Philip was livid! Martha was still unrepentant! She even resorted to things like stealing and framing others. Anne also cried tears of anger and felt extremely aggrieved. She stood at the door with tears pouring down her face. Philip squeezed the back of Martha’s neck, dragging her into the living room from Anne’s bedroom before throwing her on the ground! Thud! Martha stumbled and landed heavily on her bum! Severe pain! At this moment, Martha felt that her tail bone was broken. She sat on the ground with her face flushed, staring at Philip. Then, she cursed fiercely, “Philip, what are you doing? I’m your mother-in-law. How dare you treat me like this? Do you believe that I’ll Wynn about this? I want you to get a divorce!” Martha acted as if she had nothing to lose and still put on airs. However, Philip was very angry. He walked up, raised his leg, and kicked Martha on her shoulder before saying coldly, “What I hate the most is framing someone for a crime they d
“What happened to you?” Charles asked. Martha immediately howled and complained, “Ah, what do you think? I was beaten by Philip! How dare he treat me this way? You’re my husband, so do something about this!” Martha finally found her support, and now she was acting like a three-year-old, venting all her grievances and dissatisfaction. Charles also looked helpless as he asked, “Why did he beat you for no reason? Did you do something to provoke him?” Martha rolled her eyes around and said hesitantly, “No… I didn’t.” At the sight of her, Charles was sure she did something to offend Philip. Otherwise, Philip would not have been so heavy-handed. Therefore, he got up directly, ignored Martha, and left with some words, “Do as you please. After what happened today, haven’t you realized it already? Philip is no longer a good-for-nothing!” When Martha recalled what happened at the Green family, she felt chills up her spine. Philip was really different now. Back to Philip’s side.
Crack! The bottle shattered! The woman directly smashed the wine bottle in her hand on the ground and got up. Her face was flushed with anger as she yelled, “Assemble! Stop and kill all intruders!” With her order, the entire Stinger organization took action! In an instant, all members of the organization gathered in this hall! At the same time, a few figures appeared at the doorway. Philip walked at a leisurely pace and appeared in everyone’s sight. He was followed by Rick, Theo, and the others. At this moment, Theo and the others were already stained with blood. The woman on the throne saw the people who came and sat down again before saying coldly, “There are only a few of you and you still dare to break into my territory. You’re very brave!” At this moment, Philip looked like he was strutting with his hands in his trouser pockets. He glanced around a few times, then asked, “How long?” Rick took a glance and said, “Ten minutes.” “Okay,” Philip said, turned aroun
Philip was silent for a moment before he replied, “Sure. Pick me up when the time comes.” With Philip's affirmation, Theo beamed with joy and sent Philip away respectfully. Others might not know Philip’s identity and status, but Theo was aware. He had money and connections! This time, Theo planned to take down the entire South River District in one fell swoop! Very soon, Theo left to make preparations. Philip returned to the villa. Wynn had already returned and was playing with Mila. Seeing Philip, Wynn got up, motioned to Anne to bring Mila upstairs, and asked, “My mom told me that you beat her up?” Philip already expected that Martha would complain to Wynn, so he did not hide it and nodded, admitting it. “I did.” Wynn frowned. As soon as she returned, Martha had pulled her aside while crying and sobbing. She denounced Philip for torturing her. “What did she do this time?” Wynn knew Philip’s temper. If it was not the last straw, Philip would not do something like
Philip quickly ran to the small garden before he returned the call. Very soon, the call connected. It was a hearty male voice accompanied by sounds of other voices. He seemed to be at a party. “Philip, please hold on.” After that, the man on the other line seemed to gradually move away from the crowded area to a quiet place. “What did you find out?” Philip was anxious. He finally heard from Fennel after so long, and he had been in Fernvale recently. He must be investigating the task he had given him. “I found it,” the man on the line spoke with a hoarse voice, obviously different from the frivolous persona just now. “The reason why the Larson family of Fernvale withdrew from the mainland is inseparable from the Wallis family. The person behind the scenes should be Giada Wallis.” Giada? Philip frowned. He had long guessed that this was the case. “However, I found something else.” On the other end, Fennel said solemnly, “There seems to be someone else behind Gia
“Excuse me, but we’re busy.” Wynn smiled apologetically, not wanting to argue with someone like Muriel. During college, Wynn already knew that Muriel was a snobby and selfish person. “Hehe, why? Did I touch on a sore spot?” Muriel crossed her arms over her chest with a disdainful look, glanced at Philip, and sneered, “Wynn, I don’t want to talk bad about you, but you’re the campus belle after all. How could you actually marry him? Just look at him. Your man looks exactly like a loafer.” “Watch your words. He’s my husband!” Wynn said angrily, her face grim. However, instead of listening, Muriel sneered even louder and grabbed the little clothes in Wynn's hand. She said, “Hey, these are branded goods. Can you afford them? Are children born to parents with income disparity like you worthy of branded names?” Worthy? Of course not! In Muriel’s eyes, Wynn belonged to the lower echelons of society. Since two years ago, she had long heard about Philip’s trashiness. It was j
Philip chastised Muriel relentlessly! Muriel just stared at Philip blankly. She never expected this guy to have such a way with words! “Do you think you can do as you please just because you have foreign citizenship? You can insult people? Who gave you the right?” Philip yelled loudly. Muriel dared not rebuke. This was because the crowd around them had started talking about this, even criticizing Muriel! “Yes! A few days ago, there was news that several foreigners did not abide by the traffic regulations. They only received verbal warnings, but our locals were fined!” “Why are they treated differently? We should be equal!” “This b*tch really thinks that she’s so great! She’s just a foreign-idolizing turncoat!” In the crowd, the discussion completely exploded. Muriel had aroused public outrage. “You! What do country bumpkins like you know? Foreigners are better than you. They’re more cultured than any of you!” Muriel retorted doggedly as she pointed at everyone. As
The two lost their mood for shopping, so they decided to return to the villa. As soon as they returned, Wynn took advantage of the time when Philip was playing with Mila to run back to the bedroom. She took out the USB flash drive on the bedside table. After thinking about it, she went to the study, switched on the computer, and inserted the flash drive. It was a video. Wynn clicked on it apprehensively. It was also at this time that Philip suddenly came in while carrying the antenatal medicine. He said with a smile, “What are you busy with? It’s time for your medication.” Wynn forced out a smile and quickly switched to a different tab. “Nothing much, just looking at some numbers.” Philip glanced at her screen. He noticed the USB flash drive but did not say anything. After Wynn had taken the medicine, Philip showed no signs of leaving the room. The atmosphere in the room became a bit awkward. At this time, cries from Mila sounded downstairs, accompanied by Martha’s
“You never considered the consequences when you tried to take advantage of us. We brought them here, and they have the right to choose. Don't think about taking advantage.” Philip nodded at Fitz’s attitude. Sure enough, he liked this earnest man and was happy with his point of view. “If you want something, you need to pay a price for it. As I mentioned, I’m a businessman, so I prefer fair trade. I’m more than happy if you want to discuss a deal with me.” In fact, they had reached an agreement before the spider people arrived. Philip would not help the other three races for free, but he was not bad enough to charge them fees either. However, the spider people were different. Not to mention that Philip had a bad impression of them, but Rabbit’s grudge also remained unavenged. The spider people scowled at Philip’s disrespect, which was simply outrageous. The other races laughed gloatingly. The spider people had always been arrogant and domineering, preventing their developme
“I'm afraid that the snake people will strike a deal with him and monopolize everything.” The old man anxiously led everyone in the direction of the snake people. They could not miss the chance to share a piece of the pie. However, he did not intend to tell his people about it. The other two races no longer existed in the outside world, so it did not matter if they could not leave. It would be best to let their legends fade away in history. That idea was very selfish. Just when he thought he could grab all the benefits by stealth, the snake people shared the information without keeping it a secret. However, the snake people only shared the news with the other two races. They did not have a good impression of the spider people and even had the idea of leaving them behind. When the spider people hurried over, they found a crowd. They saw not only the young ones of the snake people but also those from the other two races. The other two races were the turtles and magpies. Just li
The old man felt annoyed when he saw the two women not getting along. He knew that the holy maidens of the family would face a lot of struggles. Ambitious women would try every means to cause trouble just to destroy the status of the holy maidens. By doing so, they could find ways to replace them. It was an underhanded method but effective. After all, not everyone could cope with the distinguished status of the holy maiden. One mistake could be fatal. Therefore, a holy maiden had to be prideful and flawless, just like an untainted and pure white lotus. The old man nodded thoughtfully. He did not think that Arachne looked like the holy maiden, and his suspicions were confirmed. She was not the holy maiden at all. Actions spoke louder than words. Arachne did not carry a regal bearing, so she would not act like a queen even if she wore a crown. At first, the old man wondered why the spider family would choose someone so unbefitting for the role of the holy maiden. Now that
At this point, an old man walked over. Although they usually maintained their true form, they sometimes took on a human form. Unlike the snake people who did not look very different between the two forms, the spider people looked outrageous in their true forms. “Are you one of the younger generation from outside?” The old man was curious to see the younger children's arrival at this place today. As someone who could not wait to make an impression, Arachne rushed forward and began to introduce herself. In short, Arachne was gradually taking over Ariadna’s position. Although the others were annoyed, they did not say anything because Arachne was really putting in some effort. There was no point in arguing about such things. The most important thing was to remove their curse. The old man was very excited and could not wait to welcome them. “This is wonderful. It has been thousands of years since we saw an outsider!” His eyes gleamed with excitement. “Tell me how you got in,” he
“Now that the spider people have found new blood, I’m afraid that things will worsen.” At this point, Fitz sighed helplessly. Rabbit jumped out at this time. He hated the spider people. Hearing their shameless behavior, Rabbit was agitated. “Sure enough, those spiders are up to no good. Philip, why don’t we just get rid of them? Take it as revenge for me!” Rabbit waved his paw and looked at Philip excitedly. He knew that only Philip could help him. The spiders might not be strong, but they had strength in numbers. They were not people to be trifled with. While Philip and the others were chatting, Ariadna and her people found the spider people. Arachne was very excited and smug, waiting to take all the credit. “As I said, we can find something we've been looking for if we enter this place! Sure enough, following Philip can help us overcome all difficulties and find our ancestral land and predecessors. So what if they're trapped here? They must have many more treasures and secr
They could also see some toddlers, which proved that the predecessors were living quite a good life. “We thought you had ascended to another place. Is this the place you ended up? It doesn’t look like the paradise described in the books!” Selma blinked innocently, wondering why this place looked like this. This place was not rich in energy, and there was nothing special about it, so it was not attractive at all. “We didn’t ascend but have been trapped in this place over the years with no way to leave.” Fitz did not want to deceive them and simply told them the facts. Now that they had entered, the newcomers had no way of leaving either. “Didn’t you notice? The passage that led you in has been sealed. There’s no way to leave now.” Selma turned her head curiously and looked at the exit. Philip followed suit and found that it was indeed the case. The exit was blocked by a huge stone. No one knew when the stone appeared. It felt like it appeared out of thin air. Philip's ex
When Philip’s eyes adjusted to the light, he saw a gurgling stream in front of him. There was a small village beside the stream and many more villages along the stream. Philip counted four in total. The villagers who lived along the stream observed Philip as he looked at them. “Outsiders?” A man standing in the front stared at Philip in surprised disbelief. Philip noticed that he had a snake tail. Hearing the man's words, everyone ran out. Without exception, they all had a snake tail. It was clear that they belonged to the same race as Selma. Selma covered her mouth in shock at this scene. It was true. Their predecessors were staying there. The man mellowed down after seeing Selma. He felt a familiar vibe on her. It seemed that they shared the same bloodline. Philip nudged Selma, who quickly understood his meaning and showed her true form. Cavin followed her cue. Seeing this scene, the man laughed and applauded. The spider people arrived at this time. They were surpri
Philip finally realized that Ariadna was not wealthy enough to do business with him. “This emerald pendant is very valuable! Don’t look down on it just because you’re strong!” Ariadna grumbled under her breath but had no choice but to accept it. After all, Philip had the final say about its value. Maybe her treasure was worthless to Philip because he was too strong for it. After taking the emerald pendant, Philip told Ariadna what he knew per their agreement, which was the secret about people living in the ancestral land. As expected, Ariadna was shocked by the news too. “Are you serious? This is too far-fetched. Are you saying that our predecessors have been trapped here and haven't left for another place?” Her outburst gave Philip a different idea. When he spoke to Selma earlier, he subconsciously believed that these so-called predecessors had ascended. It was strange that they reached a very odd place of ascension. After hearing Ariadna’s remark, however, it seemed mor
No one knew if their predecessors would treat them as their own. Although they had the same bloodline, they had not seen each other for such a long time. Besides, they sneaked into the ancestral land without permission. Maybe they would be killed before they stepped inside. Philip’s information was very useful, indeed. Selma quickly returned to her family members in a panic and discussed with them. With only a few of them, the discussion was very brief before they reached a decision. Cavin grimaced at this unexpected development, and he was more in awe of Philip. He was shocked by Philip’s strength. If Philip could sense that, his observation skill was nothing in front of Philip! Cavin felt helpless about it. It felt a little embarrassing to have shown off his skill in front of Philip now. “Selma, what should we do now? We have to consider the stalkers behind us. They won’t give up that easily. We may be in trouble if we don't find a way to get rid of them.” Cavin glanced at th
