Now, back to Philip.After he hung up the phone, he went back to where he was. In the end, the seniors around him started to mumble in disdain. They moved away from him as if he was the plague.“What’s going in? He’s an adult and he’s still embarrassing himself.”“Martha is so unlucky to have a son-in-law like him.”“Ew, let’s go. I smell a disgusting fox among us.”Philip backed away to one side after listening to the cruel accusations and jeers from everyone. He leaned against the wall and crossed his arms to watch what was going on.Aiden saw Philip’s ordeal and was feeling amazing. He flipped him off with glee. Under the heated gaze of the seniors, he straightened his suit and walked over to the manager and staff.“Hello, Sir. Can I help you?”The manager was a woman. Her face was pointy and she had a tiny waist. She was thin but still looked stunning. She was wearing a black business attire with a white patterned shirt that made her look skilled and experienced.“Are you
If he embarrassed himself in front of his future mother-in-law right now, it would mean that he would lose his chance with Wynn.When he thought of this, Aiden forced out a smile and said with a quiver in his voice, “Um, ladies and gentlemen, it’s done. Don’t worry. I called Mr. Collins and he’ll come here to handle this in a bit, so don’t worry. You can go back and wait for further news.”When everyone heard that, they cheered and clapped for Aiden.“Mr. Grant is such an extraordinary man. He managed to solve the problem right after standing up for us. If my daughter was not married, I’ll definitely ask her to marry Mr. Grant.”“Yeah! Mr. Grant is such an amazing young man. You can’t come across this kind of man easily now. Martha, you’ve got yourself a gem!”“Hehe, I remember someone talking big about how he can solve this just now. Now that Mr. Grant has solved this, where’s that person who was talking big?”“Don’t talk about that trash of a man anymore. He’s just playing to t
Lamar ran over hurriedly to see Mr. Clarke.However, the seniors blocked him and asked all at once.“Mr. Collins, can we get the rebate from the money we invested today?”“Can you return our money? I don’t want to invest anymore.”“Our houses too. Please give it back to us. We don’t want to put up collateral anymore. You’re a scammer!”In an instant, emotions were heightened. The seniors were all making threats at Lamar while surrounding him like they were layers and layers of clothes on his body.Lamar was panicking. He waved his hands and cleared his throat before saying, “Everybody, please calm down. I’m here to return the money and houses to you all. Please go and register over there. I’ll ask my staff to go through the procedure with you all. Please don’t panic, okay? I have to meet someone important right now.”After he said that, Lamar called over his staff who then brought the seniors away.When the seniors heard that their money and houses would be returned, they were
When he thought about that, Lamar laughed and said, “Oh, Mr. Grant. I’m sorry I called you the wrong name. Please forgive me.”When Aiden heard that, his nervousness vanished.When Lamar had called him Mr. Clarke earlier, he was extremely nervous.He knew better than anyone else that he had not done anything.Did his father do something?Possibly. After all, he was his father. There was no reason for him to not help him, right?When Aiden heard Lamar saying that he called the wrong name, he let out a sigh of relief. He smiled and said, “Mr. Collins, you’re so hilarious. I thought that trash over there called you.”Philip was just standing there on one side of the room. He frowned when Aiden suddenly mentioned him.On the other hand, Lamar continued to say in a flattering manner, “Mr. Grant, you must be joking. How would I know a poor fella like him?”The man before him, on the other hand, was a very important person. He must get on his good side.He just needed to return the
What was going on?Why were they fighting?The seniors were so shocked that they were speechless. Aiden himself was stunned for a very long time. He did not know what was going on.“F*ck! Lamar Collins! Are you f*cking insane? Why the f*ck are you hitting me?”Aiden was furious. His face had turned red. This was so embarrassing.In the first second, he had been trying to flatter him. Now, Lamar was slapping him across the face.When Martha saw that Aiden was slapped, she was enraged. She ran over and pushed Lamar. She yelled, “Are you insane? Why did you slap Aiden? If you don’t give us an explanation now, we’ll stand in front of your office and call the cops on you!”Lamar was livid. He pushed away Martha who was being rude and unreasonable. Then, he roared, “F*ck off! How dare this f*cker pretend to be Mr. Clarke? I went easy on him! I should skin him alive and pluck out all of his nerves!”When he said that, Lamar glanced at Philip who was standing at one side.Then, he ign
“What’s going on? Aiden’s the one who solved this, right? Why is Mr. Collins here for Philip?”“Are you only seeing it now? Who is Philip? Isn’t he just a piece of trash?”“Martha is unreliable. She’s treating us like we’re fools!”The seniors gathered together and started gossiping. Their faces were filled with shock and envy.Martha could see it now. Mr. Collins had come here for her son-in-law.She pulled Philip to one side and asked in a flattering way, “Philip, do you know Mr. Collins?”This was the first time Philip felt this kindness from her.Philip wanted to tell her the truth, but after pondering, he said, “Mom, you’re mistaken. How would I know a man like Mr. Collins? I just called a friend of his and coincidentally, he’s responsible for this. Maybe he’s the one exerting pressure on him?”When Martha heard that, she was not suspicious. She nodded and said disappointedly, “I knew it. You’re just a coward. How would you know people like Mr. Collins?”Philip frowned.
This was the most savage statement Isabelle Ford had ever heard after so many years of selling Harley-Davidsons.He just came up and asked her if they had 100 bikes.Isabelle was stunned. After a while, she said bitterly, “Sir, are you sure you want 100? And you want 100 of the latest models?”Philip nodded indifferently. “Right. Do you not have that many? If not, it’s fine as long as they are Harleys.”Isabelle was stunned once again.It was fine as long as they were Harleys?Just how much did this man like Harleys?“Sir, we only have 32 in stock. We just did the count this morning. We don’t have 100,” Isabelle said sadly. Was this man really a nouveau riche?When Philip heard that, he lifted his eyebrow and looked around. “Only 32?”According to Philip’s calculation, he would at least need 100. Even though they only had more than ten employees, it would be fine if he hired more people.This was the first time Isabelle met a client who wanted to buy 100 Harleys in one go.
Thank God the salesperson was quite smart.He called the manager immediately.The manager was a man in his forties. He had a manner that was out of the ordinary. He was smiling and looked amiable.He reached out his hand to Philip. “Hello, Sir. I am the manager of this BMW motorcycle specialty shop. My name is John Smith.”Philip grabbed his hand. “Philip Clarke.”John smiled and said, “Mr. Clarke, please come with me.”He led Philip and Agnes to a table and personally brewed two cups of tea. He put them in front of both of them. “Freshly made Tieguanyin.”After he sat down, John rubbed his hands together. “I heard from Jude that you need ready stock cars?”Philip nodded and said, “Yes, I need 100 motorcycles for my staff.”John was taken aback. “100? Ready stock?”Philip took a sip of his tea and said, “Yeah, I need 100. However, I don’t think you have that many here…”John was smart, if not, he would not be the manager. He gritted his teeth and said, “If you need them, I c
Everyone was excited to hear that Ronan had those legendary items. It was great. “Our family has to get one!” The patriarch of the Lamy family was the most excited. The members of this family had always been strong-headed and were determined to get it. The other families were unhappy to hear that. They were not that bad either, so they were annoyed by that high-handed remark. “All the major families are powerful in our own rights. I think there’s no need to conclude so quickly.” “I agree. I’m afraid you’ll hide and cry if you fail to get one. That'll be embarrassing.” “Even the major families are not confident about this. Who do you think you are to get it?” Everyone targeted the swell-headed Lamy family even though they were indeed big and powerful enough to steal the treasure from them. The Claude family was the most excited yet regretful. Instead of feeling happy that the families were bickering with each other, they were worried. Although the families were fighting
Besides, Philip mentioned that he would help Ronan make a name for himself. The storage rings that Philip provided were quite meager, with only 30 to 70 cubic feet of storage space each. However, that did not stop Ronan from admiring Philip. He knew that Philip had various treasures, but he was willing to share them with Ronan, which was too generous for words. To prevent Ronan from getting the short end of the stick, Philip also provided some common things for doing business. Due to this, Ronan wanted to serve Philip. In their world, the best way to express gratitude was to acknowledge the other party as their master. It was not only to seize the opportunity but also to find a good roof over their head. Thinking of this, Ronan did not dare to call Philip his brother anymore. Ronan decided to approach Philip at night and find a way to acknowledge him as his master so that he could serve Philip wholeheartedly. Philip had no idea about Ronan’s thoughts. He was still think
Everything Rabbit owned, including the storage space and various treasures, was given by Philip. So, Rabbit could come up with some amazing things for these people to please him. Rabbit felt very proud of this accomplishment. “Ahem, everyone, follow me! I know you’re eager to see Philip, but you have to follow the rules. Don't be as rude as the Claude family!” Rabbit said calmly. He was very unhappy with the Claude family. Hearing that, members of the Claude family were livid. They were shocked by Rabbit's words. He was deliberately putting them down! Those remarks were likely to affect their status among the major families. That off-handed tone might cause other major families to reject them. “I’m surprised that this family would be so arrogant and disrespect you!” “How could they treat that precious storage space so carelessly? I say, those people are too bold to disregard such a valuable treasure!” “This family is stupid and arrogant. Let's ignore them to avoid any ass
However, Cameron and his people were arrogant enough to lock Philip up. How dare they?! “Cameron, you went too far!” “I never knew that the Claude family were such people. I really misjudged you before. You’re really too much for treating such an amazing person that way.” Everyone pretended to be angry and kept speaking up for Philip, trying to please Rabbit and indirectly please Philip. Cameron was startled by Rabbit’s words, which easily landed him in trouble. “No, that's not exactly the case. I didn't lock Philip up but gave him a place to stay. How would I dare to lock up such a powerful person? You really think too highly of me.” However, Cameron’s explanation was useless. Everyone believed that Cameron locked Philip up on purpose, so they wanted to get him into trouble. Whether Cameron locked Philip up or treated Philip as a valuable guest, they wanted to ruin Cameron’s reputation. Once they got rid of Cameron, they could focus on pleasing Philip. “You must be
Cameron smiled awkwardly at everyone’s dissatisfaction. “That’s not the case. I'm still trying to figure out the situation. I thought I might make a mistake if I released the news in advance,” Cameron explained awkwardly. Although few people bought it, they put aside their prejudices. After all, they were not here to argue but to talk about it. If Cameron was driven into a corner and refused to tell them anything, they would be on the losing end, and no one wanted that outcome. “In that case, tell us what you know so that we can put our heads together. After all, there's strength in numbers. It’s better to do this together!” “I agree with the Lamy family's patriarch. Tell us your reservations so that we can figure it out!” Everyone made a din, clearly forcing Cameron to give in to their demands. Seeing that he could no longer hide it, Cameron finally decided to tell the truth. “What’s going on?” Before Cameron could tell them anything, Rabbit appeared. Rabbit hopped
At this time, the Claude family’s butler found the residence's doorstep surrounded by people. The butler was horrified and quickly found the patriarch. “Oh no, something bad has happened!” The butler ran into the room in disbelief. The excited Cameron scowled at this sudden intrusion. “What’s bad? Watch your words. Have you forgotten your manners? Don’t speak so loudly in this house!” Cameron had been lost in his excitement, but it was quickly replaced by anger. He wished he could fire the butler on the spot.The butler was scared and felt sorry for himself. “Patriarch! I wasn’t kidding. Something bad has happened!” “People from other families are at the door, including the heads of their families! They keep talking about some storage space and a rabbit, demanding an explanation from us. I don’t know what’s going on!” The butler felt aggrieved because he had no idea what happened. He only knew that a rabbit that could speak human language had turned up in the family. That ra
Philip had that precious tea on hand. Just one mouthful was enough to improve Cameron’s strength. He also had that incredible storage space. What was Philip’s background? How many mysterious treasures did he have? No one dared to think about it. Especially Cameron, who felt that he had found a treasure this time. At first, Cameron bore a grudge against Philip and felt that he had messed things up, but now, he saw Philip as his salvation.… Meanwhile, Sadie had no idea what had happened. Sadie’s husband was dealing with Philip’s issue with Cameron and did not have time to report the situation to his useless wife. She was still thinking about how to deal with Philip. “The rabbit’s storage space must be very valuable. If I spread the news about it, everyone will mess with that rabbit and save me the effort!” Thinking of this, Sadie thought she was very smart and was eager to put the plan into action. After thinking about it, Sadie contacted several families who were on go
“What are you guys doing here? Don’t you have anything better to do?” Rabbit asked bluntly. This arrogant rabbit was even more outspoken after staying with Aslan for so long. The Claude family felt offended. “My child, do you have a storage space? How did you get it? Can you tell me more?” Cameron ignored Rabbit but asked Ronan excitedly, eager to find out the situation. Ronan nodded calmly. “It’s just a storage space. Stop kicking up a fuss over it. My space is not very big, just enough to contain this house at most. It’s not a big deal,” he said pretentiously. Hearing that, Philip silently gave him a thumbs-up. He did not forget Ronan’s exaggerated expression when he first saw the size of the storage space. Surprisingly, Ronan got into the role so quickly. Philip thought he was a good actor. Ronan's casual remarks nearly caused everyone a mental breakdown. They were shocked as if they heard something incredible. “What? Is the space that big?” Cameron coughed violently.
“You can form a bond with the ring. Once that’s done, no one can take it away from you. It’ll belong to you forever.” Philip’s explanation reassured Ronan, and he finally accepted the gift from Philip with confidence. Although Ronan was strong, he was not arrogant to the point of being ignorant. If someone could take it from him, he would rather not have it. Although it was gratifying to own one, it would be painful to lose it after having it. With Philip’s affirmation, Ronan fidgeted with the ring happily and wanted to express his gratitude. Philip simply waved his hand without dwelling on it. “That’s enough. Go explore the storage space on your own. I believe it’ll help you greatly. “Since they’re so interested in Rabbit's storage space, you should show it off to them. I believe they’ll immediately hold you in high regard and maybe they’ll deal with those arrogant guys in the family.” Philip was excited at this mean trick and laughed when he thought of those people’s ugly
