“Wait there. I’ll go to Riverdale at once!” Shawn Hane, the head of the Hane family, said. Click! Then, the phone was disconnected! Klein was stunned for half a minute before reacting. What was the situation? Shawn was coming to Riverdale? This place was several hours away from Capital City. At the same time on the elevated highway leading to Riverdale, a Rolls-Royce drove along at high speed. Inside the car, Shawn’s face was full of horror as he sweated profusely while saying, “Take me to Klein’s private residence as fast as you can!” After saying this, Shawn’s heart started thumping rapidly. He was flabbergasted! As the head of the Hane family in Capital City, this panicked expression on his face was really rare and unusual. Even the driver was as quiet as a mouse at the moment. The atmosphere in the car was freezing. How could the third brother provoke him?! Damn it! Was the Hane family going to go through the crisis eight years ago again? Back at t
However! Bam! Shawn directly kicked Klein in the stomach and shouted fiercely, “Shut up!” At that moment, Klein fell to the ground and looked at his elder brother with eyes full of disbelief. Why did this happen? Shawn glared at Klein angrily. He was a martial arts practitioner and had held back the strength in that kick. Otherwise, his brother would be crippled already! “Patriarch Hane, is there anything you want to say?” Vivi turned to Shawn and asked coldly. “I’ll take responsibility for this matter. Let me remove the cuffs for Mr. Clarke.” Shawn looked grim. When his gaze fell on Philip, his entire body broke out in goosebumps! Sure enough, it was him—the harbinger of doom! “Shawn, what are you doing? He beat up Kenneth and Francis! Are you that afraid of the Joo family?” Klein did not understand and asked frantically. His eldest brother rushed all the way here just to admit defeat? “Shut up! What do you know? If I hadn't come to Riverdale in advance, you’d
Upon hearing this, Shawn’s anxiety was relieved by half. Ignoring the cold sweat on his forehead, he quickly motioned to Klein and reprimanded, “Why are you still in a daze? Remove the cuffs for Young Master Clarke immediately!” Klein was unwilling but had no other choice. He had to obey his eldest brother’s orders! He got up reluctantly, walked over to Philip, and took out the key to unlock the cuffs. However, due to nervousness, he did not manage to insert the key into the keyhole even after several attempts. It took a lot of effort before Klein removed the shackles from Philip's wrists. In that instant, the tightly wounded string in his heart also relaxed. Perhaps everything would be over with this. However, to everyone’s surprise, Philip did not stop there. Instead, he rubbed his wrists and said, “Although you just said that you’d give me a satisfactory explanation, I have to remind you that this matter is not going to end like this.” Everyone’s breath was stuck i
Klein also knew he had no other way out. He looked a lot older in an instant. He asked unwillingly, “Shawn, is that really him?” Shawn paused briefly before nodding. “He did that eight years ago. You’ve made the biggest mistake and now you have to bear the consequences.” After that, Shawn turned and left in a seemingly heartless fashion. Klein stood there alone, laughing aloud at himself. Then, he directly jumped out of the window! At the last moment, he stared resentfully at the people who left and shouted, “Philip Clarke, I won’t let you off even if I become a ghost!” Boom! Philip listened to the commotion behind him without stopping. When Shawn walked out of the gate, he naturally heard the movement. A trace of unbearable sadness and helplessness flashed in his eyes. He said to his subordinates, “Bring Third Master Hane back home.” … Philip walked out of the Hane's private house, followed by Vivi and the others. “Aren’t you going to thank me?” Vivi suddenly ask
Martha shuddered and quickly replied, “No, nothing. I’m going to cook.” With that, she ran into the kitchen. Philip frowned but did not say anything. He sat in the living room fiddling with his phone. Martha hid in the kitchen, peeked at Philip furtively, and was relieved to see that he was not suspicious. She took out a small item from her pocket—a tiny earphone. This was something she had bought at the market in the morning. It was a listening device. She was in Philip and Wynn’s bedroom just now where she secretly installed the bug and was about to go downstairs to try it out when she unexpectedly ran into Philip. To keep herself busy for a while, Martha cooked chicken soup. When she was done, she wiped her hands and walked to the living room. “Philip, I’d like to ask you something.” Martha smiled and sat down. Philip nodded without raising his head and said, “What's the matter?” Martha hesitated for a long time before asking cautiously, “Last time, the old-fashi
“Have you found out who’s the boss behind the scenes?” Philip asked. Theo shook his head and said helplessly, “It’s very mysterious. We can’t find anything.” Philip frowned, sat for a few minutes, then got up before saying, “Okay, let’s wait and see.” He patted Theo on the shoulder and said with a smile, “Don’t worry, you’re my man. Whatever you want, I’ll get it for you.” Theo was very excited at his words and nodded respectfully. “Thank you, Mr. Clarke.” After that, Philip put his hands in his trouser pockets and left the directors' office. Back at First Palace. In the living room at this moment, Martha stood on the side with a flattering expression. In front of her, a woman with elegant grace was sitting on the sofa. Giada Wallis. She had turned up at the villa. Vivian stood behind her while the Wallis family’s bodyguards were at the door. Ten minutes ago, Giada came and frightened Martha until she was stuttering. “Madam… Wallis, do you have any instruction
Sister-in-law? Wynn was stunned as she stared at the woman dubiously. Why did she call her sister-in-law? Wynn glanced around before asking tentatively, “Are you talking to me?” The other party smiled gracefully and said, “My name is Hannah Clarke.” Hannah Clarke?! Wynn was dumbfounded! Her eyes widened as she stared at the woman in front of her in disbelief. The more she looked, the more she thought this woman before her looked similar to Philip. “You... Are you really Hannah Clarke?” Wynn’s breathing became rapid. Sher covered her small mouth and blinked her big eyes. She was very excited! Philip's younger sister was also her sister-in-law? Did Philip not say she was dead? In that case, why was she standing in front of her and talking to her now? Wynn could not understand this and her mind went blank for a moment. When she recovered, the other party had already sat down, ordered a cup of coffee, and was smiling faintly as she said, “You must have a lot of qu
That was obviously impossible. Giada had been keeping a close eye on him after all. Yvette frowned and thought for a moment before replying, “I can't help you with this but maybe someone else can. I'll go back and find out for you.” Philip did not hold much hope either. He learned from George that forces like the Hull Organization were based overseas and had a complex background. The two chatted for a bit more before going their separate ways. This was a chance meeting after all. At this moment, however, a pickup truck full of people suddenly stopped in front of them! Their intentions were hostile! Philip raised his eyebrows. Was this an after-dinner entertainment? It seemed like they were here to pick a fight. With that thought, he stood in front of Yvette. Looking at the familiar back in front of her, Yvette's eyes flashed with surprise. The images of the previous incident also surfaced in her mind. At the same time, the passenger door of the pickup truck was open
