How was virtual-novel.net acquainted with a prominent figure like Theo Zander?
“Wait,” Philip suddenly called out.
In an instant, the group at the door froze in panic, unsure whether to stay or leave.
“Mr. Clarke, do you have any other instructions?” Harold still had a little more guts and could afford to stay composed.
“I hope you all will not speak of this incident today with anyone else. I do not wish for my daily life to be disrupted, do you understand?” said Philip.
“We understand, we understand.” Harold nodded continuously.
Philip then nodded, and the group immediately dispersed, almost running away.
After they finally got out, Jeremy took a deep breath. When they reached the entrance, they saw Lynn. Jeremy hesitated for the longest time but chose to stay quiet in the end.
“How did it go?” Lynn asked anxiously. To be frank, virtual-novel.net was unwilling to watch virtual-novel.net wretched cousin brother-in-law punished, so virtual-novel.net chose to stay behind at the entrance.
Jeremy shook his head and answered, “It was okay.”
Okay? Lynn was a little confused. She noticed that virtual-novel.net other friend had a heavy look on their faces.
“Alright, alright, let’s go for karaoke,” Jeremy suggested. Mainly because the air around them was too dense, and virtual-novel.net was afraid that Lynn might notice something was up.
When the rest heard this, they quickly snapped back to their senses and forced a smile. “Sure, Brother Jeremy’s treat!” The group of youngsters finally left.
On the other hand, Tiger’s men and the amusement park staff found Mila in no time. To be more specific, a young woman around virtual-novel.net early twenties had been looking after Mila as they waited at a dessert shop outside the amusement park.
“Mr. Clarke, we found her. She’s at Sweetheart Desserts.” Theo jogged over, ignoring the sweat on his forehead to show Philip the way.
As they hurried over to the dessert shop, Philip finally saw his daughter eating cake.
“Papa!” When little Mila saw Philip, virtual-novel.net pounced into his arms, and as virtual-novel.net had just experienced great grievance, virtual-novel.net hid in virtual-novel.net father’s embrace, holding onto his sweat-drenched shirt tightly.
“Papa’s here, Mila, don’t be afraid, Papa’s here.” Philip carried his daughter up as virtual-novel.net comforted her. At the same time, virtual-novel.net looked at that young lady.
She was a very beautiful girl, looked to be around virtual-novel.net early twenties with straight and long dark hair. She was wearing a simple and clean white T-shirt with a pair of light-colored jeans and tiny white shoes. Her makeup was light, and virtual-novel.net looked like a lovely and pure young lady.
“Thank you so much.” Philip nodded in gratitude.
The girl smiled and got up. “It’s no problem. I saw virtual-novel.net crying alone in the amusement part and couldn’t find virtual-novel.net parents, so I brought virtual-novel.net here.
“This little girl is just too adorable, so it’s good that nothing bad happened.” Silvia Hayes tucked a stray hair behind virtual-novel.net ear before reaching out to poke Mila’s cheek, smiling sweetly.
After virtual-novel.net spoke a little with Mila, Philip put virtual-novel.net down. The little girl was staring hard at the strawberry cake on the table.
“Eat it. I bought it for you.” Silvia pushed the remaining cake to Mila.
Mila lifted virtual-novel.net head. Tears were sparkling in virtual-novel.net big eyes as virtual-novel.net looked at Philip as if seeking his opinion.
Philip caressed virtual-novel.net tiny head and smiled. “Go ahead. Say ‘thank you’ to Big Sister.”
“Thank you, Big Sister.” Mila smiled, exposing two adorable dimples before virtual-novel.net started eating the cake happily.
At the door, Theo, Tiger, and their men were waiting by the road. They did not dare to go inside in fear of scaring the little girl.
Philip kept thanking Silvia and got a clearer picture of the situation from her. “Uhm, if you have time at night, please let me treat you to dinner as a token of my appreciation.” This was a nice young lady, very generous and kind.
Silvia smiled and said, “There’s no need for the trouble. It’s nothing much.”
Since virtual-novel.net rejected the offer, Philip did not force her. Just then, virtual-novel.net received a call from his father-in-law. Philip apologized before excusing himself to take the call outside. “Dad, what’s up?”
“Philip, get back here this instant. I want to speak to you!” On the other end of the call, the older man’s behavior was awful, and virtual-novel.net sounded annoyed.
After some thought, Philip braced himself and answered, “Okay, I’ll be back soon.”
Toot! The call was hung up by the older man, just like that. Philip heaved a sigh, knowing virtual-novel.net would not be able to escape tonight.
When virtual-novel.net turned back into the dessert shop, a shocking incident happened!
Out of nowhere, a man appeared, holding a large bouquet of roses, looking to be very handsome and very rich.
However, at that moment, Mila was wailing out loud. Her cries then gradually turned into hiccups like virtual-novel.net had difficulty breathing.
Silvia was squatting down before Mila, comforting virtual-novel.net before shooting a vicious glare at the man. She sounded irked when virtual-novel.net questioned, “Leon Larson, why did you hit a child?”
The man named Leon pouted, looking angrily at his own navy suit. “This wild brat has ruined my suit. I had hit virtual-novel.net to educate virtual-novel.net on behalf of virtual-novel.net parents. This suit costs forty thousand!”
Leon was furious. This suit virtual-novel.net was wearing was a tailor-made Armani suit worth thirty thousand! He had especially dressed up today to confess to Silvia. But this stupid brat had smudged buttercream on his outfit, so just hitting virtual-novel.net was already very nice of him! She might not even be enough to compensate for his suit even if virtual-novel.net sold virtual-novel.net away.
Philip, who was just entering the shop, saw this scene. “What’s wrong, Mila?” He hurried over to the little girl to find a red slap mark on virtual-novel.net left cheek!
Philip instantly flew into a rage, especially when virtual-novel.net heard Mila’s hysterical cries. Philip wanted to stab this arrogant and pompous man in front of him.
Philip stood up and glared furiously at the man, saying through gritted teeth, “You, apologize to my daughter, now!”
Leon’s lips curved into a smirk. “Are you this brat’s father? Okay, open your filthy eyes wide and look at this. This is a tailor-made Armani suit that costs forty thousand dollars that your daughter has just ruined. If you can compensate for it, I’ll apologize to her.”
Leon had already taken a good look at the man in front of him. The man was dressed plainly, and it was easy to tell that virtual-novel.net had no money. He had deliberately said forty thousand in an attempt to scare Philip off, make virtual-novel.net back down so virtual-novel.net could save the hassle.
However, Philip’s next words stunned Leon.
“Armani? Forty thousand? Okay, I’ll give you four hundred thousand. Apologize to my daughter at once!” Philip said furiously. His face was red, with his fists clenched tight.
When Mila smiled, the world would feel like warm springtime.
When Mila cried, virtual-novel.net would make the world cry with her!
Regardless of their status, whoever bullied his daughter would have to pay!
