Philip lifted his leg and kicked Francis' abdomen fiercely! Simple yet brutal, completely beyond everyone's expectations! Philip’s kick was not light and Francis flew four or five meters upside down like a kite with a broken string! In an instant, Francis knelt on the ground while clutching his violently twitching abdomen. He was retching out acid water and all the red wine he just drank! It almost looked like he was vomiting blood! It was a very dramatic scene that seemed to have happened once before! Those who attended the party were all high-ranking officials and were completely stunned. That was the second son of the Hane family. He came to Riverdale to inspect the project on behalf of the Hane family. It was an investment worth hundreds of millions at every juncture, but this Philip Clarke actually kicked him because of a minor disagreement! It was extremely crude! Moreover, the most important thing was that Philip had already beaten Kenneth last time. This time,
Francis’ face was ugly through and through. He seemed to be at a loss about how to deal with the situation. He just wanted to test the waters in advance but was now stuck between a rock and a hard place.If Francis chose to retaliate on the spot, he would be criticized by other families in Capital City. On the other hand, if he did not retaliate, the dignity of the Hane family would thoroughly be reduced to rubbish in Riverdale! Francis had his pride, but he was now facing Philip who did not play by the books! “Very well! You’re the first person to challenge the Hane family! You’ll pay for your words and actions in this incident and the last! The Hane family isn’t a small family that can easily be bullied! Philip Clarke, just you wait. After tonight, Riverdale will have no place for you!” Francis said fiercely, his eyes glittering! “Very well, I’ll wait.” Standing in front of Francis, a hint of chill could be heard in his tone. “Before that, however, I want to collect some i
Trillions of assets? Was that a joke? Wynn’s eyes widened. She looked at Philip suspiciously, stretched out her hand to touch his forehead, and chuckled lightly. “Phil, you don’t seem to be running a fever.” Philip smiled faintly, hugged Wynn’s little waist, and said, “It’s nothing. I’m just teasing.” Wynn did not say anything else but went to greet the other directors. Cynthia watched as Philip and Wynn whispered sweet nothings. She stomped her foot and left the venue. She had to find out Francis’ condition and wipe Philip’s *ss! After all, the Larson family was finding ways to cooperate with Beacon. If something happened to Philip, the cooperation would be over. It was just a minor incident, but the aftermath was quietly brewing. Half an hour later, the atmosphere of the whole reception gradually relaxed, and the guests attending the banquet began to interact. After all, the episode that happened just now had nothing to do with them. It was Beacon Group’s disgrace.
She quickly took out her phone and found Vivi’s social account, then chose a photo before handing it to Philip. “There, that’s her. You really don’t know her?” At this moment, Wynn thought that Philip was a strange person. He did not even know Vivi Joo. Was he still a modern person? Philip really did not know her. He did not follow any celebrity nor watch entertainment news. He glanced at the phone that Wynn handed to him and felt as if he was struck by lightning! It was really her! Philip felt a massive headache coming. It was that Korean girl from the other night! “You really don’t know her?” Wynn asked again. Wynn felt amused at his bitter expression. Philip gritted his teeth and said, “No, I never watch entertainment news. I don't even know some domestic stars. You also said that she has been abroad before, so it’s impossible for me to know her.” On the stage, Isaac Jenks said with a smile, “Everyone, this heavyweight guest has just returned from abroad. Her parti
Her brown chestnut hair was set high behind her head, revealing a fair swan-like neck. A pair of dewy brown eyes gleamed like deep fathomless pools. The long red evening dress wrapped around her sexy and graceful torso, highlighting her almost perfect golden ratio figure. She was just like the brightest star in the night!It was Vivi Joo! The people in the audience could hardly contain their excitement now! She was an international superstar. Only in her 20s, she had reached the point where many people could only admire her from a distance! Vivi Joo, also known as little Britney, was practically the darling of the world. She started as a child star at the age of seven and her career to stardom took off smoothly since then. She appeared on the cover of Time Magazine a few years later and was voted ‘Most Popular Female Star’! Moreover, if a curious bystander checked into her background, they would find that the supporting pillar behind Vivi Joo was none other than the Joo family
Vivi already met the personnel of Beacon Group before attending this event and also understood that Wynn was the chairwoman of Beacon Group. Vivi had always been very confident about her figure and beauty, but now, she was looking at Wynn with a trace of hostility. She loved a challenge! Wynn smiled slightly and looked at Vivi who stood in front of her. This woman was a big star. She was still contemplating whether to greet the other party or not and was just about to reach out when Vivi had already taken the lead in stretching out a slender little hand. “Hello, I know you. You’re Chairwoman Wynn Johnston of Beacon Group.” Vivi was full of smiles and looked extremely friendly. Wynn was taken aback slightly. Why did this superstar who just returned from abroad put herself down and showed her such courtesy? Her actions did not make any sense, puzzling Wyn. Strong rival! Since the other party showed her courtesy, she needed to do the same. Wynn nodded and said with a sof
“I’m sorry, but I’ve no idea what you’re talking about,” Philip said calmly as his eyes twitched. His expression was slightly cold. Vivi was silent for a moment before stretching out her hand and smiling warmly. “Oh, it’s okay. I might be mistaken, but I really seem to have met you somewhere before.” The audience went into an uproar at those words! Everyone’s jaw dropped wide enough that it could fit an egg! Vivi Joo took the initiative to greet a man and said she had met him somewhere before! She even repeated the same sentence twice! This was simply every man’s dream! Moreover, this opening remark sounded familiar. Following that, under everyone’s astonished gaze, Philip glanced at Vivi indifferently. He said disdainfully, “I say, Miss Joo, do we really know each other? Your pickup line is too old-fashioned. Can you try something more creative next time?” Philip's joke undoubtedly detonated the whole hall's discussion! Too c*cky for words! How could he say such
Wynn looked at Philip weirdly at this time. When the latter noticed that, he shuddered and asked weakly, “Don’t look at me like that. I feel very puzzled too. Wynnie, it’s really not what you think.” “You still say you don’t know her?” Wynn said coldly, looking exactly like a cat that got its tail stepped on. She was about to throw a hissy fit. “I don’t. How could I? She’s an international superstar!” Philip shook his head and said with certainty. “Go on upstairs and have a fruitful chat with your international superstar,” Wynn said lightly, her tone slightly cold. “Ah, what are you saying? No way, even you don’t believe me?” Philip thought his ears had to be playing tricks on him. What happened to Wynn? Was she jealous? “I'll go home by myself in a while. You don't need to come down to see me off.” After Wynn finished speaking, she held the skirt of her evening dress up and walked out of the hall. She felt very upset at this moment. Philip Clarke dared to fool around
