After being silent for a while, Philip threw away his cigarette. He walked out of the hospital and got into a Benz that was parked in front of the entrance.The car drove slowly in the night, passing the main road of Riverdale. Then, it crossed Scarlet Bridge and went into the darkness of the hillside. After that, it drove along the mountainous road and stopped at a manor at the peak of Mount Cirrus.Cirrus Manor.It was the most extravagant and valuable manor in Riverdale.The construction cost alone was one billion bucks!They had hollowed half of the mountain for this manor.Construction started seven years ago. It took three years to finish.A lot of manpower, resources, and money were spent on this huge project.The most mysterious thing about this manor was that no one knew who the owner of this manor was.There were rumors that the owner of this manor was extremely rich and powerful.Some powerful people even said that anyone who was a guest of the manor would be a gia
“What are you trying to do?” Philip’s face turned cold, and he started feeling anxious.He knew about Giada’s methods. This woman would not hesitate to get rid of her rivals—including her own son.When he was eight, she asked someone to run over him with a car.There was only one reason. It was because she was afraid that he might be the obstacle in her process of taking over the Clarkes.A tiger, though cruel, would not devour its cubs.However, in Giada’s eyes, power was her only priority.When Giada mentioned Philip’s marriage and his daughter, he started to panic.This was also the main reason why Philip had not exposed his identity.“Don’t worry, they’re the daughter-in-law and bloodline of the Clarkes. If you beg me, I’ll let them go.” Giada’s smile would give anyone a bone-piercing chill. It was extremely offensive.“I’m warning you, don’t you dare touch Wynn and Mila. If not, I’ll make you regret this,” Philip said coldly.Giada chuckled calmly. She took out two embro
She was Aunt Paula's only child. She was aloof and looked down on everyone.When they were young, Samantha had been jealous of Wynn. No matter what it was, she had to compare herself to Wynn."Cousin, please give us a short while. We'll be ready soon," Wynn said apologetically.Samantha raised the corners of her lips with a presumptuous look on her face. She shouted at Philip, "Get out of the way, useless piece of trash. Why are you standing there?!"Philip smiled and stepped out of her way in silence.Samantha pushed him abruptly, patted her hands on her clothes in disgust, and muttered, "You stink." After Samantha swaggered away, the entire family was not in the best mood.Martha slammed her hand on the table and started cursing, "What does Samantha mean?! What a b*tch! She dares come to my house and complain about it! What does she have to show for? Her rich husband? She even said that our house smells musty. I’m so mad!"Martha’s anger erupted like a volcano.She had anti
Samantha was so full of herself.When she saw Wynn's long face, she became even more prideful. "Wynnie, how can you let Philip buy this kind of gift for Grandpa? If you don’t have the money, you can let me know. After all, I’m your cousin."With that said, Samantha took out her LV wallet from her Gucci bag, pulled out a bank card, and handed it to Wynn. "Hey, consider this my treat. There should be at least 10,000 dollars in this card. It’s whatever was left after Frank bought me a handbag. Take it and get something decent for Grandpa. You don’t need to pay me back. This is just a small sum for me.”Samantha’s expression at that moment was full of arrogance.In her eyes, Wynn was a joke."Thanks, Samantha." Before Wynn could speak, Philip reached out and took the card from Samantha while smiling faintly.Samantha snorted and shook her head helplessly. ‘How can one be so shameless?’Wynn glared at Philip. She was just about to speak, but Philip held her hand and said with a smile
Bob did not bother to put a stop to it at all. After all, he strongly disliked Philip, so he had to teach him a lesson. That piece of trash needed to be made aware that not anyone can step into the door of the Yates family."Grandpa, it’s unsure when the others will be arriving. You should get some rest. I'll wait for them here."Eric, who was next to Bob, said that and put on a very well-behaved appearance. Usually, Eric had a cold temperament and was arrogant from head to toe.Bob nodded, looked at his little grandson fondly, and walked into the yard with the help of Eric and his walking stick that was made out of black wood inlaid with gold thread.After he sent Bob in, Eric walked out again.At this time, several youngsters stood at the door. They were all the younger generations of the Yates family."Eric, what’s the plan?"A young man, full of arrogance and dressed in expensive clothes, said.He was the youngest son of Peter Yates, the eldest of the Yates family. His name
Everyone was dumbfounded with what Philip had just said!Philip, a useless bum, dared to speak to Eric like that?That was unexpected!This good-for-nothing was fighting back!They were in the Yates Courtyard, which was ruled by the Yates family!Did he not consider the consequences of his actions?Eric's face immediately sank. He had an arrogant attitude and said angrily, "Philip, you dare berate me like that? You are a useless son-in-law of the Johnston family. Who do you think you are to talk to me like this? Who are you to be here today for Grandpa’s birthday celebration? I won't let you pass this door today! Useless piece of sh*t, who do you think you are?!"Eric was annoyed. He had not expected a good-for-nothing like Philip to berate him like that.It was an insult to him and an insult to the Yates family!Aaron immediately agreed with Eric. He pointed at Philip arrogantly and screamed, "Hurry up and apologize to Eric. Otherwise, you will not be welcomed in the Yates Co
Martha also panicked, especially when she saw Philip's furious expression just now.‘What’s with this wimp’s change of attitude recently? He even dared to talk back to me a couple of times.’Eric was beyond joyful. He had not fully pulled out his bag of tricks and the Johnston family already started fighting among themselves.It seemed that Martha really disliked Philip. He could take advantage of this.Martha glared at Philip, pulled Charles, and went into the compound.Samantha was long gone. She was by Paula's side. Her eyebrows were twitching as she observed this slapstick coldly.‘Wynn, oh Wynn, you have such a sad life. You married a good-for-nothing.’Samantha muttered a few words in her heart and was about to turn around and go in.However, when Wynn led Philip to enter, Eric stopped them again."Wynn, as I said just now, Philip is not worthy of entering the door of the Yates family!" Eric's nostrils were tilted upward. He looked very arrogant.In his eyes, Philip was
Philip sat next to Wynn and naturally noticed Eric and Aaron walking over. They had a devious smile on their faces.“Philip, why are you sitting in the outer courtyard near the door? This is where I used to feed my dog.”Eric looked at Philip and smirked coldly. There was a glint of sarcasm in his eyes.Wynn’s face went red. She wanted to stand up but a huge hand stopped her.Philip smiled calmly. “The outer courtyard and the hall are the same. It depends on who’s the one sitting at which location to eat. Plus, the hall belongs to the Yates. I don’t care for it.”Philip had been holding in for so long. He did not mind being arrogant for a bit.Most importantly, Eric was too hateful. He just had to create something out of nothing.“Hehe, you’re really something else. You even know how to brag. You’re just a piece of trash. We’re doing charity by letting you eat on a table in the house with the rest of the Yates. Do you understand, you worthless wretch?!” Eric scoffed. Jess frow
