“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
“No one ever comes to my place. You must be outsiders.” Celeste was curious, wondering who Philip was. Celeste knew about the four unique races, but Philip’s appearance and form did not fit any of them. “You’re right. I’m an outsider. I wanted to know something, so I came to the forest. It’s best if you can give me an answer. I don’t intend to harm anyone. If you can answer my questions, I’ll leave and remove the curse on you as well,” Philip persuaded her. He felt that the woman was quite sincere, different from what he imagined. In that case, there was no need to make things difficult for her. Besides, he did not feel a murderous vibe in her, so she had probably never done anything bad. Philip had no reason to make things difficult for someone who liked to hide and sing. “Go ahead. I’ll answer you if I know, but I don’t really know much. I usually stay in my own territory and have no contact with the outside world. Even the other races don't know of my existence.” Rabbit
Philip felt that there was no problem with his hearing. Someone was humming a song, and the tune sounded very strange and spooky in the dark forest. Rabbit frowned and nodded. He also heard the strange sound and was scared. “Who has nothing better to do but to sing here?” Rabbit nervously grabbed the corner of Philip's clothes, afraid that Philip would leave him behind. Philip shook his head. According to the others, no one would come here for no reason. Due to various dangers in the forest, they would only wander around the edge without seeking trouble in the depths. In that case, the abrupt singing voice was very strange, indeed. “Philip, don't be nervous. Stay calm.” Rabbit's voice was trembling. Although Rabbit kept telling Philip to stay calm, he was already freaking out, so scared that he nearly wanted to run away. Philip knew Rabbit’s character, so he did not comment. He simply observed the surroundings and listened carefully to the sound, which was so ethereal tha
Philip took Puffy along and quickly arrived in a forest where the other races usually hunted, so they should not face any danger here. As soon as Philip left, a woman appeared in the corner and looked in the direction where Philip left with a conflicted look on her face. “Should I follow him?” Ariadna had been left behind in the snake people’s village. She had no friends, and no one paid her any attention. Sometimes, they even displayed their ridicule and disdain for her. She did not get good treatment even though she was a junior from the outside world. In desperation, Ariadna decided to follow Philip. Unexpectedly, she saw Philip with a cute kid the next second. Ariadna was surprised to see that Philip had such a big and cute child. “Wait, that kid looks a little weird.” Due to the distance, Ariadna could not see what the kid looked like, but his color and body shape seemed different from that of normal people. After much deliberation, Ariadna decided to tag along, co
“I’ll look around and find out what’s going on. Don’t worry about me. Look for Ronan if anything crops up.” Philip decided to leave Ronan in charge. Ronan did not object. He knew that Philip wanted to train him. He rarely interacted with others, so he had poor social skills. He had improved with Philip’s help, but his skills were still nothing compared to Philip’s subordinates. He was deeply moved by the opportunity that Philip had given him. “Sure enough, heroes will emerge from the youth. You two will have a bright future!” Wren said excitedly. Philip did not comment. After a few pleasantries, he wandered around with Rabbit. Selma and her people had no time for Philip. They finally found their predecessors, so they had many questions to solve. Philip was most interested in getting to the bottom of this mysterious place. It felt more like a cage designed to trap them. It was devoid of rich energy and other resources suitable for them. What was the purpose of the person b
A woman like Arachne who pursued her own happiness was usually frowned upon. A person who was willing to sacrifice for the family would be recorded in history forever. Weaver patted Ariadna's shoulder expectantly, believing she could carry it out. After all, he did not know what had happened between them earlier. Everything was a big mistake. “I don’t think I can complete this difficult task,” Ariadna said nervously, afraid that Weaver would put too much hope on her. Ariadna knew that Rabbit had a grudge against her. Moreover, some of her actions had offended Philip, who might ignore her because of that. Thinking of this, she wanted to decline the task, but Weaver was very firm about his decision. “As the holy maiden of the family, this task is yours. No one else can do it but you.” Weaver put Ariadna on a high pedestal, so all the pressure fell on her. Weaver left with the others, leaving the poor holy maiden behind. Arachne looked at Ariadna resentfully. The opportunity
“You never considered the consequences when you tried to take advantage of us. We brought them here, and they have the right to choose. Don't think about taking advantage.” Philip nodded at Fitz’s attitude. Sure enough, he liked this earnest man and was happy with his point of view. “If you want something, you need to pay a price for it. As I mentioned, I’m a businessman, so I prefer fair trade. I’m more than happy if you want to discuss a deal with me.” In fact, they had reached an agreement before the spider people arrived. Philip would not help the other three races for free, but he was not bad enough to charge them fees either. However, the spider people were different. Not to mention that Philip had a bad impression of them, but Rabbit’s grudge also remained unavenged. The spider people scowled at Philip’s disrespect, which was simply outrageous. The other races laughed gloatingly. The spider people had always been arrogant and domineering, preventing their developme
“I'm afraid that the snake people will strike a deal with him and monopolize everything.” The old man anxiously led everyone in the direction of the snake people. They could not miss the chance to share a piece of the pie. However, he did not intend to tell his people about it. The other two races no longer existed in the outside world, so it did not matter if they could not leave. It would be best to let their legends fade away in history. That idea was very selfish. Just when he thought he could grab all the benefits by stealth, the snake people shared the information without keeping it a secret. However, the snake people only shared the news with the other two races. They did not have a good impression of the spider people and even had the idea of leaving them behind. When the spider people hurried over, they found a crowd. They saw not only the young ones of the snake people but also those from the other two races. The other two races were the turtles and magpies. Just li
The old man felt annoyed when he saw the two women not getting along. He knew that the holy maidens of the family would face a lot of struggles. Ambitious women would try every means to cause trouble just to destroy the status of the holy maidens. By doing so, they could find ways to replace them. It was an underhanded method but effective. After all, not everyone could cope with the distinguished status of the holy maiden. One mistake could be fatal. Therefore, a holy maiden had to be prideful and flawless, just like an untainted and pure white lotus. The old man nodded thoughtfully. He did not think that Arachne looked like the holy maiden, and his suspicions were confirmed. She was not the holy maiden at all. Actions spoke louder than words. Arachne did not carry a regal bearing, so she would not act like a queen even if she wore a crown. At first, the old man wondered why the spider family would choose someone so unbefitting for the role of the holy maiden. Now that
At this point, an old man walked over. Although they usually maintained their true form, they sometimes took on a human form. Unlike the snake people who did not look very different between the two forms, the spider people looked outrageous in their true forms. “Are you one of the younger generation from outside?” The old man was curious to see the younger children's arrival at this place today. As someone who could not wait to make an impression, Arachne rushed forward and began to introduce herself. In short, Arachne was gradually taking over Ariadna’s position. Although the others were annoyed, they did not say anything because Arachne was really putting in some effort. There was no point in arguing about such things. The most important thing was to remove their curse. The old man was very excited and could not wait to welcome them. “This is wonderful. It has been thousands of years since we saw an outsider!” His eyes gleamed with excitement. “Tell me how you got in,” he
