Martha was shocked by Philip’s words and the look in his eyes.
She was stunned for a long while and could not react. She stammered, “I… I’m not going back. I’m not going back…”
After saying that, she lowered her head, not daring to look Philip directly in the eye.
What a terrible feeling!
At that moment, Martha felt like she was being targeted by a fierce beast. She thought she was going to piss her pants from fear.
Horrible! Simply terrifying!
Was he still the same Philip Clarke?
How could he have such a frightening look in his eyes?
Charles also saw that something was wrong and quickly laughed, saying, “Hehe, Philip, don’t blame your mother. She just has a bad temper, but in fact, she’s kind-hearted.”
Philip swept a cold glance over them. Then, he turned his head. With a gentle smile at the corners of his mouth, he said to Wynn, “Wynnie, I’m going out for a while and might be back late tonight.”
Wynn nodded and watched as Philip left.
After Philip left, Martha breathed a sigh of relief and quickly asked Charles to pour her a glass of water. She drank it quickly, took a deep breath, and said, “It’s terrible, Wynnie. Philip treated me like that just now, aren’t you going to speak up for me?”
Allen was also standing at the side and spoke up at this time, “Connor, Philip has some means and strength. I didn’t expect that he could grow so many forces of his own after being away from Arcadia Island for so long. We’ve lost contact with all the people we arranged in Uppercreek.”
Upon hearing this, Levi and Connor’s faces darkened.
“Lost contact with all of them? How is it possible? These are all the elites of our branch family. How could we lose all of them?” Levi was in disbelief, his expression looking unpleasant.
Allen nodded and said, “I’ve tried to contact them but there’s no news so far. Connor, I think we need to reconsider this. Philip is not as simple as we think. I think he has someone behind him who’s secretly helping him. This person is most likely the main family’s…”
Allen did not complete his sentence but the meaning had been expressed.
