“What’s going on?”Philip walked over in a hurry and held her hands, asking her.Wynn sobbed, “They said that the villa doesn’t belong to us anymore, so they’re here to kick us out.”Philip frowned deeply. This was clearly Giada’s doing.Indeed, George had been the one who initially bought this villa, and he used the family’s assets to do so.Giada was well within her rights to take it back.However, this was mere child’s play to both Giada and Philip. It was more like she was just causing him trouble on purpose.“Stop, this is our home! What right do you have to throw our stuff out? This is robbery, it’s trespassing! I’m calling the cops!”Martha was covered in sweat as she desperately tried to stop the bodyguards in black.However, they ignored her and merely shoved her aside, sending her falling onto her butt on the floor.“Help, robbers! Daylight robbery! Oh, where is the justice?!”Martha just sat on the floor and wailed, slapping her thighs and making a scene.Her hai
Philip’s expression was cold and his fists clenched as he walked toward the guard he had sent flying.That was the man who had shoved Wynn and caused her to cut her hand open. He even shattered their wedding photo.He deserved hell!The guards exchanged a look and stepped forward, trying to stop Philip. One of them said, “Please leave the villa, sir.”Bam!Philip lashed out his foot abruptly, kicking the man who spoke in the chest. The latter fell quite a few steps back!“As expected of dirty Wallis dogs. You’re stupid enough to bark at me!”Philip said coolly, his eyes devoid of warmth as he stared at the dozen or so men. There was no hint of fear anywhere in his demeanor.That was how he held himself!Strong enough to stand his ground against more than ten men on his own!Anyone who witnessed this would think that he was overestimating himself.However, those guards could only swallow their protests and keep warning him. “Please leave the villa immediately, or else we’ll h
Meanwhile, Philip and Wynn arrived at the hospital, where they treated their wounds.Wynn was very worried. Looking at Philip, she asked, “Did those men say that you lost access to the family funds?”In other words, her husband was now penniless and broke, right?Wynn was worried that Philip would do something irrational as a result.Philip held Wynn’s soft little hand and said with a gentle smile, “It’s alright, don’t worry. At the worst, we’ll just start over. We made it this far, haven’t we? I can solve any problem as long as I have you.”Wynn smiled, tears in her eyes. Her heart was full as she leaned into Philip’s chest, saying, “If it really comes down to that, honey, I’ll resign from the company, and we can move out of the villa. I think my mom has some money too, so we can buy another house and start a small breakfast shop. How does that sound?”Philip hugged Wynn and nodded. “Sure, sounds good.”‘Don’t worry, honey, we’ll be fine.‘I’ll sweep away every obstacle in you
That slap was so brutal it took everyone by surprise.Martha especially brought her hand to her rapidly-swelling face, looking at Philip in disbelief.Since when did this useless trash have the guts to hit her like this?Wait, he had done so a few times before.When she remembered the past few times, Martha only grew angrier.How dare that trash hit her so many times! She was his mother-in-law, his elder in the family!“How could you hit me?! Don’t you guys see, he’s gone way over the line! He hit me!”Martha screamed, throwing a tantrum and even trying to scratch him.However, Philip simply kicked her hard in the stomach, sending her falling on her backside and crying for her mother.“Martha Yates! I’ve warned you many times now, but you still keep pushing my limits! Do you really think I don’t dare to kill you?”Philip said coldly, clenching his fists. If Wynn was not holding him back, he would teach that clueless woman a lesson she would never forget today!Martha fell ont
Blake laughed and said, “I can’t tell you too much about this either. All you have to know is that the Capital City Clarke Group is now no more than a toothless tiger.”His words assured the rest of the board.At the same time, Houston received a call that sent him bawling with laughter.“Did something good happen, Houston?” asked Blake.“Dad, my plant in the company just told me that the stupid Johnston b*tch went out to meet a new investor! What a joke! Who would dare to invest in Beacon now?”Houston laughed, full of contempt.Blake nodded. “She’s probably just putting on a show. There’s no need to worry. Beacon’s doom is assured!”Everyone raised their glasses in premature celebration.As long as there was money to be earned, they did not care whose company they worked under.Meanwhile, Wynn was going to meet a new investor today, someone Philip introduced.She was skeptical at first too, but since her husband recommended him, she was willing to meet him at least once.S
Buffer hesitated. After a pause, he said, “Miss Johnston, these funds are mine. They have nothing to do with Mr. Clarke.”Wynn’s heart settled back into her chest.Phew, and here she thought her husband had…“Anyway, thank you for believing in me, Mr. Buffer. I will not let you down.”Wynn quickly signed the contract and then left the building with it, perfectly ecstatic.When she arrived downstairs, she saw Philip waiting by the curb. It seemed he had been there for some time now.“How did it go?” Philip saw how dejected Wynn looked and thought for a moment that Buffer had not agreed to invest in Beacon.Wynn took a second to recover, but then she jogged up to him like a lively little college girl, the type that won the hearts of every boy on campus. She jumped into Philip’s arms and gave him a huge hug.“We did it, we did it! A three-billion-dollar investment, and we signed off on it!”Wynn was extremely excited, like a teenage girl at her birthday party.“That’s good to
Over on Philip’s side, he received a call from Tim as soon as he walked out of Beacon’s main doors.“What’s the matter, Uncle Tim?”“I’m sorry, Phil, I couldn’t stop them from issuing that restraining order. But don’t worry, I already exterminated some of Giada’s underground bases with my men! That damned b*tch, how dare she try something like that!”Tim Clarke sounded furious on the other end.Philip was slightly taken aback to hear that too. Well, that was just like his uncle, though. The man had such a temper that he would simply set out to exterminate some of Giada’s hidden forces.“Don’t worry about it, Uncle Tim. A mere restraining order won’t do much to me,” Philip said with a laugh.Tim sounded worried as he said, “Giada isn’t the only one controlling the strings behind this. Some of the geezers from the branch families are involved too. Those senile idiots are actually greedy enough to come after your assets. Don’t worry, I’m already back at the island. This time, I’ll b
“What do you mean by that, Jean?”Wynn asked, puzzled.Juan scoffed. “Philip Clarke is no good-for-nothing at all, you’ve all misjudged him! He’s actually very wealthy, because he’s the young heir to the Capital City Clarke Group!”As Juan said that, Wynn’s expression did not change at all.So Juan knew about it too.Juan was quite exhilarated, the corners of his mouth curved into a smile. He looked at Wynn in excitement, waiting to see the surprise on her face.However, he was destined to be disappointed.“I’ve known that for a while now, Juan. Philip told me.”Wynn said calmly.Juan was stunned. He had been utterly shocked when he first found out.So what was going on here?Wynn barely reacted at all. She had known for a while now?Well, f*ck!Juan had waited for so long and prepared so much, all so that he could reveal Philip’s identity to Wynn and then show her how Philip was no match for him, even as the young master of the Capital City Clarke Group!Now, things had
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
After reading the letter, Alain trembled in anger, shocked that two of his strongest members would choose to leave the guild at such a critical time. Their departure was no joke. The guild could lose the guild competition at any minute! Dennis and Louis were very strong and could hold down the fort in the competition. With their departure, Alain would have fewer people to count on, and things might end up a mess. He was furious about their abrupt departure. “I need to capture Dennis. How dare he betray us?!” Alain was very upset. As a traitor, Dennis had to be dealt with. The news quickly spread, and many members found out that Dennis had chosen to leave the guild. The other elders also wondered what they should do. They knew that Dennis was a smart man and was good at judging the situation. Choosing to leave was a sign of a change to come. Everyone had their own thoughts and a rough guess about what was going on. Alain's actions not only caused an uproar but also made
A young man about the same age as him was so talented. Could anyone not be jealous? However, Louis was truly not jealous. He just wanted to learn from Philip. If Philip was really that strong, he would obey. Although Louis had a high status in the guild, he was not highly valued. That useless loser was given priority when it came to most of the resources, which made Louis upset. By right, resources should be allocated to talented people, but things were different because Hogster had a guild leader for a father. Thinking of this, Louis smiled at Philip expectantly. If Philip was worth following, he would leave the Hexa Guild without hesitation. “I want to apologize for offending you earlier. I also want to follow you, but I don’t know if I’m good enough. If you won’t consider me, I hope you can give my son a chance. He’s pretty talented.” Dennis was very polite as he apologized to Philip. Philip was surprised and thought that Dennis was quite nice. Philip invited them insi
Dennis and Louis quickly arrived at the door and knocked nervously. Rabbit opened the door this time. He did not expect to see Dennis again. He thought Dennis was here to cause trouble, so he scowled. “Why are you here again, old man? Do you want to cause more trouble for us? You’d better think twice or I’m going to get angry!” Rabbit said fiercely. Rabbit easily crushed them earlier, so they would not forget about their miserable defeat so quickly. Louis was embarrassed to hear that this rabbit had defeated his father. He had always thought that Dennis was very powerful and would not lose to a younger person no matter what. Unexpectedly, Dennis was not only defeated but lost miserably too. Louis keenly perceived that this talking rabbit was Philip’s pet and became excited. If Philip's pet was so powerful, Philip should be better. Thinking of this, he was excited and wanted to see Philip immediately. Rabbit stared at Dennis and Louis, wondering what they were up to. Denni
Celeste was surprised to see that Esther had restored her appearance. She had just seen Esther wearing a veil to cover her ugly face when they first met earlier. “Amazing! You look beautiful all of a sudden,” Celeste praised Esther from the bottom of her heart. Celeste did not know how it happened, but there had to be a reason for it. Esther smiled at Celeste. “Now that I’m beautiful, I can fully focus on taking care of Philip. Don’t worry, I won’t be worse than you.” Hearing that, Celeste was puzzled by Esther’s aggression. While everyone was lost in their own thoughts, an uninvited guest turned up at the door. It was none other than Dennis of the Hexa Guild. Dennis was not alone as he had brought his son along with him. His son was quite talented and always listened to his father's opinions. After all, he knew that he would not be where he was without his father’s guidance, and most of his father’s decisions were correct. “Father, are you sure we should leave the guild
Esther never thought that her curse could be lifted so quickly. More importantly, Esther found that all the negative energy in her body had disappeared. She took off her veil and looked at them with her true appearance. Esther was beautiful by nature, but the nasty technique had impacted her self-esteem. Now that she had regained her appearance, Esther’s confidence returned as well. “Wonderful! This technique is the perfect improved version! With this technique, our members can practice like any normal person without worrying about their appearance. Other guilds can’t kick a fuss over it or try to mess with us again!” Jamie was ecstatic and abruptly remembered a very important question. “By the way, what’s the deal with this technique? Did someone give it to you?” Jamie had to get to the bottom of it. It was very important. He would be uneasy if he did not figure out the situation. “Philip gave it to me. I don't know how he got our technique, but he’s quite good at studying
