Hearing this, Bernard’s face was grim. He stared at Philip and asked gruffly, “What exactly do you
want?”
Philip stood with his arms folded and said with chills in his eyes, “You don’t have many chances left. If
not for the sake of my father-in-law and Wynn, you and Martin would have already died a hundred
times. Bernard, go back and tell Martin not to try to retaliate against me or the people around me.
Otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”
After that, the entire private room fell quiet. Everyone dared not make a sound.
Bernard’s face flushed as the corners of his eyes throbbed with anger.
Philip was too arrogant for words!
“Hmph! Philip, don’t think I’ll be afraid of you because of your threats! Just you wait. I’ll make you kneel
and beg for mercy someday.”
Bernard waved his hand and left with his people. Liam and Jacky Cullen sent Bernard off at the
entrance. The two exchanged glances, and Jacky said angrily, “Manager Johnston, should we just let
this go? Philip has gone too far. He was the one who seriously injured Chairman Martin the last time
and almost killed a few of us.”
Liam was also very annoyed and said coldly, “I won’t just let this matter go. Philip has repeatedly foiled
our plans. We must find someone to teach him a lesson!”
Hearing this, Jacky immediately went closer to him and said, “Manager Johnston, my cousin has some
influence in Uppercreek. He has a big winery with a lot of people under him. Do you want him to make
some arrangements?”
Liam’s eyes glowed when he heard that and he quickly said, “Okay, contact your cousin right away. We
must get rid of Philip by today!”
Jacky nodded and quickly took out his phone to dial his cousin’s number.
Philip and Hoyt had returned to the Uppercreek Chamber of Commerce and were discussing the next
steps. Philip wanted to get Hoyt’s advice on Beacon’s market expansion project.
Halfway through the conversation, someone outside the office frantically knocked on the door and
shouted, “It’s bad, Director Luther! There’s a fire downstairs!”
Philip and Hoyt looked at each other before quickly standing up and running out.
Fortunately, it was already nighttime. Apart from a few employees working overtime, not many were
around and there were no casualties.
The fire was not too big. Under Hoyt’s command, the fire was put out in about ten minutes.
The total damage to the office was less than 40 percent. Just as Hoyt ran over to report the situation
while sweating profusely, Philip suddenly saw a figure peeking from behind the office building
This person looked a bit familiar. It looked like Jacky Cullen, one of Bernard Johnston’s people.
Philip was lost in thought when Hoyt suddenly yelled from behind, “Young Master Clarke, watch out!”
Philip was startled when he suddenly saw something flash across his eyes from upstairs. Before he
could react, Hoyt had already rushed over and pushed Philip away. It was followed by a loud bang!
A vase fell from the sky and hit Hoyt right on the shoulder!
Hoyt instantly fell to the ground.
“Mr. Luther!”
Philip yelled and quickly ran over to help Hoyt.
Hoyt was at an advanced age, after all. After being hit by the vase, he slumped on the ground as his
arm hung limply.
He struggled to point at the third-floor window.
Philip quickly shouted to the people putting out the fire, “There are people upstairs! Hurry up and go
after them! Also, call an ambulance at once!”
Everyone immediately got busy and several security guards also quickly rushed upstairs.
A few minutes later, Hoyt was sent into the ambulance. Philip stood at the entrance of the Uppercreek
Chamber of Commerce. The fire and the vase falling from the window seemed to have been arranged.
Someone wanted him dead!
Philip’s face froze. He took out his phone, dialed Victor Bell’s number, and said coldly, “Victor, look into
someone for me right this instant. Jacky Cullen. I want all his details and connections!”
A few minutes later, Philip received a call from Victor. “Young Master Clarke, Jacky Cullen has a cousin
in Uppercreek named Joey Cullen. He runs a winery business and monopolizes one-third of the hotels
and nightclubs in Uppercreek He has a lot of influence in Uppercreek and many people under him.”
Philip was very angry and said, “Give me the address. Also, send people to search the entire city and
capture Jacky Cullen!”
