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
Martha was in an absolute panic now. Philip seemed like he was being very serious. He dared to demand money from her! “Wynnie, Wynnie, just look at him. What the hell is Philip trying to do? Is he really going to take it that far?” Martha pulled on Wynn as she wailed and sobbed. This trick had been used repeatedly. However... Today, Martha had played the wrong cards. With Mila in her arms, Wynn turned around, glared at Martha, and said coldly, “Mom, I’ve had enough of you. Don’t look for my help today. I won’t speak on your behalf anymore.” With that said, Wynn took Mila and sat in the corner, watching the scene. Right now, Martha was truly abandoned by her family. She sat on the ground and started kicking up a big fuss. “Philip Clarke, I’m your mother-in-law, after all. Are you really going to kick me out? Are you still human? “You’ve been in the Johnston family for so many years, eating our food and living in our house. Am I not kind enough to you? I just beat
Philip explained no further.Here, several security guards received the order and rushed into the bedroom immediately. They quickly moved out all the belongings of Martha and Charles. At the door, the truck from the relocation company had also arrived. In less than 20 minutes, everything belonging to Martha and Charles was emptied from the villa. Martha and Charles stood at the gates of the villa. The latter sighed with emotion and shook his head helplessly. Martha was reluctant. She stared at the villa with tears in her eyes and sobbed. “Charles, talk to Philip. I don’t want to move away from here.” However, Charles paid her no heed, shook his head, and said, “Let’s go. What else do you want? He’s already kicked us out. It’s all because of you!” Martha finally got to live in a villa after much difficulty. She refused to leave so easily. She wiped her tears, hardened her resolve, and ran in front of Philip. She bent her knees and knelt with a thud! She knelt! Martha Ya
With that sentence, the temperature in the house dropped. Martha was flustered. Was she supposed to drug them again? “No, Madam Wallis, I’m afraid I can’t do this anymore. The last time… Philip found out about it, and…” Martha stammered her refusal. Smack! With a forceful slap, Giada stared at Martha coldly through her sunglasses, exuding a biting chill. She said, “You didn’t complete the task last time. Not coming after you is already a gift to you. How dare you refuse now?” This time, Martha covered her face, lowered her head, and dared not say anything else. The intensity was too overwhelming! Just one look from Giada and Martha was trembling all over, drenched in a cold sweat. “What… What is it?” In the end, Martha could not withstand Giada’s aura and asked weakly. Giada said mildly, “During Wynn’s next pregnancy check, I want to know the gender of the baby. If it’s a boy, let Wynn take this.” With that, the bodyguard next to Giada immediately took out a small
Muriel was also around at this time. She was sitting on Carr’s lap while saying coquettishly, “Dear, won’t you do it for me? Let’s get back at her for my sake, okay?”Carr spread his hands and looked helpless. He spoke in a heavy accent, “Muriel, Beacon Group is one of the few large companies in Riverdale. Moreover, they’ll soon launch a new drug in the market that will bring new blood to the pharmaceutical industry. I can’t just issue a drug prohibition order to them because of personal enmity. It violates my work ethics.” “No way! I can’t stand that Wynn Johnston! She just got the position of chairwoman, right? No wonder she was so smug the other day!” Muriel was adamant, so she got off Carr’s lap and said bitterly, “You must help me in this matter. Otherwise, I’ll send the evidence of your affairs with those little vixens in the association to your workgroup!” When Carr heard this, he was angry. With his face flushed red, he said, “Muriel, have you been investigating me?” M
Wynn came to the company and presided over the situation. A meeting of the board of directors was also held urgently. “What should we do now? What is the medical association trying to do? Why did they cancel our qualifications for no reason?” “Who knows? But I heard that Madam Johnston has offended someone from Golden City Medical Association, so they’re deliberately causing trouble for us.” “Really? How come I’ve never heard about it? Will this company still continue to operate? Stopping production for three months, how big of a loss will we incur? Won’t our investment all be in vain then?” The entire conference room was in total chaos. The board members were all talking about it and all kinds of rumors were flying in the air. The door of the conference room was pushed open, and Wynn appeared in front of everyone while wearing a black trench coat. She walked straight to the main seat. The noise in the conference room decreased. However, someone said in dissatisfactio
“Yes,” Mindy said and quickly left the meeting room. Wynn was left alone in the huge conference room. She did not know if she could withstand the power of the internet. In the last incident, the change of public opinion was due to the huge investment from Milanelson Angel Investment Group. Should she ask Philip for help? Wynn was hesitant. She did not want to rely on Philip to solve the problem every time. She did not want to be a useless person. Very soon, Philip appeared in the office. “Wynn, what happened?” Philip stepped into the director’s office, noticed the despondent look on Wynn’s face, and knew that things were bad. Wynn merely smiled when she saw Philip and said, “It’s fine. I’m handling it.” “How’s it going?” Philip continued asking. Wynn shook her head and said, “The medical association’s branch office canceled our qualifications and ordered us to suspend production for three months, but you don’t need to worry. I’m thinking of a way now. I know Mr.
“No one ever comes to my place. You must be outsiders.” Celeste was curious, wondering who Philip was. Celeste knew about the four unique races, but Philip’s appearance and form did not fit any of them. “You’re right. I’m an outsider. I wanted to know something, so I came to the forest. It’s best if you can give me an answer. I don’t intend to harm anyone. If you can answer my questions, I’ll leave and remove the curse on you as well,” Philip persuaded her. He felt that the woman was quite sincere, different from what he imagined. In that case, there was no need to make things difficult for her. Besides, he did not feel a murderous vibe in her, so she had probably never done anything bad. Philip had no reason to make things difficult for someone who liked to hide and sing. “Go ahead. I’ll answer you if I know, but I don’t really know much. I usually stay in my own territory and have no contact with the outside world. Even the other races don't know of my existence.” Rabbit
Philip felt that there was no problem with his hearing. Someone was humming a song, and the tune sounded very strange and spooky in the dark forest. Rabbit frowned and nodded. He also heard the strange sound and was scared. “Who has nothing better to do but to sing here?” Rabbit nervously grabbed the corner of Philip's clothes, afraid that Philip would leave him behind. Philip shook his head. According to the others, no one would come here for no reason. Due to various dangers in the forest, they would only wander around the edge without seeking trouble in the depths. In that case, the abrupt singing voice was very strange, indeed. “Philip, don't be nervous. Stay calm.” Rabbit's voice was trembling. Although Rabbit kept telling Philip to stay calm, he was already freaking out, so scared that he nearly wanted to run away. Philip knew Rabbit’s character, so he did not comment. He simply observed the surroundings and listened carefully to the sound, which was so ethereal tha
Philip took Puffy along and quickly arrived in a forest where the other races usually hunted, so they should not face any danger here. As soon as Philip left, a woman appeared in the corner and looked in the direction where Philip left with a conflicted look on her face. “Should I follow him?” Ariadna had been left behind in the snake people’s village. She had no friends, and no one paid her any attention. Sometimes, they even displayed their ridicule and disdain for her. She did not get good treatment even though she was a junior from the outside world. In desperation, Ariadna decided to follow Philip. Unexpectedly, she saw Philip with a cute kid the next second. Ariadna was surprised to see that Philip had such a big and cute child. “Wait, that kid looks a little weird.” Due to the distance, Ariadna could not see what the kid looked like, but his color and body shape seemed different from that of normal people. After much deliberation, Ariadna decided to tag along, co
“I’ll look around and find out what’s going on. Don’t worry about me. Look for Ronan if anything crops up.” Philip decided to leave Ronan in charge. Ronan did not object. He knew that Philip wanted to train him. He rarely interacted with others, so he had poor social skills. He had improved with Philip’s help, but his skills were still nothing compared to Philip’s subordinates. He was deeply moved by the opportunity that Philip had given him. “Sure enough, heroes will emerge from the youth. You two will have a bright future!” Wren said excitedly. Philip did not comment. After a few pleasantries, he wandered around with Rabbit. Selma and her people had no time for Philip. They finally found their predecessors, so they had many questions to solve. Philip was most interested in getting to the bottom of this mysterious place. It felt more like a cage designed to trap them. It was devoid of rich energy and other resources suitable for them. What was the purpose of the person b
A woman like Arachne who pursued her own happiness was usually frowned upon. A person who was willing to sacrifice for the family would be recorded in history forever. Weaver patted Ariadna's shoulder expectantly, believing she could carry it out. After all, he did not know what had happened between them earlier. Everything was a big mistake. “I don’t think I can complete this difficult task,” Ariadna said nervously, afraid that Weaver would put too much hope on her. Ariadna knew that Rabbit had a grudge against her. Moreover, some of her actions had offended Philip, who might ignore her because of that. Thinking of this, she wanted to decline the task, but Weaver was very firm about his decision. “As the holy maiden of the family, this task is yours. No one else can do it but you.” Weaver put Ariadna on a high pedestal, so all the pressure fell on her. Weaver left with the others, leaving the poor holy maiden behind. Arachne looked at Ariadna resentfully. The opportunity
“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
