“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
