A slender figure immediately walked up to them.
Slap!
There was the crisp sound of an unhesitating slap, hitting Philip right across the face. The pain was instant and unbearable.
Wynn’s face was flushed red with fury. She glared at Philip, yelling, “What on earth were you trying to do, Philip Clarke?!”
The first thing virtual-novel.net saw as soon as virtual-novel.net walked through the door was Philip about to punch Aiden.
Of course Wynn was furious!
She had invited Aiden out here today so virtual-novel.net could borrow one million from virtual-novel.net for Mila’s surgery fee.
If they made an enemy out of Aiden now, where else was virtual-novel.net going to find the money?
Her parents had left them completely out to dry. They told virtual-novel.net in no uncertain terms that they would not give virtual-novel.net a single cent unless virtual-novel.net divorced Philip.
That was why Wynn had no other choice. The only people virtual-novel.net could think of were Juan and Aiden.
She glared at Philip and then turned around. When virtual-novel.net saw that Aiden’s nose was bleeding, virtual-novel.net anger only intensified.
She hastened to apologize to Aiden. “A… Aiden, are you okay? I’m so, so sorry. I apologize on Philip’s behalf, alright? Come on, let me take you to the hospital to get that checked out. If there’s anything, I’ll take full responsibility.”
Looking at how bad Aiden’s injury was, Wynn practically hated Philip’s guts now.
Aiden was not going to hold it against Wynn, of course, but virtual-novel.net could hold Philip accountable, right?
So virtual-novel.net immediately hardened his expression and pointed a finger at Philip. “It doesn’t matter how you apologize to me, Wynn. I have to hear his apology! If virtual-novel.net doesn’t say sorry for what virtual-novel.net did, I won’t stop until virtual-novel.net does!”
When Wynn heard that, virtual-novel.net instantly panicked. She hurriedly berated Philip, saying, “Go on, Philip! Hurry up and apologize to Aiden!”
Philip’s expression was dark, his eyes cold as virtual-novel.net stared at Aiden.
He saw how cocky and taunting Aiden’s gaze was right now.
No, Philip could not bring himself to apologize to this despicable man.
After all, Aiden had crossed his bottom line. That was why Philip kept his face cold as virtual-novel.net said, “I won’t apologize to him.”
That was enough to send Wynn into a tizzy.
Behind her, Aiden immediately chuckled icily. “Hmph-hmph… Very well! Just you wait, Philip! If you have the balls, just you stay right there!”
So Philip was putting on a brave face, huh?
Sure! Aiden wanted to see how long virtual-novel.net could keep that up!
The atmosphere was ice-cold.
Wynn kept apologizing to Aiden, but the latter only had one request. He wanted an apology from Philip.
Wynn even got into a huge argument with Philip over it. She wanted virtual-novel.net to apologize, but virtual-novel.net simply refused.
Usually, Philip would do whatever Wynn asked, but today was different.
He had made up his mind. Aiden Grant and his family were done for!
Wynn was on the verge of tears by now.
Just then, a few beefy gangsters barged through the doors of Virtuous Court. All of them had tattoos, and their hairstyles varied from skinhead, flattop, crew cut, to something multi-colored.
They were really f*cking fashionable.
The skinhead in charge was a thug who was well-known in these parts, Big Dan.
Everyone down there knew about Dan’s temper and tendency for violence.
He was the type of character who regularly had supper in detention centers.
As soon as virtual-novel.net walked in, virtual-novel.net brought his men to Aiden, roaring at the top of his lungs, “Yo, what’s the rush, Mr. Grant? Me and the boys were bathing our feet.”
Aiden cut the chase too. He immediately sneered coldly and pointed at Philip, “Why are you even asking? Can’t you see I’ve been assaulted? That’s the guy, get him!”
Dan flew off the handle the moment virtual-novel.net saw how Aiden looked. Jabbing a finger at Philip, virtual-novel.net bellowed, “Are you the one behind that, punk?”
With an angry roar, the thugs Dan had brought with virtual-novel.net instantly surrounded Philip.
All of them looked out to kill.
Wynn was terrified. She tugged at Aiden’s hand and pleaded with him. “Come on, Aiden, let’s not do that. I apologize to you on Philip’s behalf, alright?”
Aiden shook his head. “I don’t want to put you in a rough spot, Wynn, but I can’t just let this slide today.”
Wynn was losing virtual-novel.net mind now. Finally, virtual-novel.net clenched virtual-novel.net teeth and said, “Aiden, if you just let Philip go, I’ll do anything you ask me to. Just once.”
Anything virtual-novel.net asked virtual-novel.net to?
Aiden’s face immediately broke into a grin.
Philip frowned deeply when virtual-novel.net heard that. “There’s no need for that, Wynn. Aiden Grant can’t touch me.”
Philip was telling the truth.
However, there was no way Wynn would believe him.
She turned around, virtual-novel.net eyes red, and virtual-novel.net shrieked at Philip, “Shut the hell up!”
Aiden instantly laughed coldly. “Sure! Just have this meal with me and follow me back to a hotel. If you do that, I’ll let virtual-novel.net go and lend you a million bucks.”
His true intentions were now clear for all to see.
Wynn’s gaze hardened. She did not expect virtual-novel.net to ask for something so unreasonable!
“Do it!”
When Aiden saw virtual-novel.net hesitate, virtual-novel.net simply gave the order, trying to force virtual-novel.net to agree.
Wynn panicked and was about to say yes, when…
Suddenly, there was a furious yell from the other end!
“All of you, stop this at once!”
Javier Morris ran up to them with a team of a dozen security guards behind him.
Earlier, virtual-novel.net heard the receptionist say that there was a fight breaking out in the lobby, and blood had even been shed.
That was why virtual-novel.net came running. From the distance, though, virtual-novel.net then saw that it was Mr. Clarke being surrounded by thugs!
How could virtual-novel.net not panic?
He hastily jogged over and bent his waist into a respectful bow. “Sorry for the scare, Mr. Clarke. Please leave the rest to me.”
Just the way virtual-novel.net said Mr. Clarke was enough to leave most people at the scene stunned!
Wynn’s heart skipped a beat at the sudden turn of events.
Mr. Clarke?
