Houston stood behind Blake, watching as the cruise gradually entered the port. “Why are you so nervous, Dad? He’s just a young master from the Quaid family, right? Do you have to be so scared? It’s not like we can’t live without their help.“Don’t forget, we have an even more powerful patron!”They had the Wallises from Golden City!Now, that was a powerful empire!Houston sounded quite miffed. He had only gotten beaten up because he tried to defend Marcus last time. At first, he thought that Marcus must surely be capable, since he was the young master of the Quaids and all, but after what happened last time, he realized that he had been mistaken.The Quaids from Capital City really were not all that. Their reputation must have been exaggerated.After all, they did not even dare to do anything to that trash, Philip.He had waited for so long, but the Quaids did not do a thing.So much for having four generals in one family!They were probably bluffing.That Marcus Quaid was e
Marcus stepped out of the Lincoln limo and tugged at his suit, looking up at the skyscraper in front of him. There was a cold smile on his lips.Behind him stood Len, Blake, Houston and the others.The security guards at Beacon hurriedly approached them with a bow when they saw this line-up.Blake invited Marcus into Beacon’s building with a gentlemanly bow, as though he truly owned the place.As for the young beautiful girls at the reception, when they saw that the visitors were Mr. Blake Michaels, the vice-chairman, and another extremely eye-catching young man, their first instinct was naturally to contact the chairwoman’s secretary.Soon enough, the news that Blake was here with a mysterious young man spread all throughout Beacon.Philip was in a good mood today. He was chatting idly with the other members of the marketing department, watching live streams with Julia Jones and the others as they snacked and gossiped. Just then, they saw Nina and a few others run out of the doo
“Madam Johnston, I came here personally. Don’t you think that means I represent the Quaids when I speak? Efficiency is most important these days, and a partnership will be a win-win situation. I’m sure you can read the trends, Mada, Johnston. No one in the entire Riverdale can compete with my family. If I say that Beacon can enter the top ten with us, I mean it. If I say that Beacon can enter the Capital City market, then you can. I hope you understand what I’m getting at, Madam Johnston.”Arrogantly, Marcus stood up and put his hands in his pockets, walking toward the floor-to-ceiling window. He looked out at the entirety of Riverdale and spoke with utmost certainty. “Our family has the funds and resources. We’re here today not only to discuss a deal with Beacon, but also with Everlast Glory, Starlight, and United International.”Marcus turned to look at Wynn, smiling confidently. “Beacon is merely my first stop here. You won’t disappoint me, will you? Madam Johnston?”Wynn frown
Marcus stood up and held his hands behind his back, telling the old man Len next to him, “Uncle Len, take her away.”Len nodded slightly. Wynn saw the old man take one step after another toward her, the pressure rolling off him in dangerous waves!“Sorry, girl.”With that, Len reached his hand out and grabbed Wynn!Just then, the door to the chairperson’s office flew open. Philip stumbled in, smiling sheepishly. “You asked for me, Madam Johnston?”They were at work, after all. He should not call her honey.Everyone in the office froze and stared at Philip, who was standing at the door.Some of the gazes were enraged, others suspicious, nervous, grateful, confused…As for Philip, he just walked in obediently and closed the door behind him.“Um, Madam Johnston, what’s happening here?”Philip had been standing outside for a long time now. He came in and feigned ignorance, though.“Philip Clarke! Well, well, you saved me the trouble of going to you.”The embers of rage in Mar
Philip shrugged and said, “I don’t know, but what I do know is that I beat someone up pretty badly a while ago, and then I warned him that if he ever came to Riverdale again, or if he ever tried to get back at Beacon, I would make him suffer even worse!”Marcus flipped out, roaring, “Famous last words! Uncle Len, show him what happens to people who defy our family! Make him regret it!”The old man Len stepped forth, his eyes gleaming. With every breath, his aura seemed to expand to the size of a mountain as he pounced at Philip!Len made his move. He lifted his hand and lashed out a punch that surged toward Philip’s chest like a tsunami!Marcus chortled ruthlessly. To him, Philip was already as good as dead!\Anyone who opposed him was dancing with the devil!He could already imagine how that b*stard would soon be crawling on the ground and begging him for mercy, wailing his eyes out.Blake was secretly pleased as well. He did not know how strong Len truly was, but he knew that
Wynn suddenly remembered the scene she had witnessed at Cirrus Villa back then. Then there was the armed forces Uncle Tim came with, as well as the recent incident at First Palace.It seemed that Philip’s family was not just the owners of a small business group.“You’ll earn enough for both of us, you say?”Philip said with a chuckle, “Don’t worry, honey. If it really can’t work out, just tell me. I think that friend of mine can help.”His wife was pretty darn cute.Wynn nodded. “Alright, I got it. You can leave now.”Philip looked at Wynn’s tall and dignified back. She looked quite helpless right now. He left the office and walked back to the marketing department, his thoughts weighing heavy on his mind.Wynn was a strong independent woman with a great deal of pride. She was not willing to go running to him for help every time.That was why he did not know how long he could keep up this lie.His friend, huh?‘Honey, that friend is none other than your dear old husband.’As
Swoosh!The car door slammed to a close, and it drove away in an instant!When Philip first laid eyes on the black car, he already knew that it was dangerous. However, he was five or six meters away from Wynn at the time!The car also blocked his view, so he had no idea what was happening there!“Philip, save me!”Wynn cried out with all her strength the second before she was pulled into the car!She knew that Philip was the only one who could save her!Philip was the person she trusted the most in the world right now, the man who could give her a sense of security unlike anyone else!Philip’s eyes gleamed. He never expected anyone to commit such a crime like this in the middle of broad daylight!He barely even had time to think. When he saw that car zooming away, he made a run straight at it, sprinting at it like an Olympic runner.However, Philip could not get far before a few motorcycles came crashing right into him!They were totally aiming to kill!They moved at at lea
Philip had not wanted to reveal his identity, but people kept interfering in his personal life lately, so he had no choice but to slowly expose his true self and what he was capable of.This sudden incident in particular opened his eyes to the fact that he was still not prepared at all for this!If Wynn was hurt because of him, Philip would never forgive himself!He was no superman. Right here and now, he could feel that chill crawling through his entire body!That feeling set him off to no end!Philip knew that he was feeling fear. He was terrified!If the assailants got their grubby hands on Wynn in the car, no matter how strong Philip was or how rich his family was, what else could he do to stop them?Philip was furious. He could not forgive himself, and he definitely could not forgive the mastermind behind this!With a loud vroom, several bikes swerved into Philip’s way!Philip’s bike stopped in the middle of the road as he faced off against five men in black uniforms.
