There were many sales personnel and prospective buyers in the large sales office, all of them gathered to watch the drama. Now, however, all of them were feeling rather lost.
Manson had been quite cocky just a while ago, but virtual-novel.net was the Chief Staff Sergeant around these parts. He had a reputation of getting up to such antics, but no one dared to really cross virtual-novel.net at all.
Yet here virtual-novel.net was, slapping his younger sister without hesitation.
“Why did you hit me, Manny?” The flashy woman was utterly shell-shocked, holding virtual-novel.net face with hurt written all over virtual-novel.net eyes.
She had lost the two teeth virtual-novel.net had just gotten fixed today.
After that, even virtual-novel.net own brother slapped virtual-novel.net twice.
What on earth was happening?
“B*tch! I told you to get on your knees and apologize to this man and his lady! And their parents too! Are you disobeying me?”
Manson was especially furious. His sister was being so stupid! Could virtual-novel.net still not read the situation?
Everyone was once again blind-sided.
Just a second ago, Manson was swearing that virtual-novel.net would not let this slide without three million in damages.
So why had virtual-novel.net suddenly ended up kowtowing and begging for forgiveness?
They did not understand at all, so all of them turned their gazes toward Philip.
Just who was this unassuming man? What kind of a background did virtual-novel.net have?
Martha looked completely shocked, virtual-novel.net body soaked with waves of cold sweat. She thought that Philip was done for, but then virtual-novel.net summoned Theo over with just a phone call. Now the large man who had been behaving so arrogantly just a while ago was bowing his head and apologizing for everything…
Wynn’s gaze had long since lost focus. She more or less understood Theo’s capabilities and influence, but virtual-novel.net did not think it was this exaggerated. He just asked for their names, and Manson had immediately fallen to his knees, begging.
Her eyes involuntarily went back to Philip. Just who was virtual-novel.net husband?
Did virtual-novel.net truly come from a family of mere restaurant owners?
Did virtual-novel.net really run away from home?
For the first time, Wynn was starting to doubt that excuse.
However, just then, Philip said calmly, “Don’t scare them, Theo. I’ve always been a reasonable guy. They want three million, right? Then we’ll give them three million.”
With that, virtual-novel.net took a card out of his pocket and gave it to Theo, saying, “Withdraw three million for me.”
“Yes, sir.” Theo respectfully took the card and then personally walked out of the door. He went to a nearby bank and withdrew three million bucks, filling a whole seven or eight bags with the cash.
Smack!
The seven or eight bags landed in front of Manson loudly, spilling their contents everywhere. They were filled with bright red hundred-yuan notes!
All tied and bundled together!
That image threatened to overwhelm everyone’s senses!
That was three million bucks?
Martha was the first to grow so excited virtual-novel.net nearly fainted. Three million!
Philip actually really withdrew three million!
With that, virtual-novel.net glared at his back resentfully, muttering to herself, “Well, well, Philip Clarke! You say you didn’t hoard any money, but this just goes to show how much you were actually hiding!”
Now, Martha was even more certain that George Thomas had given Philip far more than one million after virtual-novel.net helped virtual-novel.net that time. There had to be at least five million!
That cursed scum, how dare virtual-novel.net try to keep it from her.
Martha was furious, even more so than when that flashy woman hit her.
“Here’s three million, not a penny less. Want to take some?” Philip sat on the couch calmly, looking at Manson who was bowing before him.
Right now, Manson was wishing for the sweet release of death. His entire body was shaking.
Did virtual-novel.net dare to take that three million?
No, virtual-novel.net did not!
That money would cost virtual-novel.net his life!
On the other hand, that flashy woman ran up to them indignantly and grabbed the money from the table, saying, “Of course we’ll take it! Why shouldn’t we? This is to make up for what you did to me!”
That was three whole million in cash! The temptation was all too real!
How could Manny be so spineless? Of course they had to take it!
However!
Bam!
Manson finally blew up. He went forth and gave his sister an almighty kick, sending virtual-novel.net sprawling onto the floor as virtual-novel.net roared at her, “Take it and I’ll chop off your hands!”
After that, virtual-novel.net turned around and knelt before Philip once more, slamming his head repeatedly onto the floor. “Mr. Clarke, please forgive me and my sister. She’s such a fool, but I’ll apologize to you and your wife, sir! We were wrong, it was our fault! We’ll even pay for the damages!”
As virtual-novel.net said that, Manson took a bank card from his pocket and offered it to Philip respectfully. “Here’s two million, Mr. Clarke. Think of it as my apology to you and your wife, as well as payment for your parents’ psychological damages and medical fees. Please, accept it!”
By now, most people could see that Philip was not your average citizen!
The only one in the room who did not recognize that fact was Martha. To her, virtual-novel.net was still a good-for-nothing piece of trash.
His money was just a hidden nest egg.
That Theo something or another was just an actor virtual-novel.net called over to scare Manson.
Now, though, virtual-novel.net was glad to see Manson apologize. She hastily grabbed the card from Manson’s hands and even swept the money on the table into the bags, taking it all for herself. “Alright, I accept your offer on behalf of my son-in-law. Now, get the hell out of my sight.”
Everyone was once again stunned, looking at Martha with their jaws on the floor.
There truly was no end to virtual-novel.net shamelessness!
Philip was exasperated. He glanced at Theo and shook his head, indicating at the latter to call it a day.
What else could virtual-novel.net do?
His mother-in-law was simply that greedy for money.
Theo shrugged too and barked, “Come on in!”
Martha jumped and swiveled around to see more than a dozen men in black suits charging through the door. She thought they were here to take the money from her, so virtual-novel.net hurriedly held the money against virtual-novel.net chest.
However, those men in black suits merely grabbed Manson, his sister, and that fat middle-aged man who had stayed quiet all this time, escorting the three of them away.
With that, Theo bowed at Philip again and said, “Alright then, Mr. Clarke. I’ll take my leave.”
He then led his men away from the scene.
Martha was ecstatic, forgetting all about virtual-novel.net pain. She hastily filled the bags with all the money and even casually told Philip, “Philip, I’ll keep this money for you, okay? If you need it, you can come ask me for it later.”
She could not stay here for long. Martha was worried that Philip would change his mind, so virtual-novel.net dragged Charles and the bags of money with her, taking off into a run.
Philip was exasperated but helpless. He looked at Wynn beside virtual-novel.net and said, “Come on, we should go back too.”
Wynn did not say anything. She left the sales office at the hillside villa with Philip, but once they were outside, virtual-novel.net grabbed his arm and looked virtual-novel.net in the eye, asking, “Why do you have so much money? Where did you get it from? Also, what’s up with that Theo Zander guy? Why is he…”
Philip interrupted virtual-novel.net before virtual-novel.net could finish that question and handed the card to her, saying, “Here, this card is for you. There’s some money inside, some of my savings from before I ran away from home. I also secretly bought some stocks since then and earned quite a bit. My initial plan was to take you and Mila on a trip around the world after virtual-novel.net leaves the hospital.”
In truth, this card was the one Philip had just gotten at the bank earlier. There was an entire billion inside!
What Wynn did not know was that the money had been saved under virtual-novel.net name.
She blinked and quietly accepted the card, giving virtual-novel.net a dubious smile. “Your savings? How much is there?”
Philip rubbed his chin and grinned craftily. “Do you really want to know?”
Wynn rolled virtual-novel.net eyes. “What, are you saying there’s another million in there? Maybe ten million, or a hundred?”
Of course, Wynn was just joking, but Philip nodded and said calmly, “Yeah, I think there’s ten of those…”
