“And me, 10 million!”
In an instant, many people clamored to bet on Philip to win. However, they were still the minority, 70 percent of the people had chosen to bet on Stanley to win.
On this side, the woman in the white dress left the betting area and came to a black Bentley parked on the roadside. As soon as she got in the car, she said angrily, “Young Miss, why did you bet on Philip Clarke to win? The man said that the odds are one to 15. This 100 million will go down the drain.”
In the car, there was a quiet woman in a light blue dress quietly looking at a book in her hand. She had a beautiful face and a pair of twinkling big eyes. She smiled slightly with two dimples at the corners of her mouth. She said, “Lilo, I believe in him.”
If Philip were here, he would definitely be excited at the sight of this face!
Hannah Clarke!
Hannah closed the book, glanced at the noisy crowd outside the car window, and said, “Is there a way for me to go in? I want to watch.”
Lilo’s beautiful brows twitched and said, “Young Miss, do you really want to go in? We snuck out without informing the lord this time. If he finds out, I’ll be punished again.”
Hannah smiled and said, “It’s fine. If he wants to blame someone, I’ll take responsibility.”
Lilo thought about it and said, “Okay then. I’ll make arrangements.”
With that said, Lilo got out of the car.
Five minutes later, Lilo returned and said unhappily, “Young Miss, are you sure you want to go in and watch?”
Hannah looked at Lilo and knew that she had done it. She got out of the car and said, “Let’s go.”
Stanley seemed to have anticipated it. He shook his head and said with a sigh, “Young Patriarch Clarke, it seems that you still don’t understand. The world has changed, and the future of this world is bound to be fragmented. If we don’t cooperate, it’d be difficult to achieve our objective. If you take a closer look, you’ll find that the country is facing danger from all sides. Without the continuous support of the Nonagon, the country would’ve been destroyed long ago.”
“The Clarke family has the power we want. The Berry family doesn’t want to go against the Clarke family. If we work together, we can surely usher in a brighter future. Young Patriarch Clarke, are you sure you don’t want to think about it?”
Philip shrugged and stood with his hands behind his back. He looked up at the blue sky and said, “The Berry family can never be my friend. Not now, not later.”
Hearing this, Stanley exhaled, and his last hope disappeared. He said, “In that case, there’s no need for the Clarke family to remain in this world. The Berry family can totally replace the Clarke family and lead the families of the future.”
“Let’s see if you have the ability, then,” Philip said coldly as a vehement look flashed in the corner of his eyes.
