Philip quickly ran to the small garden before he returned the call. Very soon, the call connected. It was a hearty male voice accompanied by sounds of other voices. He seemed to be at a party. “Philip, please hold on.” After that, the man on the other line seemed to gradually move away from the crowded area to a quiet place. “What did you find out?” Philip was anxious. He finally heard from Fennel after so long, and he had been in Fernvale recently. He must be investigating the task he had given him. “I found it,” the man on the line spoke with a hoarse voice, obviously different from the frivolous persona just now. “The reason why the Larson family of Fernvale withdrew from the mainland is inseparable from the Wallis family. The person behind the scenes should be Giada Wallis.” Giada? Philip frowned. He had long guessed that this was the case. “However, I found something else.” On the other end, Fennel said solemnly, “There seems to be someone else behind Gia
“Excuse me, but we’re busy.” Wynn smiled apologetically, not wanting to argue with someone like Muriel. During college, Wynn already knew that Muriel was a snobby and selfish person. “Hehe, why? Did I touch on a sore spot?” Muriel crossed her arms over her chest with a disdainful look, glanced at Philip, and sneered, “Wynn, I don’t want to talk bad about you, but you’re the campus belle after all. How could you actually marry him? Just look at him. Your man looks exactly like a loafer.” “Watch your words. He’s my husband!” Wynn said angrily, her face grim. However, instead of listening, Muriel sneered even louder and grabbed the little clothes in Wynn's hand. She said, “Hey, these are branded goods. Can you afford them? Are children born to parents with income disparity like you worthy of branded names?” Worthy? Of course not! In Muriel’s eyes, Wynn belonged to the lower echelons of society. Since two years ago, she had long heard about Philip’s trashiness. It was j
Philip chastised Muriel relentlessly! Muriel just stared at Philip blankly. She never expected this guy to have such a way with words! “Do you think you can do as you please just because you have foreign citizenship? You can insult people? Who gave you the right?” Philip yelled loudly. Muriel dared not rebuke. This was because the crowd around them had started talking about this, even criticizing Muriel! “Yes! A few days ago, there was news that several foreigners did not abide by the traffic regulations. They only received verbal warnings, but our locals were fined!” “Why are they treated differently? We should be equal!” “This b*tch really thinks that she’s so great! She’s just a foreign-idolizing turncoat!” In the crowd, the discussion completely exploded. Muriel had aroused public outrage. “You! What do country bumpkins like you know? Foreigners are better than you. They’re more cultured than any of you!” Muriel retorted doggedly as she pointed at everyone. As
The two lost their mood for shopping, so they decided to return to the villa. As soon as they returned, Wynn took advantage of the time when Philip was playing with Mila to run back to the bedroom. She took out the USB flash drive on the bedside table. After thinking about it, she went to the study, switched on the computer, and inserted the flash drive. It was a video. Wynn clicked on it apprehensively. It was also at this time that Philip suddenly came in while carrying the antenatal medicine. He said with a smile, “What are you busy with? It’s time for your medication.” Wynn forced out a smile and quickly switched to a different tab. “Nothing much, just looking at some numbers.” Philip glanced at her screen. He noticed the USB flash drive but did not say anything. After Wynn had taken the medicine, Philip showed no signs of leaving the room. The atmosphere in the room became a bit awkward. At this time, cries from Mila sounded downstairs, accompanied by Martha’s
Martha was in an absolute panic now. Philip seemed like he was being very serious. He dared to demand money from her! “Wynnie, Wynnie, just look at him. What the hell is Philip trying to do? Is he really going to take it that far?” Martha pulled on Wynn as she wailed and sobbed. This trick had been used repeatedly. However... Today, Martha had played the wrong cards. With Mila in her arms, Wynn turned around, glared at Martha, and said coldly, “Mom, I’ve had enough of you. Don’t look for my help today. I won’t speak on your behalf anymore.” With that said, Wynn took Mila and sat in the corner, watching the scene. Right now, Martha was truly abandoned by her family. She sat on the ground and started kicking up a big fuss. “Philip Clarke, I’m your mother-in-law, after all. Are you really going to kick me out? Are you still human? “You’ve been in the Johnston family for so many years, eating our food and living in our house. Am I not kind enough to you? I just beat
Philip explained no further.Here, several security guards received the order and rushed into the bedroom immediately. They quickly moved out all the belongings of Martha and Charles. At the door, the truck from the relocation company had also arrived. In less than 20 minutes, everything belonging to Martha and Charles was emptied from the villa. Martha and Charles stood at the gates of the villa. The latter sighed with emotion and shook his head helplessly. Martha was reluctant. She stared at the villa with tears in her eyes and sobbed. “Charles, talk to Philip. I don’t want to move away from here.” However, Charles paid her no heed, shook his head, and said, “Let’s go. What else do you want? He’s already kicked us out. It’s all because of you!” Martha finally got to live in a villa after much difficulty. She refused to leave so easily. She wiped her tears, hardened her resolve, and ran in front of Philip. She bent her knees and knelt with a thud! She knelt! Martha Ya
With that sentence, the temperature in the house dropped. Martha was flustered. Was she supposed to drug them again? “No, Madam Wallis, I’m afraid I can’t do this anymore. The last time… Philip found out about it, and…” Martha stammered her refusal. Smack! With a forceful slap, Giada stared at Martha coldly through her sunglasses, exuding a biting chill. She said, “You didn’t complete the task last time. Not coming after you is already a gift to you. How dare you refuse now?” This time, Martha covered her face, lowered her head, and dared not say anything else. The intensity was too overwhelming! Just one look from Giada and Martha was trembling all over, drenched in a cold sweat. “What… What is it?” In the end, Martha could not withstand Giada’s aura and asked weakly. Giada said mildly, “During Wynn’s next pregnancy check, I want to know the gender of the baby. If it’s a boy, let Wynn take this.” With that, the bodyguard next to Giada immediately took out a small
Muriel was also around at this time. She was sitting on Carr’s lap while saying coquettishly, “Dear, won’t you do it for me? Let’s get back at her for my sake, okay?”Carr spread his hands and looked helpless. He spoke in a heavy accent, “Muriel, Beacon Group is one of the few large companies in Riverdale. Moreover, they’ll soon launch a new drug in the market that will bring new blood to the pharmaceutical industry. I can’t just issue a drug prohibition order to them because of personal enmity. It violates my work ethics.” “No way! I can’t stand that Wynn Johnston! She just got the position of chairwoman, right? No wonder she was so smug the other day!” Muriel was adamant, so she got off Carr’s lap and said bitterly, “You must help me in this matter. Otherwise, I’ll send the evidence of your affairs with those little vixens in the association to your workgroup!” When Carr heard this, he was angry. With his face flushed red, he said, “Muriel, have you been investigating me?” M
“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
“What's going on? What drug did he take? It’s so powerful!” Jeff exclaimed in horror. All his attacks were ineffective, so what about Hogster’s attacks? At this time, Hogster attacked Jeff. His invincible mode would only last a few minutes. He had to seize the opportunity to take Jeff down. However, Hogster was not worried at all. In his opinion, dealing with Jeff was just a matter of seconds. “Go to hell!” Hogster made his move. He launched a killing move without holding back at all. Jeff was no match for Hogster at all. He was sent flying and fell to the ground miserably. Everyone looked at him with pity. Jeff spat a mouthful of blood and looked at Hogster in horror. Hogster had become so strong that he was no match for him at all. “Hehe, is that all you can take?” Hogster sneered. He was about to kill Jeff when the latter took out a pill from his pocket and swallowed it. It was the same pill he had taken earlier. Sure enough, Jeff was back to normal after taking
“Wow, I feel so good as if I just had a massage.” Jeff praised Philip in his mind. After taking the pill, he recovered instantly. Even the ailments he had been suffering from in the past were healed. He was in such good shape that he could face Hogster with no problem. He even felt that he could resist Hogster’s attack this time. Philip nodded. Jeff was quite good. He had thought that Jeff was already defeated and would not even be able to move. However, Jeff forced himself to take out a pill and swallowed it. “He’s quite good at persevering and has a bright future. You can consider grooming him,” Philip said to Jamie. Jamie was surprised to hear such a high assessment from Philip. Jamie attached great importance to Philip's suggestion. Since Philip said so, he would develop Jeff properly. “Aren’t you very full of yourself? Keep going.” Jeff rushed forward and started beating Hogster up. Hogster was already dying and could not put up a fight at all. “Stop!” Hogste
The Hexa Guild had lost the earlier match, so Hogster was upset about it. Their guild should be undefeatable. They should have made a name for themselves by now, but everything was ruined. Although Hogster did not know why the Celestial Palace was so powerful, he had a feeling that they were cheating. “I’m the pride of the Hexa Guild while you’re just an ordinary member. Don't even think about resisting me,” Hogster said calmly, clearly looking down on Jeff. Of course, Jeff was not to be outdone. “My favorite hobby is to beat someone while they're down. Your guild's reputation is so bad anyway. Why bother holding on to it?” His remark struck the Hexa Guild’s sore spot, and all the members scowled at him. Indeed, the Hexa Guild had a very bad reputation. They could only recruit ordinary people who could not join other guilds but yearned to practice. “Hehe, cut the crap. We’ll know the outcome after a fight!” After saying this, Hogster charged at Jeff with a weapon in han
It would do the Hexa Guild no good to keep Vanna alive, so they would not allow it to happen. Although the members of the Hexa Guild were angry, they quickly cheered up. There would be several matches with the Celestial Palace to go. They could not lose their fighting spirit because of this trivial matter. “Let’s see how powerful the Celestial Palace is. I refuse to believe that we’re no match for them.” Hogster decided to take the stage because the upcoming opponent was just an ordinary member of the Celestial Palace. They were not very strong. In his opinion, an ordinary member could not be very strong. It would be easy to win this match, and it would save him a lot of trouble too. It would be bad if he faced a dark horse like the previous match. The hooded man saw the performance of the Celestial Palace and was surprised by their extraordinary strength. However, he did not notice anything unusual. He simply thought that it was their usual strength. Since they were so str
“This is interesting.” The hooded man glanced at the people discussing this matter and felt expectant. He could not wait to meet Philip. On the other hand, Philip was watching the competition and had no idea what was going on. “Oh, I see, you’re the young lady of the Celestial Palace. I thought you were very powerful, but this is all there is to you.” Vanna’s opponent was an ugly woman who was very upset with her beautiful appearance. Vanna looked at her mockingly. “The outcome has yet to be determined. I don’t think you’re any better either.” After saying this, Vanna looked at the other party, waiting for her to make the first move. The ugly woman was furious at Vanna’s provocation. “Very well. Since you don’t know what’s good for you, let me show you what I’m capable of!” After saying this, she attacked Vanna as if she were ready to get rid of her. She had received an order from the guild leader to deal with Vanna properly. The Hexa Guild had initially planned to qu
