“What are you trying to do?” Philip’s face turned cold, and virtual-novel.net started feeling anxious.
He knew about Giada’s methods. This woman would not hesitate to get rid of virtual-novel.net rivals—including virtual-novel.net own son.
When virtual-novel.net was eight, virtual-novel.net asked someone to run over virtual-novel.net with a car.
There was only one reason. It was because virtual-novel.net was afraid that virtual-novel.net might be the obstacle in virtual-novel.net process of taking over the Clarkes.
A tiger, though cruel, would not devour its cubs.
However, in Giada’s eyes, power was virtual-novel.net only priority.
When Giada mentioned Philip’s marriage and his daughter, virtual-novel.net 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 embroidered boxes from the drawer of the coffee table. They looked delicate. There were also shiny crown crests on the boxes. She smiled and said, “These are for Wynn and Mila. It’s a meeting gift from Aunt Giada.”
Philip’s face fell. He did not take the boxes. He just asked coldly, “Giada, I don’t know what you’re planning, but I can tell you confidently that they don’t know who I am. I am also warning you, if you dare to have any ideas toward Wynn and Mila, I won’t mind letting you try my methods!
“Also, I’m advising you to go back immediately. Riverdale is not a place where you should be,” Philip said.
“I’ll be here for a few days. Don’t worry, I won’t do anything to them yet. But remember, if you want to protect them, you have to be strong enough,” Giada said.
Philip was clenching his fists. Then, virtual-novel.net unclenched them and said calmly, “Don’t look down on me. I know who you are, Giada Wallis. Ever since you married into this family, I could tell. I already have all kinds of plans to counter your attacks. If you don’t believe me, you can try. This is my last warning for you, if you dare to touch Wynn and Mila, you should plan how you’re going to get out of this.”
…
Giada stood at the entrance and watched Philip leave. She kept replaying what Philip said to her.
That guy had grown up a lot.
It turned out that virtual-novel.net had known about virtual-novel.net true self since virtual-novel.net was so young.
She wondered how virtual-novel.net hid that for so many years.
Was this a Clarke?
Philip had finally grown his fangs. This lion that had been suppressing all of its anger was finally awakened.
Giada smiled and muttered to herself, “This is indeed Roger’s son. He even has his little ways. I underestimated him. I thought virtual-novel.net was just a piece of trash who’d endure everything. I didn’t expect virtual-novel.net to be ready.”
After Philip got back to the hospital, virtual-novel.net sat on the hospital bed and looked at Mila who was sound asleep. His eyes were filled with fatherly love.
“Mila, Daddy won’t let anyone hurt you,” Philip murmured.
The night was like water. It was intertwined with the past of love and hate.
Today was Old Master Yates’ 70th birthday party.
Early in the morning, Paula asked virtual-novel.net daughter Samantha to pick up Martha and virtual-novel.net family at the Old Johnston Manor.
Martha’s face looked glum, especially when virtual-novel.net saw Samantha’s proud look. It was as if virtual-novel.net face was covered by a layer of frost.
“Aunt Martha, where’s Wynn and Philip? Tell them to hurry up, I’m in a rush.”
Samatha was dressed stylishly. She was like a modern woman from television. Her hair was curled, and virtual-novel.net was wearing a very expensive outfit. She held the latest Gucci bag in virtual-novel.net hand, and there was a pair of sunglasses on virtual-novel.net face. She sat on the sofa in the living room rudely.
She did not even take off virtual-novel.net sunglasses despite being indoors.
Samantha looked around this old manor. Her eyes behind virtual-novel.net sunglasses were filled with detest. The corner of virtual-novel.net lips also curled in disdain. She murmured, “This place smells moldy. Old houses are indeed the worst. I don’t know how a person can live here.”
Martha was walking over while holding a bowl of fruits. When virtual-novel.net heard Samantha’s murmurs, virtual-novel.net face fell.
What a b*tch! She was just like virtual-novel.net mother!
She would ache all over if virtual-novel.net did not boast.
Judging from virtual-novel.net outfit, virtual-novel.net wondered how many men Samantha had slept with before scoring virtual-novel.net current husband.
“Hey, Sammy, why isn’t your mother here?” Martha said with a forced smile on virtual-novel.net face.
Samantha fanned herself with virtual-novel.net hands and answered nonchalantly, “My mom went over on virtual-novel.net own. She told me you guys don’t have a car, so virtual-novel.net asked me to pick all of you up.”
How poor! How could virtual-novel.net mother have a sister like this? She was too poor!
Did virtual-novel.net uncle not make any money in the organization? What a loser!
Martha forced out a smile on virtual-novel.net lips and faked a laugh.
At this moment, Wynn and Philip came home. When they got into the house, Samantha could not wait to grab virtual-novel.net bag to walk out of the house. She said bossily, “Why are you only back at this hour? I’ve been waiting for five minutes. This stupid place is so stuffy. It smells like mold too. Let’s go now. My car is outside.”
Samantha could not even wait one second more.
When virtual-novel.net saw Wynn, virtual-novel.net face turned cold.
Wynn had been better than virtual-novel.net in every way since they were young. Her academic results were better, virtual-novel.net was prettier, and virtual-novel.net job was even better than hers.
This made Samantha feel like virtual-novel.net was lacking.
However, all of that changed when Wynn got married.
The proud daughter got married to a spineless coward.
In addition to that, virtual-novel.net life was getting worse and worse.
When Samantha saw Philip who was standing next to Wynn, virtual-novel.net eyes were filled with disdain and despise.
This man was beyond useless.
He was just a stinky stone from the dung hole compared to virtual-novel.net husband. What a piece of trash!
