Hearing this, Bernard was anxious and quickly asked, “One sentence? What did he say?”
Lynn shuddered and replied, “He said that in this world, there’s no one that he, Philip Clarke, can’t afford to mess with not even the Little family. They can only wait for their destruction.”
Hiss!
On the other end of the phone, Bernard gasped as his back was immediately drenched in a cold sweat.
Why was this guy so arrogant? No one in the world could mess with him?
Too presumptuous!
After a moment of silence, Lynn‘s voice was heard over the phone. She sounded very anxious and worried as she asked, “Dad, what should we do? Toby has been arrested and the Little family is gone now. Will we be arrested too? Will Philip come after us?”
Bernard’s face went dark. He was no longer a man of an ordinary household, working hard every day just for his daily bread and butter.
Now, he was on the board of directors of Beacon Group. He had money and status.
Every day, he went in and out of opulent clubs, drove luxury cars, and smoked cigars.
Since living with such extravagance, his desire had been infinitely magnified. It had awakened the sleeping devil in Bernard’s heart!
No way!
He could not allow Philip to do anything!
Otherwise, his Johnston family would lose everything. His hard earned glory and wealth would be reduced to nothing!
“Don’t worry, I have a plan. Come back first. We’ll think about this.” Bernard was silent for a moment before talking.
Riverdale had long ago been bought off by Martin and Bernard of the Johnston family.
All other members of the underground forces, except for Theo Zander and his men, had agreed to work with them!
As long as Philip dared to appear, he would immediately be taken down!
Thinking of this, Bernard chatted a little more with Lynn before he ended the call. Then, he got up and said a few words to the employees and executives of Beacon before leaving.
Soon, he got into the new Mercedes-Benz G-class vehicle he bought and headed directly to First Palace in Longford Park.
When he got out of the car, he quickly rushed in and shouted, “Martin, something has happened!”
