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
“Revenge? Of course, but there’s no hurry. He hurt my boys, so he definitely can’t escape, or else, I can’t live up to my name of Ollie from North Street.” The brawny man had this planned out very well. He noticed that this was a remote place with not many people around. The other party only consisted of one man and one woman, so he was not afraid at all! However, when the brawny man was about to make a move, his eyes saw Yvette who was standing behind Philip. He was instantly shocked to the heavens and felt that his eyes were blinded at that sight! Too damn gorgeous! She was the best-looking woman he had ever seen! Ollie was the boss of North Street with 40 or 50 men under him. He could be considered someone with a bit of status. However, even he had never seen a beautiful woman like Yvette, especially one with the kind of domineering temperament! “Boss, are we making a move?” the guy on crutches asked. Gulp! Ollie swallowed a mouthful of drool, his eyes gleaming as
Today, Ollie brought his men to seek justice for him. If they backed down at this time, he would be embarrassed! Moreover, he believed from the bottom of his heart that the gun in the opponent's hand was a fake! How could anyone pull out a real gun in this society? However, as soon as the guy's voice fell, a deafening gunshot exploded in his ears! He watched with his own two eyes as the man shot at him with his gun. In a split second, he wetted his pants! At his age, he had never heard the sound of a real gunshot, let alone the sound of bullets passing his ears. It was so terrifying! For a moment, the guy on crutches became weak in his legs and could no longer stand. He staggered and fell to the ground while peeing his pants at the same time! The guy slumped on the ground and only came back to his senses after a few seconds. He started to shout and wave his arms hysterically! Realizing that the weapon was real, Ollie could no longer stay calm and quickly shouted, “Run!”
Young master of the Hull Organization’s subsidiary. Philip raised his eyebrows and looked at the handsome man, already deep in thought. Yvette stood beside Philip and said to Flint coldly, “Flint, what are you doing? I told you a long time ago that it’s impossible between us.” Flint said angrily, “Is it because of him? Who is he? I’ll make him go bankrupt right this instant!” Yvette turned her head away and said, “You’re too arrogant! If you dare to touch him, I’ll never forgive you!” Hearing this, Flint’s eyes were filled with jealousy as his face became gloomier. He moved his gaze away from Yvette and stared at Philip with a faint smile, his eyes vindictive. Philip frowned slightly at Flint’s expression. He did not want to cause trouble, but he disliked it when others showed him this expression too! Flint sneered ironically, “Yvette, I’ve been pursuing you for so long but you don’t even let me hold your hand. Everyone is waiting to see me make a fool of myself but I s
When Philip heard Flint’s insulting words, his eyes turned cold again! He could feel Yvette’s body trembling slightly, and Philip could not bear it anymore. He hated people like Flint the most! “Let me kill him for you,” Philip whispered. He had not made any moves tonight. Yes, Philip wanted to kill him and not just teach him a lesson. To him, Yvette may be closer than an ordinary friend. He did not have to do so much for her, but looking at Yvette’s expression at the moment, he could not bear it any longer. She reminded him very much of himself in the past. Hearing Philip’s words, Yvette shuddered again. She knew that Philip was not joking. If his two subordinates were also there, then Flint would definitely not survive! “No, don’t!” Yvette grabbed Philip’s arm anxiously, trying to dissuade him. After having witnessed Philip's terrifying skills and unpredictable identity, she really believed that Philip's claim of killing was not a simple joke but the real thing.
