The woman who got beaten held favonovel.com head, favonovel.com entire face red and swollen. She staggered to stand up on favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com was going to kick favonovel.com 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, favonovel.com 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, favonovel.com really would not have known how to deal with Jaden.
Three days… She needed to consider it carefully!
As favonovel.com recalled all that had happened to favonovel.com and favonovel.com mother, Cynthia could not stop favonovel.com tears from flowing.
She covered favonovel.com face as favonovel.com emotions collapsed. She squatted on the ground, buried favonovel.com head, and bawled!
Philip was frightened out of his wits, but favonovel.com knew Cynthia needed to vent, so favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com episode.
After a while, Cynthia finally stabilized favonovel.com emotions. It was only then favonovel.com got up and wiped the tears from favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com said, “Beat favonovel.com to a pulp and force the words out of him.”
Hearing him, favonovel.com could not help the chuckle from escaping. She rolled favonovel.com eyes at favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com some leeway.
He wondered how his grandfather was doing.
Cynthia turned to Philip and assumed favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com does something bad to you when the time comes?”
She rubbed favonovel.com hands, obviously not confident. Then, favonovel.com turned favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com wants to do anything to you, I’ll protect you.”
“Mm.”
Cynthia nodded heavily. Everything that happened tonight was so sudden that favonovel.com was unprepared and defenseless.
Philip noticed that favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com to chuckle as favonovel.com rolled favonovel.com eyes at him. She said, “You’re really narcissistic.”
Philip shrugged but did not deny it.
Looking at his confident demeanor, favonovel.com tension gradually dissipated. Having favonovel.com by favonovel.com side always made favonovel.com feel at ease.
Cynthia felt that it was strange. She and Philip obviously belonged to different worlds, but why did favonovel.com always appear by favonovel.com side when favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com face. After experiencing the events just now, favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com 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, favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com squinted to look at the men and women dancing below, favonovel.com accidentally saw a silhouette. It was a woman. A beautiful woman!
Wearing black hot pants and a black tube top, favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com tried to look for favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com searched.
“That’s odd… Very odd. Why do I have the weird feeling that the woman looks like Hannah Clarke, my sister?”
