Chapter 1454

At the same time, Connor and the other two were conspiring in the hotel suite.

Although they were put under house arrest by Philip, they still had their strength as the branch Clarke

family. Connor could still access the news and movements outside.

Every day, countless people walked in and out of this hotel. Sending a message was not that difficult.

Connor stood in front of the large French window with a cane, looking at the streets outside. His eyes

darkened angrily as he said, “Philip has returned safely from Cloudside.”

Hearing this news, Levi exclaimed angrily on the side and exchanged a glance with Allen. He was full

of disappointment.

“Grandpa, didn’t the Gentleman Court take action this time?” Levi raised his eyebrows, puzzled.

Allen also asked, “Brother, didn’t the Gentleman Court promise you that…”

Connor turned around and waved his hand, motioning for them not to speak. He made a gesture of

pointing to his ears and said softly, “The walls might have ears.”

Allen and Levi nodded. They lowered their voices and asked, “What the hell is going on? With such a

thorough set up, Philip still managed to come out of Cloudside alive?”

Connor sighed and said, “Don’t forget who’s stationed in Cloudside, Reed Williams. Moreover, do you

think Roger Clarke will sit back and do nothing? This time, it was Roger who personally gave a warning

to the Gentleman Court before the lord stopped. The death of Chester Ludwig means nothing. It has no

impact on the overall situation.”

Connor actually felt a little helpless now. A golden opportunity like this had been overturned by Philip.

Levi quickly asked, “Grandpa, what should we do next?”

Allen also got a little anxious and said, “We’ve been detained for many days now and don’t know

what’s going on in Arcadia Island.”

Connor smiled and said, “Don’t worry. The chieftain has already sent some people over to Uppercreek.

We’ll get out soon. This time, as long as we get out, the little brat Philip will definitely suffer for his

actions!”

Connor knocked the cane in his hand heavily on the ground.

“Father sent some people? Who?” Levi got excited and his face was full of joy.

“Your third brother, Kelsey,” Connor said.

When Levi heard that name, he was startled at first before asking doubtfully, “Can he handle this? Even

the three of us have been detained by Philip. I’m afraid Kelsey won’t be able to suppress Philip.”

Hehe. Connor chuckled and said, “Do you really think that your father sent Kelsey over to bring us

out?”

Levi did not understand, so he leaned over and said, “I don’t get it.”

Connor took a sip of warm tea with a faint chill in the corners of his eyes and said, “This time, your

father let Kelsey represent him as the chieftain of the branch family. On the surface, it’s to demand our

release, but in fact, it’s to test Philip and the main family. If Philip can’t handle the pressure and

releases us because of his apprehension toward the branch family, then everyone will be at peace. In

that case, we can make a fuss when we return and give Philip a small punishment.”

Levi frowned and asked, “What if this doesn’t work?”

“Then…”

Connor deliberately drawled and sneered, “If Philip pays no heed to Kelsey and beats him up, he’d be

disrespecting the chieftain and the branch family. In that case, do you think your father will just let it be?

What would Roger do?”

After hearing this, Levi finally realized. A smug smile appeared at the corners of his mouth and he said,

“Grandpa, I understand now!”

“It’s good that you understood,” Connor said with a smile.

For a while, the laughter of the three people in the suite was particularly gratifying.

It seemed that all the grievances from the past few days had been vented.

However, at that moment, the door of the suite was kicked open.

Philip suddenly appeared in the doorway with a cold smile on his face and said, “Oh, all three of you

are here. You look quite happy. So, do you already know that Kelsey has come to save you?”

“I’m very sorry, though. He was beaten up and sent home by me.”

Philip walked in with a subtle smile, totally unconcerned about the gazes of the three people in the

suite.
