Jaden really enjoyed the changes in Cynthia at this moment. He allowed her to grab his arm before he suddenly pulled away and said nonchalantly, “Eh? Didn’t you just say I’m not welcomed here?” Cynthia wiped her tears and stabilized her emotions, but her trembling lips still betrayed her excitement at the moment. She asked, “What do you want?” Laughing, he turned his head and gestured to his companion before turning back to say, “My good sister indeed. I’ll say it directly then. I want you to leave the Larson family and sever all ties with them! Give me your share of the property as well!” Jaden was very upset because he accidentally learned that Cynthia still had her share of the family property. Moreover, his grandfather was actually secretly helping Cynthia and seemed to be preparing for the cooperation with Beacon. Was this an arrangement so that Cynthia could officially return to the fourth branch family and compete with him for the family property? Boom! Cynthia’s f
Philip approached Jaden in a few steps and observed him solemnly. He said, “She’s your sister, after all. Is it really appropriate for you to treat her this way?” At this time, the woman in the black tank top glanced at Philip disdainfully and said very arrogantly, “Who are you, little squirt? Our Jaden here has no time for you. Go play in the corner and mind your own business!” Jaden furrowed his brows. He had already noticed this man next to Cynthia earlier on. Her boyfriend? No, it did not look like it. Philip glared at the woman next to Jaden solemnly and said, “I’m talking to him. Who the hell are you?” “You! Watch your language!” When the woman heard Philip talking to her rudely, she naturally could not accept it. “Do I need you to teach me how to talk? As if you’re any better.” Having said that, Philip did not intend to continue chatting with them. He turned to Jaden and said with a cold expression in his eyes, “I finally understand. You’re here to find fault
The woman was not a match for Philip. After being dragged around by her hair and suffering two slaps, she immediately went dizzy! She kept struggling and shouting, waving her arms around like a dog digging for bones while trying to scratch Philip’s arms. Nevertheless, Philip just smacked her arms away lightly, then pulled her hair vigorously and continued to drag her around like a dog! Philip’s actions were crude. He was not holding back just because she was a woman and was brutal to the extreme! Under such overwhelming pressure, the woman could not escape at all. She held the roots of her hair with both hands, bent her back, and stepped on her high heels as she staggered to follow Philip around. She felt that her hair was almost being torn from the scalp! “Ah! Let go of me!” However, toward such a persistent and ignorant woman, Philip was impassive! He just continued to pull the woman’s hair like that and dragged her around! After walking a few laps on the second floor
The woman who got beaten held her head, her entire face red and swollen. She staggered to stand up on her high heels. She could barely hear what Philip was saying. “Let’s go!” Jaden glared at Philip vehemently before turning to Cynthia, threatening, “Cynthia, you’d better think it over carefully. I’ll give you three days. If you want to know your mother’s whereabouts, come and look for me!” “Get lost now!” Philip frowned and looked as if he was going to kick him again. Jaden stepped back in fright and almost fell. He gave Philip a sullen look, pointed his finger at the latter, and threatened, “You… Just you wait!” After that, he quickly left with his people. Watching as the group of people left the bar, Cynthia was relieved and said to Philip, “Thank you.” Of course, Cynthia knew that Jaden had deliberately come to find fault with her. If Philip had not stepped in, she really would not have known how to deal with Jaden. Three days… She needed to consider it carefully!
Philip asked himself, his brows furrowing as a cold sweat formed on his body. If nothing had happened to his sister back then, she would be 20 by now. That incident was a big blow to Philip. Everyone said that his sister was dead, but to this day, her corpse had not been found! Philip had never given up on searching for her, but he found nothing. Gradually, he had to admit that his sister was gone. However, the illusion just now had ignited the broken hope in his heart again! Philip took this matter to heart and hurriedly left the bar. After finding Rick, he resumed the investigation of his sister. He had a hunch that his sister was still alive. Rick was perplexed. This matter was already concluded, so were they carrying out the investigation again? Despite that, he could not disobey the young master’s wish. After a few days of disappearance, Philip met George in a café again, and the latter had aged considerably. He still spoke in that respectful tone. “Young Mas
“That car is here to send me home,” Philip said honestly. There was no need to conceal it. After all, everyone saw it, so there was no point in hiding it. It was the right timing too. In this case, maybe these people would be more respectful toward him. The look in Lynn’s and her parents’ eyes changed visibly at his words. Philip, this brat, was actually being picked up by a luxurious car like the Rolls-Royce? Who exactly was this guy? “Philip, you’re not lying to me, right? That car sent you home?” Lynn was excited. She hooked Philip’s arm with joy and elation on her face. Was her cousin-in-law really so awesome? Philip nodded without further explanation before asking, “Why are you here?” This time, Lynn and her parents looked at Philip in a flattering manner. This guy was now living in a villa and enjoying Rolls-Royce pick-up services. Was Wynn really so kind to him? Was Beacon making that much money? Of course, Beacon was now the hottest big company in the city
Amelia hit him playfully and teased, saying, “Silly you. You’re Charles’ brother. Do you think they can chase you away? If they really do, we’ll just kick up a big fuss and let the entire neighborhood know. In the end, they’ll lose their dignity. So, how about it?” Bernard hesitated. However, when he glanced at the villa again, he said with determination, “Okay, you talk to Martha and I’ll talk to my brother.” The two reached an agreement and rushed into the living room. Coincidentally, Martha came out of the bedroom at this time all dressed up fashionably like a lady. She smiled as she said, “Oh, it’s Amelia and Bernard. You’re here already? Come here and have a seat. Leave your things there. I’ll get the nanny to handle it.” Amelia knew that Martha was a very prideful person, so she quickly paid compliments, “Sister Martha, you have a nanny too? I’m so envious.” Martha was very happy when she heard those words. She sat on the sofa in a little cloak and put on a pretentious
This group of people were dumbfounded and looked at Philip in a daze with a myriad of expressions on their faces. What did this brat say? Did he tell them to get lost? “Hahaha, I laughed so hard. Sister Martha, what does your son-in-law mean? He wants to kick us all out.” Amelia mocked, saying, “Martha, didn’t you say this villa belongs to you? How can he chase us out like this?” She was fanning the flames. What Martha could not tolerate the most was being looked down upon by her family, especially in front of this third branch. She was used to acting all high and mighty and had always been superior in front of the third branch. Now that Philip was speaking to her in this manner, how could she endure it? “Philip, I dare you to repeat what you just said!” Martha was angry as she pointed at Philip’s nose and scolded him. Did Philip not realize that he needed to show her some respect? She was his mother-in-law, after all. If he did not show her some respect, how coul
“Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for attending the lark family’s grand ceremony of the century,” a man announced in the middle of the square, and the bride stood next to him with a happy smile on her face. If Adam was present, he would definitely recognize the bride as the woman he had been dreaming of over the years, Ashley Bay. A handsome man stood next to the bride. His every move was imposing and domineering. They looked like the perfect match. Everyone looked at this scene and blessed them happily. “After a series of careful selection, I finally found the most suitable husband for my daughter. This is an important event for the lark people!” The lark people had a high status, and everyone wanted to marry into this family. After many selections, the bridegroom finally won the bride’s hand in marriage. Over the years, countless men had flocked around Ashley. After observations from all aspects, this man fit all the criteria—so much so that Adam had long been forgotten.
“This boot records various information about the lark people that may be very important to you. I believe you’ll understand after reading it.” After saying this, Renee handed the boot to Adam. She was not a fool. She knew that Philip was not the person initiating the search. Although Adam always remained calm, he could not hide his eagerness at all. Adam looked at Renee gratefully and took the book and started reading it without further ado. The more he read, the more shocked he felt. In the end, he was full of disbelief as if he could not believe what he saw. “Is this for real?” Adam finished reading the boot quickly and handed it to Philip and Carlos. The other two flipped through the book curiously. Philip scowled. He could not tell whether the information was true or false. “Is it true that the lark people have such an ability? It's recorded in the book that they can create a world. That’s simply…” Carlos was puzzled. Only a very powerful being could create a world. Was
“Please tell me how to find them. I want to find out what’s going on, even if it's just to convince myself to give up.” Adam decided that he still wanted to find the other party. No matter what, he had to get to the bottom of it. If everything was a lost cause, he would give up. Hearing that, Renee seemed conflicted as if deciding whether to tell them everything. “It doesn’t do me any good to tell you this. Why should I take the risk for no reason? I do business. You need to pay a price for it,” Renee said with a smile. Philip laughed. The words sounded very familiar to him as if he said them before. He used to say such things when he was doing business just to bluff some dumb customers. “Of course, I know you do business. If you’re willing to tell us something, we can offer you something in return, whether money or other resources,” Philip said with calm confidence. No matter what the other party wanted, he could easily provide it. Renee smiled at Philip’s words. “It's
The woman seemed amused by Philip’s request. “I know what you’re worried about. Don’t worry, I’m not a liar. Although my actions don’t seem aboveboard to you, I’m not a bad person.” The woman did not hide anything. She knew that Philip had seen through the secret of her singing. As the only man who discovered her secret, she admired Philip very much. She once vowed that she would marry the man who could resist the temptation of her singing. “By the way, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Renee, and I'm an employee of Moon Tavern. My job is very simple, that is to bring in more profits to the tavern.” Renee seemed very sincere and told them everything about herself. “However, my method isn’t very aboveboard. You already know that I make profits by using my singing to attract customers.” Renee mentioned her secret frankly, and Philip was surprised by her honesty. “As for the secret between me and the lark people, I can tell you that they hate me so much because some
Seeing everyone’s reaction, Philip was all the more interested in this mysterious existence. He wanted to find out who they were to act so arrogantly. Obviously, the lark people were stronger than anyone could imagine. Ordinary people were afraid of this family no matter how powerful they were. Maybe the storyteller felt uncomfortable at the mention of this family, but he quickly left after a while. Philip and the others were disappointed that they could not find out the news they wanted. When they thought that they had to return in defeat, a woman appeared and looked at them calmly. The woman was wearing a veil on her face, making it impossible to see her appearance. The veil was quite an extraordinary item that could block various detections. However, Philip recognized her at a glance. She was the woman singing on the stage just now. She actually approached them. Things were getting more and more interesting. “What you want to know is taboo. Come with me if you want to fi
Meanwhile, backstage at Moon Tavern, the waiter was telling the woman singing on stage earlier about what had happened in the private room. The woman was full of disbelief, thinking the waiter was lying. “Don’t try to bluff me. How could anyone resist my attack?” The woman wore a veil on her face and looked very mysterious. Only the woman knew how disgusting she looked when she was not performing or casting spells. Covering her face was the best choice. The waiter told her what happened and described the state Philip and the others were in earlier. Although two people were affected, it was a problem because one person had remained conscious.They would face a lot of problems if other people discovered their tricks. The woman's tricks were extraordinary. Even a powerful person with superb strength would find it difficult to get rid of her attack. These so-called strong experts would only end up falling for her trick. At this time, the storyteller went on stage, and he was t
Philip nodded. “Do I have to order something else?” A hint of realization flashed in Philip’s eyes. He realized what was going on. The woman had the ability to bewitch the customers by affecting their thinking and emotions through singing and inducing them into spending money. She exuded a special charm to attract the customers even though she looked ordinary. In their minds, she was an unattainable goddess. Everyone saw a different woman in their minds but charming nonetheless, tempting them to spend money on her even though it would cost them all their fortune. However, Philip was different. He could control his emotions very well, so this woman had almost no influence on him. He realized this problem when he first heard that mysterious song. The waiter scowled and finally left the private room in horror after much deliberation. Philip did not say anything at his hasty departure. The woman quickly left the stage after playing her zither, and the bewitched customers
“Something is wrong. I find that woman a little weird.” Hearing that, they were curious to find out how Philip concluded that. “Although she’s not that good-looking, I don’t think she’s weird. What do you think is wrong with her?” Carlos said in puzzlement, wondering why Philip felt that this woman was weird. “The woman seems to have a fatal attraction to the male customers. It’s a scary ability to make these men flock to her.” It was weird that a woman with average looks could attract so many men. No one would believe that she had a strong appeal. “Welcome to Moon Tavern. I’ll be singing a song for you today. I hope you like it.” The woman's delicate voice rang, and everyone felt relaxed and happy. Even Philip felt that this voice was very charming, like the sound of nature ringing in his ears. However, Philip was not a fool. He keenly sensed something wrong with the situation. Nothing would be charming enough to attract him. For it to happen meant that something was wro
“Give us three pots of tea. We don’t need anything else. Thank you.” Philip did not order anything else. In his opinion, he was just here to find information, so his money should be spent on things that mattered the most. The waiter rolled his eyes at the order and seemed to look down on Philip. “Customers, are you sure you only want a few pots of tea? We have many snacks too,” the waiter said in disdain. Carlos was more concerned about his image, so he was shocked by the waiter’s obvious disdain. “Yes, we only need a pot of tea each. We want to have a taste first.” Adam's attitude was much better, speaking with a friendly smile on his face. Even if the waiter was angry, he could do nothing about it. The waiter left cursing under his breath. He thought that they were big customers, but they did not even give him a tip. Philip glanced at the waiter helplessly. Even waiters were so arrogant nowadays. Philip and the others were quickly served three pots of tea. The pots
