“What do you mean by that, Jean?” Wynn asked, puzzled. Juan scoffed.
“Philip Clarke is no good-for-nothing at all, you’ve all misjudged him! He’s actually very wealthy, because he’s the young heir to
the Capital City Clarke Group!” As Juan said that, Wynn’s expression did not change at all. So Juan knew about it too. Juan was
quite exhilarated, the corners of his mouth curved into a smile. He looked at Wynn in excitement, waiting to see the surprise on
her face. However, he was destined to be disappointed. “I’ve known that for a while now, Juan. Philip told me.” Wynn said calmly.
Juan was stunned. He had been utterly shocked when he first found out. So what was going on here? Wynn barely reacted at all.
She had known for a while now? Well, f*ck! Juan had waited for so long and prepared so much, all so that he could reveal
Philip’s identity to Wynn and then show her how Philip was no match for him, even as the young master of the Capital City Clarke
Group! Now, things had gone wrong with Juan’s master plan. Wynn already knew. He could not show off to her any longer. What
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇta pain! “You knew?”
Juan asked, feigning shock. Wynn nodded. “Philip told me not too long ago.
Although Philip’s family could not help us through this crisis, he had a friend who invested three billion
into the company and saved our skins.” A friend? Three billion! Juan was even more perplexed now.
According to the information he gleaned from his investigations, Philip had been cut off from the Capital
City Clarke Group’s resources. So what was going on now?
Impossible! Philip was nothing without the help of his family. How did he manage to secure a three-
billion-dollar investment for Beacon? That was no small sum! What went wrong? Half an hour later,
after Wynn left, Juan returned to his car in frustration. After a moment, he made a call and said coldly,
“I don’t care what you do. Get closer to Philip and earn his trust. I have to know who he really is!” Upon
hanging up, Juan looked up at the tower where Beacon was based. Speaking through gritted teeth, he
said,
“You will be mine, Wynn Johnston!” As for Philip, he was now heading toward the bus stop alone when
he happened to bump into the beautiful Nina Jacques. She was also waiting for the bus. She just went
into the company, though, so why was she here now? “Are you waiting for a bus too, Nina?”
Philip greeted her. She turned to face him, her angelic face instantly assaulting Philip’s senses. She
truly was a modern-day Aphrodite. Even here at the bus stop, she attracted every gaze around.
Thankfully, Philip’s heart only had space for Wynn alone. Nina may have left some ripples in his eyes,
but his heart was unaffected. When Philip greeted her, Nina turned to him and gave him a wonderfully
soothing smile. Pushing her hair behind her ear, she said, “What a coincidence! Are you waiting for a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmbus too?” After the previous incident with the pervert, Nina’s attitude toward Philip had changed
drastically. This was actually her first time interacting with a man without feeling awkward. “Yeah.” Philip
replied. The two of them just stood there side by side, apparently at a loss for a topic of conversation.
“You…”
“You…” Their voices spoke in unison. They exchanged a look and a smile.
“Thank you for last time.” Nina spoke first, her face slightly rosy. She looked sweet enough to eat under the twilight rays. “If you
really want to thank me, buy me a cup of coffee.” Philip nodded at the cafe downstairs. He actually wanted to find the chance to
ask Nina about her tattoo. However, it was quite a personal question and he was finding it difficult to broach the topic. Nina
blinked and smiled. “Sure, but somewhere else. I remember there’s a cafe with really good coffee somewhere nearby, let me take
you there.” The two of them headed for the cafe Nina recommended, but unfortunately the place was closed for the day, so the
two of them just stood outside and comforted each other. They were already out here, so they did not mind spending a bit more
time. There was also a mall nearby, so Nina suggested that they went shopping, then she could treat Philip to a meal. No one
was going to turn down such an invitation by such a beauty. Philip went window shopping with Nina. To be honest, though,
Philip’s heart was not in it. He just wanted to confirm something. Something that had been on his mind for a very long time.
