Philip did not say anything. Instead, he laughed in resignation as he turned around to leave. Martha was still muttering to herself. “What a sight for sore eyes.” Henry’s brows furrowed. Was this Mr. Clarke’s mother-in-law? She was so spirited and rude.Mr. Clarke was really unlucky to have such a mother-in-law. “Wait!” Henry called out to Philip and stood in front of him. He was not happy with the way this mother-in-law was acting. Thus, he wanted to do something for Mr. Clarke. “Who is this?” Henry’s tone was cold as he spoke to Juan. Juan immediately responded in a complimentary manner, “Professor Turner, this is…” Before the introductions could be finished, Martha began scolding unreasonably, “Who are you, you old grouch! What, do you want to speak up for that wimp?” Old grouch? Everyone present was dumbfounded! This was the first time that Henry had been scolded in such a manner in his many years of practicing medicine. At that moment, he was so angry th
A simple sentence, yet Martha’s and Juan’s hearts thudded at the sound of it! What did he mean by ‘for his sake’? How could that useless bum say something like that at a time like this! Was his honor that precious? Martha was trembling with anger. Philip was a big talker and knew just when to pick his moment. Was he deliberately trying to embarrass himself and offend Henry? Was it revenge? “Philip, shut up! Who do you think you are? Do you think you have a say in this matter?” Martha admonished with trepidation. She was really worried that Philip, that piece of trash, would accidentally offend someone as important as Henry Turner. He even asked him to let the matter go for his sake. Did he not know how much more noble this man was when compared to him? Philip’s brows knitted together. He had not thought that Martha would be the first to reprimand him. He was trying to get her out of trouble through his kind intentions, but instead, she retaliated. “Why are you s
Right at the moment she said it, Martha already had a hundred plans to seek revenge on Philip. However, just as Juan was about to ask about the matter of visiting a doctor, Henry left.Juan immediately panicked and rushed to catch up.There was only Martha and Philip left in the rest area. The former was staring at Philip fiercely, her eyes filled with a flame of anger."Mom, you didn't..."Slap!Before Philip could finish speaking, Martha had slapped him across the cheek and cursed, "How about it? Does it feel good to have me apologize to you?" ‘I would not be a Yates if I didn't beat you up!’Philip was speechless. His cheek was aching with burning pain, and his fists were pinched tightly in his trousers."Oh, are you unhappy about it? Come hit this old lady if you can. Come on, hit me." Martha immediately pushed Philip with a challenging look.More people had come to look.Then, Martha gave up. Before she left, she glared at Philip fiercely. She scolded, "Useless! Die e
Wynn stepped down from the bed and walked toward Philip's black jacket.The ringing continued to sound in the ward.Just as Wynn picked up the jacket and was about to take the phone out, Philip suddenly walked in and snatched the jacket from her hand. Then, he smiled calmly. "I'm going out to answer the call."After saying this, Philip turned away and walked out of the ward.He took out the phone and had a look at it. It was Wynn's number!He could only hang up.That was too dangerous!At that moment just now, Philip felt like he had gone to another world. His forehead was covered with cold sweat.It was still not a good time to tell Wynn about his identity.It was not that he deliberately wanted to conceal it, but if Wynn came to know about it, she, Mila, and even the entire Johnston family would be in danger. Only Philip himself was aware of this danger.Philip had seen that woman's tactics.During the time when he left his family, that woman had more or less been pushing
Seeing Philip walk away, she turned her head, took Wynn’s hand, and earnestly said, “Oh Wynnie, haven’t I told you? Why do you still want to be with that trash? Are there no good men in this world? I think Aiden isn’t bad. He’s handsome and has a good family background. What counts is that he treats your father and me well.”Wynn felt very helpless. She knew her mother was up to nothing good when she came over.“Mom, please stop talking. I don’t feel like thinking about this now.”Wynn helplessly said. She went up to her bed and lied down sideways.Martha, however, continued talking. “If you don’t like Aiden, Juan is okay too. I see that he’s busy these days. This type of guy is extremely rare now.”When Wynn did not reply to her, Martha got so mad that she groaned.“This girl! How are you so stubborn? What’s good about Philip Clarke? He can’t earn money and has no social connections. His friends are poorer than the others. This type of man is a scum of society.“I don’t care if
Philip’s face darkened. He did not understand. How could Lynn, a university student, owe someone 100,000 bucks?!“What happened?” Philip asked softly.Lynn felt very uncomfortable when she saw the way Philip looked at her. Her whole body felt prickly. It was just like being scrutinized by a roadside beggar.“Hurry up and withdraw the money. Do you still want to see me being held captive by them?” Lynn stared at Philip. He was still standing there dumbly like a blockhead.Although Kyle and Jacob were scared of Dick Jayson, they were not scared of Philip. Since Philip was here, it must mean that this useless bum was afraid of Lynn. It was only natural to make him withdraw the money to save them.“F*ck! What are you looking at! Quickly withdraw the money!” Kyle immediately slammed the table and stood up shouting.In his eyes, Philip was an idiot.However, in the next second, Philip looked at Dick Jayson coldly and said, “I don’t have money, but I must take her with me. As for the o
"Bro, you are so f*cking amusing. No one has ever dared to talk to me like this. You are the first one." Dick lit another cigarette. Taking in a deep breath, he said slowly.As he was saying this, two of his men closed the door of the bar.As it was daytime, the bar was closed. Philip raised his brows. He glanced at the surrounding people. They were all geared up and ready to fight. All of them had a cold smile on their faces.Lynn was also very anxious. She did not expect that it would be a mistake to look for Philip for help. This idiot dared to talk to Dick like that.‘Get lost if you have no money. Why even stay here pretending to be cool?’ "Philip, if you don't have any money, just leave. I don't need you to get in the way," Lynn said coldly.Kyle, Jacob, and the others also followed suit."Damn, after such a long time, this idiot doesn't even have a penny and he’s still trying to be cool in front of Dick.""Dick, I don't know this guy. He has nothing to do with us."
Lynn and the others watched Nino lead his people into the bar.This was one of the underground bosses of Riverdale!The power and capital behind Nino were even more powerful and terrifying!Kyle was so terrified that he had goosebumps all over his skin. His mouth was trembling as he said, "We have to leave quickly. If Master Nino catches us, we will definitely be dead!"Kyle was scared out of his wits. He was only fortunate to have seen Master Nino show off his power before!Harry, who once caused a disturbance in Riverdale, had knelt and spoke in front of Master Nino.After witnessing this scene, Kyle told himself in his heart that if he were to provoke someone, it better not be Master Nino.He was too strong!Moreover, his methods were extremely vicious!Harry, who had been previously undefeated in the hundred rounds of underground black boxing, did not listen to Master Nino's words and refused to fight with fake punches. In the end, he had his hands and feet broken before g
