After speaking, Wynn cried out in agitation, her voice getting louder and louder. The First Palace held many of her and Philip’s memories. She still remembered when Philip bought her the diamond ring for the first time. She still remembered the wedding photoshoot with Philip there. She also remembered witnessing Philip’s changes along the way. However, now everything had changed and became out of control. Beacon Group was in complete control of the two uncles. Everyone on the board of directors had been changed to their people, and even the security personnel in the villa had been replaced. In short, Wynn and her family had no place to return to in Riverdale now. Moreover, the second uncle, Martin Johnston, also filed a lawsuit against Wynn’s family. He was accusing Wynn of embezzling company funds to purchase the First Palace in Longford Park. The board of directors then made the decision to officially dismiss Wynn. On the other hand, the third uncle, Bernard Johnsto
Philip raised his eyebrows, stared at Martha, and said in a grim voice, “Martha, since you’re not well enough yet, you shouldn’t swagger around too much. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee that you can return to Riverdale in one piece.” After saying that, Philip turned around and left the suite. Martha was instantly angry and pointed at Philip's back as he left. She yelled with a face full of hatred, “Charles Johnston, just look at Philip Clarke! What does he mean by that? Huh? He’s not even treating me as a human being!” Philip left the suite and came to the hotel lobby. He dialed Theo Zander’s phone number and his respectful voice sounded from the other end. “Mr. Clarke, how may I help you?” “You’re not in Riverdale?” Philip asked coldly. Theo quickly replied, “Yes, Mr. Clarke. Something has happened in the Penhart Region. The last chamber of commerce caused an adverse chain reaction. Several forces are eager to destroy the chamber of commerce alliance that you finally managed to
Philip just glanced at him without shaking hands and asked Lynn instead, “Your new boyfriend?” Toby’s hand froze in mid-air as he narrowed his eyes a little. He smiled awkwardly and withdrew his hand. Lynn, on the other hand, looked at Philip smugly and said, “Yes, how about it? My boyfriend is a band three lawyer with an annual salary of ten million dollars! He runs a law firm and is famous in Riverdale! He even has friends in Uppercreek!” When Lynn said this, her face could not contain her triumph like a child eager to show off her toys. Philip frowned and looked at Toby, who was still smiling faintly. However, Philip had caught the chill in his eyes just now. Hehe, he wanted to see what kind of a person this lawyer was. “Tell me why you asked me to meet up,” Philip asked as he settled into his seat naturally. Lynn tilted her head, looked in the direction of the door, and asked, “Why isn’t Wynn here?” “She’s not feeling well. I’m here on her behalf. You can talk to me
“Mr. Clarke, it's useless for you to intimidate Lynn. I hope you can consider this matter carefully and decide on the best course of action for Madam Wynn Johnston,” Toby said with a smile. In his eyes, Philip was nothing more than a dodgy little punk. Since just now, Toby thought he had Philip figured out. He was nothing to be afraid of! Philip smiled, looked at Toby with scorching eyes, and asked, “Where is the incriminating evidence you mentioned? My wife is a good law-abiding citizen. How could she have embezzled company funds? Don't frame her.” Toby already expected that Philip would ask this question. He took out another document, handed it to Philip, and said, “This is the bank transfer record. You can see it for yourself.” Philip frowned, took the document, and glanced at it. His expression instantly darkened. These records happened within two months, and each transaction was as large as millions and as small as tens of thousands. “Mr. Clarke, we won’t unjustly
Hearing this, Toby’s expression changed in an instant as his gaze turned grim. Bam! He slammed the table, got up, and pointed at Philip while roaring, “Are you trying to scare me? Are you saying that someone will come to arrest me? Hehe, you should know that I’m a band three lawyer. I have many friends in the Uppercreek law circle!” Philip chuckled. “Yeah, that sounds great, but I wonder if you can scrape through this. Since you said so, I'll tell you that in the next ten minutes, everything you have will all fall apart. Starting with you. Your law license will be revoked and your law firm will be investigated for shady business. Then, all those friends of yours will start to shun you. Finally, your reputation will be ruined.” Hahaha! Toby laughed aloud. With his face full of chills and a menacing smile at the corners of his mouth, he said, “Ridiculous! Do you think I’ll be afraid of you with just these few words of yours? You’re still too immature to destroy me! “I can tel
There was a brief silence on the line before a roar sounded. “Holton Law Firm? Let me tell you, Donald, even their founder has to be polite when he sees that person! That ignorant Little family actually dared to mess with him. They must be tired of living!” Click! The call disconnected! Donald was dumbfounded as his hand which held the phone shook. It was over. Something had happened! That person? Toby Little must have provoked someone! Without hesitation, Donald immediately dialed the phone number and said, “Organize a small team and conduct an investigation on Tobias Law Firm immediately! Remember, make it quick and keep it confidential!” After saying that, he immediately informed his assistant and said, “Immediately issue a notice to revoke Toby Little's law license.” “Yes, Mr. Jones.” The assistant was about to leave after speaking. “Wait!” Donald exclaimed. His face darkened as he said, “Notify the Little family and tell them about this matter.” Donald wanted
What? His law license had been revoked? Toby was stunned and rooted on the spot, the corners of his mouth trembling. “Mr. Jones, are you hungover? Do you know what you're talking about?” Toby frowned and asked coldly. What was this Donald Jones doing? However, Donald said on the other end of the line, “Toby, I’m not joking with you. After investigation, we’ve decided to revoke your law license. At the same time, your law firm will also be investigated. You should get ready. This time, it’s entirely up to you if you can weather this storm. I can’t help you.” When Toby heard this, his heart thumped. He asked anxiously, “Donald, tell me, is someone messing with me? Is it Godfrey Hart and his people?” Toby was annoyed! When something like this happened out of the blue, there was only one explanation—his rival had made a move against him! However... Donald said, “I’m not sure who it is exactly. I can only tell you that this time, the order was personally given by Mr. W
“Are you Toby Little? Your law firm has been seized and all documents and hard drives have been taken away by us. We’re officially issuing a warrant for your arrest.” Hearing this, the cold sweat on Toby’s body dripped! What? The company was being investigated? All the documents and hard disks were taken away? Oh no! He was in trouble now! All his secrets could not be kept under wraps now. Those documents and hard drives contained evidence of his corruption! At this point, Toby could no longer stay calm. His hand holding the phone also started to tremble violently! He fell back on the seat, his eyes staring ahead blankly. His body was shaking all over! He raised his head, stared at Philip, and roared, “Did you do all this?” How did this happen? Who the hell was he? How could he have such terrifying power? In just ten minutes, Philip had his law license revoked and even his company was being investigated! Philip chuckled, his eyes looking indifferent as he
“He lost his family when their enemies sought revenge while he was very young, so he's quite pitiful in a way.” Philip was not concerned about it. The life story of a loser had nothing to do with him. Moreover, Bryce was clearly up to no good. Getting to know him was a waste of time. “I found all the information he researched. To be honest, I’d think highly of him if he weren't up to no good.” Rabbit waved his paw smugly. He had looked through Bryce’s things and knew exactly what he had researched. Philip looked at a bottle of potion and could tell everything at a glance. “He’s a genius, indeed, but there’s no saving someone with bad intentions.” Philip shook his head helplessly. Bryce could only blame his bad luck for encountering them today. Carlos quickly took care of Bryce. There was no point in keeping such an evil villain. There was no need to be charitable in this situation. Adam looked at the room and sighed helplessly at Bryce’s unfortunate end. Although he had
Philip was curious about this situation. Since he could not get any information from the stubborn hooded man, he would find out indirectly. “That’s enough. Take him away. He has no value to us anyway. It's better to send him away.,” Philip said with disdain and did not take him seriously at all. The hooded man was shocked to hear that Philip was sending him away. He was nervous and afraid that Philip would do something to him. Although he was selfish and unreasonable, he was also a coward and afraid of death. Everyone sighed helplessly at his mournful wails. Adam closed his eyes, unwilling to get involved. Seeing this, Philip believed that Adam was unwilling to pay attention to his nephew, but he was still curious. If they were closely related, why would this guy's family sever all ties with Adam? It was advantageous to be on good terms with Adam. Not only would they receive guidance on practice, but they could also listen to his lectures from time to time. For example,
Philip and the old monk greeted each other happily as if they were old friends. Carlos was surprised to see Philip on such good terms with the high and mighty old monk. This was something he had never even dared to dream about. It was unbelievable that he could sit and drink happily with the old monk one day. “Let me introduce my friends.” Philip calmly introduced everyone around him, ignoring Carlos’ anxiety. Carlos stood up when he saw the old monk. “Hello, my name is Carlos. I admire you very much. I never thought that I'd be able to meet you one day. It’s my honor.” Carlos was happy and excited to get more perks than the guild leader. The old monk was quite friendly. After greeting Carlos with a smile, he looked at Philip curiously, wondering what he was up to. “I want to find out if you know someone.” After saying this, Philip asked Carlos to bring the hooded man out. The guy was tied up tightly and looked pitiful. More importantly, his clothes had been stripped off,
The hooded man woke up very soon, and he could not believe that Philip caught him. “What's going on? How did you catch me? This is impossible.” He was very confident in himself and knew that no one could catch him so easily, but reality had just proven him wrong. He had no choice but to believe it. “What's impossible? You underestimate me too much!” Rabbit snapped furiously. “What’s your name?” Philip stared at the man curiously. He had a feeling that this person was the same as the old monk. “Rabbit, call the old monk over. I want to speak to him. He may not know you, so you need to tell him who you are.” After interrogating this man, Philip wanted to speak to the old monk and find out his opinion about this hooded man. Since the two gave him the same feeling, they had to be connected somehow. Rabbit hopped over to find the old monk. He knew that the old monk was the best referral for this matter because he was very powerful and knowledgeable. The old monk was resting
On the other hand, Lincoln was shocked to find that Hogster was dead. Lincoln had been watching the situation and knew that Philip was a powerful person. Everything was most likely related to Philip. However, he never thought that Philip could make people stronger. He had heard of some special circumstances that could improve someone’s strength. He had roughly guessed the implications but never paid much attention to the matter. In his opinion, the Hexa Guild was already ruined. If he wanted to save the guild, he had to get rid of Alain and his people. Lincoln had lost trust in the guild. If he had not left his seclusion by chance, he would not have bothered about anything. “Forget it. Stop throwing your weight around. Since your son died a tragic death, I won’t make things difficult for you,” Carlos said in disdain.He knew what Alain had done, so he did not have a good impression of him. Although his remark sounded a little hurtful, it felt good to say it. The other guil
“What do we do with him?” Carlos asked. He wanted to skin the hooded man alive. Rabbit bared his teeth. “Kill him! Take off his clothes and hang him outside for everyone to see!” At this time, Alain finally noticed the commotion on this side. They were very noisy, so everyone kept looking over, trying to see what happened. Alain saw a familiar man lying on the ground. “What’s going on?” He walked over for a closer look and saw the hooded man! “What’s this? How could this happen?” Alain was dumbfounded. The onlookers had been watching, so they knew the situation. “What happened?” Alain asked in agony, wondering what happened. A kind onlooker explained, “Oh, don’t you know? That rabbit knocked the hooded man out!” Alain was taken aback by that remark. “How is that possible?” Alain was full of disbelief and thought someone had done something behind the scenes. Although he knew that the rabbit was powerful, he did not think it was strong enough to deal with the hooded
“You went too far! I’m well-respected wherever I go. How dare you treat me as a pet?” Although Rabbit had lost his memories after turning into an inanimate puppet, he could still deduce what had happened from Philip’s remarks. The hooded man was embarrassed to hear a rabbit reprimanding him. “If I can take you as my pet, that’s just a testament to my ability. If Philip couldn’t control you, what’s the big deal if I took you for my own?” The hooded man had always seen Rabbit as a pet, never a friend. Rabbit’s only purpose was to entertain him and fight for him. “Philip, leave this guy to me.” Rabbit was eager to take care of this guy. Carlos glared at the hooded man, certain that he had never seen him before. The hooded man also turned his attention to Carlos. From the match earlier, he knew that Carlos was from the Celestial Palace. In that case, he would have no reservations. He wanted to get to know someone from the Celestial Palace anyway. He ignored Philip and Rabbit
“What?” Carlos suddenly felt that maybe that rabbit in the hooded man's arms was Philip’s pet. “Stay here. I’ll take a closer look. I have a feeling that the guy is more than meets the eye. I think he was the one sneaking around my house.” After saying this, Philip walked over briskly. He had never seen such an arrogant thief. The guy was bold enough to appear in public after stealing someone’s rabbit. “Did you steal that rabbit from me?” Philip approached that man and asked solemnly without beating about the bush. The hooded man was taken aback by Philip's direct approach. “When did you appear behind me?” The hooded man was horrified to know that someone had snuck up behind him without his knowledge. It was as if Philip was immaterial. Feeling Philip's strength, the hooded man dared not say another word. He thought he was undefeatable, which was why he decided to watch the fun in person, but he got careless. “Are you saying that this rabbit belongs to you? Why don’t you
Jeff sneered at this scene and knew that it was time for payback. He did not plan to kill Hogster at first. After all, he was the young heir of a guild and represented the Hexa Guild. However, Hogster had pissed him off thoroughly. He had to kill Hogster at all costs. Thinking of this, Jeff raised the sword in his hand and stabbed Hogster. With that, everything was over. Alain closed his eyes at this scene. He shook his head in helpless agony. Due to the technique that he practiced, he could not have another child. Although he had been working hard to groom Hogster over the years, he had not stopped trying to get another child either. However, none of the women could get pregnant! Hogster was his only child so far. Unfortunately, his only son was dead. Under Jeff’s attack, he turned into dust and vanished without a trace! “How did things turn out this way?” Alain aged drastically all of a sudden and looked very haggard. The hooded man watched the scene warily, shocked
