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
After the crowd left, Wynn let out a sigh of relief. These old foxes were more cunning than the next.Philip could tell that a lot of them were plotting against Wynn.Rather than plotting against Wynn, they were plotting against the recipe and data of the new medicine. In addition to that, the huge profit that would come with it.“How are you feeling? Are you tired?”Philip was standing next to Wynn in concern. He noticed that she did not look so good.“It’s fine. I’ll go and sit down for a bit.”Wynn shook her head and felt a little nauseous. Plus, she felt a little light-headed as well.At the same time.“Madam Johnston, I heard that son of a gun, Blake, say that you have a new medicine to combat cancer? What a coincidence! Drei Group is planning to move in that direction. Why don’t Beacon Pharmaceutical work with Drei Group? We can take down Riverdale and the South River District. It won’t be a problem at all. What do you think about the opinion of an old man like me?”At t
Houston was wearing a white suit. He downed his drink and turned his head to look at the man who was wearing a navy blue suit not far away from him.When he saw that man, Houston behaved extremely respectfully. Then, he picked up another glass and walked over to the man in the navy blue suit.If that man could make Houston behave so respectfully, then he must be someone extraordinary!There were a lot of men gathering around that man. They were all praising and complimenting him.“Houston, I heard you were hospitalized. Are you okay?”One of the young men asked with a smile on his face when he saw Houston walking over to them.Houston smiled and replied, “It’s nothing. Just a bug.”Actually, he had been beaten up by Philip.The young man in the navy blue suit did not even look at Houston. He swirled the wine in his hand and looked through the crowd. His gaze was locked on Wynn who was a distance away from him.“Oh? Are you interested in that woman, Master Quaid?”Houston was
A young man about the same age as him was so talented. Could anyone not be jealous? However, Louis was truly not jealous. He just wanted to learn from Philip. If Philip was really that strong, he would obey. Although Louis had a high status in the guild, he was not highly valued. That useless loser was given priority when it came to most of the resources, which made Louis upset. By right, resources should be allocated to talented people, but things were different because Hogster had a guild leader for a father. Thinking of this, Louis smiled at Philip expectantly. If Philip was worth following, he would leave the Hexa Guild without hesitation. “I want to apologize for offending you earlier. I also want to follow you, but I don’t know if I’m good enough. If you won’t consider me, I hope you can give my son a chance. He’s pretty talented.” Dennis was very polite as he apologized to Philip. Philip was surprised and thought that Dennis was quite nice. Philip invited them insi
Dennis and Louis quickly arrived at the door and knocked nervously. Rabbit opened the door this time. He did not expect to see Dennis again. He thought Dennis was here to cause trouble, so he scowled. “Why are you here again, old man? Do you want to cause more trouble for us? You’d better think twice or I’m going to get angry!” Rabbit said fiercely. Rabbit easily crushed them earlier, so they would not forget about their miserable defeat so quickly. Louis was embarrassed to hear that this rabbit had defeated his father. He had always thought that Dennis was very powerful and would not lose to a younger person no matter what. Unexpectedly, Dennis was not only defeated but lost miserably too. Louis keenly perceived that this talking rabbit was Philip’s pet and became excited. If Philip's pet was so powerful, Philip should be better. Thinking of this, he was excited and wanted to see Philip immediately. Rabbit stared at Dennis and Louis, wondering what they were up to. Denni
Celeste was surprised to see that Esther had restored her appearance. She had just seen Esther wearing a veil to cover her ugly face when they first met earlier. “Amazing! You look beautiful all of a sudden,” Celeste praised Esther from the bottom of her heart. Celeste did not know how it happened, but there had to be a reason for it. Esther smiled at Celeste. “Now that I’m beautiful, I can fully focus on taking care of Philip. Don’t worry, I won’t be worse than you.” Hearing that, Celeste was puzzled by Esther’s aggression. While everyone was lost in their own thoughts, an uninvited guest turned up at the door. It was none other than Dennis of the Hexa Guild. Dennis was not alone as he had brought his son along with him. His son was quite talented and always listened to his father's opinions. After all, he knew that he would not be where he was without his father’s guidance, and most of his father’s decisions were correct. “Father, are you sure we should leave the guild
Esther never thought that her curse could be lifted so quickly. More importantly, Esther found that all the negative energy in her body had disappeared. She took off her veil and looked at them with her true appearance. Esther was beautiful by nature, but the nasty technique had impacted her self-esteem. Now that she had regained her appearance, Esther’s confidence returned as well. “Wonderful! This technique is the perfect improved version! With this technique, our members can practice like any normal person without worrying about their appearance. Other guilds can’t kick a fuss over it or try to mess with us again!” Jamie was ecstatic and abruptly remembered a very important question. “By the way, what’s the deal with this technique? Did someone give it to you?” Jamie had to get to the bottom of it. It was very important. He would be uneasy if he did not figure out the situation. “Philip gave it to me. I don't know how he got our technique, but he’s quite good at studying
Philip nodded. That was his intention too. It would be best if Carlos did all the work for him. After getting Philip's consent, Carlos rushed out excitedly. He took the booklet to Jamie. Esther and Jamie were discussing the plan of operation. “You have to catch hold of Philip. I finally got you here. Don't let us down. It’s best if you can trick Philip into joining our guild!” Jamie persuaded Esther, hoping she could trick Philip into joining the guild. Esther sighed helplessly. She knew what she should do, but Philip was clearly not buying it. She was not as pretty as Celeste, and she had this curse on her, so she could not hold her head high at all. At this time, Carlos rushed over in a panic. “Why are you in such a hurry? You’re already a father, but you’re still so impulsive—just like a child who never grows up!” Jamie sighed helplessly at Carlos’ behavior. Carlos was like a brother who grew up with him, and the two of them had always had a good relationship. Carlos w
Carlos thought Philip would do something to him, but Philip simply handed him something he took out of his pocket. “Try practicing this technique.” After Philip handed him the item, he stared at Carlos, waiting for the result. Carlos was relieved to hear it. He had thought Philip was going to do something to him, but it turned out that Philip simply wanted Carlos to try a technique out. Carlos smiled and shook his head. “We can’t practice other techniques different from our own unless someone can make improvements to our existing technique. Only then do we have the chance to learn something new. But do you know how difficult it is to improve a technique?” Carlos smiled helplessly. Their people had been trying to improve their technique forever. After all, the side effects of the technique were simply annoying, but it was easier said than done. Their predecessors had been studying it for years but to no avail. They had no choice but to give up. Now, only one elder was resp
“Since she’s one of your people, she can stay, but don’t try to do anything,” Philip said. Philip glanced at the holy maiden. Before he could say anything else, something appeared in his mind. It was the technique she practiced. Philip had no idea what happened. He had merely glanced at her when her technique appeared in his mind. Although it was weird, Philip did not think it was a bad thing. Instead, he was happy. He knew that it was a special ability. Thinking of this, Philip was in a good mood. He went back to his room after excusing himself. He wanted to study the technique carefully. It would be best if he could discover something. The holy maiden watched indignantly as Philip left. Jamie knew that Celeste’s biggest advantage was her looks. She was so beautiful that the holy maiden felt the pressure. “Stay here with peace of mind and treat it as your own home. No need for formalities,” Celeste said to them with a smile as if she were the mistress of the house. Jam
Philip waved his hand. That was not what he meant. At this time, Celeste walked out of her room. She had fallen in love with cooking and always immersed herself in the kitchen, figuring out different recipes. In the past, Celeste lived alone in the gloomy forest without freedom or friends. After meeting Philip, she became more vibrant. Celeste would feel a sense of achievement whenever Philip ate the food she cooked. Seeing her, Philip greeted Celeste and introduced the visitors to her. “I don’t need a maid. I already have someone to take care of the household chores. Thank you for your kindness,” Philip said with a smile. Celeste had been doing a good job, so Philip did not think he needed another woman to take care of him. The more women around, the more trouble there would be. The holy maiden froze in surprise at the sight of such a beautiful woman around Philip. Although she was not ugly, she had to live with this ugly appearance until her marriage because of that nas
“That’s enough. Stop talking about me. You might as well think about how to deal with Hogster and the others. The Hexa Guild will definitely come after you.” Philip greeted Jamie calmly without taking the incident seriously at all. Seeing his reaction, Jamie thought that Philip was more and more unfathomable. The Hexa Guild was making a big fuss over this case. Many guilds had accepted the Hexa Guild’s gifts and now stood in opposition to the Celestial Palace. Although this matter had nothing to do with those guilds at all, they accepted the Hexa Guild's gifts in exchange for hyping the news up. It would be best if the two guilds fought. Maybe they could take advantage of the situation in the process! The other major guilds were waiting to watch the excitement too. They hoped that the Celestial Palace would be affected by this incident and it would maybe result in them losing the guild competition. Philip was also quite interested in the guild competition but was more curious
