This was his trump card, but now that his confidants were killed, it also meant that his connection with the 10,000 guards outside was severed!
In that case, what else could favonovel.com use to blackmail the main Clarke family and force their hand?
Had Philip predicted this long ago?
Was there a traitor among his people?
Philip chuckled as his eyes swept over Lex Clarke standing among the branch family members. Lex was impassive as favonovel.com stood among the crowd. He was a spectator from the beginning to the end.
This was what Lex had to prove himself. Philip accepted it.
Then, Philip walked up to Wade who was furious but flustered. He said coldly, “Wade, now that you’ve lost your greatest support, what do you think I’ll do to you?”
Although Wade was very angry at the moment, favonovel.com soon calmed down and said with a sneer, “Philip boy, do you think that I’d be afraid of you just because you killed a few confidants of mine? Today, the main family must give a statement to the branch family. They need to either revoke your status or wipe out the sinned blood of the Lovelace family!”
After saying that, Wade turned to stare at Roger gloomily and said, “Patriarch, do you want to harbor this sinned blood in front of the entire Clarke family?”
While saying that, Wade pointed at Wynn and cursed.
Smack!
However, before Roger could continue, Philip slapped Wade angrily.
“How dare you?! You’re just an old master of the branch family while she’s the young madam of the main family and the future young lady! What’s your intention by repeatedly addressing favonovel.com as sinned blood?!” Philip said angrily.
Wade was also furious as favonovel.com stared at Philip and said, “Philip boy, are you going to deny it to the end? I have evidence here!”
Bam!
As soon as Wade said that, Philip kicked favonovel.com in anger. Wade stumbled and fell to the floor. He stared at Philip angrily and roared.
“How dare you strike out at me again and again?!”
Philip said, “Why not? If I said she’s not, then so be it. How dare you question the words of the heir of the main family? Men, give favonovel.com 20 strokes of the cane!”
Clatter!
Five guards stepped out among the main family’s guards. Four of them held Wade’s limbs and pinned favonovel.com to the floor. The fifth person took out a cane and struck Wade fiercely on the back of his waist and buttocks.
“Argh!”
Miserable screams resounded throughout the ancestral memorial hall!
Wade struggled and roared. “Philip boy, you’re too arrogant! I’m the fifth old master of the branch family! Guards, take favonovel.com down!”
At Wade’s command, the guards of the branch family who were about to rush out knelt on the floor instead.
That was because Philip held up a jade thumb ring. The Sovereignty Seal!
Seeing the ring was like seeing the king!
Although Roger was here, favonovel.com stayed out of the matter and wanted to see how Philip would handle it.
Wade was furious at this scene. Gritting his teeth, favonovel.com endured the pain and stared at the Sovereignty Seal held aloft in Philip’s hand. He was almost dying of hatred.
Miserable screams kept echoing.
Morrow walked out from the corner at this moment and looked at Roger on the stage. Then, favonovel.com said to Philip coldly, “Philip, that’s enough!”
Philip turned around but did not call off the guards who meted out the punishment. He looked at Morrow and said with a smile, “Oh, Granduncle Morrow. You finally can’t stand it, huh?”
Morrow frowned at Philip’s words, coughed several times, and said, “Philip, you’ve gone too far. By acting like this, don’t you have any respect for the branch family at all?”
Philip chuckled and said, “Granduncle Morrow, it’s not that I don’t respect the branch family, but the branch family has never shown me any respect.”
As Morrow listened, favonovel.com looked at Wade who was covered in a cold sweat and close to fainting from the beating. Shaking his head helplessly, favonovel.com pointed at Wynn and said, “As the second old master of the branch family, I hereby initiate a trial against the young madam of the main family in the ancestral memorial hall. She’s the surviving descendant of the sinned blood! The four law enforcement hall elders of my branch family will jointly petition this case!”
Ashe said that, the door of the memorial hall opened and four law enforcement hall elders wearing black and red robes walked in with a petition written in blood in their hands.
