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
"Last time, that Lynn you mentioned was pretty good. She’s so full of life. I also brought her over this time and the guest appointed her to accompany them," Nino said with a lustful tone. "Hearing from you, she also has a cousin. Wynn something? She’s a famous beauty in our city, a young married woman. Bring her here too. Maybe the guests will like her too. Two sisters... Surely there will be interest."Dick immediately understood and replied, “Master Nino, don't worry. That little girl owes us 100,000 dollars. I heard her cousin is also short on money for her daughter’s surgery recently.""Very good. Do it now." Master Nino laughed.Philip frowned. He thought that only Lynn was involved with this. Unexpectedly, they wanted to drag Wynn into this matter as well!Then, they should not blame him for being rude!As such, Philip did not leave. He stopped, turned around, and walked to Nino with a cold expression on his face."I say, what's the problem? Why haven't you handled this ki
Theo quickly said, “I’ll be there right away, Mr. Clarke.”Once he hung up, Theo took a sharp intake of breath. He was somewhat nervous and even a bit panicked.Did Nino Gil get on Mr. Clarke’s bad side?Well, he had it coming!Over the years, Theo had long since gotten fed up with Nino. The latter was too meddlesome for his own good.Besides, Nino had grown unhappy with his lot too. He was already pulling all sorts of strings in secret to mess with Theo’s territory.Theo just let it slide so far because both of them came from equally powerful backgrounds. Any wars between them should be fought in secret, or so Theo thought.Today, though, Nino had clearly poked the hornets’ nest.In that case, Theo figured, why not give him an extra push for good measure? That way, he could put an end to Nino for good.With that in mind, Theo immediately made a phone call.In the blink of an eye, at least a dozen people leaped to action as a result of that call!All of them were Theo’s clos
The air in the bar right now was eerily cold and heavy.All of a sudden!One of Nino’s lackeys ran over to his boss and whispered into Nino’s ear, “Master Nino, Mr. Thomas’ secretary, Mr. Thane is here. He says he needs to meet you urgently.”“Mr. Thane?” Nino immediately leaped to his feet, beside himself with excitement. “What are you waiting for? Let’s go greet Mr. Thane!”His lackeys opened a path in front of him.Nino was clearly exhilarated. After all, that was the Mr. Julian Thane, chief secretary to the richest man in the city, George Thomas.It was quite the honor to have him here on Nino’s turf!There was a saying in Riverdale. Where Mr. Thane went, there went George Thomas’s will.However…Before Nino could approach Julian, the latter had already walked into the bar with the young blonde-haired, blue-eyed secretary in tow.Who would dare stand in his way?“Oh my, Mr. Thane! It’s been such a long time, how rare to see you here! What winds of fortune blew you here
