Wynn was very nervous. Was Philip going to bring her home to the Clarke family?Then, what should she do? Would her father-in-law and the rest of the family members like her? “Wait, Philip, wait a minute!” Wynn immediately grabbed Philip and said bashfully, “I… I need to change.” Philip was startled. He touched Wynn’s head and said, “It’s okay, just follow me.” After that, Philip pulled Wynn into the BMW and left Longford Park. When they left, Martha happened to see them at the entrance. “Where are they going in such a hurry?” Martha muttered to herself sullenly. She was followed by a group of friends, all dressed up. “Hey, Martha, is this your villa? It’s so big and lavish.” “Goodness, this must be First Palace. It’s too luxurious. How much is your Wynn earning again?” “I’m so envious! Martha is the first among us to live in a villa, and it’s at Longford Park too! I’m so jealous!” The friends chattered endlessly and could not stop heaping praises on her. The
Giada’s expression instantly changed from calm to shock, then to anger! “Do you know what you’re talking about?” Giada admonished. Her aura exploded, and the temperature in the entire hall dropped sharply like a cold winter. This damn Philip, why did he suddenly mention this? Did he understand what it meant to bring Wynn back? Giada would never allow this to happen! Wynn was stunned. She did not expect that just the topic of going home would make Giada so furious. She looked at Philip with flickering eyes. She did not understand what the reason was. Philip merely smiled and said, “Of course, I know what I’m talking about. I also know what you and the Wallis family are doing. I know that you’ve done a lot to fight the other branches of the family over the years. However, you have to be clear, the Clarke family will always carry the name Clarke. It’s impossible for our family to be named Wallis. I’m the eldest son of the Clarke family and the only heir. Even if you give m
Giada frowned at the unexpected appearance of Tim Clarke. “Uncle Tim.” Philip looked at Tim with a smile. The latter also gave him a doting look, patted him on the shoulder, and asked, “Are you alright?” Philip shrugged and said, “I’m fine.” Tim nodded, turned to Wynn, and said smilingly, “Niece-in-law, we meet again.” Wynn tucked the hair that hung around her ears, politely nodded at Tim, and said, “Uncle Tim.” “Haha, hello!” Tim was very happy. This greeting was better than anything else. Wynn was really frightened just now. She did not expect Philip’s uncle to appear so suddenly. Moreover, looking at this scene, Uncle Tim’s identity did not seem to be so simple. He had armed men with him! It was horrifying! Wynn raised her chin and looked at Philip with doubts in her heart. Who on earth was her husband? Why was he always so mysterious? When Tim turned his head, the smile on his face immediately fell grim. He stared at Giada and said coldly, “Giada, what wer
Wynn stepped on the lawn with her hands behind her back. She looked very fresh and attractive. When the sun shone on her through the mottled leaves, she looked as if she was covered with a layer of gold. It was a stunning sight to see. “Wynnie.” Philip walked over with his hands in his trouser pockets. Wynn turned around smilingly and asked, “Are you done?” Philip nodded and reached out to remove a small leaf from Wynn's hair. The latter asked hesitantly, “By the way, Phil, what does Uncle Tim do? His appearance is so…” Wynn pointed to the rows of armed men over there, her big eyes filled with suspicions. Philip considered before saying, “Those belong to my family.” Wynn’s eyes widened at those words. She stared at Philip incredulously, then pointed at the armed men over there before asking again, “You, what did you say? Those belong to your family?” How could that be? What did that mean? Those men were all armed with ammunition! They belonged to her husband’s
Philip was full of anger and his face turned grim. It seemed that Martha had already forgotten the lesson from before as she dared to treat Mila this way again. Martha was also flustered at the time, especially when she saw Philip rushing in from the door. The latter’s face was full of chills, which reminded her of her beating in the living room that night. Damn it, why was the timing so coincidental! “That, Philip, hear me out…” Martha tried to explain. However... Philip rushed over, waved his big hand, and slapped Martha angrily! Smack! This slap could be said to have exploded directly in the living room. The old ladies all jumped from the sofa and hid aside in fear. They were dumbfounded. Was Philip not a wastrel? How dare he hit his mother-in-law? “What are you doing? How dare you hit Martha? You’re too disrespectful!” One middle-aged woman wanting to please Martha stood up at this time and pointed at Philip arrogantly. However, Philip just cast her a cold
Instantly, these middle-aged women all picked up their bags and fled the living room in a swarm. “Martha, we’ll come back another time.” Before they left, they did not forget to say a polite remark to Martha. Very soon, the living room was left with Martha, who was flushed red, Philip, his wife, as well as Anne who carried Mila upstairs. Wynn held her forehead and looked at Martha. She was absolutely disappointed with her mother. “Mom, I’ve had enough of you. You’re a retired university lecturer after all. How have you become so unreasonable now?” Wynn asked helplessly. Martha was still irritated as she said, “Are you already so grown up that you can speak to me this way?” Martha was very angry that her daughter was so protective of Philip. She just did not like Philip. Even if he had some money now, Martha just could not like him. He was like her enemy from the previous life. “Mom, can you stop being so unreasonable? You know Philip is the one who bought this vil
Just as Wynn was about to drink it, the bedroom door was pushed open. Mila ran in crying, her small mouth pouting. She looked very sad. “Mommy,” Mila called out childishly and pounced into Wynn’s arms. Wynn had to put down the cup. She carried Mila and put her on her lap, laughing as she teased her and asked, “What’s happened to Mila? Why aren’t you happy?” Mila sat on her mother’s lap, inhaled her comforting scent, and said, “I want to play outside.” Wynn thought for a moment and said, “Okay, wait for me. I’ll bring you out to play, okay?” “Okay!” Mila nodded heavily, smacked a loud kiss on Wynn’s cheek, and got down from her lap. She pestered Wynn and pulled her into her small bedroom to show her the mermaid princess doll. Wynn could not help but oblige. It was her day off anyway, so she started playing with Mila. Anne started her cleaning duties. She walked into the master bedroom, saw the two cups of herbal tea on the table, took them downstairs, and poured the cont
Philip was supposed to meet Cynthia in a western restaurant. Cynthia, who was here early, was dressed very simply, but her appearance was not inferior to other women because of her good image and poise. Even in just a simple white dress, she was like a lotus flower in the water, attracting the eyes of most men in the restaurant. Cynthia noticed Philip walking in from the door and waved happily with a smile on her face. Philip also waved briefly and walked through the crowd toward Cynthia. He pulled out the chair and sat down. Cynthia grinned and handed him the menu. “This restaurant is newly opened. There are a lot of delicious dishes. You can look through the menu and see if anything interests you.” Philip obliged. He picked up the menu and thought for a long time before he ordered a few dishes casually. “That’s it. I don’t really know what to eat.” After that, Philip finally asked, “Cynthia, why are you looking for me? Is something wrong?” Larson family of Fernvale, his m
“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
“Now that the spider people have found new blood, I’m afraid that things will worsen.” At this point, Fitz sighed helplessly. Rabbit jumped out at this time. He hated the spider people. Hearing their shameless behavior, Rabbit was agitated. “Sure enough, those spiders are up to no good. Philip, why don’t we just get rid of them? Take it as revenge for me!” Rabbit waved his paw and looked at Philip excitedly. He knew that only Philip could help him. The spiders might not be strong, but they had strength in numbers. They were not people to be trifled with. While Philip and the others were chatting, Ariadna and her people found the spider people. Arachne was very excited and smug, waiting to take all the credit. “As I said, we can find something we've been looking for if we enter this place! Sure enough, following Philip can help us overcome all difficulties and find our ancestral land and predecessors. So what if they're trapped here? They must have many more treasures and secr
They could also see some toddlers, which proved that the predecessors were living quite a good life. “We thought you had ascended to another place. Is this the place you ended up? It doesn’t look like the paradise described in the books!” Selma blinked innocently, wondering why this place looked like this. This place was not rich in energy, and there was nothing special about it, so it was not attractive at all. “We didn’t ascend but have been trapped in this place over the years with no way to leave.” Fitz did not want to deceive them and simply told them the facts. Now that they had entered, the newcomers had no way of leaving either. “Didn’t you notice? The passage that led you in has been sealed. There’s no way to leave now.” Selma turned her head curiously and looked at the exit. Philip followed suit and found that it was indeed the case. The exit was blocked by a huge stone. No one knew when the stone appeared. It felt like it appeared out of thin air. Philip's ex
When Philip’s eyes adjusted to the light, he saw a gurgling stream in front of him. There was a small village beside the stream and many more villages along the stream. Philip counted four in total. The villagers who lived along the stream observed Philip as he looked at them. “Outsiders?” A man standing in the front stared at Philip in surprised disbelief. Philip noticed that he had a snake tail. Hearing the man's words, everyone ran out. Without exception, they all had a snake tail. It was clear that they belonged to the same race as Selma. Selma covered her mouth in shock at this scene. It was true. Their predecessors were staying there. The man mellowed down after seeing Selma. He felt a familiar vibe on her. It seemed that they shared the same bloodline. Philip nudged Selma, who quickly understood his meaning and showed her true form. Cavin followed her cue. Seeing this scene, the man laughed and applauded. The spider people arrived at this time. They were surpri
Philip finally realized that Ariadna was not wealthy enough to do business with him. “This emerald pendant is very valuable! Don’t look down on it just because you’re strong!” Ariadna grumbled under her breath but had no choice but to accept it. After all, Philip had the final say about its value. Maybe her treasure was worthless to Philip because he was too strong for it. After taking the emerald pendant, Philip told Ariadna what he knew per their agreement, which was the secret about people living in the ancestral land. As expected, Ariadna was shocked by the news too. “Are you serious? This is too far-fetched. Are you saying that our predecessors have been trapped here and haven't left for another place?” Her outburst gave Philip a different idea. When he spoke to Selma earlier, he subconsciously believed that these so-called predecessors had ascended. It was strange that they reached a very odd place of ascension. After hearing Ariadna’s remark, however, it seemed mor
No one knew if their predecessors would treat them as their own. Although they had the same bloodline, they had not seen each other for such a long time. Besides, they sneaked into the ancestral land without permission. Maybe they would be killed before they stepped inside. Philip’s information was very useful, indeed. Selma quickly returned to her family members in a panic and discussed with them. With only a few of them, the discussion was very brief before they reached a decision. Cavin grimaced at this unexpected development, and he was more in awe of Philip. He was shocked by Philip’s strength. If Philip could sense that, his observation skill was nothing in front of Philip! Cavin felt helpless about it. It felt a little embarrassing to have shown off his skill in front of Philip now. “Selma, what should we do now? We have to consider the stalkers behind us. They won’t give up that easily. We may be in trouble if we don't find a way to get rid of them.” Cavin glanced at th
