Philip looked up, a cold smile on his lips. “What if I don’t want to leave?”
The tension thickened, and the air around them seemed to become several degrees colder.
Philip and Joshua stared each other down, sparks flying.
Yolanda scoffed, “That’s enough, Joshua, don’t waste your breath on these idiots! Let’s go!”
After all, even Yolanda knew that she should not cause a ruckus here. That would not end well for any
of them.
The two men were pulled apart, and Joshua gave Philip one last word of warning. “I’m letting you go
this time, Philip, but just you wait and see!”
“Oh, I’ll be waiting.”
Philip said with a calm smile.
“Look at what an *ss that Joshua was, Philip! Makes me really wanna give him a beating!”
Howard huffed, “When will the party start? I really want to see you take the stage so you can give him
the shelling of a lifetime in public! Showing off like that, all cuz his old man has a bit of money and
some connections. So what if he has his own little company and a tiny amount of savings? As if he’s
anywhere near as loaded as our Master Clarke!”
Hayley frowned her pretty brow and did not say anything. She just looked at Philip’s side profile. What
on earth was Philip thinking right now?
She did not understand, but she had the feeling that no one was going to get any sleep tonight.
All those people who looked down on Philip before would be forced to look up at him.
He was destined to be the brightest star of the party tonight.
On the other hand, the chairs of pharmaceutical companies from Capital City and those of the
subsidiaries under Clarke Group were streaming into the main hall, led by dedicated employees.
As soon as they appeared in the hall, all eyes turned to them. Everyone raised their glasses to
congratulate these leaders, chatting with them… or rather, sucking up to them.
These were all bigwigs from Capital City, and they all obeyed Clarke Group.
Furthermore, Hudson Cash was the chairman of Clarke Group!
He controlled tens of billions in capital and resources!
“Mr. Cash, you’re looking dashing today! By the way, I heard that Master Clarke will be attending the
party tonight? Mind telling us a bit more about the great man?”
“That’s right, Mr. Cash. We’re dying to meet him. After all, he invested an entire billion at once!”
Hudson Cash nodded at each of the people surrounding him.
“You can stop your wild guesses. Master Clarke is a very low-key man, and he doesn’t like to be
disturbed. Even so, he will definitely be here tonight,” Hudson said.
Next to him, there was Wynn. She was wearing a long black dress that revealed her fair and smooth
back. Her hair was tied into a high bun, and her entire body looked extremely long and slender. She
looked like an angel that had descended to earth.
She was dressed very elegantly. Under the chandelier, she held a champagne glass, approaching
Hudson and the others with a graceful smile. Frank led the way.
“Hi, Mr. Cash,” Wynn said. “I’m the chairwoman of Beacon Pharmaceutical, Wynn Johnston. It’s great
to finally meet you.”
Wynn had been in this field for three years now, so she knew what to say and how. Her voice was soft
and gentle too, extremely soothing on the ears.
“Nice to meet you, Madam Johnston,” Hudson said with a smile, clinking his glass against hers.
He did not dare to put on any airs around her. After all, she was his master’s wife, even though she did
not know it yet.
The Young Master’s plan was torture to Hudson.
He even had to deceive the Young Master’s wife.
“Thank you for your help back then, Mr. Payne. Joel told me everything. If it were not for your help,
Beacon wouldn’t have survived that crisis, and we certainly wouldn’t be here to receive Clarke Group’s
investment.”
Wynn bowed slightly and took a sip of her wine as she looked at Vernon Payne. It was her way of
expressing her gratitude.
Back when Beacon Pharmaceutical was being shut out, when they did not have any orders or
suppliers, it was all thanks to Joel Harris that they received that first order from Hodgson.
Huh?
Vernon was confused for a second, and it showed on his face. Joel had mentioned that incident to him
a while ago, and he even put Harris Enterprise on the line.
Even so, Vernon had helped Beacon out not because of Joel Harris, but because of Wynn’s husband,
Philip!
That was the real sleeping giant here!
Joel Harris?
That man did not have anywhere near the clout and connections to help smooth over Beacon’s
contract crisis!
After all, there had been more than six hundred million at stake there!
There was no way Harris Enterprise could afford to fork out that much money!
“I think you misunderstood something, Madam Johnston. I wasn’t the one who helped you with the
Beacon crisis, and it wasn’t something Joel could have solved either.”
Vernon did not dare to take the credit for Philip’s actions. By now, he was already quite certain that
Philip was that young master of Capital City’s Clarke Group!
Hudson Cash had told him that himself.
Wynn paused and said suspiciously, “It wasn’t you? And it wasn’t Joel either? So who was it?”
It was not Joel Harris!
Had he lied to her?
“Stop pulling my leg, Madam Johnston.”
Vernon smiled slightly and prepared to tell her everything. “There’s no way you don’t know. The person
who solved Beacon’s crisis was…”
