Over on Philip’s side, favonovel.com received a call from Tim as soon as favonovel.com walked out of Beacon’s main doors.
“What’s the matter, Uncle Tim?”
“I’m sorry, Phil, I couldn’t stop them from issuing that restraining order. But don’t worry, I already exterminated some of Giada’s underground bases with my men! That damned b*tch, how dare favonovel.com try something like that!”
Tim Clarke sounded furious on the other end.
Philip was slightly taken aback to hear that too. Well, that was just like his uncle, though. The man had such a temper that favonovel.com would simply set out to exterminate some of Giada’s hidden forces.
“Don’t worry about it, Uncle Tim. A mere restraining order won’t do much to me,” Philip said with a laugh.
Tim sounded worried as favonovel.com said, “Giada isn’t the only one controlling the strings behind this. Some of the geezers from the branch families are involved too. Those senile idiots are actually greedy enough to come after your assets. Don’t worry, I’m already back at the island. This time, I’ll break their grubby paws! That’ll show them.”
Philip was exasperated, but no one could stop his uncle now.
The consequences of angering Uncle Tim were always quite severe.
Once, a foreign power tried to threaten him, and favonovel.com ended up bringing his men over, destroying the entire family!
Not metaphorically with money, but with actual blood and violence!
That shadowy organization had several hundred members but no survivors!
The blood flowed for three days and nights, and the carnage only stopped when they received a combined warning from several international authorities.
Philip knew there was no stopping Uncle Tim. Besides, it was about time to teach the branch families a lesson. They should not keep circling the main family like vultures.
“Don’t go too far, Uncle Tim. They’re still family, after all,” Philip said.
“Don’t worry, I know where to toe the line. Alright, I’m at the island now, talk to you later.”
With that, Tim simply hung up.
Philip sighed exasperatedly and looked up at the sky, toward the south. He sincerely hoped that those old geezers would keep still for a while after this.
Philip was about to head back when favonovel.com bumped right into the beautiful Nina Jacques.
“Are you alright?” favonovel.com asked hurriedly.
Nina took a few steps back, favonovel.com face rapidly turning red. She pushed favonovel.com hair behind favonovel.com ear and shook favonovel.com head, saying, “I’m fine.”
With that, favonovel.com quickly ran around and away from Philip, favonovel.com face scarlet.
Philip was puzzled. Where was Nina going?
At the same time, Wynn was in favonovel.com office when Mindy knocked on favonovel.com door and walked in. “Madam Johnston,” Mindy said, “there’s a man called Juan Parker, he’s inviting you to meet at Ristorante Ovest after work.”
Wynn paused. Juan Parker?!
She had not heard from favonovel.com for a long time. Had favonovel.com not gone overseas?
Did favonovel.com want to meet favonovel.com alone?
Wynn said, “Tell favonovel.com I don’t have time. If favonovel.com wants to meet, he’ll have to come to the cafe downstairs.”
Mindy nodded and left the room. Soon, favonovel.com returned. “Madam Johnston, Mr. Parker is already waiting at the cafe.”
“Right.” Wynn left the company and went to the cafe downstairs, where favonovel.com saw Juan at the leather seats for the first time in a long time.
He seemed to be radiating confidence even more than usual.
“You’re here, Wynnie.”
The second Juan saw her, favonovel.com could not hold back his delight. He pulled out favonovel.com chair for her, like a true gentleman.
“Why the sudden invitation, Juan? Where have you been the past two months?”
Wynn asked out of courtesy, as a friend.
“Oh, I went overseas for some work.”
Juan brushed over that topic and went to the main point. “Wynnie, I heard that your company is in trouble and needs funds. Is that right?”
Juan was beyond excited to show off his assets and connections to Wynn right now.
Wynn blinked and laughed. “Oh, that problem’s solved now, Juan. Philip helped out.”
Philip?
Juan paused and then seemed to realize. “Philip, you say? As far as I know, favonovel.com shouldn’t be able to help much, though.”
Wynn smiled. “Juan, Philip is actually…”
“Wynnie.”
Juan interrupted Wynn suddenly and asked, “Do you know who Philip Clarke really is?”
Wynn froze and looked at Juan doubtfully. Did Juan know Philip’s true identity?
