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
The two of them left the hospital and drove for half an hour before they came to a quiet alley. In the city of Riverdale today, such an alley was no longer found. At the end of this alley, there was an attic of an ancient building. The first and second floors were built with the design of tropical gardens. The car stopped at the door and Philip looked at the building carefully. He rarely came to such a place and found it quite unusual. “This small building must be worth at least hundreds of millions, right?” Philip was puzzled. “Why’d you bring me here?” Wynn straightened her clothes and hair, smiled, and said, “It belongs to my best friend. She’s a stylist and just returned from abroad. Her skills are very good and people usually have to make an appointment with her. I brought you here today to get some styling done.” Best friend? He thought her best friends were those few he had already met. “Me?” Philip looked at his clothes. Uh, they were really old fashioned. Wyn
Rachel smiled and blinked her beguiling eyes that revealed a trace of sexiness as she said, “Of course.” Philip chuckled. “Haha, you think too much. I’m not one. I’m just my wife’s knight in shining armor.” After saying that, he looked at Wynn and asked cheekily, “Am I right?” Wynn blushed at his question. Her husband was too much, showing such affection in front of outsiders. Rachel smiled faintly and did not continue this topic but led Wynn and Philip into the building. The decoration of this studio was very classic. Although there were not many customers, those occupied were doing styling seriously. Moreover, the identities of the guests seemed quite unusual. There were even some popular young celebrities there. When Rachel passed each room, she would greet the people inside with smiles and chatter. Rachel took the two of them to a luxurious single room on the second floor. Obviously, this was an exclusive studio designed for Rachel's private styling, and it seemed t
Steady! He could not cheat on Wynn! The next step was the overall look. Rachel Clarke was indeed a top stylist. Within half an hour, she had created an entirely new look for Philip. His aura and demeanor were totally different from before. Now, he looked exactly like the Prince Charming who came out of the fairy tale world—Grand and fashionable! Philip’s appearance was actually not too bad. It was just that he had never paid any attention to it before. “Tsk, tsk, Wynnie’s taste is excellent as ever. A diamond waiting to be polished, very handsome.” Rachel stood behind Philip and scrutinized her handiwork. She found Philip’s temperament quite unique. “Thanks for your compliment. Handsome is my middle name.” “Okay, that’s enough of your sweet talk. Come with me to the dressing room and I’ll help you choose some decent clothes.” Rachel patted Philip’s shoulder and headed toward the dressing room. Philip followed behind her, eyes fixed on her figure. There were ripples al
“You’ve misunderstood,” Philip grinned broadly and said, “I wasn’t joking.” Following that, Philip took a step forward. The dressing room was not too big in the first place, so Philip could almost press his body against Rachel! “Did you think I was joking with you?” Rachel raised her eyebrows and frowned slightly. She had clearly sensed a hint of threat from Philip! Especially those clear eyes with a hint of coldness in them! Could it be that he found something? Philip did not respond, so Rachel remained quiet too. Nevertheless, the atmosphere in the fitting room had long since become ambiguous and even Rachel’s breathing turned rapid, which meant there was something suspicious about her! At her silence, Philip pressed closer! The latter’s body tightened at this time, making her breathing more rapid. Her expression also turned unpleasant. She said, “Anyone can enter here at any time. I’m warning you, don’t do anything!” Philip stared coldly at the panicked woman in fr
Philip smiled and made a grasping motion in the air with one hand, making his opponent cower back in fright!Rachel’s breathing became rapid for fear that this scoundrel would make unruly moves!“Why, are you afraid?” Philip did not make any further moves. It was just a ploy. He said, “You should’ve prepared for the consequences when you tried to test me. A lone man and woman in the same room… Are you really not worried that I’d do something to you? Your body is invaluable in the eyes of men, but you still did it, which means you have an inexplicable reason to do so. “I guess there are no more than two reasons. First, I have something valuable to you. Second, you’re entrusted by others, or there’s someone behind the scenes controlling you, right?” Rachel trembled all over, her breathing became faster as a look of horror appeared in her eyes! Obviously, Philip had guessed one of them correctly! For this reason, Philip did not bother hiding anything but merely said with a playf
“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
At this time, Rabbit hopped to Philip's side. “Philip, I was out for a walk yesterday and heard some rumors. They’ll be holding a competition among the humans soon, and all major families and forces will send some contestants for the fight. “Either a family or a force that is in charge of an area can join the competition. I heard that the Claude family is taking part.” Hearing this, and combined with their reaction, Philip guessed something. They probably wanted to trick Ronan into participating in the competition, which was why they were approaching him so enthusiastically. “There’s more.” Rabbit smiled and leaned forward, clearly asking for a beating. Philip saw Rabbit’s reaction and hit his face. “Just spit it out. Stop messing around!” Rabbit chuckled and said, “I heard that the Claude family is negotiating a business deal, and the prerequisite is that Ronan must participate in the competition and win first place. Although I don't know why, that’s the only condition the
Everyone was dumbfounded. No one thought that Ronan would take action without paying any heed to them. Cameron panicked and ordered his men to stop Ronan, “Guards, take action! You have to stop Ronan!” His face turned pale, and he wished that the guards could kill Ronan. However, he suddenly remembered the deal between the businessman and himself. “Wait, don’t kill him. I want him alive. I need him for something important!” Cameron shouted nervously as if he was sure that his guards would defeat Ronan. Other than the guards, other family members also stepped forward. They wanted to show off their strength. Seeing this, Philip waved to Ronan. He would take action if required. Ronan waved his hand indifferently in response. He did not need Philip’s help for now. He was strong enough to take care of it. At this time, Rabbit appeared drowsily. Rabbit led a carefree life, and Philip always let him be, so he was an idle rabbit. After Cameron and the others saw Rabbit, their e
Ronan became more confident after the chat with Philip. If anyone dared to mess with him, he would not hesitate to teach them a good lesson. Cameron looked around but did not see Rabbit. He was worried but went straight to the point. “My child, after all these years, have you finally decided to return to the family?” Cameron smiled as he attempted the emotional approach as if Ronan had lived outside over the years because of his own decision. Hearing that, Ronan coughed and nearly threw up. Cameron was really good at blaming him. “What do you mean? Did I ask you to kick me out of the house?” Ronan's eyes flashed with anger. As a weak and powerless child back then, he was kicked out of the house right after his mother’s death. That feeling was really humiliating. All his grievances over the years exploded at this point. He could not tolerate these hypocritical people anymore. Cameron noticed Ronan’s reaction and knew that it was bad. This matter was out of his control. Ronan
“Since you've accepted my things, you should…” Cameron rubbed his hands excitedly, looking at Rabbit smugly and expectantly. His men looked at Rabbit in delight. It would be great if they could get storage space. Rabbit shook his head in disdain. “What are you thinking? Do you think you’re worthy of me? You don’t even have a measly storage space. Who are you to bargain with me?” Rabbit kicked the nearest person away. “Don’t bother me again or that’ll be your outcome!” He hopped back into the house. He was not afraid that they would mess with him. Cameron was shocked that Rabbit would go back on his word after taking their things. He was furious. Those were the treasures of the family. It would be a disaster if they lost them. However, it was clearly not the right time to dwell on it. Cameron decided to talk to Rabbit again tomorrow. He had to talk to Ronan anyway. It would be best if he could fool them. “Let’s get some rest for the night and talk about it tomorrow morning
Cameron persuaded Rabbit excitedly. In his opinion, he was halfway to success. Rabbit nodded. “Give me what you have for now. At least show me your sincerity. You should know that the guy inside offered me a high price!” Rabbit fooled Cameron. He wanted to know what Cameron could come up with. Just crystals alone would be a letdown. Hearing that, Cameron waved to his men, signaling them to take out all the good things from the warehouse, at least to fool Rabbit for the time being. His men reluctantly went to the warehouse and took out all the treasures they had collected. Anyway, it was just for show and would not really be given to the rabbit, so they did not object. It would be a great deal if these treasures could attract a guardian beast. Rabbit nodded with satisfaction at these things. He waved his hand, and everything vanished from those people’s hands. Everyone was shocked and wondered what was going on. There was no such thing as storage space in this world. They ha
