“You have to get into your teacher’s good books. It’d be great if you could learn how to make pills!” Douglas completely surrendered to Philip. Why should he refuse to follow such a capable person? Moreover, based on the information he found, Philip was a member of the Clarke family too. It was expected for the young patriarch of the Clarke family to be so amazing. “I declare that from now on, our family will always be loyal to Philip!” Douglas swore upon his soul, and everyone in the family instantly had a soul imprint in their hearts. No one dared to raise any objections about this. Douglas knew very well that Philip would definitely rise to the top, and this was the best opportunity to ride on his coattails. If they could make Philip notice them in advance, they would become legendary elder-level figures once Philip developed his force. “Go and hang out with your teacher as much as you can. After all, we're his student’s family. No matter what, we should forge a cl
Preston impatiently knocked on the door, which Martha opened. She looked at Preston with some anticipation, surprised that this legendary miracle doctor was so impatient. A few days ago, Wynn mentioned that this miracle doctor had cured their illness. She was very excited and was trying to think of a way to please him. She had thought of many excuses, but none of them seemed appropriate. Unexpectedly, the miracle doctor appeared at her doorstep today. “You’re here, Doctor. We’re about to have dinner. Do you want to join us?” Martha invited him happily. At the thought of having dinner with Philip, Preston quickly agreed. He rushed into Philip's room, wanting to talk to Philip about the auction. Mila was doing her homework with Wynn in the study next door, while Philip was studying medical books and various charms in the room. “Teacher,” Preston opened the door and greeted him tentatively. Philip was a little curious about Preston’s repeated visits. “Why are you here
At this point, Philip had no intention of disclosing this pill to outsiders. With the Stein family on his side, even if someone asked about the pill’s origin, he could say they gave it to him. No one would dare to mess with a practitioner family for no reason, not to mention one of the top families in Rhineville. After a quick meal, Philip and Wynn exchanged a few words before he left the house and followed Preston to the auction venue. “Not only locals will attend this event. There should be many outsiders too.” Preston told Philip to expect many competitors this time. “I just want to have an eye-opening experience and see if there’s anything I need. As for competing with the rich, I’m no match for them at all.” Philip laughed mockingly. Philip had no money now. Everything he had was earned by Wynn when she started her company a few years ago. If not for Wynn’s earning ability, the family might have had to rent a house. Philip took out a camouflage pill and handed it
All the female attendants at the venue wanted to marry into a truly wealthy family and become a rich lady in one fell swoop. “Hey, this person looks familiar.” An attendant looked at the man not far away in surprise. Everyone gathered around and chattered incessantly. “Ella, why do you keep staring at the man over there? Have you taken a fancy to him?” They were concerned about Ella's new target, but she scowled. “The guy over there looks like someone I know!” Ella frowned, thinking that the guy looked very familiar. However, Ella knew that no one she knew would appear here. “Could it be your ex-boyfriend? I see two handsome men standing over there!” “If so, you missed out on a rich kid!” As attendants, they knew that only people with status could come here. That did not include ordinary rich people. Only the affluent were allowed entry to the auction venue. Therefore, other than the extremely rich, only practitioner families were allowed. That was all that th
Philip could have entered the venue earlier, but Preston said that a person of high status did not have to enter so quickly. Although Philip wanted to keep a low profile, he did not want to disapprove of Preston’s suggestion. Indeed, a reclusive family had to display their dignity. Some people lingered at the door without entering the venue too. They glanced at the female attendants from time to time, their minds racing. They were not from wealthy families but simply tagged along with their friends. They usually would not come across such beauties in their average daily lives. As Ella walked over with her friend Tania, everyone smiled at them lecherously. “Here they come. It’s the goddess I’ve been keeping my eye on. She must be here for me!” “Nonsense, she’s here for me!” As they chattered excitedly, Ella went up to Philip. “Are you Philip Clarke?” Ella smiled brightly, looking very gentle. “Who are you?” Philip frowned, not knowing who she was. Philip though
Ella was furious at Philip’s aloof reaction. Philip did not have a good impression of Ella. Besides, she always liked to badmouth him. However, everything was in the past, and Philip had no intention of holding a grudge against her. With Philip disregarding her, Ella felt that her dignity was ruffled. In Ella’s opinion, if Philip was from a wealthy family, it would be acceptable if he looked down on her. However, now that the Clarke family was gone, Philip was nothing but a sore loser! How dare he speak to her so arrogantly? When energy first revived back then, many people moved to this city. She did not expect to see Philip too. What bad luck! Unlike Philip, she came here looking for a job, while Philip must be on the run! Their status was different now. She was a distinguished woman waiting to marry into a wealthy family. What about Philip? He was nothing but a rat on the streets! Feeling angry, Ella's scowl grew bigger. Tania noticed her expression and deci
Tania stared at Preston blankly, at a loss of what to do. “You loser! You dare to look for help? How dare you mess with us?!” Tania rushed forward and grabbed Preston. “Security, come quickly! Someone is assaulting my friend!” Not many people noticed the commotion here, but Tania’s shout attracted everyone’s attention. Those who had not entered the venue quickly came over to watch the excitement, while some came out from the venue too. Tania grabbed a random onlooker. “Sir, you should have seen everything just now. They hurt my friend first!” Tania delicately leaned against the other party as she spoke. This guy was just an ordinary rich man who tagged along with his friends. Faced with Tania’s charms, he quickly fell under her spell. Several other men who wanted to please the beautiful women also stepped forward. They accused Philip and Preston and expressed their willingness to stand up for justice. Preston glanced at Philip with a hint of question in his eyes.
As attendants, Tania and Ella should be taking care of the guests at this moment. Instead, they had a conflict with the guests at the entrance and were beaten to a pulp. This would greatly impact the reputation of the Nonagon Hotel! If their competitors got hold of evidence about this incident and contacted the media to kick up a big fuss, they would be doomed. “Captain, you must speak up for us. This guy beat us for no reason. He doesn’t respect us at all!” Tania said fiercely. She hated Philip and Preston with all her heart now. Ella struggled to stand up. She felt that her ribs were broken, but in order to get Philip into trouble, she chose to endure the pain. “This guy refused to keep his hands to himself and even hit me!” Ella got the job here with the help of one of her ex-boyfriends. Although they had broken up, she still worked as an attendant. Everyone knew that she had a relationship with someone from the hotel’s management team, so they always tried to plea
