Philip and Cynthia were on the way home. To be more precise, Philip was sending Cynthia home. The latter finally could not stop herself and said apologetically, “Philip, I’m really sorry, I…”
Philip immediately shrugged and said nonchalantly, “You don’t have to apologize to me. I understand. You can’t avoid certain business relations.”
Since when did the Larson family start to swallow their anger and watch other people’s moods before acting?
What position did Cynthia Larson hold in the Larson family?
Cynthia lowered her head, fiddled with her fingers, and said, “Chad Fadden is the general manager of Worsett International Hotel. It happens that our hotel is currently collaborating with Worsett, so I’m afraid that rejecting him will affect our cooperation.”
Philip nodded and said, “I understand. However, I still want to remind you that sometimes girls have to learn how to protect themselves. That guy obviously has ulterior motives toward you. If you agree to his demands for the sake of the company’s cooperation, what will you do if something happens?”
Looking at Philip’s reaction, Cynthia’s heart trembled slightly. She suddenly stopped, looked at Philip very seriously, and said with a blush, “Philip, I know you mean well, but Chad is quite influential in Riverdale. I’m worried that he might retaliate against you.”
“Haha, you don’t have to worry about that. I’m not even scared of Marcus Quaid.”
Philip patted Cynthia’s shoulder casually and said, “I have 100 ways to deal with a hypocrite like him.
“But I’m very curious. You’re from the Larson family, so why do you behave so weakly?” Philip asked.
Cynthia refused to answer this question but said instead, “This is my own problem. As for my proposal just now, please consider it carefully and make an appointment with your wife for me.”
When Philip had walked Cynthia to the downstairs of her apartment, the two of them were very self-conscious.
It was not because of Philip, but rather Cynthia who wanted to invite Philip upstairs but was embarrassed to do so.
When Philip looked at Cynthia’s coquettish and shy look, he knew that this little lady was hiding something in her heart, but he did not expose her. He said instead, “You should go upstairs quickly. It’s getting late and I still need to go home to accompany my wife and daughter. Thank you for your hospitality tonight.”
Cynthia did not invite him upstairs in the end but simply nodded in agreement.
Suddenly!
“Hey, this big beauty is so beautiful. What are you doing here alone at night? How about playing with the few of us?”
“Yes, that’s right. So pretty. If you don’t mind, how about we accompany you instead?”
“You’d better watch your f*cking mouth. Of course, it’s up to the pretty lady if she’s willing, hehe.”
A bunch of hooligans who came out of nowhere was making eyes and comments at Cynthia. They completely ignored Philip who was standing next to her.
Among these people, few were bald, few others were bare-chested, and some were wearing vests with cigarettes dangling from their mouths. They did not seem to be upright citizens!
Cynthia frowned and unconsciously moved closer to Philip. The appearance of these rascals made her feel scared.
Philip had already given a clear warning, but this group of gangsters did not take him seriously at all. After all, the other party was alone and weak, so this group of people laughed uproariously at his warning instead.
“Gosh, here comes someone who’s not afraid to die. Count to ten? Hey Brother, do you know who you’re talking to? You dare use this tone when talking to Boss Gary? Are you looking for death?”
A bald guy smoking a cigarette flexed his arms, squinted at Philip, and said, “Bro, I advise you to get lost quickly. The brothers want to have an in-depth chat with your girlfriend. Haha, if you understand the situation, quickly disappear from our eyes. Otherwise, don’t cry for your mama later.”
Several people ridiculed Philip and laughed raucously.
At this time, Philip turned around and looked at Cynthia. He said with a smile, “Need my help to get rid of these rascals?”
Cynthia was at a loss. She looked at Philip and said, “Yes.”
“Then you have to promise me one thing. Take me to the Larson family in Fernvale,” Philip said.
Cynthia hesitated. She did not know why, but she always felt that Philip had been asking about the Larson family.
However, looking at these stinky hooligans, Cynthia had no choice but to grit her teeth and say, “Okay, I promise.”
Philip smiled and turned his head, his eyes bursting into a cold glint. He stared at the hooligans and coldly said, “Then I’ll get rid of them for you.”
