“What’s wrong with my card?”Martha was anxious. She tried to crane her neck over to the other end of the glass to see what was on the computer screen.“Madam, I’m sorry. We can’t check the balance of your card for the time being. Plus, our branch doesn’t have the permission to check your card. You need to go to our headquarters.”The woman behind the counter said apologetically.This was the first time she encountered this.There were two big red words on her computer screen that spelled out ‘No permission’.What was going on?“Why is this happening? Can you try checking it again? I remember seeing a lot of money on this card previously.”Martha refused to give up.The woman behind the counter did not know what to do as well. She got up and fetched the manager.When the manager got here and saw the words ‘no permission’ on the screen, he was puzzled as well.He had been working here for 20 years but never encountered this before.He even asked Martha to reenter the pin. Ho
After a long while, she finally saw an elegant figure walking down the spiral stairs. She was wearing a long black dress and there was a Persian in her arms.With every step, the woman’s high heels clicked against the tiles. Martha felt as if her heart had been struck.Giada!It was Giada!Martha was petrified.What did she want?Giada looked at Martha who was trembling all over and sat down on the sofa. She caressed her Persian and said coldly, “We meet again, Martha.”“M-Madam Wallis, what are you doing? I didn’t do anything wrong, did I?”Martha was terror-stricken. She was scared that Giada would hit her again.There was a cold smile on Giada’s lips, and her eyes were filled with disdain. She said, “I didn’t call you here for any particular reasons. I just want you to do something for me. Once you do it, you’ll get five million bucks.”After she said that, Giada’s subordinate took out five silver boxes and placed them in front of Martha.When the boxes were opened, there
At this moment, Philip’s phone rang!It was from George!He put down the glass and walked out of the hall. “Old Man George, how’s it going…”His voice got softer and softer as he walked further away.Martha let out a sigh of relief when she saw Philip putting down the glass. She was extremely fidgety.Thankfully, he did not drink it.However, Martha started to panic again. She had already used one packet, which meant she only had two more chances left.Should she let Philip drink this?Martha was feeling nervous. It was not poison, so he would not die.After Philip walked out of the hall, he went to a corner. George’s respectful voice sounded from the other end of the phone. He said, “Young Master, we couldn’t find Mr. Fennel Leigh in Chinatown. I went to his place, but he’s not there anymore.”“Not there anymore?”Philip frowned. After staying silent for a while, he said, “Alright, understood. Just find a place to stay over there and keep in touch with him.”After he hung
‘What do you mean treating you to a meal even when I’m like this? You’re the ones who are forcing me!‘No!‘Treating you to a meal? Don’t go off-topic!’Harrison could not express his misery. He had no choice but to suffer in silence. The heartless grim reaper was talking loudly in front of him. How would he dare to revolt?Especially when Philip was addressing him so intimately. Harrison could not help but tremble. Philip was just trying to aggravate him by praising him excessively. This was not fun at all! He wanted so badly to just submit to Philip right now.He could not take this anymore, especially when that kid was praising him continuously and being so generous. He was livid as he slammed his hand down on the table and yelled, “Enough! F*cking…”In the end, before Harrison could finish swearing, he saw Philip sipping his alcohol coldly from the corner of his eye. He could not help but tremble after seeing that cold action and piercing gaze.Disdain!Yes, it was disdain!
He glanced at the signboard of Tex Hall and looked for the private room his nephew told him about. When he pushed open the door, he was shocked. What was happening? Harrison and Philip were enjoying themselves inside while the beautiful woman was sitting quietly next to them.From the looks of it, this looked like a gathering of old friends.Did Harrison not tell him to come hold the fort? What was going on, then?The man walked inside and sat down after pulling a chair. He lit a cigarette and kicked the table. He yelled, “Boy, where is he? How can you enjoy yourself like this? Do you want to do this or not?”Norm West looked down on his nephew. However, he was still his nephew after all. Blood was thicker than water. He had cleaned up after Harrison’s mess plenty of times before. It was always minor things like fights and nothing major. It would be fine after he talked to the other party.However, this time, his nephew told him that both of his legs were broken. He even had to be
“It’s done?”Suddenly, the woman opened her mouth. Her voice sounded super sweet. She looked over and there was a foxy allure in her eyes.“It’s time for me to show myself now,” Juan said coldly. He was fiddling with something in his hand.He had been waiting for this day for a very long time.“Juan, I have to warn you. Philip is not as simple as you think.”That woman got up slowly and moved her red lips. She let out a soft breath and said, “I’ve been watching him for a long time and I still can’t find a chance to take action against him. You’re too impulsive. If you mess this up, the master won’t be happy.”“Margot, when did you become so cautious? He’s just a young master from the Clarke Group in Capital City. Maybe I was scared of him before, but now, he’s not even worth my time. He’s just a piece of trash!” Juan said coldly. He savored the whiskey in his hand.Margot Pearson stretched lazily and chuckled lightly. “You’re taking action without thinking this time. I won’t tel
At that moment, Philip figured that having to come here was not too bad. He was so lucky to be able to see such a hot policewoman.Especially the icy aura coming off her. It would make anyone feel a deep veneration for her.She furrowed her brows. Her delicate features were giving out the lofty quality of a strong woman. She treated all evil-doers as if they were her mortal enemies.Philip shrugged and said, “Madam, isn’t it written in your notes?”Yvette was wondering if she misheard him. What attitude was that?Jackson was shocked as well. Was this guy insane? How could he talk to Yvie like that? Was he trying to get beaten up?“What attitude is this? Do you know where you are? You should watch yourself while you’re in here,” Yvette said angrily.It was not like she had never encountered people like Philip before who refused to be obedient after they came in here. They thought they were bigshots, but in the end, they were all just Peppa Pigs.“Don’t you know where you are? Fi
Norm did not dare to lecture Yvette. He looked at her in dissatisfaction. If Yvette did not come from a huge family background, Norm would not tolerate her so much. He said, “Simms, Jackson is new and inexperienced, but you’re our number one! How can you let someone like him boss you around?”When he said that, he glared at Philip. This guy was still so arrogant even when he was already at the station. He would teach him a lesson later!“Norm, what do you mean?”Yvette naturally knew what Norm was plotting.“You guys should know that the city is trying to win the title of Civilized City. The upper management ordered us to take good care of each administrative region. We can’t allow any evil forces to run amok. If not, everyone will get punished when the upper management asks why we didn't get the title.“There are so many things happening in our administrative regions now. Mr. Warner is busy taking on the tasks given to him by upper management. He doesn’t have time to overlook mat
