It was just like the family conscription order the previous time. Philip had to go through George and even asked for Giada’s advice.Even if they successfully maneuvered the military forces eventually, they would still be met with protests from the uncles and the dissatisfaction of the world-class seniors.However, now that he had the Sovereignty Seal, Philip would be able to maneuver the troops all he wanted and no one would dare say anything about it.That was Tim’s power and status.This was the power of the Clarkes.No country in the world would dare to go against the order of the owner of this thumb ring.When they saw this thumb ring, it would be as if they saw the Lord himself.Of course, there were three Sovereignty Seals.They were mutually restrictive.As for the remaining two, one was with Giada and the other one was with Philip’s biological mother, Charlotte Larson.However, Charlotte’s thumb ring was gone in that accident.Now, everyone only knew about the remai
Hudson smiled and did not say anything.The two of them parted ways, and Wynn went back to the villa. Her brain was occupied by what Hudson said just now.‘The person I keep seeing? I know him?’Philip flashed across Wynn’s mind. Could it be him?A lot of things had happened lately. When Wynn tried to connect the dots, she felt like she did not understand Philip at all.Who was her husband? What was he hiding?When she thought about that, she opened her bag and took out the bank card Philip gave her.She decided to check the bank balance tomorrow.One more thing.Wynn rummaged through her drawers and found the gold card that was imprinted with the word ‘Wallis’. It was given to her by Giada.Giada had told her that as long as she took this card to any shop with the Wallises’ name, she could find Giada.Wynn felt conflicted. It was not that she did not trust Philip, but too many things had been happening recently. She needed to verify this.Especially what Hudson had said to
When Wynn heard this, she felt uneasy. She asked, “Mom, how can you think of Philip like this? Don’t you know what kind of person Philip is?”“What kind of person is he?”Martha rolled her eyes sarcastically and said earnestly, “Wynnie, you won’t go wrong if you trust me. I went through this before. Philip is definitely a playboy. You have to prepare yourself. Let’s not talk about other things. We’ll just talk about this villa. We have to get our hands on this villa. That way, the three years you’re married to him won’t be a waste. You gave him a child and you have another one coming. If he decides to be unfaithful in the future and divorce you, what will you do?”“Mom, please leave. Can you stop spewing nonsense?”Wynn was extremely annoyed. Her mother really had the guts to say anything.After she said that, she took her clothes to the toilet.Martha was fuming. She sat in the bedroom and poured the milk into the rubbish bin. She scolded Wynn. “You thankless wench, you don’t un
After the unadorned and heavy door was pushed open, Philip turned around and saw a figure.The man had a red and golden cane with a dragon’s head. He was over 70 years old and was slightly hunchbacked. His eyes were squinted, and there was a slight smile on his face.He stood at the door like a mountain. Everyone in the hall did not dare to breathe in his presence.Even if he had restrained his temperament quite well, the reputation and talent in his bones were able to make Philip frown.Jack Wallis.The current person in charge of the Wallis family. Giada’s father.This person was extremely conceited and arrogant.He spent 40 years making the Wallises into the biggest family. They were just below the Clarkes.This person was also super ambitious.Behind Jack was a middle-aged man who looked about 40 to 50 years old. His hair was grey, and he was wearing a pair of black glasses. He held a briefcase in his hand and had a black suit on with a tie. He kept nodding his head, but i
Tim sat on the sofa and threw his head back in laughter. “Giada, you Wallises are always so impatient. How can you achieve something big in the future?”Philip sat at one side the entire time and did not utter a word.He knew his Uncle Tim was the one standing up for him now.Giada’s face fell, and the corner of her lips twitched. She wanted so badly to kill Tim now. That way, the Clarkes would have one less person in charge.However, she did not dare to.She had restraining fear about the power in Tim’s hands.Of course, Tim also had restraining fear about Giada’s power after so many years.The two of them fought openly and maneuvered covertly for so many years. Other than that, they would also restrict each other.“Alright, we’re all family.”Jack finally opened his mouth. He sat at the main sofa with both of his hands resting on his dragon head cane. He looked at Philip and asked with sudden interest, “This must be Roger’s son, Philip. He’s outstanding indeed. He looks very
“Wynn, why did you come looking for me so suddenly?”At the same time, Giada walked into the guest hall with a gentle smile on her face. She stood in front of Wynn and obstructed her view.Giada looked like another woman compared to when she was in the hall.Wynn saw the two figures vaguely before they disappeared into the night and out of the manor.“Aunt Giada,” said Wynn politely.Giada grabbed her arm and sat down on the sofa. She asked her servants to prepare some desserts.Over here, Philip and Tim had already exited the manor. Philip turned around suspiciously. He thought he heard Wynn’s name being called just now.He shook his head, opened the car door, and got in.Back to Wynn. She was still feeling uneasy, especially when she was facing Giada.This woman was Philip’s stepmother, and Philip had some misunderstandings with her.“Wynnie, come, freshly made desserts. It’s a specialty in the South River District.”Giada smiled warmly as she picked up a slice of green ca
“Philip, is there anything you’re hiding from me?”Wynn asked and looked intensely at Philip.Philip approached her and held her in his arms. He smiled and said, “No. What are you thinking? I’ve told you everything I need to.”Philip was betting that Giada had not said anything to her.He knew she would not tell Wynn anything.If that was the case, he could bring Wynn and Mila back home in a right and proper manner.As for why he refused to tell Wynn his real identity, Philip had his own considerations as well.Wynn came from an ordinary family. She did not have the foundation nor a huge family as her backing. If Philip revealed who he was or if he brought them home, the Wallises and the other powers might want to take action against them.In this world, the Wallises were not the only family eyeing the Clarkes.The situation now was like a tug of war. The end of the rope with more people would most likely be the winning side.Once Philip broke this equilibrium, the chain reac
Martha could not bring herself to fight back and be unreasonable in front of Giada. This woman was too overbearing!She was only ferocious in her own territory. She would only be aggressive toward Philip.If she was with an outsider, she would be so cowardly that she would not even dare to let out a fart.Martha was petrified, especially when she was faced with an overbearing woman like Giada.“I-I…”Martha stammered and clutched her face. She did not know what to say.Slap!Giada slapped her again. She said sternly, “Martha Yates, I’m warning you. Get rid of all of your little tricks. Do you think the Clarkes are weak? Did you forget what I warned you the last time?”Martha was such a commoner. She really forgot about the pain once the scar was healed.She was the most shameless kind of person on earth.“I-I didn’t…”Martha clutched her face and lowered her head. Her entire body was trembling. She did not dare to look Giada in the eye.Giada peered at her coldly and walked
“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
