Philip also lost patience at this moment and said bluntly, “Wallace Phoenix, I’ll give you two choices. One, chop off your brother’s hand and we’ll take it as nothing happened. Two, I’ll ask the men outside to come in and smash up your Phoenix Pavilion. Then, I’ll personally chop off your brother’s hand. How about it? It’s a fair transaction, right?” Fair transaction? It was a total loss! Wallace was full of anger. With red eyes, he shouted in a deep voice, “You’ve gone too far!” Philip shook his head and said with a smile, “It’s not that I’ve gone too far, but you did something wrong and have to be punished for it.” After that, Philip stretched out his hand and motioned to Don to hand over the document. He directly tossed it in front of Wallace, saying, “Look at it. It’s the notice issued by the association. Your Phoenix Pavilion has been ordered to close for reorganization… How many years is that?” Philip turned to ask Don. Don smiled slightly and replied, “Indefinite clo
After leaving Phoenix Pavilion, he, Theo, and Don were laughing in the car. Full of smiles, Don said, “Young Master Clarke, your methods are very clever. Wallace suffered such a big loss this time. I’m sure he won't let it go.” Before they came, they had made plans to put pressure on Wallace to make him lose more than he gained. Sure enough, Wallace was a person with careful thoughts, but he always overthought things. Often, the more considerations one made, the more mistakes there would be. In fact, if Wallace had gone to Miss Clarke for help, Philip may not be able to do anything to him. Don had mentioned that the person behind Miss Clarke was on par with Philip. If the two parties went head to head with each other, it would be enough to destroy the world! Therefore, no one would make the first move. However, Wallace was not aware of this. Clearly, he wanted to obtain the approval of the person behind Miss Clarke, so he could only grit his teeth and swallow the gr
Anna just watched with red eyes as she blamed herself. “Mr. Clarke, I’m sorry. I didn’t protect Mila.” Philip shook his head and said, “I’m not here to listen to your apologies. I’m here to thank you.” “Thank me?” Anna was puzzled. Philip cut the peeled apple into cubes, then poked a piece with a toothpick. Stretching his arm out, he placed the cubed apple at the corner of Anna’s bruised mouth. Anna was still a little apprehensive and hesitated for a moment before opening her small mouth shyly. “If you hadn’t protected Mila with your life, she might have been tortured by them a long time ago,” Philip said with a trace of hatred in his eyes. Anna said after a brief silence, “It’s my responsibility. It’s because of my inability that I couldn’t protect her.” Philip paused, raised his eyebrows, and glanced at Anna before saying with dissatisfaction, “I said, I'm not here to listen to you blaming yourself.” Of course, his words contained a trace of humor—not complete dissa
Wallace was startled. He took the portfolio and opened it. It was really detailed and comprehensive! Wynn Johnston, huh? Philip’s wife was Wynn Johnston, the chairman of Beacon Group. His daughter was Mila Clarke, his mother-in-law was Martha Yates, and his father-in-law was Charles Johnston… Very detailed information. “Miss Clarke, this is?” Wallace asked to make sure that he was right. Rachel said coldly, “Wynn is undergoing prenatal treatment at the hospital now. Tell your guys to make trouble at her company. It’s better to create a big fuss so that Philip won’t have the time or energy in Phoenicia. When the time comes and the underground chamber of commerce starts, he won’t be able to do much. As long as the person arranged by the master can take down half of the profit division in the underground chamber of commerce this time, you will be a great contributor.” Wallace listened carefully, looked at the information in his hand, and already got the idea. “Miss Clarke,
Above the crowd, a bright red banner with a few particularly noticeable large characters was displayed. [Beacon, the unscrupulous company! Tumor of the medical industry! Profiting off peoples’ lives! We demand justice!] There was also a lot of discussion among the crowd. “Oh, what a pitiful family. I heard that a couple took Beacon’s medicine and died, leaving only a pair of toddlers and an old mother.” “What? So miserable? Then this Beacon is too evil! How could they claim to be a pharmaceutical company? They’re selling poison!” “Profiteering merchants! Dishonest traders! Get out of Riverdale! We want the relevant agencies to conduct a thorough investigation!” In the crowd, everyone was raising their arms and shouting. Of course, among these people, some were paid actors while some were ignorant spectators who got driven by emotions. Mindy led a few people over and asked anxiously, “What's the matter? Why are so many people making trouble?” At a glance, there was a s
Fortunately, Fabio’s security team moved quickly and guarded Wynn behind them.“Madam Johnston, are you alright?” Mindy was anxious and kept wiping things off Wynn. Wynn shook her head, forced a smile, and said, “I’m fine. We can’t blame people for being angry.” After that, she walked out from behind the security guards, faced the angry crowd, and shouted, “Everyone, please calm down. We can’t solve the problem like this. Regarding this matter, Beacon will communicate with the family members promptly. We will also understand the needs of the family members. I hope everyone will give me some time.”“Bullsh*t! Why should we believe you? Wynn Johnston is the number one villain!” “Exactly! I heard that you’re pregnant. I’m sure the child in your stomach will also become a scum of society in the future! It’s better to die!” Wicked! In the crowd, several big guys with tattoos had been inciting violent emotions in people right from the start. Tiger tilted his head and spoke in
The three men got out of the car with a serious attitude, broke through the crowd, and stood in front of Wynn. “Are you Wynn Johnston, chairwoman of Beacon Group?” The man who took the lead had a square jaw and a deep scar at the corner of his eye, but the hat he was wearing was so low that no one could see it. “Yes, I am. May I know who you are?” Wynn was perplexed. Why were the people from the Drug Administration Association also here? Also, from the forceful intensity of this situation, things did not appear to be good. The square-jawed man gestured directly to his subordinates, took out a sealed document from the briefcase, and handed it to Wynn. “We received reports from the public that your company is producing and selling counterfeit drugs. We’re here to understand the situation. You need to shut your company down for rectification. Chairman Johnston, please come with us.” Wynn was startled and quickly explained, “Everyone, I’m sorry. This is a misunderstanding. Ou
One problem followed after another. Philip’s body was full of chills at the moment. He suddenly realized that things sounded off and asked anxiously, “What's going on? Beacon is said to be producing and selling counterfeit drugs? How is this possible?” Tiger said nervously on the phone, “Mr. Clarke, I don't know the specific situation, but just now, a group of people was making trouble at the entrance of the company. There were several groups of people and media reporters on the scene. While the lady was dealing with it, people from the Drug Administration Association came over, saying that they wanted Beacon to suspend business for rectification. They then took the lady and Assistant Mindy away forcefully.” Tiger hurriedly recounted what happened. Philip frowned deeply after listening. This incident was full of oddities. So many people were making trouble together, and the appearance of the reporters... By right, these reporters would not have arrived at the scene so soon.
