Philip frowned and asked, “Kenneth Hane is your brother?”
Francis nodded and said, “Yes, he is.”
“What are you so happy about then?” Philip asked again.
Francis was taken aback by that remark. Juan and the others behind him were also stunned.
No one knew the hidden backstory about this matter, but they could obviously tell that there was some
conflict between Francis and Philip.
The atmosphere became awkward. It could be said that Philip was not showing any respect toward
Francis, and the other party was at a loss about how to react.
Francis could only chuckle with a faint smile in the corners of his eyes. He displayed a generous and
elegant aura, saying, “Mr. Clarke is really good at joking. I’ve heard about what happened to my brother
last time. It was his fault. I’m here to apologize on his behalf.”
Philip frowned slightly. He did not expect Francis to be so tolerant and generous.
However, Philip was not a fool either, so he naturally would not fall for Francis’ tricks after just a few
words.
Francis smiled and continued mildly, “Mr. Clarke, do you have time to have a few drinks with me?”
He was trying to overwhelm him.
Philip stared at him coldly without the slightest trace of affinity at all, because he felt that Francis was
looking at him strangely. He looked generous on the surface, but there was a chill hidden deep in the
depths of his eyes.
Philip disliked being threatened, especially when Francis was raising his status so high that he forced
others to listen.
No matter how he looked at Francis, he felt that this guy was a bug–A bug that made people feel sick!
Moreover, Francis’ smiling face made Philip very uncomfortable!
That smile was too fake!
“Excuse me, but we don’t know each other, so why should I agree to your request? Besides, I think
you’re very unfriendly. You’re smiling on the surface, but you’re dark within.”
Philip exposed him blatantly. “Or could it be that I’ve got it wrong?”
“Oh, I’m really sorry about that. I wonder why Mr. Clarke is so unhappy? I just wanted to have a drink
with you, but it seems that you’re going to reject me.”
Francis did not display any emotional fluctuations because of Philip’s refusal. It was as if he had known
that the other party would refuse.
On the side, Cynthia scoffed. “Hey, Second Young Master Hane, why do I think you’re talking weirdly
today? What exactly do you want?”
Francis looked at Cynthia Larson, the eldest daughter of the fourth branch of the Larson family. He did
not expect to meet her here in Riverdale. He said with a faint smile, “Miss Larson, this is a private
discussion between Mr. Clarke and me. It’s none of your business, alright?”
He was once Cynthia’s suitor.
“You!”
Cynthia frowned slightly.
Francis continued, “I wonder what Mr. Larson would think if he knew Miss Larson is in Riverdale.”
Cynthia was the eldest daughter of the fourth branch in the Larson family, but she was also the
abandoned one. She was not included in the core of the Larson family at all, so Francis was naturally
not afraid of her.
Now, it was Cynthia’s turn to be unhappy. She said, “Francis Hane, my affairs are none of your
business!”
Philip looked at the bickering duo and roughly understood the situation. This long-legged queen
actually knew the Hane family too!
Francis did not pursue this topic but looked at Philip instead, saying, “Today, I just want to get to know
Mr. Philip Clarke and also Madam Wynn Johnston. I think there’s an opportunity for some cooperation
between me and Chairwoman Johnston.”
When Francis said this, he nodded at Wynn and raised his glass in a gentlemanly fashion.
Wynn merely responded with a faint smile.
Philip held the glass of red wine and stood silently as a faint smile gradually appeared on his face.
From his expression, it was impossible to tell what Philip was thinking at the moment.
However, Wynn knew that Philip was up to something. Francis was going to be in trouble!
Clap, clap, clap!
Suddenly, there was the sound of applause in the hall. Philip had put down the wine glass and
applauded out of the blue!
Everyone looked at him in bewilderment, wondering what he was up to.
“Getting to know me is all nice and simple. I recall that I told Kenneth that as long as anyone from the
Hane family appears in front of me, I’d definitely teach him how to behave. Unfortunately, you’re the
first person to verify this statement.”
While applauding, Philip slowly walked up to Francis and stared coldly into his eyes. His tone ominous
when he said, “I’m sorry, Second Young Master Hane, but what you just said made me very upset. I
have a bad problem. I have an extremely low tolerance level.”
The Hane family was still so arrogant and defiant even after everything.
Looking at Philip like this, Francis suddenly felt that it was not a human standing in front of him but a
wolf!
His whole body was covered with a chill from head to toe, and the corners of his mouth trembled
slightly. However, he still maintained his arrogance and smiled faintly. “What are you going to do?”
“What am I going to do? It’s very simple. Let me make an analogy. What do you do when a dog shows
you its fangs? Beat the dog up, of course,” Philip pinched his chin and said coldly.
Having said that, his eyes suddenly shone brilliantly!
At this time, Francis had completely lost his previous calm and generous temperament. He truly felt
that he was being stared at by a hungry wolf!
He instinctively wanted to retreat, but his legs seemed to be filled with lead. He could not take a step at
all!
Oh no!
Something was going to happen!
