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
A bunch of ignorant fools! ‘I, Philip Clarke, have nothing but money!’ “No? Don’t think I don’t know your current situation. Juan told me that your family’s bankrupt! You’re a pauper now, and who knows if you’re in debt too!” Martha roared, her voice resounding throughout the living room. Amelia and her family stared blankly, puzzled at the news. Bankrupt? Debt? Philip raised his brows, his eyes cold and stern. Juan could really resort to just about any method. Regardless. “You’ll find out in a minute,” Philip said mildly without further explanation. Everyone looked at each other in bafflement. “Fine, I want to see what tricks you have up your sleeve,” Amelia said disdainfully. What could a wastrel like him do? About ten minutes later, Philip received a text message from George and said to everyone, “Let’s go.” “Go where?” Martha’s face was somber. She had no idea what Philip was up to. “Don’t you want to know who that Rolls-Royce belongs to?” Philip ask
What the hell was going on here? The richest man in Riverdale was actually standing respectfully in front of Philip and even called him Mr. Clarke! This completely toppled their inherent impression of Philip! Martha was still fine since she already knew that there was something unusual about Philip. However, she was still surprised at this scene! As for Amelia and the others, they were so shocked that their jaws dropped. With their eyes widened, they could not speak for a while! They could still recall vividly their sarcasm and irony toward Philip just now. At this moment, they were flustered. Over there, Philip’s gaze swept over them coldly as he said, “Carry on your discussion. How do you plan to handle this car? Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, or Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays?” Like a basin of cold water, his words splashed on them and extinguished their interest instantly. Amelia was still a little unconvinced and muttered, “What the heck… The car
After bustling around for a long time, Amelia then brought Bernard down from the second floor. They ate fruits in the living room and watched the super large LCD TV. Lynn had also tidied up and was sitting in the living room while playing with her phone. After taking pictures of the villa, she received many likes on her social media. At this time, Martha just came back. She had stepped out to answer a call just now. Her mood was noticeably better. “How is it? Are you done packing?” Martha asked. Amelia quickly pulled Martha to sit down, saying, “Sister-in-law, I really have to thank you so much this time. Otherwise, we’d have no place to live. Also, Bernard and I have a request. You must agree to it.” With that, Amelia went down on her knees. Martha got a fright and hurried to pull her up, but Amelia was fiercely determined as she said, “Sister-in-law, don’t try to pull me. I’ll only get up if you agree to our request.” Martha quickly responded, “Okay, fine. Get up firs
Martha was terrified. She could not lose the villa. It was her life. “Philip, what are you doing?” Martha asked in a panic although she had already guessed the answer. On the sidelines, Bernard and Amelia also pointed at Philip sharply and cursed, “Martha, just look at this wastrel. He’s actually treating us like this. Is he in charge of this family?” These words annoyed Martha. As such an overbearing person, how could she accept it when others thought Philip was the head of the family instead? Martha simply sat on the ground, beat her chest, and cried out, “I was really blind to have allowed Wynnie to marry you. You’re nothing but an unscrupulous turncoat who ate and lived in my house for the past three years. Now, you even want to kick your mother-in-law out of the house. Where’s the justice in this?” Martha kicked up a big fuss, and her voice was loud, irritating the ears of those who heard her. The security guards who rushed in also exchanged glances with each other, at
The manager took one look at them before he went to deal with it. It was done in just a moment. Martha’s name was no longer on the certificate. In other words, from now on, First Palace had nothing to do with Martha Yates! Martha was completely dumbfounded. Everything was gone. It was retribution. “You son of a b*tch! You actually did this to me! I’m your mother-in-law. Are you trying to drive me to my death?! No way, you must add in my name again. This is my villa! My daughter bought it. This kept man deceived my daughter!” Martha went berserk and kicked up a big fuss in the sales department. She sat on the ground as she wailed and sobbed, unconcerned about her image at all. Philip just stared at Martha coldly and said, “Have you forgotten what Wynn said? I bought this villa myself!” With that said, Philip left the office. Martha continued her rant for a while longer before she ran back in disarray. It was already done, so she could only try to restore it. How
Mila was not afraid of strangers and greeted Levi. Levi also showed a gentle side and played with her. Martha glanced at them a couple of times before glaring at Mila, then turned to Anne and said coldly, “Bring her upstairs.” Anne knew that Martha disliked Mila, so she quickly carried her upstairs. “Uncle, can I play with you again later?” Mila’s teeth twinkled as she waved her little arms toward Levi. Levi smiled with a wink, made a gesture with his hands, and said, “Sure.” “Levi, are you married?” Martha suddenly asked with a broad grin as if she was his mother. “Oh, not yet,” Levi responded with a smile. The two burly bodyguards behind him stood not too far away. Martha was ecstatic at his reply. He was not married. That was great news. Martha began to make plans. It was impossible to get Philip and Wynn to divorce, but Lynn was still available. They were members of the Johnston family. If they got together, she could still benefit from it. While she was t
Jamie was surprised by Philip’s easygoing reaction and immediately felt the gap between him and Philip. If Jamie were in Philip’s shoes, he would be worried, but Philip was confident instead. Jamie had a lot to learn from Philip. Jamie had no idea that Philip did not take Dennis seriously at all. Philip had too many capable people under his command. He was not concerned about Dennis at all. In comparison, Dennis could be considered the most useless person under him.… On the other hand, Rabbit arrived at the market. Rabbit was quite famous among the major families by now. As a non-human with a violent temper, he was in the center of attraction wherever he went. Someone tried to kidnap Rabbit once, but not only did he fail, but the person was also beaten badly. To this day, the kidnapper was still bedridden in the hospital. Rabbit’s notorious reputation had spread far and wide, and not just anyone could deal with him. At this time, many storytellers were at the tavern tal
People in seclusion would usually not receive any news from the outside world, so contacting them would be up to luck. Therefore, Lincoln's appearance was good news for the Hexa Guild. Now that the guild was under scrutiny, Lincoln's appearance would save them a lot of trouble. Lincoln stood on the spot, looking at the yard curiously. Philip had modified the yard, so it was full of energy. Any practitioner would feel the difference at once. Jamie and the others had discovered this fact but never asked out of courtesy. Everyone had their own secret. Maybe this was Philip’s secret. Lincoln closed his eyes and felt the abundant energy. He was reluctant to leave this place that contained tens of thousands of times more energy than the place he had chosen for his seclusion. Lincoln felt conflicted. He could practice much faster in this place if the energy level remained the same. Thinking of this, he could hardly contain his excitement to practice on the spot. Seeing Jamie nex
Lincoln had never met a monster beast with intelligence! After taking a closer look at Rabbit, Lincoln had other ideas. Philip was most likely a powerful person with extraordinary strength to have such a powerful monster beast as his pet. Dennis was not a fool. Philip had to be powerful and not a coward for Dennis to willingly follow him. Thinking of this, Lincoln showed Rabbit enough respect. “Mr. Rabbit, I’m looking for Dennis from the Hexa Guild.” The guild members behind him were full of disbelief at his courtesy. They had served him for a while and knew his character very well. Lincoln would never be so polite to ordinary juniors, so this rabbit had to be unusual. Thinking of this, their attitude toward Rabbit changed from disdain to admiration. Rabbit was shocked by their eccentric behavior and looked at them skeptically. Seeing their smiling faces, Rabbit decided not to make things difficult for them. Besides, they were polite. “Oh, you’re looking for Dennis. Come
This guild member could not forget how Hogster had always stolen his resources by force. Hogster’s ugly face made him sick. Although Lincoln was back, he had lost all confidence in the guild. He just wanted to return to Dennis' side as soon as possible. Although he was a member under the guild leader, Dennis was the one who had been helping him all along. In fact, if not for Dennis’ support over the years, even Alain would not have achieved what he had today. Hence, this guild member had always been grateful to Dennis. When Dennis left, he wanted to leave with him, but due to special circumstances, he stayed until now. Unexpectedly, it came in handy. Alain was excited to hear that. In Alain's opinion, such a lowly member would not dare to lie to him, so he had to be telling the truth. He knew that this was his chance to settle everything once and for all. Alain had been worried that Lincoln would blame him, but Lincoln was deceived instead, which was great. He had nothing t
Lincoln had a very good reputation, so the guild members dropped their guard and started to complain about everything. “Grandmaster, we've been having a hard time. Hogster always deducts our practice resources and gives them to the women he likes. It’s infuriating. We don’t even have that many resources to begin with,” a member said miserably. He had good talent, but Hogster did not give him any good resources, so his level remained stagnant. All his resources had been given to the women who had caught Hogster’s fancy. Lincoln scowled upon hearing this. How could Hogster take other people’s resources? He would not allow this to happen. “They also tried every means to arrange a political marriage with the Celestial Palace, but the agreement fell through, and they badmouthed the other party for it!” “They defamed the young lady of the guild, and now, they're furious at us. Their wrath is not a joke. Moreover, someone solved the side effects of their practice technique, but we'v
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
