Long before Philip even arrived, all the previous customers who were drinking and dancing had run away, leaving a few bartenders left in the huge bar. Philip glanced at the few figures that just arrived and could not help but sneer. Then, he simply sat on the sofa while resting his head against the cushion, ready to watch a good show. The group of people that rushed here for reinforcements saw Philip sitting on the sofa. Their bad temper from before quickly dispersed as they turned to look at the fat man. That guy saw Ray coming, so he ran over immediately before pointing at Philip and shouting, “Ray, you’re finally here. I was hit by that brat over there. He even hurt many of my boys. Get rid of him quickly!” Ray heard his words and noticed the look in Philip’s eyes. Smack! Before the fat man even finished speaking, Ray went up and slapped him viciously on the face until that man was dizzy! “Boss… Ray, why’d you hit me for? I’m Fat Bill! He hit us…” His face was full o
Philip simply took Chloe to a nearby one-star hotel. He opened the door and put Chloe on the bed, but this woman had thrown up quite a lot along the way. Both she and Philip were dirty all over. Philip looked around, turned his head, and wanted to leave. After all, he could not take care of others. Moreover, there should be a distance between a man and a woman. Even if she was his ex-fiancée, they should not stay in the same room. However, Chloe was obviously drunk and had vomited all over her body. Despite that, he restrained himself. He was not a monk! He could not do that! He put her on the bed and placed the quilt over her. Philip sat on the side of the bed and looked at her for a while, finding that Chloe was really beautiful from this angle! For an inexplicable reason, tears rolled down from the corner of Chloe’s eyes while she was asleep. Philip’s heart suddenly ached when he noticed it. Philip sighed. This lass must be troubled by something. Otherwise, she would
Philip frowned, stared at Chloe, and remained silent for a long time before he said, “No.”Frowning, Chloe turned around and ignored Philip, walking into the villa by herself. He was still pretending at this moment? Very well, then. She would see how long he could carry on the act. Seeing that Chloe had lost her temper, Philip touched his nose in embarrassment before following her. She was the one who asked him to attend the banquet with her, but now she made it seem like he had done something wrong. In the luxurious villa, many long tables were laid out with food and drinks served on top of them. Beautiful waitresses in uniform were walking around while dozens of young men and women were full of smiles and chattering with one another, each holding a wine glass. This was a private banquet, hence the people invited were all well-known rich second-generation entrepreneurs from the East Business District. They were not here simply to eat, drink, and have fun but to talk about
However, he had no other choice. He turned around and said to the young waiter, “Hurry up and apologize.” With tears welling up in his eyes, the young waiter gritted his teeth and said, “Manager, I just looked at her once. Why right does she have to hit me? I won’t apologize!” The woman frowned and said, “Excuse me? Did I allow you to look at me? You’re nothing but a lowly waiter. Who do you think you are? So what if I hit you? You’re poor, dirty, and perverted. No wonder you can only hide in a dark corner and peep! Pah!” The service manager frowned and said coldly to John, “John, hurry up and apologize. Otherwise, I have to let you go. I don’t need an employee like you here.” The young waiter’s eyes turned red immediately. He bit his lip and glared at the coquettish woman viciously. After a long while, he still forced out the sentence, “Madam, I… I’m sorry. I apologize for my behavior just now. I hope you can forgive me.” The woman sneered and mocked, “Forgive you? Why don
A glint of coldness flashed through Philip’s eyes. He narrowed his eyes and said, “Juan Parker, you actually employed such underhanded methods. Is it interesting?” Unexpectedly, Juan was also invited to this private banquet. Juan was startled and instinctively took a half step back, but when he saw so many people in the hall, he felt confident again. He sneered in his heart as he looked at Philip and said, “Stop bullsh*tting in front of me! How dare you molest a woman in front of so many people? I’ll call the police to arrest you! If you have anything to say, tell it to the police! I really didn’t expect this. Wynn is still in the hospital but you’re fooling around here!” Naturally, there were many women in the audience. When they saw how Juan stood up for another woman, they felt delighted. “Mr. Parker’s right. Arrest him! This person is too despicable!” “Where did this hooligan come from? How dare he barge into our private banquet! Security, get rid of him!” Just as eve
Especially in Riverdale, Juan Parker had taken the center spot recently! With three companies under his name, he had strong connections and funds! This was also the reason why Juan was invited to the banquet tonight. The main thing was, they did not expect a woman like Chloe Sommerset to be so intense. Her every word and every slap was so full of severity, and one could not help but admire such a woman! Especially the question that Chloe posed just now, would one rather molest someone else than her... This sentence made many men hot and bothered. It was simply too exciting! Philip looked at Chloe with a broad grin and said, “Miss Sommerset, I didn’t expect you to be so domineering.” Chloe took a sip of wine from her glass and said lightly, “Don’t call me Miss Sommerset in the future.” “Why not?” Philip was taken aback. Suddenly thinking of something, he hurriedly asked, “Did you quarrel with your father?” Chloe gave him an angry look, put down the wine glass, and cros
After hanging up the phone, Philip was full of anger. His uncle was actually detained by the branch family! That damned branch family actually dared to stretch their hands into the main family now! Philip raised his head and looked at the sky with a hardened resolve. Since they refused to listen to warnings, they could not blame him for not considering the familial relations between the main and branch families. Soon after that, Philip contacted Rick and told him to stay in the hospital for a few days. As he was going to return to Arcadia Island, he could not take care of matters in Riverdale. Then, Philip contacted Theo. Theo brought along a few of his men in a Mayback and hurried over before saying respectfully, “Mr. Clarke, what are your orders?” Philip glanced at Theo, unsure if the plan would work. “How many men do you have?” Theo replied, “More than 200 in the main branch and more than 300 in the sub-branches, so about 600 in total.” “600…” Philip frowned, worri
Turning the view to Juan Parker, he was currently filling himself with alcohol in the booth of a dark bar somewhere. He had suffered the utmost humiliation during the banquet that night. He flexed his fists. Penny Schuler, who was kneeling beside him, had been beaten miserably and got her clothes disheveled. She sobbed and said, “Mr. Parker, I’m really sorry…” Juan glared at her vehemently and proceeded to slap her viciously. “Get lost! You b*tch, how dare you betray me?!” Two of Penny’s teeth broke from that slap. She quickly bowed and said, “Thank you for having mercy on me.” After that, she got up and limped away. Juan did not even look at her. He finished a bottle of whiskey gloomily, then made a phone call quietly. After taking care of Wynn in the hospital for a day, Philip was just about to return to the villa to accompany Mila. He looked at the time and saw that it was around nine o'clock in the evening. Before, there were quite a lot of people on this road. Why
At this time, the Claude family’s butler found the residence's doorstep surrounded by people. The butler was horrified and quickly found the patriarch. “Oh no, something bad has happened!” The butler ran into the room in disbelief. The excited Cameron scowled at this sudden intrusion. “What’s bad? Watch your words. Have you forgotten your manners? Don’t speak so loudly in this house!” Cameron had been lost in his excitement, but it was quickly replaced by anger. He wished he could fire the butler on the spot.The butler was scared and felt sorry for himself. “Patriarch! I wasn’t kidding. Something bad has happened!” “People from other families are at the door, including the heads of their families! They keep talking about some storage space and a rabbit, demanding an explanation from us. I don’t know what’s going on!” The butler felt aggrieved because he had no idea what happened. He only knew that a rabbit that could speak human language had turned up in the family. That ra
Philip had that precious tea on hand. Just one mouthful was enough to improve Cameron’s strength. He also had that incredible storage space. What was Philip’s background? How many mysterious treasures did he have? No one dared to think about it. Especially Cameron, who felt that he had found a treasure this time. At first, Cameron bore a grudge against Philip and felt that he had messed things up, but now, he saw Philip as his salvation.… Meanwhile, Sadie had no idea what had happened. Sadie’s husband was dealing with Philip’s issue with Cameron and did not have time to report the situation to his useless wife. She was still thinking about how to deal with Philip. “The rabbit’s storage space must be very valuable. If I spread the news about it, everyone will mess with that rabbit and save me the effort!” Thinking of this, Sadie thought she was very smart and was eager to put the plan into action. After thinking about it, Sadie contacted several families who were on go
“What are you guys doing here? Don’t you have anything better to do?” Rabbit asked bluntly. This arrogant rabbit was even more outspoken after staying with Aslan for so long. The Claude family felt offended. “My child, do you have a storage space? How did you get it? Can you tell me more?” Cameron ignored Rabbit but asked Ronan excitedly, eager to find out the situation. Ronan nodded calmly. “It’s just a storage space. Stop kicking up a fuss over it. My space is not very big, just enough to contain this house at most. It’s not a big deal,” he said pretentiously. Hearing that, Philip silently gave him a thumbs-up. He did not forget Ronan’s exaggerated expression when he first saw the size of the storage space. Surprisingly, Ronan got into the role so quickly. Philip thought he was a good actor. Ronan's casual remarks nearly caused everyone a mental breakdown. They were shocked as if they heard something incredible. “What? Is the space that big?” Cameron coughed violently.
“You can form a bond with the ring. Once that’s done, no one can take it away from you. It’ll belong to you forever.” Philip’s explanation reassured Ronan, and he finally accepted the gift from Philip with confidence. Although Ronan was strong, he was not arrogant to the point of being ignorant. If someone could take it from him, he would rather not have it. Although it was gratifying to own one, it would be painful to lose it after having it. With Philip’s affirmation, Ronan fidgeted with the ring happily and wanted to express his gratitude. Philip simply waved his hand without dwelling on it. “That’s enough. Go explore the storage space on your own. I believe it’ll help you greatly. “Since they’re so interested in Rabbit's storage space, you should show it off to them. I believe they’ll immediately hold you in high regard and maybe they’ll deal with those arrogant guys in the family.” Philip was excited at this mean trick and laughed when he thought of those people’s ugly
“This tea is amazing. I feel different with just one cup.” Cameron picked up the teapot to pour himself another cup of tea but it was empty. “Is that all you have?” Cameron smacked the table angrily. He was very annoyed and believed that they had stolen his tea. The man in the lead told Cameron his discovery. “We wanted to get rid of Philip, but we found this pot of tea in his room. We were very curious, so we took a sip, and the amazing effects surprised us! “We wanted to test it for poison, but we quickly brought it to you after discovering the powerful effects!” His explanation was so sound that no one could find any flaws. “The tea is good, but it's a pity that there’s only one sip. I wonder if Philip has the tea leaves.” Cameron’s mind raced. He was eager to have more of it. “We tied Philip up. Should we search his body?” They were eager to deal with Philip. Everyone yearned for that amazing tea. Cameron shook his head. He did not think that Philip would carry it
“This tea is simply amazing. I’m surprised that Philip is lucky enough to find this treasure!” “By the way, why is Philip alone? Where's that rabbit?” Everyone looked around but saw no signs of the rabbit and had to give up. In the end, only a mouthful of tea was left in the pot. After much deliberation, they decided to give it to the patriarch. After all, it was a rare treasure! They quickly tied Philip up. Once Philip lost his freedom, they had nothing to worry about. They wanted to take credit for their finding and let the family know about this rare treasure.… Meanwhile, Cameron was in his room, thinking about how to carry out the competition. He had just finished talking with Ronan and was in a good mood. He was surprised by Ronan’s attitude. Ronan did not hold a grudge against them and desperately wanted to join their family, which was simply too good to be true. More importantly, Ronan was strong enough to win the competition for them. Cameron did not care whet
At this moment, Philip noticed something unusual and realized that someone had sneaked into his yard. He was amused that someone dared to mess with him. “Surround this area while I poison him. After he’s dead, don’t forget to bring the rabbit along with us. It’s best if we can figure out the rabbit’s secret. If not, just silence the rabbit too!” The person taking the lead explained the plan. He was none other than Sadie’s husband. For the sake of his position in the family and his son, he had to take the risk. Philip was enjoying his premium spiritual tea, and that fragrance could not be concealed at all. Very soon, the intruders smelled the fragrance and followed their noses to find the source. “Do you smell something fragrant? I feel that my strength has improved after a whiff of this smell!” “I feel refreshed with just one whiff as if my ailment has been relieved. That ailment has been bothering me for years. This is amazing!” Everyone was excited as they tracked the s
Cameron never thought that he would lose to a rabbit in an argument. After a brief silence, he finally decided to ignore the matter for the time being. Since the treasures were in Rabbit’s hands, he had to talk to Ronan about the competition. “Ronan, come with me. I want to tell you about the competition. Your friend can stay. We’ll treat him with the utmost courtesy!” Cameron invited Ronan kindly while signaling to everyone. As long as Ronan was not around, they could attack and even kill Philip on the spot. Philip would be useless once they figured out Rabbit’s secret. If Ronan asked, they could say that Philip decided to leave. Anyway, they had all sorts of excuses to take care of this. Ronan glanced at Philip and walked to the conference hall. Ronan knew that he had to deal with these people himself. Philip was only here to give him courage. Philip gave him a reassuring look and returned to the house. He was interested in the competition, so he wanted to figure out
“Are you talking about this rabbit? He’s not my pet. He belongs to my friend.” Ronan shrugged. He wanted such a pet, but he was not good enough. Hearing that, Cameron's face turned pale. Although the rabbit was an additional benefit, he never thought that he would fail to get it. Cameron glared at Philip. He did not have a good impression of Philip. Philip looked like a troublemaker. He suspected that Philip had influenced Ronan into making things difficult for them. Cameron wanted to drive Philip away, but Ronan abruptly said that this matter was related to Philip. Before he could weigh the pros and cons, Cameron decided to hide his emotions. At least, he could not reveal his dislike for Philip. “I see. Your friend seems like a casual practitioner. Why don't he consider joining our family? For your sake, I can give him the same treatment and allow the two of you to take part in the competition as representatives of the family. I believe you’ll do your best and won’t let me
