Suddenly, a figure stepped in front of Philip!Rick Davenport had appeared!With a flash of movement, he took one step back, launched a flying kick with his right leg, and directly hit Leopard’s elbow!Clank!The bayonet in Leopard’s hand flew out in an instant and fell heavily on the ground with a loud clang!Leopard was shocked. He never expected this ordinary-looking boy to have such a capable bodyguard with him!The opponent’s strength was powerful!Rick just stared at Leopard coldly, eyes filled with indolence as if he did not take the other person seriously.With a twitch of his eyes, Leopard reacted quickly. He clenched his fists, gathered strength in his legs, and darted out. The pair of iron fists carried the power akin to a tiger’s might as they aimed for Rick’s head!Rick raised his leg and kicked sideways with great force!Bam!Instantly, a figure flew like a kite that had its strings cut and crashed heavily into a night market stall at the side of the street!R
“Ten, nine, eight, three…” Philip counted leisurely.“No, wait, why did it jump to three all of a sudden?” Kenneth was stunned and panicked.“Oh, because I want to.”Philip replied calmly, tapped the iron rod in his hand, and continued to count, “Two…”“Okay! Three million it is! I agree!”Although it was expensive, Kenneth was a sensible person. When there was life, there was hope. He could only reluctantly agree.“Heh, Young Master Hane is really a smart man! Next, let’s talk about your third leg. One price, ten million!”Philip patted Kenneth’s shoulder.Kenneth immediately cried out, “Ten… Ten million! It was only three million just now, how did it become ten million now?!”Philip waved his hand and said, “Is ten million expensive? I think it’s quite reasonable.”“No, I don’t agree! You’re jacking up the price!”Kenneth shook his head promptly. The asking price was too much. Although he started a company with his father’s support and made a lot of money over the years, i
Philip’s uncle?Wynn was taken aback for a moment before she smiled politely and courteously. “Uncle… Uncle Tim, please have a seat, I…”Wynn did not know what to say, so she was a little incoherent. She was at a loss about what to do.Tim took everything in his eyes and smiled kindly. “Has Philip never mentioned me before?”“Yeah.”Wynn smiled awkwardly and brushed her hair to the back of her ears.Philip actually had an uncle. She had never heard him mention that before.Also, looking at this uncle’s poise, he was not a simple person. He even had bodyguards following him around.Of course, Philip was the young master of Clarke Group from Capital City. His family background was not so simple.However, what was the purpose of this uncle’s sudden visit?At Wynn’s expression, Tim guessed what Wynn must be thinking, so he said, “Don’t worry. I’m just here to visit you. Philip has worked hard to keep everything from us. The little girl has suffered much at such a young age.”Whi
Wynn stood up and stared at Philip with eyes wide open. Tears were forming at the corners.He finally confessed.“How long were you planning on keeping it from me?” Wynn asked angrily.Philip hugged her waist and said, “Not for long. I already planned to tell you in the next few days. It’s because too many things have been happening at home recently. I couldn’t tell you everything. I thought that once I’ve settled everything, I’d bring you and Mila home.”Back to Arcadia Island. Philip did not tell her the entire truth.Wynn assumed it was the Clarke family in Capital City.“Really? Do you need help?” Wynn asked, worried about Philip.Her husband was getting more mysterious now, always doing things that she was not aware of.Philip touched her hair fondly and smiled tenderly as he said, “It’s fine, I can handle it. But don’t tell your parents about my identity. I’m afraid they will…”Wynn naturally understood what he meant and said in mock anger, “You still dare to bring thi
“Slap her mouth!”Tim ordered coldly. The chill reflected in his eyes was as fathomless as 3,000 feet of ice!No one could insult the Clarke family, and no one could insult the future heir of the Clarke family!Hark!Two burly bodyguards behind Tim walked out. Without another word, one man dragged Martha, who was struggling and hissing, from behind Charles and held her in a death grip.“You, what are you doing? This is my home. If you dare to touch me, I’ll call the police!”Martha got a fright. She was struggling and kicking out wildly.However.The other person waved his hand!Smack!A crisp slap resounded throughout the hall of the villa.Now, Martha glared at Tim and shouted, “You dare to let someone beat me? Do you know where this is? This is Longford Park, the territory of the Longford family! This villa is mine! I’ll call the police to arrest you!” Martha yelled like a shrew, her cheeks red and swollen. “Continue,” Tim leaned back on the sofa and said coldly. Sm
“Martha Yates! You’re simply incorrigible! I’ve had enough of you! Don’t think I don’t know what wicked things you’ve done! Things have progressed to this stage, can’t you face the reality?”Charles roared and the whole living room resounded with his angry voice.Martha was stunned.She had never seen her husband in such a rage before.“You… You dare to hit me? You hit me!”Martha went mad and attempted to scratch Charles.Charles was getting a headache, so he shoved Martha away, entered the study alone, and locked the door from the inside.Martha sobbed and howled as she sat on the ground, beating her chest and wailing.“Damn you, Charles Johnston, you’ve finally admitted it. You despise me for being old and dislike me for being unreasonable, right?”Martha wept and bawled. “Divorce! I want to divorce you! I can’t stay in this family any longer! You and Wynn are turncoats, siding with Philip all the time. What’s so good about that wretch? He just has a bit of money now. Who k
“I don’t know, it just feels weird that such an important person has personally come to the company to discuss terms with you.”Philip muttered to himself. He knew that with Wynn’s personality, should Blake try to threaten her in any way, things would not go well for either of them.“What’s wrong with that? Beacon has worked with the Michaels for several years now, and their chairperson is personally dropping by to visit. Perhaps it’s because there’s some large-scale project involved. If we make it work, that’ll mean a raise for all of us.”The male colleague said with a chuckle.Ignorance was bliss, huh.While Philip was still fretting about how to handle Blake Michaels, the head of the marketing department Minerva Cain was already approaching Blake.All smiles, she said, “Mr. Michaels! You’re here earlier than expected. We’re still in the middle of preparing for your arrival.”Minerva was a professional, after all, and she chose her words very wisely. The fiery-red short skirt
“According to our current contract, Michaels Corp will only take 30% of the profit. At the board meeting, we decided that if we don’t pull out, we’ll have to pour a lot more resources into this project. That would mean an investment far beyond anything else we’ve risked so far, so we’ll need more potential profit to balance that risk.”Blake was very adept at reading the room, and his next words immediately shut down the chaos that had erupted in the conference room. “50%! We want 50% of the ROI, and we require Beacon to give us the patent and data for the new drug.”“Impossible! That’s not how business works! 50% is higher than we can afford. As for the data, we already agreed that it will only ever belong to Beacon!”Wynn’s expression turned cold and her tone sharp. “You’re violating the contract without reason!”Wynn was now extremely unfriendly to Blake. He was clearly trying to get everything for nothing!Blake’s eyes twinkled. He never expected Wynn to agree off the bat eith
