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
As they walked, the two of them discussed clothes, furniture, passing judgment items they saw. To everyone else watching, they looked like a couple planning their married life together!For some reason, the beautiful Nina even invited Philip up to her place after he walked her to her neighborhood.“Um, I don’t think I should…”Philip scratched his head and gave her an awkward smile.So she did have an ulterior motive after all, huh?“It’s fine, just come up for a seat,” Nina continued to persuade him.Philip thought it over and agreed to follow her upstairs.Nina’s apartment was very clean, with one living room and two bedrooms. There was a simple three-seater couch in the living room, while her bedroom was much more girly, with pink decor and many stuffed animals on the bed.Philip sat on the living room couch and took a deep breath. Whoa, it smelled good!The whole apartment smelled faintly of perfume. It really raised his spirits.Nina had just changed into something less
Judging by how he was slurring his words, the man probably had one too many. Also, it was someone that Nina knew! Philip frowned and looked at Nina. When he realized that she had stumbled a few steps back in fear, Philip got up. He made a hush gesture, patted her delicate shoulder, and asked her again, "Do you know him?"Nina bit her lips. A trace of hesitation flashed in her eyes, then she shook her head desperately and said, "I don't know him!"When he heard that, Philip grinned. Nina was really relieved that Philip was there with her. She felt safer whenever he was around, especially after the previous bus experience. After that, Philip walked behind the door and glanced through the peephole. He saw that it was a drunk man who was slamming the door violently.He thought about it, grinned, and hid behind the door. He then motioned Nina to open the door.Nina clenched her fist, took a deep breath, and opened the door.As expected, as soon as the door opened, the man who s
Although Harrison was Nina's ex-boyfriend, they had never been intimate. He would usually go to a prostitute when he had the need.Previously, he had intended to force himself on her when he was drunk, but the moment was ruined by the fat lady next door!It was also because of this incident that Nina broke up with him.There was no way around it. She was a very conservative person. When they were together, she had mentioned that she would not sleep with him until they got married."Harrison, I’m warning you! If you don't leave now, I’ll call the police!"Nina grabbed her phone from her bag on the sofa as she said angrily."What’s the point of calling the police? With trash as such, we should just drown him in the toilet!"Philip had no patience to hear Harisson talk anymore. His voice came from behind the door.The tattooed man was startled. He thought that Nina was alone in the house, but he did not expect that there were other people! Moreover, it was a man!When he saw Phil
However, in just an instant, he was kicked and knocked down onto the sofa. His stomach was overwhelmed, and his dinner was vomited out!Philip just gave him one kick. He had not expected this one kick to lead to this. He turned and looked at Nina, then apologized. "I'm sorry, I dirtied your sofa."The tattooed man rolled around hugging onto his stomach, and the veins on his face were popping!He fell from the sofa to the ground. As he vomited everything that was left in his stomach, he felt like he was being torn apart!"I hate drunks. Moreover, a drunk who’s spewing bullshit! She made herself clear. How dare you still pester her after breaking up. I’ll make sure you learn your lesson tonight."Philip was stern and fierce. He walked to the tattooed man who had collapsed on the ground, squatted down, grabbed his hair, and slapped him so hard that the whole house could hear!He slapped Harison left and right without a pause!In just half a minute, Philip had slapped Harisson 30 or
“It’s fine. I know the limit. This guy can’t die yet.”Philip chuckled and said.When the tattooed guy heard what Philip said, he trembled in fear. When he was about to say something, he inhaled the cold air that smelled of blood.It was as if his legs did not belong to him anymore. He had never experienced this kind of excruciating pain before.Due to the pain in his legs, the tattooed man lied on the floor while moaning for a very long time. He was calling for help in a small voice.He opened his mouth. He wanted to scream for help.Pfft!When he opened his mouth, a very spicy powder invaded his nostrils and mouth.“You want to call for help? Why didn’t you do it before? You can’t blame others for your stupidity.”Philip’s gaze was ferocious. He was holding a bag of chili powder.The tattooed man felt as if he was going to be choked to death. The spicy chili powder was being stuffed into his nostrils and mouth. At that moment, he felt as if his soul had left his body. He wa
