Chapter 319
“Madam Johnston, the chairman from Shine Pharmaceutical is here. He said he wants to talk to us about the collaboration.”
Coincidentally, Mindy knocked on the door and entered the chairperson’s office. She walked in with a stack of documents in her
hands. She was beaming. The company had been talking with the top pharmaceutical companies in the country for the past two
days. Wynn was so amazing! She had such huge connections!
Wynn did not hear what Chloe said, so she replied, “I’m sorry, Miss Sommerset. I have something to take care of. However, if you
want to look for me, I’ll entertain you anytime.” Wynn hung up the phone with a cold expression on her face. Over here, Chloe
was seething. How dare that b*tch hang up on her! No, she had to teach her a lesson. If not, she would not know the difference
between them. Wynn pondered for a while and tidied herself up. Then, she followed Mindy into the meeting room. In the
afternoon, Philip was feeling bored in the hospital. Soon after, he got Geroge’s call.
“Young Master, there’s a party in Virtuous Court tonight. It’s hosted by the few chairmen involved in the family’s pharmaceutical
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbusinesses. They know that you’re in Riverdale and begged me to tell you to meet them. What do you think?” George said.
“Alright,” Philip replied. He knew he would not be able to decline this. After all, he was the one who asked them to help Beacon.
Since they were here, it would be inappropriate to reject them. He would just meet them, then. “I’ll tell them to wait for you in
Virtuous Court now. Do you need me to pick you up?” George asked. “No need. I’ll go over myself,” replied Philip. After he hung
up, Philip stayed with Mila until about six to seven o’clock. Then, he called a cab and headed to Virtuous Court.
When he got into the hall, he sat down on the sofa. He wanted to prepare himself before going in. He
was feeling bored, so he flipped through the magazine on the table. Then, he overheard two waitresses
talking about him at the door. “Look, that man is dressed in such shabby clothes. Why is he here?” “I
don’t know, but it’s so gross. There are a lot of people who want to cadge a meal here.” “Yeah, I heard
that some people purposely come to hotels to beg for money from the rich.” Philip pressed his lips
together. He was not bothered by them. Was his outfit that bad, though? He felt helpless as he walked
over to the lift. Then, he attracted weird gazes from the waiters.
Their gazes felt like a cat’s scratches. He felt very uncomfortable.
Eventually, before he could get any further, he heard someone calling his name. “Philip, why are you
here?” Joel entered the building while following behind his father. The moment he walked in, he saw a
familiar figure. ‘Isn’t that the useless bum, Philip? Why is he in such a luxurious place as Virtuous
Court?” Philip turned his head and saw Joel walking over to him bossily.
He smiled. “Isn’t this Mr. Harris? What a coincidence.” Joel scoffed and said sarcastically, “Alright,
Philip. It seems that even you can afford to come to Virtuous Court now. Do you know where you are?”
Joel felt agitated when he saw Philip. How did this piece of trash marry Wynn? “This is Virtuous Court.
What’s wrong?” Philip replied while feeling helpless.
“You’re still asking me what’s wrong? How dare a useless bum like you come in here!” Joel sneered.
Philip frowned and looked at him. Then, he replied with a simple ‘oh’. Joel’s rich man’s temper rose in
his chest.

pointed at Philip while shouting. He would not feel at ease if he did not do something to Philip. Then, a
hall manager ran over.
He apologized immediately, “I’m sorry, Mr. Harris Jr. It’s our mistake.
Please head inside first. I’ll take care of this now.” After that, his face fell.
The hall manager said to Philip coldly, “Um… Sir, please leave now.” Philip looked at Joel who had a pleased look on his face. He
felt a slight blush creeping up his face as he asked coldly, “I’m here for dinner. Does Virtuous Court have a policy to not allow
guests to come in?” “You’re just a piece of trash and you still dare to come here to eat? Why don’t you look at yourself in the
mirror first? I have no idea why Wynn likes someone like you.” Joel said with agitation on his face. Then, he explained briefly to
his father. His father had a square face. His body size was average, and he had a beer belly.
He glanced at Philip in disgust. This was the guy who stole his son’s girlfriend? He was just a nobody. He could end him just with
a snap of a finger.
