Chapter 117
A slender figure immediately walked up to them. Slap! There was the crisp sound of an unhesitating slap, hitting Philip right
across the face. The pain was instant and unbearable. Wynn's face was flushed red with fury. She glared at Philip, yelling, "What
on earth were you trying to do, Philip Clarke?!" The first thing she saw as soon as she walked through the door was Philip about
to punch Aiden. Of course Wynn was furious! She had invited Aiden out here today so she could borrow one million from him for
Mila's surgery fee. If they made an enemy out of Aiden now, where else was she going to find the money? Her parents had left
them completely out to dry. They told her in no uncertain terms that they would not give her a single cent unless she divorced
Philip. That was why Wynn had no other choice.
The only people she could think of were Juan and Aiden. She glared at Philip and then turned around. When she saw that
Aiden's nose was bleeding, her anger only intensified. She hastened to apologize to Aiden.
"A… Aiden, are you okay? I'm so, so sorry. I apologize on Philip's behalf, alright? Come on, let me take you to the hospital to get
that checked out. If there's anything, I'll take full responsibility." Looking at how bad Aiden's injury was, Wynn practically hated
Philip's guts now. Aiden was not going to hold it against Wynn, of course, but he could hold Philip accountable, right? So he
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtimmediately hardened his expression and pointed a finger at Philip. "It doesn't matter how you apologize to me, Wynn. I have to
hear his apology! If he doesn't say sorry for what he did, I won't stop until he does!"
When Wynn heard that, she instantly panicked. She hurriedly berated Philip, saying, "Go on, Philip!
Hurry up and apologize to Aiden!" Philip's expression was dark, his eyes cold as he stared at Aiden. He
saw how cocky and taunting Aiden's gaze was right now. No, Philip could not bring himself to apologize
to this despicable man. After all, Aiden had crossed his bottom line. That was why Philip kept his face
cold as he said, "I won't apologize to him." That was enough to send Wynn into a tizzy. Behind her,
Aiden immediately chuckled icily. "Hmph-hmph… Very well! Just you wait, Philip! If you have the balls,
just you stay right there!" So Philip was putting on a brave face, huh? Sure! Aiden wanted to see how
long he could keep that up! The atmosphere was ice-cold. Wynn kept apologizing to Aiden, but the
latter only had one request. He wanted an apology from Philip. Wynn even got into a huge argument
with Philip over it. She wanted him to apologize, but he simply refused. Usually, Philip would do
whatever Wynn asked, but today was different. He had made up his mind. Aiden Grant and his family
were done for! Wynn was on the verge of tears by now. Just then, a few beefy gangsters barged
through the doors of Virtuous Court. All of them had tattoos, and their hairstyles varied from skinhead,
flattop, crew cut, to something multi-colored. They were really f*cking fashionable. The skinhead in
charge was a thug who was well-known in these parts, Big Dan.
Everyone down there knew about Dan’s temper and tendency for violence.
He was the type of character who regularly had supper in detention centers.
As soon as he walked in, he brought his men to Aiden, roaring at the top of his lungs, “Yo, what’s the
rush, Mr. Grant? Me and the boys were bathing our feet.” Aiden cut the chase too. He immediately
sneered coldly and pointed at Philip, “Why are you even asking? Can’t you see I’ve been assaulted?
That’s the guy, get him!” Dan flew off the handle the moment he saw how Aiden looked. Jabbing a
finger at Philip, he bellowed, “Are you the one behind that, punk?” With an angry roar, the thugs Dan
had brought with him instantly surrounded Philip. All of them looked out to kill. Wynn was terrified. She
tugged at Aiden’s hand and pleaded with him. “Come on, Aiden, let’s not do that. I apologize to you on
Philip’s behalf, alright?”
Aiden shook his head. “I don’t want to put you in a rough spot, Wynn, but I can’t just let this slide
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmtoday.” Wynn was losing her mind now. Finally, she clenched her teeth and said, “Aiden, if you just let
Philip go, I’ll do anything you ask me to. Just once.” Anything he asked her to? Aiden’s face
immediately broke into a grin. Philip frowned deeply when he heard that.
“There’s no need for that, Wynn. Aiden Grant can’t touch me.” Philip was telling the truth. However, there was no way Wynn
would believe him. She turned around, her eyes red, and she shrieked at Philip, “Shut the hell up!”
Aiden instantly laughed coldly. “Sure! Just have this meal with me and follow me back to a hotel. If you do that, I’ll let him go and
lend you a million bucks.” His true intentions were now clear for all to see. Wynn’s gaze hardened. She did not expect him to ask
for something so unreasonable! “Do it!” When Aiden saw her hesitate, he simply gave the order, trying to force her to agree.
Wynn panicked and was about to say yes, when… Suddenly, there was a furious yell from the other end! “All of you, stop this at
once!” Javier Morris ran up to them with a team of a dozen security guards behind him. Earlier, he heard the receptionist say that
there was a fight breaking out in the lobby, and blood had even been shed. That was why he came running. From the distance,
though, he then saw that it was Mr. Clarke being surrounded by thugs! How could he not panic? He hastily jogged over and bent
his waist into a respectful bow. “Sorry for the scare, Mr. Clarke. Please leave the rest to me.” Just the way he said Mr.
Clarke was enough to leave most people at the scene stunned! Wynn’s heart skipped a beat at the sudden turn of events. Mr.
Clarke?
