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
Over here, Tasha put on her white gloves and brought out a delicate box under everyone’s watchful gazes. Then, she walked to the anteroom.She peered at Philip who was looking calm and hurled abuses at him in her heart. ‘I’ll see how he’s going to afford this later. What a dumb*ss!’This sapphire necklace cost eight million bucks!Everyone was waiting patiently. Their eyes were all glued on the box in Tasha’s hands.It was obvious that this necklace was expensive just from the box alone.Was the sapphire necklace inside?A few of them started to sigh internally. At the same time, they were also looking down on people like Philip.He was just a piece of trash who depended on his woman. Why was he trying to fight with the young master of a jewelry shop?“It’s here. It’s here.”Colton was excited. This was the best chance for him to be pretentious, so he could not let this chance go to waste. A fool was presenting himself to be his footstool. It was such a nice feeling.Tasha sm
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
It felt good to have a capable henchman around. Philip could not be bothered to waste his precious time on these losers. Cameron and his men reached the door when a rabbit fell from the sky. The old woman and the others knew the rabbit’s habits and warned everyone to watch out. However, the elites were caught off guard and looked around blankly, wondering what was going on. The next moment, the loudmouthed man was knocked to the ground. Rabbit landed on the guy and started punching and kicking, certain that the man would suffer the utmost pain from this beating. Cameron and the others were dumbfounded by this scene. They had heard of powerful spirit pets but had never seen a rabbit as a spirit pet. The rabbit was good at fighting, so it should not be an ordinary creature. “Go away and stop bothering us. I’ll kill you if I don’t get a good night’s sleep! Let me show you what I can do!” Rabbit swung his fists seemingly at random, but every punch landed. Cameron stood far aw
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
