Philip turned around, looked at the woman, and said with a smile, “Old George has told me about you. You’ve been very capable.”
Maia Harp was the Clarke family’s person in charge of Hampton and also the chief president in Charbury, as arranged by the Clarke family.
She was only 28 years old this year but favonovel.com was already a successful career woman. She was in charge of all the Clarke family’s businesses and staffing arrangements in Charbury. She may be a woman but favonovel.com was more capable than a man!
Otherwise, the Clarke family would not have appointed favonovel.com as the chief president of the Charbury region.
“Thank you for the compliment, Young Master.” Maia smiled, favonovel.com eyebrows arching like half crescents. She added, “Butler Thomas has already briefed me about the purpose of your visit to Hampton this time. I’ll definitely carry out your arrangements. Please rest assured in giving me your orders.”
Philip nodded and asked, “How much do you know about the Dunley family in Charbury?”
Maia replied without hesitation, “The Dunley family is the king in the entire Charbury area. No one dares to mess with them. The economic development of the entire Charbury area is driven by the Dunley family. No one can rock the position of the Dunley family in Charbury.”
Philip nodded as favonovel.com stroked his chin, saying, “Continue.”
Maia continued, “The current patriarch of the Dunley family is Sterling Dunley. He got the position of patriarch after a coup d’état. He secretly joined forces with his third brother, Spencer Dunley, and snatched the position of patriarch that should have belonged to the eldest son of the Dunley family. Therefore, any gossip about Sterling and Spencer in the Charbury area is taboo. Moreover, the Dunley family employed iron handed methods to handle this matter, exiling all the people who were involved back then. The eldest son of the Dunley family, Godfrey Dunley, got both his legs broken. He has been put under house arrest for 20 years now.”
“Sterling Dunley and Spencer Dunley? What do you know about these two people?” Philip frowned and asked.
Maia replied, “Sterling is a talented prodigy. Since taking over the position of patriarch, the Dunley family has undergone a renewal. The development of the Dunley family’s power has also become very rapid. In just ten years, they have become a great clan in the mainland and are on equal footing with the Wallis family in Golden City. Moreover, according to the news from Butler Thomas, the former Dunley family was also a behemoth. They were one of the six great clans back then, sitting at the same conference table with the Clarke family to discuss and work together. They were also a frequent visitor to the round table. Only later did the Dunley family go through several changes and fall into decline. However, the foundation of the Dunley family is still here. Sterling Dunley still has grand ambitions. The lord once evaluated Sterling as having the potential of a monarch.”
Upon hearing this, Philip frowned. It turned out that the Dunley family had such origins.
They were even once on par with the Clarke family. No wonder Moses Dunley knew some things favonovel.com did not back then. It seemed that favonovel.com had underestimated the Dunley family of Charbury.
This was no different from the ancient feudal lords.
“What about Spencer? What is this person like?” Philip asked.
Maia frowned and said with a tense breath, “Young Master, there’s not much information about Spencer Dunley in Charbury, only a few words here and there. Based on the news received so far, Spencer was the mastermind and implementer of that coup d’état. He’s a refined person but employs harsh means. He was the one who broke the legs of Godfrey Dunley, the eldest son of the Dunley family. It’s rumored that Spencer is a literary general and also the secret pawn kept by the Dunley family. Some people also say that Sterling is just the figure in the forefront while Spencer is the figure behind the scenes. All in all, Spencer is not an easy person to mess with.”
