Chapter 546
Over on Philip’s side, he received a call from Tim as soon as he walked out of Beacon’s main doors. “What’s the matter, Uncle
Tim?” “I’m sorry, Phil, I couldn’t stop them from issuing that restraining order. But don’t worry, I already exterminated some of
Giada’s underground bases with my men!
That damned b*tch, how dare she try something like that!” Tim Clarke sounded furious on the other end. Philip was slightly taken
aback to hear that too. Well, that was just like his uncle, though. The man had such a temper that he would simply set out to
exterminate some of Giada’s hidden forces. “Don’t worry about it, Uncle Tim. A mere restraining order won’t do much to me,”
Philip said with a laugh. Tim sounded worried as he said,
“Giada isn’t the only one controlling the strings behind this. Some of the geezers from the branch
families are involved too. Those senile idiots are actually greedy enough to come after your assets.

Philip was exasperated, but no one could stop his uncle now. The consequences of angering Uncle
Tim were always quite severe. Once, a foreign power tried to threaten him, and he ended up bringing
his men over, destroying the entire family! Not metaphorically with money, but with actual blood and
violence! That shadowy organization had several hundred members but no survivors! The blood flowed
for three days and nights, and the carnage only stopped when they received a combined warning from
several international authorities. Philip knew there was no stopping Uncle Tim. Besides, it was about
time to teach the branch families a lesson. They should not keep circling the main family like vultures.
“Don’t go too far, Uncle Tim. They’re still family, after all,” Philip said. “Don’t worry, I know where to toe
the line. Alright, I’m at the island now, talk to you later.” With that, Tim simply hung up. Philip sighed
exasperatedly and looked up at the sky, toward the south. He sincerely hoped that those old geezers
would keep still for a while after this. Philip was about to head back when he bumped right into the
beautiful Nina Jacques. “Are you alright?” he asked hurriedly.
Nina took a few steps back, her face rapidly turning red. She pushed her hair behind her ear and shook
her head, saying, “I’m fine.” With that, she quickly ran around and away from Philip, her face scarlet.
Philip was puzzled.
Where was Nina going? At the same time, Wynn was in her office when Mindy knocked on her door
and walked in. “Madam Johnston,” Mindy said,
“there’s a man called Juan Parker, he’s inviting you to meet at Ristorante Ovest after work.” Wynn
paused. Juan Parker?! She had not heard from him for a long time. Had he not gone overseas? Did he
want to meet her alone?
Wynn said, “Tell him I don’t have time. If he wants to meet, he’ll have to come to the cafe downstairs.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMindy nodded and left the room. Soon, she returned. “Madam Johnston, Mr. Parker is already waiting
at the cafe.”
“Right.” Wynn left the company and went to the cafe downstairs, where she saw Juan at the leather seats for the first time in a
long time. He seemed to be radiating confidence even more than usual. “You’re here, Wynnie.” The second Juan saw her, he
could not hold back his delight. He pulled out her chair for her, like a true gentleman. “Why the sudden invitation, Juan?
Where have you been the past two months?” Wynn asked out of courtesy, as a friend. “Oh, I went overseas for some work.” Juan
brushed over that topic and went to the main point. “Wynnie, I heard that your company is in trouble and needs funds. Is that
right?” Juan was beyond excited to show off his assets and connections to Wynn right now. Wynn blinked and laughed.
“Oh, that problem’s solved now, Juan. Philip helped out.” Philip? Juan paused and then seemed to realize. “Philip, you say? As
far as I know, he shouldn’t be able to help much, though.” Wynn smiled. “Juan, Philip is actually…” “Wynnie.” Juan interrupted
Wynn suddenly and asked, “Do you know who Philip Clarke really is?” Wynn froze and looked at Juan doubtfully. Did Juan know
Philip’s true identity?
