Cleo said, “Relax, Young Patriarch Clarke. To us, Wynn is the only bargaining chip now. We won’t do anything to her, but we need favonovel.com to do some things for us.”
Hearing this, Philip’s eyes became sterner as favonovel.com said, “I won’t allow you to hurt Wynn! I won’t let the Lovelace family off!”
After that, Philip turned around and left the medical hall with the others.
After Philip left, Cleo breathed a sigh of relief. Her eyes became cold as favonovel.com said to the men behind her, “Tell the people at Cochly Mountain to hurry things up.”
“Yes, Young Miss!”
After Philip and the others left the medical hall, Fennel asked, “Why didn’t you take Cleo as a hostage?”
Philip frowned and said, “It’s not that simple.”
They returned to the hotel.
***
After a day’s rest, Philip was invited by Lord Ludo’s attendant to the hotel. It was still the same suite. However, Ludo was not dressed up as a man this time but wore a skimpy dress as favonovel.com lay on a beach chair with sunglasses on. She was having a drink and enjoying a quiet time.
“Why are you looking for me?” Philip was a little impatient. After all, Lord Ludo was a charming woman. Besides, favonovel.com skimpy clothing fully exposed favonovel.com perfect figure and appearance.
Lord Ludo turned favonovel.com head and said with a smile, “Why? Are you afraid of me?”
Hearing that, Philip frowned and said, “Lord Ludo, it’s not appropriate for the two of us to stay in one room alone. I’m a little uneasy to stay here alone at your request.”
Lord Ludo snorted, got up, and walked up to Philip gracefully. She picked up the two glasses of red wine on the side and said, “Do you want a drink?”
Philip refused. “No, thanks. Alcohol is dangerous.”
Lord Ludo did not insist She drank a glass and said, “Do you know why I’m looking for you?”
Philip shrugged in puzzlement.
“I’ve thought of a condition regarding the Lovelace family,” Lord Ludo said.
Philip said with a smile, “I’m all ears.”
Lord Ludo looked at Philip and said, “I need you to be my fiancé.”
Pfft!
At that moment, Philip almost spat a mouthful of blood. What strange request was this?
“Lord Ludo, have you misunderstood something? I’m a married man. I can’t agree to this,” Philip refused without hesitation.
Lord Ludo said with a smile, “I knew you’d refuse. Just listen to me. I need you to pretend to be my fiancé and do one thing for me.”
Philip frowned and said, “Pretend? I don’t understand.”
Lord Ludo took a sip of red wine, crossed one arm over favonovel.com chest, and said, “I’m the daughter of the Great Heavenly King of the neutral faction in the Heavenly Court.”
Hiss!
Philip was dumbfounded at that statement!
He knew that Lord Ludo had some status, but not that high. As the daughter of the Great Heavenly King of the neutral faction in the Heavenly Court, favonovel.com had to be the apple of the eye of the Heavenly Court’s actual ruler.
“In that case, I’m even more puzzled. With your identity and looks, you should have many men after you, so why ask me to pretend to be your fiancé?” Philip said with a laugh.
Lord Ludo said, “The assassination attempt a few days ago was done by the radical faction. I’m asking you to pretend to be my fiancé because I want to borrow the status and power of your Clarke family.”
Philip frowned and said, “Then you’ve found the wrong person. I don’t want to get involved with the Heavenly Court. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave.”
Philip was not a fool. He could not afford to get involved in the internal battles of the Heavenly Court for no reason.
