“You got the wrong person?”Philip chuckled coldly and said, “I don’t think it’s so simple. I think you got some goodies from someone. Did someone ask you to do this?”Norm shook his head and refused to admit. He said, “No! There’s no such thing! You’re falsely accusing me!”“I’m spewing nonsense? I guess you really won’t give up until all hope’s gone.”Philip replied in an icy tone.After Deaton heard that, he widened his eyes as his imposing manner skyrocketed. He said, “Norm, you’d better tell us the truth!”When Norm saw Philip’s cold eyes, his final defense crumbled. The threat of death was making him very uncomfortable. It was as if his entire body was being stabbed by needles.He lowered his head and did not fight back.“What a loser!”Deaton was beyond livid. He pointed at Mark and yelled, “Mark, this is your brilliant employee! You have to severely punish him! I’ll wait for your report.”Mark lowered his head and did not say anything as well. His forehead was covered
That punch came out of nowhere.Juan was defenseless. His nose was flooded with blood instantly.Wynn witnessed this at one side and was shocked. She got up and pulled Philip away. She said hurriedly, “Philip, what are you going?”“Who gave you permission to meet him?”Philip turned around and yelled at Wynn.This was the first time in a very long time that Philip screamed at Wynn.Wynn was shocked. She knew her husband had a lot of misunderstandings with Juan.However, it was not right to hit him.“I-I’m just worried about you, so I asked Juan to help me come up with a plan to get you out of there.”Wynn mumbled while lowering her head. She felt extremely aggrieved. She was scared that Philip would yell at her again.Even though Wynn knew how powerful her husband was, were his assets not frozen by his family? This was a critical moment!Plus, the cops were involved in this. It did not seem like a matter that could be settled with just money.Philip grabbed Wynn and turned
How could she allow it?“I don’t care who asked you to come here. Get out of my house right now. I don’t like you.”Martha pointed at the door unreasonably and screeched.Anne knew about Martha’s unreasonableness. She did not want to argue with her, so she grabbed her things and went back to her room. Philip had prepared a room for her.“Hey, what are you doing? You’re going to stay here as well?”When Martha saw Anne going back to her room, she was livid. She grabbed Anne rudely and started screaming, “You’re just a vixen! How can you live with us? Did that loser bring you back so that the two of you can carry on your clandestine love affair in front of me?“No way!”Martha yelled loudly.Anne was mad. Martha was too evil. She even insulted Mr. Philip.Mr. Philip had helped her and her brother.Anne could not stand this.“I did not! There’s nothing between me and Mr. Philip! Stop spewing nonsense!”Anne fought back. Her eyes were red.She was just a young woman. How could
Mila hid behind Anne when she saw Martha’s raised hand.Philip ran over quickly and kicked Martha on her back heavily.“Ouch!”Martha yelled in pain. Then, she fell forward and landed on the floor.“Who’s that? Do you want to die?”Martha was lying on the floor face down. Her nose was broken. She yelled while turning around and holding her nose.However, when she saw the person standing behind her, she shuddered.Oh no, it was Philip!Oh no!Last time, he taught Joel a lesson right here in this living room.Martha started trembling when she recalled what had happened last time.Philip was livid. He bared his teeth as he glared at Martha. Then, he turned around and walked to Mila. He asked while squatting down, “Are you okay? Did Grandma hurt you?”Mila was terrified. When she saw her father, she jumped into his arms and bawled. “Daddy, boo hoo…”Philip was heartbroken. He could not distinguish the flames of anger in his heart.He lifted his head and looked at Anne. He not
“God, there’s no law anymore! My daughter is teaming up with my son-in-law to hit me! I can’t live like this!”Martha sat on the floor and bawled while slapping her thighs.At this moment, Charles walked in through the door. He was shocked when he saw what was going on in the hall.“Martha, what’s going on?”Charles ran to Martha. When he saw the blood on her nose and her swollen cheeks, he was heartbroken.“What else could have happened? You good-for-nothing, you only know how to play with your birds and play chess. Your wife is going to be beaten to death by your son-in-law!”When Martha saw that Charles was back, she was confident. She pointed at Philip and started hurling abuses at him.When Charles heard that, his face fell. He scowled at Philip and scolded, “Philip, how can you hit your mother-in-law? You even hit her until she’s in this state. This is illegal!”Philip looked at Charles coldly. His gaze caused the latter to shudder and back away.“Charles, I’m warning yo
“Why are you here?”Philip frowned and looked at Chloe. She was still so hot-tempered. She never dilly-dallied whenever she wanted to do something.“I’m here to teach this little b*tch a lesson. It’s all because of her that you’re being served the family restraining order. If she wasn’t in the picture, you’d be back to…”Chloe was talking fast without thinking. She just blurted out whatever was in her mind.Philip was shocked. He immediately slapped her and roared, “Who allowed you to slap my wife?”Damn!If he was one second late, she would have exposed his identity.He did not have a choice. After he slapped her, Chloe clutched her red face as tears welled up in her eyes. She scowled angrily at Philip and Wynn. Then, she said angrily, “You’ll regret this, Philip.”After she said that, Chloe walked away while her high heels clicked angrily.Over here, Wynn’s face was dark. The handprint on her left cheek was extremely eye-catching.“When are you going to cut all ties with he
Vivian chuckled coldly and walked out of the cafe.After a while, Martha was sent back to the entrance of Longford Park.After she got out of the car, she was still in a daze.She could not meet her friends now.Back at the villa, she collapsed on the sofa lifelessly. She did not know what to do.Coincidentally, Philip and Wynn came downstairs.Martha asked, “Where are you going? Do you need me to save some dinner for you two?”Wynn replied, “No need. There’s a dinner party tonight. Philip and I are attending.”After she said that, Wynn left with Philip following behind her.He had no choice. His wife was still mad, so he could only tolerate her.She had a baby in her belly now.Wynn reapplied her makeup in the car and said, “All of the famous pharmaceutical entrepreneurs in Riverdale will be there at the business dinner party tonight. We’ll go and buy two sets of outfits later.”“Is this party important?”Philip asked in confusion. They already had Buffer’s funds, so why
Philip was stunned.‘This friend is sitting right next to you. It’s your husband.’“Oh, in due time. He’s overseas.”Philip smiled awkwardly and said.Wynn nodded and did not say anything.The Riverdale business dinner party would be held in the presidential banquet hall of Shangri-La Hotel tonight. All of the top 100 well-known leaders in different industries would be there. All of the rich and famous entrepreneurs of the pharmaceutical industry from Riverdale would be at the party tonight. All of them had net worths of over 100 million.A lot of important entrepreneurs from other cities had been invited here.The top ten representatives of the pharmaceutical industry were all invited as well.Plus, the host of this party, Cynthia Larson, was standing at the entrance welcoming all of the guests from different industries.Wynn’s car stopped in front of the red carpet. She was wearing a black strapless and backless gown while Philip was wearing a neat suit. When they appeared
At this time, Cameron and his men returned in the middle of the night. He saw the Claude family members crying as soon as he returned. They were bruised and battered from a beating, looking utterly miserable. Cameron was furious that someone would dare to bully his family members while he was away. “What's going on? Why are you in this state? Did someone cause trouble while I was away?” Cameron was angry and in disbelief, feeling that something was strange. Everyone nodded nervously. “Ronan is here!” The old woman who suffered the worst beating was very upset and glared viciously in Ronan’s direction. “Cameron, although you left me in charge while you were away, I can’t do it anymore. Ronan kept messing with us and even brought some people to beat us up!” The old woman made up stories and described Ronan as an unforgivable evildoer. Cameron scowled, but he could not believe it. “What did you say? Ronan actually hit someone?” He was unwilling to believe it. Although Ronan
Philip took out some fine wine, which was worthless to him but priceless to Ronan. Ronan laughed at Philip’s nonchalance and patted his shoulder. The two of them sat down and started drinking. Rabbit joined in the fun and swallowed the wine in big gulps. Although the alcohol content was a bit high for Rabbit, he enjoyed it happily. They quickly felt slightly tipsy. Although they were practitioners, they did not use any techniques to sober up. It was okay to be a little intoxicated as long as it did not affect them too much. It was rare to find a friend who they could click so well with, so it was a blessing to get drunk together. As they drank happily, the aroma of the wine wafted out. Everyone smelled the fragrance and looked for the source of the scent. They quickly found Ronan's residence and scowled. That smell proved that he had to be drinking good wine in there. “How is he worthy of such fine wine?” “Just a whiff of that wine clears my head, so it has to be good s
Although victory was not confirmed, they had to take part. Since the other party said so, they had no choice but to win. At the thought of the other major families, Cameron scowled as he felt the pressure. “I heard that you have a non-human descendant in your family,” the other party said with a smile, but it was uncertain if his intention was to mock Cameron or to find out some information. The Claude family scowled as they instantly figured out who the other party was talking about—Ronan. This person had disgraced the whole family. “We do have someone like that in our family. Back then, one of our youths was restless and impulsive…” Cameron wanted to explain, but the other party interrupted him. The mysterious man smiled with satisfaction at Cameron’s admittance. “If that’s the case, it’s great. Let this person take part in the competition. I’m interested in his strength and want to try it out in person. “Other than your victory, this person has to take part in the comp
By treating Ronan badly, the people would receive some rewards from the higher-ups. After a while, everyone got used to it. Even the wine sold to Ronan was cheap wine that no one wanted. “There’ll be a place for me in the world somehow!” Philip shook his head. These people’s attitude was strange, indeed, but he did not think that they could not find a roof over their heads. Since the Claude family was so arrogant, they could take over their place. Thinking of this, Philip took them back to the Claude family's manor and knocked on the door with a smile on his face. The guards were horrified to see Philip and Ronan again. They did not forget how badly they were beaten earlier. Thus, no one dared to stop them from marching in for fear that they would be beaten again. They could not afford the consequences. The Claude family quickly learned about their appearance. They scowled, their faces turning ashen. “Why are you here again?” “We already told you that they won't be ba
Even though everyone was angry, they could not help but taunt the culprit. The cowardly man coughed at their sarcastic remarks. “Let’s wait until the family head returns tomorrow. I don’t believe Ronan will be so arrogant when he’s around!” After saying that, he ran to his room and hid, unwilling to say more to the others. Ronan did not know what happened back then. As long as he refused to admit it, he believed that Ronan could not do anything to him. It was a conspiracy against Ronan’s mother back then. If the family head refused to protect him, he would tell Ronan everything to save himself.… After Ronan left the luxurious manor, his mood instantly became better. He never thought that he would do something so spectacular one day. “Thank you.” Ronan lowered his head to Philip humbly. He was grateful to Philip and wanted to pledge brotherhood with Philip. Philip waved his hands awkwardly, surprised by Ronan’s courtesy. He did not do much; he just gave him some confiden
Other members of the family had been so pampered that no one could fight Ronan either. All of them were sent flying, and some of them hung on the tree miserably. Philip laughed at the scene. These people had always treated Ronan as a pushover when, in fact, Ronan was a force to be reckoned with. None of them was a match for him. “I know that other than my uncle, some other people were also involved in harming my mother, but I don’t know who they are. You'd better hand them over or no one will leave this place alive today.” Ronan’s killing intent was very intense. He was clearly very angry. Everyone panicked and looked around carefully, at a loss for what to do. They saw the fear in each other’s eyes. The family head had taken Ronan's uncle and some other people to a city. It was difficult for them to find a decision-maker when the elders were not around. The instigator from back then was not around either. Who else could they look for? “Calm down. This matter has nothin
Ronan’s uncle did not hesitate to force his elder sister to her death just to kick the most promising descendant out of the family. This grudge was unforgivable. Everyone laughed at Ronan’s audacity to seek revenge. Only a fool would dare to do that. “Do you know how powerful your uncle is?” “Although he’s not here now, he’s not someone you can afford to mess with.” Everyone mocked Ronan without taking him seriously at all. “Did you hear what I said?” Ronan scowled. These people kept disregarding his request and paid no attention to him. He felt very upset. “Since you won’t hand him over, I’ll beat you until he appears. If he’s not here, other people can take his place.” He knew that his uncle was quite powerful and would often go to other towns or cities for networking. While it was true that he might not be around, it did not mean that Ronan would not make trouble for the others. Everyone looked at Ronan arrogantly, waiting to see what Ronan would do. Suddenly, Rona
The guards were taken aback by Ronan’s sudden arrogance and looked at him doubtfully. “What’s up with you? Do you want to take action?” “After all these years, have you finally decided to avenge your mother?” They kept taunting Ronan without realizing how angry he was. “I repeat—I want to see the people who forced my mother to her death back then!” Ronan stomped his foot in anger and glared at everyone around him. The guards were startled because they finally felt Ronan’s strength with that stomp. They did not expect him to be that strong. Maybe because of Ronan’s fury, they finally realized his might and quickly scrambled into the manor. Philip saw the name on a plaque—Claude Manor. The place looked pretty imposing, and Philip felt a stab of longing as he looked around. Philip stood without a word. His main objective was to help Ronan. The guards ran away in a panic. They knew that Ronan was going to make things difficult for them. “It’s bad. Ronan is at the door
The man could not resist because he was alone. Next time, he would bring more people to deal with Philip. Philip saw his resentment but took no notice of it. No matter how much he resented Philip, he would not survive tonight. Such an arrogant and domineering person would not live to see the sun tomorrow. “Y-You hit him?” Ronan looked at Philip in disbelief, shocked that Philip would stand up for him. Although he usually appeared simple and kind, he was not a fool. He knew that Philip hit that guy to protect him. “If you meet such people again, just fight them and don’t worry about unnecessary things. You don't want to fight because you’re afraid of losing the right to enter the town, but you’re my brother from now on. “I can take care of your wine supply, and we can find other ways to make money. You don’t have to waste your efforts and live under someone else's roof anymore,” Philip said arrogantly, not taking these people seriously at all. Hearing that, Ronan nodded with
