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
Jaden gritted his teeth and said, “I don’t know how you got the information about my great-grandfather, but I’ll tell you this, don’t try to scare me! I’m not afraid of you! Also, I won’t agree to your terms!” What a joke. How could Jaden give up this opportunity to bring Cynthia down so easily? Impossible! Besides, the news about Cynthia’s mother was his trump card. He would never hand it over! “Oh, in that case, there’s no discussion then.” Philip snickered coldly with chills in his eyes, looking at Jaden who just got up from the ground. As soon as Jaden made eye contact with Philip, goosebumps spread all over his skin and his body turned cold as if he was being watched by a tiger. “You!” Jaden shouted. As soon as his voice fell, Philip went up and kicked him again! With this kick, Jaden felt that he was almost dead. His ribs seemed to be broken in his chest. The pressure made him unable to breathe! “Jaden Larson, you still don’t understand your situation? Don’t t
Philip flicked a glance at the dazed Cynthia and fished something out of his pocket. A glassy jade bangle! Since the last incident with Martha Yates, he had always kept it with him. When the bangle appeared, both Jaden and Cynthia were dumbstruck! They recognized this jade bangle! This was the token given by the Clarke family to the Larson family back then. It was originally a pair and there was another one in the family. The other jade bangle was taken out when Great-grandfather celebrated his 90th birthday. Basically, all members of the Larson family at the core level knew the value of this jade bangle. Moreover, Grandaunt’s name, Charlotte Larson, was engraved on the inside of the bangle. “You’re really Grandaunt’s son?” Jaden was flustered and truly in a panic! What the hell?! Although the Larson family had withdrawn from the mainland, they still knew a little about the Clarke family. However, due to family restrictions, they hardly had contact with the Cl
