Salem smiled and said, “All of you have been used by Philip. To be precise, we’re Philip’s pawns. After all the trouble yesterday, everyone’s eyes are now on the branch family and Philip. If anything happens to Philip from now on, everyone will suspect the branch family. When the time comes, even if we didn’t do it, it’ll become our doing. So, do you still want to make a move against Philip?”
“This…”
Instantly, everyone was speechless. When they thought about it carefully, it was true.
“Damn it! That brat is actually using us as pawns and shields!”
Desmond was not a fool and instantly figured it out. Not only could the branch family not make a move against Philip, but they even had to try to protect favonovel.com now.
That was because now everyone knew that the conflict between the branch family and Philip had escalated to the point that it could not be resolved.
If an interested party used this to attack Philip and anything happened to him, everyone’s eyes would be focused on the branch family.
Silence!
The entire memorial hall was silent.
Wade clenched his fist very reluctantly and roared, “Damn it, that brat is the same as his father!”
***
Back to Connor’s residence. At this time, Connor and the others had been released by Philip. In the hall, Connor was sitting on the sofa and leaning on his walking cane with an angry expression on his face. Around him, Wade, Salem, Hansel, and the others were standing.
“Connor, what should we do about this? Philip has used all of us,” Wade asked.
Connor coughed lightly. He caught a cold in the cargo hold of the cruise ship.
He said, “Don’t worry about this matter first. As Salem said, the branch family has become the target in everyone’s eyes. Even the slightest movement will be exploited.”
“Are we going to just forget about it, then?” Hansel said indignantly.
Connor shook his head and said with a sigh, “We’re to blame for underestimating Philip’s wisdom and schemes. This incident can be regarded as a lesson for all of us. Let’s settle down for the time being. Two days later, Philip will return to the island to pay respects to the ancestors. If possible, we can think of ways to cause trouble for Philip on that day.”
Everyone perked up at that suggestion.
Yes, paying respects to the ancestors was a big deal. If they could make use of that day and cause trouble for Philip, that would be great.
“What should we do, then?” Wade asked.
Connor pondered and said, “Did you find out everything about Wynn Johnston’s background like I told you to?”
Wade immediately replied, “Connor, it’s all done. That b*tch is indeed the surviving child of that couple from the Lovelace family!”
“Good! In that case, we’ll expose Wynn’s background on that day. When the time comes, let’s see how the main family can defend that b*tch and protect Philip!”
Connor tapped his cane on the ground with a fierce expression on his face.
Meanwhile, inside Levi‘s residence, favonovel.com was currently lying on a soft golden silk bed. He was surrounded by four graceful maids who were massaging his shoulders and legs.
He was finally home. He had been living like a beggar during this time.
Bang!
He threw the wine glass in his hand heavily on the ground, smashing it to pieces.
“Damn you, Philip Clarke, I won’t let you off!” Levi roared. His face was flushed, and favonovel.com was obviously drunk.
At this time, the butler ran in and said, “Young Master Levi, Young Master Lex requests to see you.”
“Lex Clarke? Why does favonovel.com want to see me?” Levi was taken aback. He frowned, looking unhappy.
