The woman who got beaten held virtual-novel.net head, virtual-novel.net entire face red and swollen. She staggered to stand up on virtual-novel.net high heels. She could barely hear what Philip was saying.
“Let’s go!”
Jaden glared at Philip vehemently before turning to Cynthia, threatening, “Cynthia, you’d better think it over carefully. I’ll give you three days. If you want to know your mother’s whereabouts, come and look for me!”
“Get lost now!”
Philip frowned and looked as if virtual-novel.net was going to kick virtual-novel.net again.
Jaden stepped back in fright and almost fell. He gave Philip a sullen look, pointed his finger at the latter, and threatened, “You… Just you wait!”
After that, virtual-novel.net quickly left with his people.
Watching as the group of people left the bar, Cynthia was relieved and said to Philip, “Thank you.”
Of course, Cynthia knew that Jaden had deliberately come to find fault with her. If Philip had not stepped in, virtual-novel.net really would not have known how to deal with Jaden.
Three days… She needed to consider it carefully!
As virtual-novel.net recalled all that had happened to virtual-novel.net and virtual-novel.net mother, Cynthia could not stop virtual-novel.net tears from flowing.
She covered virtual-novel.net face as virtual-novel.net emotions collapsed. She squatted on the ground, buried virtual-novel.net head, and bawled!
Philip was frightened out of his wits, but virtual-novel.net knew Cynthia needed to vent, so virtual-novel.net did not intend to dissuade her. He called out to the flustered waiter and asked for two glasses of wine. He sat at the deck and waited for Cynthia to finish virtual-novel.net episode.
After a while, Cynthia finally stabilized virtual-novel.net emotions. It was only then virtual-novel.net got up and wiped the tears from virtual-novel.net eyes while looking at Philip who was sitting there nonchalantly. She grabbed the cocktail from his hand and finished it in one big gulp!
“Hey, that’s mine.”
Philip was upset but could not do anything about it.
“What are you going to do?” Philip asked.
She sat beside him, staring blankly at the men and women enjoying themselves in the bar on the first floor. The events here did not affect the party downstairs. After all, such things were very common in bars, so no one paid attention.
“I don’t know, but I must find out the news about my mother.”
Philip nodded, thought for a while, and said hesitantly, “Perhaps I can help you.”
Cynthia turned virtual-novel.net tear-streaked face at him, looked at Philip pitifully, and asked, “You? What can you do?”
Philip looked at that forlorn little face and felt distressed as virtual-novel.net said, “Beat virtual-novel.net to a pulp and force the words out of him.”
Hearing him, virtual-novel.net could not help the chuckle from escaping. She rolled virtual-novel.net eyes at virtual-novel.net and said, “I have my plans on this matter, so don’t worry about it. I don’t want to get you involved.”
Fine, this little girl was still that ice queen Cynthia Larson after all.
“Actually, in my eyes, the Larson family can easily be handled with one word. I can let Jaden reveal your mother’s whereabouts willingly,” Philip said abruptly after hesitating for a long time.
The Larson family was his mother’s family. As the heir to the Clarke family, they needed to give virtual-novel.net some leeway.
He wondered how his grandfather was doing.
Cynthia turned to Philip and assumed virtual-novel.net was joking. “Thank you.”
“You really don’t need my help?” Philip said, “Are you really sure you can handle a villain like Jaden? What if virtual-novel.net does something bad to you when the time comes?”
She rubbed virtual-novel.net hands, obviously not confident. Then, virtual-novel.net turned virtual-novel.net face and said with a touch of sadness, “Why don’t you accompany me then?”
Philip chuckled. “Yes, it’s always better to have more people. If virtual-novel.net wants to do anything to you, I’ll protect you.”
“Mm.”
Cynthia nodded heavily. Everything that happened tonight was so sudden that virtual-novel.net was unprepared and defenseless.
Philip noticed that virtual-novel.net was still a little worried and joked, saying, “Don’t worry. With such a handsome guy like me to protect you, no one can hurt you.”
This got virtual-novel.net to chuckle as virtual-novel.net rolled virtual-novel.net eyes at him. She said, “You’re really narcissistic.”
Philip shrugged but did not deny it.
Looking at his confident demeanor, virtual-novel.net tension gradually dissipated. Having virtual-novel.net by virtual-novel.net side always made virtual-novel.net feel at ease.
Cynthia felt that it was strange. She and Philip obviously belonged to different worlds, but why did virtual-novel.net always appear by virtual-novel.net side when virtual-novel.net needed it the most?
“I’ll go back first. Have a seat and order any drinks you like. It’s on me.”
Cynthia got up with a tired look on virtual-novel.net face. After experiencing the events just now, virtual-novel.net needed to rest. It was still a big blow to her, after all.
“Okay. Remember to call me when you’re prepared to go over there.”
Philip was unconcerned.
She spoke to the waiter before virtual-novel.net left.
Philip sat alone at the deck on the second floor, carefully savoring the cocktail served by the waiter. Even the glass had been replaced with an exquisite crystal glass, which reflected the beautiful glow under the colorful lights.
Leaning back on the leather sofa, virtual-novel.net took a light sip of the special cocktail. He looked at the wanton and boisterous crowd below and felt that their lives were too blissful.
Philip already had plans for Jaden in his mind. He needed to take care of this problem as soon as possible.
Savoring the wine in the glass, Philip gradually became a little drunk.
When virtual-novel.net squinted to look at the men and women dancing below, virtual-novel.net accidentally saw a silhouette. It was a woman. A beautiful woman!
Wearing black hot pants and a black tube top, virtual-novel.net had exquisite and sharply-defined facial features as well as a piercing gaze!
The sudden eye contact between Philip and the woman caused a massive thump in his heart. Goosebumps were spreading all over his body!
When virtual-novel.net tried to look for virtual-novel.net again, the figure was already lost in the crowd!
It was strange!
Why did this happen?
Philip stood up abruptly and searched for the figure frantically but could not find that woman no matter how virtual-novel.net searched.
“That’s odd… Very odd. Why do I have the weird feeling that the woman looks like Hannah Clarke, my sister?”
