When Martha heard that, she started trembling. She pulled her blanket over her head and pretended to sleep.However, the trembling blanket clearly showed how terrified Martha was right now.“Martha!”Philip was livid. Martha did not have a limit. How could she make her daughter fall into a trap like this?Philip was vehement. This mother-in-law of the year had completely disappointed him!He barged into the room and spotted Martha curled up under the blanket. The entire blanket was shaking.“Get up!”Philip yelled.Charles tried to stop Philip. He said, “Alright, Philip. Nothing bad happened, right? Plus, your mom had no choice. You can’t blame her completely.”Philip glared at Charles and said angrily, “Charles Johnston, stay back!”Charles was stunned. He was shocked by Philip’s cold and angry words. He walked to one side while trembling.This time, Martha shot up from under her blanket. She had been watching the entire thing from a small corner under her blanket. She cowe
Philip did not know what to do because he had never experienced this before. He could sense a tinge of jealousy in the air. Were these two beauties fighting over him?“Alright, stop fighting.”Philip’s face was filled with awkwardness. He did not know how to end this.He was feeling remorseful toward Chloe.“No need, this place is so small. There’s no space for me anymore. I’m leaving.”Chloe took her bag and left.“Why aren’t you chasing after her? Go and coax your ex-fiancée.”Wynn peered at Philip coldly. She was feeling pleased with herself. See, the person Philip cared about the most was still her.She was throwing a tantrum now. She wanted to see who Philip loved.“Wynnie, please give me a break. There’s nothing between us.”Philip felt aggrieved. It would be fine if there was really something going on between him and Chloe, but there was truly nothing between them.It had been so many years. She could not keep bringing up the past, right?“Hmph!”Wynn scoffed coquet
After the manager said that, he eyed the server next to him.Then, two bodyguards in suits walked over. Their faces were cold, and they looked terrifying.A high-end restaurant like this would have their own bodyguards. The reason for this was to prevent people from making a fuss and affecting the other customers’ dining experience.After all, this was not a stall at the side of the road. Everyone who dined here was powerful and influential.“Hehe, kid, did you hear that? Get the f*ck out now! Why don’t you look at yourself before you act all arrogant with me?”Young Master Berkshire had a cold smirk on his face right now. He was extremely arrogant and despotic. He was being haughty, looking down on everyone.In his opinion, there was nothing he could not get.It was just a stupid table and this man was trying to fight him for it. What a blind fool!He was the young master of the Berkshires in Capital City. He paid hundreds of thousands to be a member here.Of course, the mana
A lot of people came here not to eat but to drink. The alcohol here was more rich and mellow. The aftertaste would linger in one’s mouth longer.When they heard Young Master Berkshire’s offer, everyone cheered on happily. They lifted their glasses and wished Young Master Berkshire’s girlfriend a happy birthday.The beauty queen of the university never experienced such a romantic gesture before. Her face was red, and she was infatuated with what was happening. She was feeling ecstatic in an instant.However, this was just the start. Young Master Berkshire took out a jewelry box from Auspicious Phoenix and opened it slowly. There was a dazzling gemstone necklace inside. He said in feigned gentleness, “Dear, happy birthday. I’ll love you forever. I’ll love you until the end of the world.”“Hooray!”The crowd witnessed what was going on. They were clapping and cheering for the couple.There were tears in the beauty queen’s eyes. She went to look at the necklace he bought her. It cost
Philip fell silent for a while. Then, he looked at Wynn and said, “You really want to know?”Wynn nodded and said, “Yeah.”Philip nodded. Then, he said in all seriousness, “Wynnie, I’m actually a nouveau riche.”Wynn listened to him while nodding. “Yeah, I know. Your family runs restaurants, and you bought the villa.”Philip frowned and explained. “No, maybe my nouveau riche is different from what you understand. I mean, I, Philip Clarke, am a nouveau riche. I’m loaded.”“How loaded?”Wynn ate her dessert and squinted. Her eyes were as beautiful as crescent moons. There was also a gentle smile on her lips.“Do you know Clarke Group?” Philip asked.Wynn nodded. She said, “Yeah, didn’t I go to their party last time? Too bad I didn’t get to meet Young Master Clarke.”Philip smiled and said, “Actually, Young Master Clarke is sitting in front of you.”“You?”Wynn was taken aback. She looked at Philip curiously. After a while, she reached out her fair hand and touched Philip’s for
Ethereal Jewels!When they walked in, they saw that there were quite a lot of people in the shop. There were more than ten salespeople in the shop. They were all wearing black uniforms.It was the biggest jewelry shop in Riverdale indeed. The shop was so lordly.“Sir, how can I help you?”A saleslady walked over to them. She had a standard smile on her face and did a 30-degree bow.“Oh, I want to look at necklaces,” Philip said.Wynn was holding on to his arm. Then, she spotted something and ran over. She looked at the shiny jewelry in the glass case and was happy.Philip looked around and saw that all the major brands were here. They had all kinds of items ranging from gold, silver, diamonds, and even jade.They were also not cheap. Each one was at least tens of thousands.The saleslady was not a normal person as well. Since she was working in this industry, she had already trained herself to have a pair of sharp eyes.This pair of lovers looked normal. The guy looked ordina
Some of the customers started discussing among themselves.“Isn’t that Young Master Berkshire from Ethereal Jewels? Why’s he here?”“Don’t you see that there’s beef between Young Master Berkshire and that man?”“What penniless fool? I don’t understand. Wasn’t that kid about to buy a necklace worth 290,000 bucks? How’s he a penniless fool?”The crowd was puzzled. Was this the world of the rich?This man was about to buy a necklace worth 290,000 bucks and he was still being called penniless…Tasha was taken aback. She looked at Philip. If Young Master Berkshire said he was a penniless fool, then he was indeed a penniless fool. How would he have the money to buy this latest pink diamond necklace that cost 290,000 bucks?While she thought about this, there was fury and disdain in Tasha’s eyes.Damn it!He was just another penniless poser who wanted to make his wife happy.After this, he would definitely say there was something wrong with the necklace or maybe he would make up an
“Um, I’m buying that necklace.”The middle-aged man smiled and said. He did not mind showing off his wealth.The woman next to him was excited. She was calling him ‘honey’ sweetly and they even started kissing in public.“Pretty lady, this is my card. Call me if you need anything.”The middle-aged man walked over to Wynn with a huge grin on his face and handed her a card. The woman who was feeling excited moments ago now stomped her foot angrily.Wynn did not take the card. She declined tactfully. “No thanks.”The middle-aged man was embarrassed. He smiled timidly and backed away. Then, he started arguing with his lover.Over here, Colton was feeling pleased. He loved forcing people to dead ends.Who let him have so much money?‘You embarrassed me in the restaurant. If I don’t f*ck you up today, my name’s not Colton Berkshire!’“You sound like you have a lot of money. Alright then, since you want to give your wife a present, you should give her the most expensive one.”Colto
If Philip was at fault, Lincoln had nothing to say. However, if Hogster was the one who had caused all the trouble, he would not spare them. “I’ll get to the bottom of this. Now, tell me what’s going on with Dennis. Based on my understanding of him, he wouldn't betray the guild for no reason. He must have a reason for doing this!” Neither of them could explain what happened to Dennis. They could only say that humans were fickle. After all, they could not figure it out either. The person at fault would never admit their fault. Alain did not think that he was biased or thought that what he had done was excessive. He simply thought that Dennis looked down on him, which was why he decided to leave. Now that he was gone, Alain could say whatever he wanted, and Dennis could not defend himself. Thinking of this, Alain was very excited. He began to defame Dennis and shifted the attention away from him and his son. Lincoln scowled as he listened. Then, he returned to his room and summ
Alain was helpless. Although he had a lot to say, he could not do anything in front of Lincoln. Lincoln was stronger than him in every aspect, a force to be reckoned with. He was not someone Alain could deal with. Alain looked at Lincoln awkwardly. He wanted to appease his anger but did not know what to say. “You need to explain this to me. Why did Dennis leave? And I want to know why the guild’s reputation has become so bad. Did you do something wrong?”Lincoln heard that Dennis had been expelled and could no longer stay in the guild. Many people supported Dennis, so they were upset with Alain and tried to defame him. Hearing that, Alain knew that someone must have been talking behind his back, but he did not dare to lose his temper. He forced a smile and looked at Lincoln in a flattering manner. Before he could find an excuse, Hogster rushed over excitedly and said to his father, “Father, guess what I did to Philip? Hehe!” Hogster recounted his handiwork smugly without p
It had been years since the grandmaster went into seclusion for practice. He was not concerned about power. He once mentioned that he would not leave his seclusion unless he reached the top. Hence, no one expected to see him. “Grandmaster, you appeared at the right time. We would've been in trouble if you didn't come out!” “That’s right. Everyone is bullying us. Now that you’re out, you can help us.” Everyone complained about their grievances, feeling sorry for themselves. The Hexa Guild was in trouble, and they faced various problems too. All the major guilds were keeping a close eye on the Hexa Guild, waiting to see them make a fool of themselves. The Celestial Palace planned to destroy the Hexa Guild instead of letting them off. They could not accept the initial setup, so they decided to erase the Hexa Guild from existence. Hence, the Hexa Guild had been under great pressure, with the members wishing that someone could help them. Unexpectedly, a strong expert appeared.
Ronan was his buddy, and his wife's reputation was at stake. Philip could not stand idly by. He had to help. Jamie was very fast at ordering his people to make the matter public. No one expected another dramatic turn of events. Everyone thought that the young lady of the Celestial Palace was an unchaste woman for making that decision. Unexpectedly, the Celestial Palace found a way to solve the side effects of their technique. All the major guilds were in trepidation. Although the Celestial Palace’s technique was very powerful, the side effects reduced its allure. Now that that problem was solved, everything was different. On top of that, the holy maiden and other members of the guild showed their appearance in public. Regardless of gender, everyone was beautiful without any markings on their faces. After seeing this scene, everyone knew that the Celestial Palace was about to make a comeback. Carlos was very excited and thought that Vanna was a lucky star to bring so many
After reading the letter, Alain trembled in anger, shocked that two of his strongest members would choose to leave the guild at such a critical time. Their departure was no joke. The guild could lose the guild competition at any minute! Dennis and Louis were very strong and could hold down the fort in the competition. With their departure, Alain would have fewer people to count on, and things might end up a mess. He was furious about their abrupt departure. “I need to capture Dennis. How dare he betray us?!” Alain was very upset. As a traitor, Dennis had to be dealt with. The news quickly spread, and many members found out that Dennis had chosen to leave the guild. The other elders also wondered what they should do. They knew that Dennis was a smart man and was good at judging the situation. Choosing to leave was a sign of a change to come. Everyone had their own thoughts and a rough guess about what was going on. Alain's actions not only caused an uproar but also made
A young man about the same age as him was so talented. Could anyone not be jealous? However, Louis was truly not jealous. He just wanted to learn from Philip. If Philip was really that strong, he would obey. Although Louis had a high status in the guild, he was not highly valued. That useless loser was given priority when it came to most of the resources, which made Louis upset. By right, resources should be allocated to talented people, but things were different because Hogster had a guild leader for a father. Thinking of this, Louis smiled at Philip expectantly. If Philip was worth following, he would leave the Hexa Guild without hesitation. “I want to apologize for offending you earlier. I also want to follow you, but I don’t know if I’m good enough. If you won’t consider me, I hope you can give my son a chance. He’s pretty talented.” Dennis was very polite as he apologized to Philip. Philip was surprised and thought that Dennis was quite nice. Philip invited them insi
Dennis and Louis quickly arrived at the door and knocked nervously. Rabbit opened the door this time. He did not expect to see Dennis again. He thought Dennis was here to cause trouble, so he scowled. “Why are you here again, old man? Do you want to cause more trouble for us? You’d better think twice or I’m going to get angry!” Rabbit said fiercely. Rabbit easily crushed them earlier, so they would not forget about their miserable defeat so quickly. Louis was embarrassed to hear that this rabbit had defeated his father. He had always thought that Dennis was very powerful and would not lose to a younger person no matter what. Unexpectedly, Dennis was not only defeated but lost miserably too. Louis keenly perceived that this talking rabbit was Philip’s pet and became excited. If Philip's pet was so powerful, Philip should be better. Thinking of this, he was excited and wanted to see Philip immediately. Rabbit stared at Dennis and Louis, wondering what they were up to. Denni
Celeste was surprised to see that Esther had restored her appearance. She had just seen Esther wearing a veil to cover her ugly face when they first met earlier. “Amazing! You look beautiful all of a sudden,” Celeste praised Esther from the bottom of her heart. Celeste did not know how it happened, but there had to be a reason for it. Esther smiled at Celeste. “Now that I’m beautiful, I can fully focus on taking care of Philip. Don’t worry, I won’t be worse than you.” Hearing that, Celeste was puzzled by Esther’s aggression. While everyone was lost in their own thoughts, an uninvited guest turned up at the door. It was none other than Dennis of the Hexa Guild. Dennis was not alone as he had brought his son along with him. His son was quite talented and always listened to his father's opinions. After all, he knew that he would not be where he was without his father’s guidance, and most of his father’s decisions were correct. “Father, are you sure we should leave the guild
Esther never thought that her curse could be lifted so quickly. More importantly, Esther found that all the negative energy in her body had disappeared. She took off her veil and looked at them with her true appearance. Esther was beautiful by nature, but the nasty technique had impacted her self-esteem. Now that she had regained her appearance, Esther’s confidence returned as well. “Wonderful! This technique is the perfect improved version! With this technique, our members can practice like any normal person without worrying about their appearance. Other guilds can’t kick a fuss over it or try to mess with us again!” Jamie was ecstatic and abruptly remembered a very important question. “By the way, what’s the deal with this technique? Did someone give it to you?” Jamie had to get to the bottom of it. It was very important. He would be uneasy if he did not figure out the situation. “Philip gave it to me. I don't know how he got our technique, but he’s quite good at studying
