“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
“Philip, why are you here?”There was a smirk on Houston’s face. He stood at the door and looked at Philip with a mocking look on his face. “And you too Mindy, what are you doing? You’re always loitering and not doing work! Do you want to be fired?”“No, Sir, I’m…”Mindy was scared. She wanted to explain, but she was interrupted by Houston.“What do you mean no? I think you don’t want this job anymore.”Houston’s eyes turned dark. “You’re always running around during office hours and not doing any work. You’re fired!”Philip’s face fell as he yelled, “Mr. Michaels, you don’t have to target other people because of me, right? If you want to come for me, you can come for me. This has nothing to do with Mindy.”“Philip…”Mindy was touched. She wiped away the tears in her eyes.The corner of his lips upturned as he said, “Mr. Michaels, I forgot to tell you. From now on, I’m also an employee at Beacon.”Beep!Everyone in the office was stunned.Philip was their colleague now?Di
Philip touched her nose and said, “Your husband is still capable, okay? From now on, I’m your knight.”Wynn rolled her eyes at him shyly.Over here, Houston was gritting his teeth in anger. He looked at the couple who were walking over and yelled, “Madam Johnston, you have to give me an explanation for what happened today. If not, I’ll report you to the board of directors!”Wynn walked over with a cold expression on her face. She said, “Everyone, this is our new colleague, Philip Clarke. From now on, he’s my assistant.”Clap, clap, clap!The thunderous claps drowned out Houston’s protest instantly.Everyone had their opinions about what happened.Philip really led his life while depending on women. He became the chairwoman’s assistant just like that.How shameless it was to depend on a woman to climb the corporate ladder.However, Philip did not care. He would only stay for a few days.“Alright, just you wait!”Houston knew he would not achieve his goal today, so he left wit
When Melody was near, Philip finally came back to his senses. He asked in confusion, “Can I help you?”Melody was too good-looking. Her face was dainty, and even though she was bare-faced, her skin was flawless and smooth. She was a natural beauty.“Did you forget? I told you I’ll come to pick you up.”Melody was slightly annoyed, but she did not display it.Was this guy trying to play dumb?Philip had no choice. He turned his head and said, “I don’t have time. I need to go to visit my daughter in the hospital.”Melody was taken aback. What was up with this guy? She came all the way to pick him up, but he was not appreciative of her kind gesture.Did he not know how many guys were dreaming and yearning of going on a date with her?How could he not know what was good for him?This was her first time asking a man out!It did not matter if he was married!Melody was a girl who was not afraid to love or hate. She wanted to ask Philip out to tell him how she felt.Even if she be
Melody was not happy with Simon’s attitude. She got up and said angrily, “Enough, Simon! Stop trying to terrorize everyone just because you’re a young master. Philip’s my boyfriend and I won’t allow anyone to hurt him!”It would be fine if Melody just kept quiet. Now that she said that, Simon was even angrier. He pointed at Philip’s face and asked furiously, “Mel, how dare you blame me for the sake of this manwh*re!”Simon was not happy. How dare Melody treat him like this?Right, it was all because of this man named Philip. It was him! It was all because of him!If he had not shown up, Melody would not be treating him like this!“It was all because of you!”Simon was releasing all of his anger on Philip. He took the wine bottle to smash it down on Philip’s head.“Ah!”Melody was terror-stricken. She covered her mouth and screamed.If the hit landed, Philip’s head would definitely split open!Simon was smirking. He believed that this guy would definitely beg for his mercy onc
However, the tough, tattooed man immediately blocked their way. He squeezed his chin and said in wonder, "Hey pretty lady, there’s no need to be anxious. I heard from Young Master Luther that this guy’s looking for trouble, so the few of us came to take a look at the situation."How about this, pretty lady, you accompany me and my boys for a little fun. There’s a hotel just at the side. As long as you keep us company, I won’t make things difficult for your little boyfriend. How about it?""Brother Four, don't trouble Mel. It's this guy, it's him who..."Simon who was on the side also saw that something was not right."F*ck you! Since when is it your turn to speak when I’m talking? Move aside!"Four slapped Simon's face and kicked him aside, yelling, "So what? You gonna f*cking accompany us guys to the hotel?""I will, I will accompany you!"Simon was true toward Melody, so he pulled his face and squeezed out a smile at the moment."Oh, damn it! Aren’t you being disgusting!"Fo
Jamie was surprised by Philip’s easygoing reaction and immediately felt the gap between him and Philip. If Jamie were in Philip’s shoes, he would be worried, but Philip was confident instead. Jamie had a lot to learn from Philip. Jamie had no idea that Philip did not take Dennis seriously at all. Philip had too many capable people under his command. He was not concerned about Dennis at all. In comparison, Dennis could be considered the most useless person under him.… On the other hand, Rabbit arrived at the market. Rabbit was quite famous among the major families by now. As a non-human with a violent temper, he was in the center of attraction wherever he went. Someone tried to kidnap Rabbit once, but not only did he fail, but the person was also beaten badly. To this day, the kidnapper was still bedridden in the hospital. Rabbit’s notorious reputation had spread far and wide, and not just anyone could deal with him. At this time, many storytellers were at the tavern tal
People in seclusion would usually not receive any news from the outside world, so contacting them would be up to luck. Therefore, Lincoln's appearance was good news for the Hexa Guild. Now that the guild was under scrutiny, Lincoln's appearance would save them a lot of trouble. Lincoln stood on the spot, looking at the yard curiously. Philip had modified the yard, so it was full of energy. Any practitioner would feel the difference at once. Jamie and the others had discovered this fact but never asked out of courtesy. Everyone had their own secret. Maybe this was Philip’s secret. Lincoln closed his eyes and felt the abundant energy. He was reluctant to leave this place that contained tens of thousands of times more energy than the place he had chosen for his seclusion. Lincoln felt conflicted. He could practice much faster in this place if the energy level remained the same. Thinking of this, he could hardly contain his excitement to practice on the spot. Seeing Jamie nex
Lincoln had never met a monster beast with intelligence! After taking a closer look at Rabbit, Lincoln had other ideas. Philip was most likely a powerful person with extraordinary strength to have such a powerful monster beast as his pet. Dennis was not a fool. Philip had to be powerful and not a coward for Dennis to willingly follow him. Thinking of this, Lincoln showed Rabbit enough respect. “Mr. Rabbit, I’m looking for Dennis from the Hexa Guild.” The guild members behind him were full of disbelief at his courtesy. They had served him for a while and knew his character very well. Lincoln would never be so polite to ordinary juniors, so this rabbit had to be unusual. Thinking of this, their attitude toward Rabbit changed from disdain to admiration. Rabbit was shocked by their eccentric behavior and looked at them skeptically. Seeing their smiling faces, Rabbit decided not to make things difficult for them. Besides, they were polite. “Oh, you’re looking for Dennis. Come
This guild member could not forget how Hogster had always stolen his resources by force. Hogster’s ugly face made him sick. Although Lincoln was back, he had lost all confidence in the guild. He just wanted to return to Dennis' side as soon as possible. Although he was a member under the guild leader, Dennis was the one who had been helping him all along. In fact, if not for Dennis’ support over the years, even Alain would not have achieved what he had today. Hence, this guild member had always been grateful to Dennis. When Dennis left, he wanted to leave with him, but due to special circumstances, he stayed until now. Unexpectedly, it came in handy. Alain was excited to hear that. In Alain's opinion, such a lowly member would not dare to lie to him, so he had to be telling the truth. He knew that this was his chance to settle everything once and for all. Alain had been worried that Lincoln would blame him, but Lincoln was deceived instead, which was great. He had nothing t
Lincoln had a very good reputation, so the guild members dropped their guard and started to complain about everything. “Grandmaster, we've been having a hard time. Hogster always deducts our practice resources and gives them to the women he likes. It’s infuriating. We don’t even have that many resources to begin with,” a member said miserably. He had good talent, but Hogster did not give him any good resources, so his level remained stagnant. All his resources had been given to the women who had caught Hogster’s fancy. Lincoln scowled upon hearing this. How could Hogster take other people’s resources? He would not allow this to happen. “They also tried every means to arrange a political marriage with the Celestial Palace, but the agreement fell through, and they badmouthed the other party for it!” “They defamed the young lady of the guild, and now, they're furious at us. Their wrath is not a joke. Moreover, someone solved the side effects of their practice technique, but we'v
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
