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
Houston looked at Master Quaid nervously. He could tell that Master Quaid had already taken an interest in Wynn. He was still hesitant because he wanted to use Master Quaid to destroy Wynn and Philip. However, he would surely lose Wynn like this.Master Quaid noticed Houston’s change in expression from the corner of his eyes. However, he was not bothered. He was a young master from an influential family, so he could immediately tell what Houston was planning. Despite that, he was not bothered since all of his attention was on Wynn.He wanted this woman so badly!Houston lowered his voice and asked, “Master Quaid, aren’t you going to go talk to Wynn?”“Not yet. The party tonight is more important.”Master Quaid swirled the wine in his glass. He was not in a hurry. Marcus Quaid would make any woman he wanted present themselves to him obediently.However, after he finished saying that, he noticed a familiar figure.Cynthia walked over slowly in an evening gown. She was approaching
At this moment.Houston walked out from the crowd and pointed at Philip. He said angrily, “Philip, do you know who you’re talking to? That’s Master Quaid! The young master from the Quaid family in Capital City!”Houston had a meticulous plan. He would come out and speak up for Marcus so that he could gain some dignity for him. Through this, he would be able to be closer to Marcus.When Houston said this, the entrepreneur and aristocrats in the pharmaceutical industry were all berating Philip for being arrogant. He was not gentlemanly at all!All kinds of criticisms filled the air. They were all saying that Philip should not be here.It was such a disappointment to have a piece of trash like him over here.Philip was not bothered. He only smiled. However, one could not tell what he was thinking from that smile.Was this guy not worried that this young master from Capital City would do something to Beacon?“Alright, it’s fine. It’s nothing. Philip is just a straightforward person
When Shirley saw that Houston was being beaten up, she walked out from the crowd and helped him up. Then, she scolded Philip. “You’re so rude! This is a high-end party in Riverdale! How dare you be so arrogant! Security, kick him out!”She finally had a chance, so Shirley did not hold herself back in criticizing Philip. However, she was wrong.Philip snickered and walked in front of Shirley. He grabbed her hair and slapped both sides of her face simultaneously. He slapped her six to seven times without holding back. Then, he said coldly, “You’re everywhere. How can a cheap wh*re like you bark at me?”Marcus came forward. His face was cold. He said unhappily, “Dude, you’re attacking people just because they criticized you. That’s not appropriate, is it?”Philip glanced at him coldly. The aura around him got more and more intense. A sudden coldness enveloped the hall, and Marcus was so stunned that he could not come back to his senses after a long while.How scary! Why did this man
Finally, Marcus lifted his eyebrows after having a chance to take a breather. He looked at Philip with his bright red eyes. A hint of malice flashed across his lips as he got up from the floor slowly.His expensive suit was already drenched with all kinds of alcohol and dessert. He looked like he just climbed out from a garbage pile. He looked horrible.Marcus got up and removed his suit jacket before throwing it on the floor. Then, he pointed at Philip and yelled hysterically, “Do you want to die? Do you know what consequences you have to suffer for kicking me?”Marcus’ eyes were dark. He was looking at Philip like he was going to devour him.Yes, he was the second young master of the Quaids and Philip was indeed asking to die by doing that to him.However, Philip spread his hands and said fearlessly, “That’s the most hilarious joke I’ve ever heard. I’ve already kicked you and you’re still being pretentious in front of me. Don’t you think that’s pointless?“Consequences? What co
If Philip was at fault, Lincoln had nothing to say. However, if Hogster was the one who had caused all the trouble, he would not spare them. “I’ll get to the bottom of this. Now, tell me what’s going on with Dennis. Based on my understanding of him, he wouldn't betray the guild for no reason. He must have a reason for doing this!” Neither of them could explain what happened to Dennis. They could only say that humans were fickle. After all, they could not figure it out either. The person at fault would never admit their fault. Alain did not think that he was biased or thought that what he had done was excessive. He simply thought that Dennis looked down on him, which was why he decided to leave. Now that he was gone, Alain could say whatever he wanted, and Dennis could not defend himself. Thinking of this, Alain was very excited. He began to defame Dennis and shifted the attention away from him and his son. Lincoln scowled as he listened. Then, he returned to his room and summ
Alain was helpless. Although he had a lot to say, he could not do anything in front of Lincoln. Lincoln was stronger than him in every aspect, a force to be reckoned with. He was not someone Alain could deal with. Alain looked at Lincoln awkwardly. He wanted to appease his anger but did not know what to say. “You need to explain this to me. Why did Dennis leave? And I want to know why the guild’s reputation has become so bad. Did you do something wrong?”Lincoln heard that Dennis had been expelled and could no longer stay in the guild. Many people supported Dennis, so they were upset with Alain and tried to defame him. Hearing that, Alain knew that someone must have been talking behind his back, but he did not dare to lose his temper. He forced a smile and looked at Lincoln in a flattering manner. Before he could find an excuse, Hogster rushed over excitedly and said to his father, “Father, guess what I did to Philip? Hehe!” Hogster recounted his handiwork smugly without p
It had been years since the grandmaster went into seclusion for practice. He was not concerned about power. He once mentioned that he would not leave his seclusion unless he reached the top. Hence, no one expected to see him. “Grandmaster, you appeared at the right time. We would've been in trouble if you didn't come out!” “That’s right. Everyone is bullying us. Now that you’re out, you can help us.” Everyone complained about their grievances, feeling sorry for themselves. The Hexa Guild was in trouble, and they faced various problems too. All the major guilds were keeping a close eye on the Hexa Guild, waiting to see them make a fool of themselves. The Celestial Palace planned to destroy the Hexa Guild instead of letting them off. They could not accept the initial setup, so they decided to erase the Hexa Guild from existence. Hence, the Hexa Guild had been under great pressure, with the members wishing that someone could help them. Unexpectedly, a strong expert appeared.
Ronan was his buddy, and his wife's reputation was at stake. Philip could not stand idly by. He had to help. Jamie was very fast at ordering his people to make the matter public. No one expected another dramatic turn of events. Everyone thought that the young lady of the Celestial Palace was an unchaste woman for making that decision. Unexpectedly, the Celestial Palace found a way to solve the side effects of their technique. All the major guilds were in trepidation. Although the Celestial Palace’s technique was very powerful, the side effects reduced its allure. Now that that problem was solved, everything was different. On top of that, the holy maiden and other members of the guild showed their appearance in public. Regardless of gender, everyone was beautiful without any markings on their faces. After seeing this scene, everyone knew that the Celestial Palace was about to make a comeback. Carlos was very excited and thought that Vanna was a lucky star to bring so many
After reading the letter, Alain trembled in anger, shocked that two of his strongest members would choose to leave the guild at such a critical time. Their departure was no joke. The guild could lose the guild competition at any minute! Dennis and Louis were very strong and could hold down the fort in the competition. With their departure, Alain would have fewer people to count on, and things might end up a mess. He was furious about their abrupt departure. “I need to capture Dennis. How dare he betray us?!” Alain was very upset. As a traitor, Dennis had to be dealt with. The news quickly spread, and many members found out that Dennis had chosen to leave the guild. The other elders also wondered what they should do. They knew that Dennis was a smart man and was good at judging the situation. Choosing to leave was a sign of a change to come. Everyone had their own thoughts and a rough guess about what was going on. Alain's actions not only caused an uproar but also made
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
