In the residence living room, Philip sat on the sofa and looked at Lex who was sitting on the side. He smiled and asked, “Why did you come to see me?”
Lex took a sip of the tea made by the servant and placed the teacup on the table. With a smile, favonovel.com said, “I’m here to admire the mighty air of the young master of the main family.”
Philip chuckled with a subtle glint in his eyes and said, “Hurry up and state your business. I have to accompany my wife out later.”
Lex nodded and said directly, “I want to cooperate with you.”
“Cooperate?”
Philip chuckled and asked, “Have you mentioned this to Levi?”
Hearing this, Lex raised his brows slightly, nodded, and said with a smile, “I have, and favonovel.com has agreed to it.”
“In that case, by coming here to talk to me, are you going to be the middleman who puts on a show just so you can sit back and watch the two of us fight while waiting to reap the benefits?”
Philip asked smilingly as the look on his face gradually darkened.
Lex nodded, pursed his lips, and said, “Sure enough, I can’t hide anything from you. As expected of the heir of the main family. Your wisdom is indeed not comparable to mine or Levi’s.”
Philip said, “Hmmm… Stop your flattery. Since you dare to come and talk to me about cooperation, it means that you know what I want and the consequences of doing so. I’m really curious to find out what makes you so daring to come and talk to me about cooperation. Aren’t you worried that Levi will find out and turn against you?”
Lex got up, walked to the side, looked at the jasper colored horn hung on the wall, and said, “Philip, do you know that I’ve been enduring for 15 years and living in the branch family for 20 years? All this time, I’ve kept a low profile. I acted like a wimp and did not care about anything. I pretended not to know anything. Do you know why I did that?”
Philip pondered and said, “I don’t really like to listen to stories. I’m more interested in the benefits.”
Lex continued, “I’m waiting for an opportunity to seek revenge on the branch family. Back then, my mother brought me to Arcadia Island and was scorned and despised by everyone in the branch family. In their opinion, my mother is just a sl*t and I’m favonovel.com bastard child. For 15 years, I still remember my mother’s last words to me the night favonovel.com was forced to favonovel.com death by them. She told me to endure and carry on living.”
“I’ve endured it for 20 years, and my mother’s death has haunted me for 15 years! 20 years! Do you know what it‘s like to live in hatred for 20 years under everyone’s stares and contempt?”
“I want to take revenge on the branch family! I want to seek revenge on those people who forced my mother to favonovel.com death! I want all of them to kneel in front of my mother’s tombstone and apologize!”
Lex gritted his teeth and said. Due to his emotions, his whole body began to tremble and his eyes were scarlet. A raging aura surged out of his body.
Philip was silent as favonovel.com looked at Lex and said, “Sorry, I can’t help you.”
After that, Philip got up to leave.
Lex stared at Philip’s departing back and spoke through clenched teeth, “You can help me! As long as you help me take the top position of the branch family, in the future, the branch Clarke family will always be subservient to you, Philip Clarke!”
His words were not loud but resounding.
With his back to Lex, Philip snorted and said, “To help you seize the top position of the branch family, I’ll have to see your strength.”
After saying this, Philip stepped away.
Lex stood in the huge empty hall for a few minutes before favonovel.com turned and left.
After favonovel.com left, Philip walked out from the back and looked at Lex’s departing back. With a faint smile, favonovel.com said, “I hope you won’t let me down.”
