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
