How was he acquainted with a prominent figure like Theo Zander? “Wait,”
Philip suddenly called out. In an instant, the group at the door froze in panic, unsure whether to stay or leave.
“Mr. Clarke, do you have any other instructions?” Harold still had a little more guts and could afford to stay
composed. “I hope you all will not speak of this incident today with anyone else. I do not wish for my daily life
to be disrupted, do you understand?” said Philip. “We understand, we understand.” Harold nodded
continuously.
Philip then nodded, and the group immediately dispersed, almost running away. After they finally got out,
Jeremy took a deep breath. When they reached the entrance, they saw Lynn. Jeremy hesitated for the longest
time but chose to stay quiet in the end. “How did it go?” Lynn asked anxiously.
To be frank, she was unwilling to watch her wretched cousin brother-in-law punished, so she chose to
stay behind at the entrance. Jeremy shook his head and answered, “It was okay.” Okay? Lynn was a
little confused. She noticed that her other friend had a heavy look on their faces. “Alright, alright, let’s
go for karaoke,” Jeremy suggested. Mainly because the air around them was too dense, and he was
afraid that Lynn might notice something was up.
When the rest heard this, they quickly snapped back to their senses and forced a smile. “Sure, Brother
Jeremy’s treat!” The group of youngsters finally left. On the other hand, Tiger’s men and the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtamusement park staff found Mila in no time. To be more specific, a young woman around her early
twenties had been looking after Mila as they waited at a dessert shop outside the amusement park.
“Mr. Clarke, we found her. She’s at Sweetheart Desserts.” Theo jogged over, ignoring the sweat on his
forehead to show Philip the way. As they hurried over to the dessert shop, Philip finally saw his
daughter eating cake. “Papa!” When little Mila saw Philip, she pounced into his arms, and as she had
just experienced great grievance, she hid in her father’s embrace, holding onto his sweat-drenched
shirt tightly. “Papa’s here, Mila, don’t be afraid, Papa’s here.” Philip carried his daughter up as he
comforted her. At the same time, he looked at that young lady. She was a very beautiful girl, looked to
be around her early twenties with straight and long dark hair. She was wearing a simple and clean
white T-shirt with a pair of light-colored jeans and tiny white shoes. Her makeup was light, and she
looked like a lovely and pure young lady. “Thank you so much.”
Philip nodded in gratitude. The girl smiled and got up. “It’s no problem. I saw her crying alone in the
amusement part and couldn’t find her parents, so I brought her here. “This little girl is just too adorable,
so it’s good that nothing bad happened.” Silvia Hayes tucked a stray hair behind her ear before
reaching out to poke Mila’s cheek, smiling sweetly. After she spoke a little with Mila, Philip put her
down. The little girl was staring hard at the strawberry cake on the table. “Eat it. I bought it for you.”
Silvia pushed the remaining cake to Mila. Mila lifted her head. Tears were sparkling in her big eyes as
she looked at Philip as if seeking his opinion. Philip caressed her tiny head and smiled. “Go ahead. Say
‘thank you’ to Big Sister.” “Thank you, Big Sister.” Mila smiled, exposing two adorable dimples before
she started eating the cake happily. At the door, Theo, Tiger, and their men were waiting by the road.
They did not dare to go inside in fear of scaring the little girl. Philip kept thanking Silvia and got a
clearer picture of the situation from her. “Uhm, if you have time at night, please let me treat you to
dinner as a token of my appreciation.” This was a nice young lady, very generous and kind. Silvia
smiled and said, “There’s no need for the trouble. It’s nothing much.” Since she rejected the offer, Philip
did not force her. Just then, he received a call from his father-in-law. Philip apologized before excusing
himself to take the call outside. “Dad, what’s up?” “Philip, get back here this instant. I want to speak to
you!” On the other end of the call, the older man’s behavior was awful, and he sounded annoyed. After
some thought, Philip braced himself and answered, “Okay, I’ll be back soon.”
Toot! The call was hung up by the older man, just like that. Philip heaved a sigh, knowing he would not
be able to escape tonight. When he turned back into the dessert shop, a shocking incident happened!
Out of nowhere, a man appeared, holding a large bouquet of roses, looking to be very handsome and
very rich. However, at that moment, Mila was wailing out loud. Her cries then gradually turned into
hiccups like she had difficulty breathing.
Silvia was squatting down before Mila, comforting her before shooting a vicious glare at the man. She
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsounded irked when she questioned, “Leon Larson, why did you hit a child?” The man named Leon
pouted, looking angrily at his own navy suit. “This wild brat has ruined my suit. I had hit her to educate
her on behalf of her parents. This suit costs forty thousand!” Leon was furious. This suit he was
wearing was a tailor-made Armani suit worth thirty thousand! He had especially dressed up today to
confess to Silvia. But this stupid brat had smudged buttercream on his outfit, so just hitting her was
already very nice of him! She might not even be enough to compensate for his suit even if he sold her
away. Philip, who was just entering the shop, saw this scene. “What’s wrong, Mila?” He hurried over to
the little girl to find a red slap mark on her left cheek! Philip instantly flew into a rage, especially when
he heard Mila’s hysterical cries. Philip wanted to stab this arrogant and pompous man in front of him.
Philip stood up and glared furiously at the man, saying through gritted teeth, “You, apologize to my
daughter, now!” Leon’s lips curved into a smirk. “Are you this brat’s father?
Okay, open your filthy eyes wide and look at this. This is a tailor-made Armani suit that costs forty thousand
dollars that your daughter has just ruined. If you can compensate for it, I’ll apologize to her.” Leon had already
taken a good look at the man in front of him. The man was dressed plainly, and it was easy to tell that he had
no money. He had deliberately said forty thousand in an attempt to scare Philip off, make him back down so he
could save the hassle. However, Philip’s next words stunned Leon. “Armani?
Forty thousand? Okay, I’ll give you four hundred thousand. Apologize to my daughter at once!” Philip said
furiously. His face was red, with his fists clenched tight. When Mila smiled, the world would feel like warm
springtime. When Mila cried, he would make the world cry with her!
Regardless of their status, whoever bullied his daughter would have to pay!
