Chapter 896

“Have you found out who’s the boss behind the scenes?” Philip asked.

 

Theo shook his head and said helplessly, “It’s very mysterious. We can’t find anything.”

 

Philip frowned, sat for a few minutes, then got up before saying, “Okay, let’s wait and see.”

 

He patted Theo on the shoulder and said with a smile, “Don’t worry, you’re my man. Whatever you want, I’ll get it for you.”

 

Theo was very excited at his words and nodded respectfully. “Thank you, Mr. Clarke.”

 

After that, Philip put his hands in his trouser pockets and left the directors' office.

 

Back at First Palace.

 

In the living room at this moment, Martha stood on the side with a flattering expression.

 

In front of her, a woman with elegant grace was sitting on the sofa.

 

Giada Wallis.

 

She had turned up at the villa.

 

Vivian stood behind her while the Wallis family’s bodyguards were at the door.

 

Ten minutes ago, Giada came and frightened Martha until she was stuttering.

 

“Madam… Wallis, do you have any instructions for me?” Martha asked cautiously.

 

People like her were prone to bullying the weak but afraid of the strong.

 

Giada had only hit her a few times and she was already petrified of her.

 

However, Philip had also beaten her but she was unafraid of him.

 

In her mind, Philip was nothing but a piece of trash.

 

It was almost impossible to understand how Martha’s mind worked.

 

Sitting on the sofa, Giada glanced at Martha indifferently. The latter hurriedly lowered her head in fright for fear that the other party would hit her again.

 

“I was just passing by and came here to take a look. By the way, I want to remind you about the task that I’ve given you,” Giada said lightly with a commanding tone.

 

Martha nodded and said, “Yes, I know. Madam Wallis, please rest assured. I’ll do it.”

 

She had no other choice but to do it.

 

She could only hope that Wynn was having a girl.

 

Giada nodded and continued, “Also, I need you to keep an eye on Philip and report to me his every move.”

 

Actually, Giada could instruct her subordinates to do this.

 

However, her people could not snoop inside the villa.

 

Therefore, she needed Martha to do this.

 

“Sure, okay.”

 

Martha nodded vigorously. This was not a big deal. She could handle it.

 

After chatting for a bit, Giada got up and left the villa.

 

It was not until she left that the huge rock in Martha’s heart fell.

 

It was too terrifying.

 

The aura that Giada exuded was stronger and more daunting than before.

 

At this time, Wynn was shopping outside with Anne and Mila.

 

After strolling around, Wynn and Anne rested at Starbucks.

 

Mila was asking for ice-cream, so Anne took her there. As a result, Wynn was left alone in Starbucks.

 

Wynn sat there and chatted with Philip on the phone.

 

At this time, a woman suddenly sat down in front of her.

 

She was in her early 20s, very young, very beautiful, and very poised.

 

Most importantly, her eyes were very similar to Philip’s!

 

Wynn raised her eyebrows. With a gentle smile on her face, she asked, “You are?”

 

The girl on the opposite side smiled, revealing her dimples. With sparkling bright eyes, she happily reached out her hand to Wynn and said, “Sister-in-law, we finally meet.”

Chapter 897

Sister-in-law?

 

Wynn was stunned as she stared at the woman dubiously.

 

Why did she call her sister-in-law?

 

Wynn glanced around before asking tentatively, “Are you talking to me?”

 

The other party smiled gracefully and said, “My name is Hannah Clarke.”

 

Hannah Clarke?!

 

Wynn was dumbfounded!

 

Her eyes widened as she stared at the woman in front of her in disbelief. The more she looked, the more she thought this woman before her looked similar to Philip.

 

“You... Are you really Hannah Clarke?”

 

Wynn’s breathing became rapid. Sher covered her small mouth and blinked her big eyes. She was very excited!

 

Philip's younger sister was also her sister-in-law?

 

Did Philip not say she was dead?

 

In that case, why was she standing in front of her and talking to her now?

 

Wynn could not understand this and her mind went blank for a moment. When she recovered, the other party had already sat down, ordered a cup of coffee, and was smiling faintly as she said, “You must have a lot of questions for me.”

 

Wynn nodded.

 

The woman who claimed to be Hannah smiled and asked, “Did you look at the USB drive I gave you?”

 

Wynn shook her head and said instead, “Are you really Hannah? I’ll call Philip and tell him right away.”

 

With that, she was about to take out her mobile phone but was stopped by the other party.

 

The woman smiled slightly, took out a business card from her bag, and handed it to Wynn before saying, “This is my address. If you have any questions, you can look for me at any time. However, about our meeting today, I hope you won’t tell my brother about it.”

 

She could not tell Philip?

 

“Why?” Wynn asked.

 

The other party smiled faintly, got up, and left directly. She only left Wynn with the sight of her mysterious back.

 

When she noticed Hannah getting into the Cadillac parked by the door and saw a bodyguard in a black suit opening the car door for her, she realized that the other party’s identity was not simple.

 

However, since she was Philip’s sister, why did she suddenly appear and not allow her to tell Philip?

 

What was her motive?

 

Back to Philip. He had left Theo's company and went into a restaurant.

 

He used to patronize this place when he was broke.

 

He chose to sit at the corner, which was also a relatively quiet position in this restaurant.

 

Just as Philip was about to dig in, a bright and familiar figure suddenly appeared before his eyes.

 

She was wearing a long-sleeved floral dress. She was tall and slender with a dash of heroic gallantry.

 

The newcomer was none other than Yvette Simms who he had not seen in a while.

 

What a coincidence.

 

Yvette had taken off her uniform and put on this little dress. She looked spectacular.

 

When she walked into this restaurant, she attracted the attention of countless men.

 

Even some girls looked envious and jealous of Yvette!

 

Philip smiled and asked Yvette as she walked up to him. “Do you like this restaurant too?”

 

Yvette looked at the smile on Philip's face, nodded, then sat opposite him, which immediately ignited the jealousy of all the men in the restaurant!

 

Ever since Philip created a big fuss in the headquarters, Yvette knew that Philip's identity was not simple. In her eyes, Philip was a wolf in sheep’s clothing—a young master who came out to experience life.

 

The two of them chatted a little until they finished eating and were now walking out of the restaurant. Philip stretched and said, “I’m really full. I have to say that the fried chicken in this restaurant is really delicious.”

 

Yvette looked at this unfathomable guy and said, “I’ll be heading back, then.”

 

Philip looked at her in surprise and asked, “Are you busy? Why are you so anxious to go back? Don’t you want to go shopping or something?”

 

Yvette replied, “I prefer to solve cases.”

 

Oh, a workaholic.

 

“By the way, I’d like to ask you something, “Philip suddenly said.

 

Yvette frowned and asked, “What? I can’t tell you if it's too confidential.”

 

Philip shrugged and said, “Nothing much. It’s about the Hull Organization. I want to know more about them, and about Solomon Hull.”

 

After that incident, Philip once asked Rick to investigate, but obviously, he encountered huge resistance.

 

There were some things that even Philip could not do.

 

Make use of the family’s influence?

Chapter 898

That was obviously impossible. Giada had been keeping a close eye on him after all.

 

Yvette frowned and thought for a moment before replying, “I can't help you with this but maybe someone else can. I'll go back and find out for you.”

 

Philip did not hold much hope either. He learned from George that forces like the Hull Organization were based overseas and had a complex background.

 

The two chatted for a bit more before going their separate ways.

 

This was a chance meeting after all.

 

At this moment, however, a pickup truck full of people suddenly stopped in front of them!

 

Their intentions were hostile!

 

Philip raised his eyebrows. Was this an after-dinner entertainment?

 

It seemed like they were here to pick a fight. With that thought, he stood in front of Yvette.

 

Looking at the familiar back in front of her, Yvette's eyes flashed with surprise. The images of the previous incident also surfaced in her mind.

 

At the same time, the passenger door of the pickup truck was opened. A thug with crutches got out of the car, and when he saw Philip, he immediately shouted, “Boss, it’s him!”

 

Hearing that, the people on the pickup truck jumped off one after another—all of them flashy and domineering!

 

There were at least a dozen of them.

 

In an instant, everyone in the restaurant ran away. Even the owner closed the door.

 

A dozen gangsters instantly surrounded Philip and Yvette!

 

All of them were holding weapons in their hands such as switchblades and baseball bats!

 

“Don’t be afraid. I’m here.”

 

Philip turned to Yvette with a grin.

 

“Hey, don’t forget who I am. Do you think I’d be afraid of these guys?”

 

Yvette glared at Philip contemptuously. She wanted to take out the ID from her pocket, but she had changed her clothes today and the ID was not on her.

 

Philip noticed that too. With a grin, he said, “Just leave it to me. You can watch from the side.”

 

“Okay.”

 

Yvette was very decisive. She had seen Philip’s skills, so she knew he could easily handle more than a dozen thugs. These people in front of her did not pose any threat to him.

 

In any case, Yvette would not choose to abandon Philip at this time. She would stand aside and wait for the opportunity to act.

 

At this time, a burly man with a cigarette came down from the pickup.

 

This guy wore a vest that fully displayed his bulging muscles. His appearance alone could easily scare many people away!

 

He took a puff of his cigarette, looked at Philip, then asked the guy on crutches. “Was he the one who hit you?”

 

The thug on crutches gritted his teeth at Philip. “It’s him! That’s the guy who f*cked us up in the back street! We've been searching for so many days and finally nabbed him here!”

 

At this time, Philip also recognized the guy on crutches. It turned out to be the group that Juan had arranged to surround him that day!

 

Back then, Yvette was also present.

 

Were they here to seek revenge?

 

What a coincidence.

 

Philip looked at the guy and sneered, “I didn’t expect to run into you here. Was the beating last time not enough for you?”

 

With that said, Philip took a few steps forward. The guy was so frightened that he took a few steps back and hid behind his leader. Indeed, Philip had left an indelible shadow on him the last time!

 

“Boss, kill him! You must avenge the brothers!” the guy on crutches quickly shouted.

Chapter 899

“Revenge? Of course, but there’s no hurry. He hurt my boys, so he definitely can’t escape, or else, I can’t live up to my name of Ollie from North Street.”

 

The brawny man had this planned out very well. He noticed that this was a remote place with not many people around. The other party only consisted of one man and one woman, so he was not afraid at all!

 

However, when the brawny man was about to make a move, his eyes saw Yvette who was standing behind Philip. He was instantly shocked to the heavens and felt that his eyes were blinded at that sight!

 

Too damn gorgeous!

 

She was the best-looking woman he had ever seen!

 

Ollie was the boss of North Street with 40 or 50 men under him. He could be considered someone with a bit of status.

 

However, even he had never seen a beautiful woman like Yvette, especially one with the kind of domineering temperament!

 

“Boss, are we making a move?” the guy on crutches asked.

 

Gulp!

 

Ollie swallowed a mouthful of drool, his eyes gleaming as he leered at Yvette, saying, “Break the guy’s limbs and take the woman away.”

 

All the guys were naturally attracted by Yvette’s beauty. Since their boss said so, they naturally understood. They had to get rid of the annoying pest first.

 

As for the woman…

 

Hearing the brawny man’s words, Yvette frowned and her eyes showed extreme disgust!

 

“Tsk, tsk, being good-looking really brings disaster. I suddenly feel that being with you is too dangerous. You should pay me a protection fee,” Philip turned and said to Yvette, seemingly not paying attention to the dozen or so people in front of him.

 

“Hehe, that brat. He's still in the mood to flirt when his death is approaching!”
