Chapter 1557

At this moment, Martin was chatting with a few friends in the living room of the villa. They were the

directors of Beacon Group and also the co-initiators of this covert battle!

Seeing Bernard barge in, Martin frowned and said to the people around him, “Excuse me for a

moment.”

After that, he got up and went to the small garden next to the villa with Bernard following closely

behind.

“Tell me what’s wrong. Why are you panicking like this? How indecent. Stop making a fool of yourself.”

Martin scowled.

They had overstepped their boundaries and put on shoes that were too big for their feet. They were

already used to poverty but suddenly, this big enterprise fell right onto their laps. Furthermore, being in

the position of chairman, many of their bad habits naturally had to be changed!

This was why the Johnston brothers had spent so much money to repackage and rebrand themselves.

Firstly, it was to satisfy their vanity. Secondly, it was to show everyone that they were not beggars

pretending to be kings!

In fact, this was the inferiority complex in their hearts at work.

Bernard immediately bent apologetically and said, “Martin, something has happened. I told Lynn to go

to Uppercreek to look for Wynn to sign the document but a problem cropped up. Wynn didn’t sign it and

asked that punk Philip to show up on her behalf instead.”

Hearing this, Martin’s face darkened. He turned around with a frown, stared at Bernard with

displeasure, and asked, “She didn’t sign it? just how did you handle things? Didn’t you say to leave this

matter to you? Now, with this hiccup, what are we going to do for the day after tomorrow?”

Martin was very angry!

Everything had been going according to plan, but now, with this problem, the plan might have to be

postponed or changed!

Bernard also felt his head aching as he said, “Well, we can’t put the entire blame on Lynn either. Philip

is the one playing tricks. Lynn told me that Toby Little, the lawyer who’s supposed to help us with the

lawsuit, has collapsed!”

“Collapsed? What’s the situation?” Martin looked confused.

Bernard immediately explained, “According to Lynn, Philip just made a phone call and got Toby’s law

license suspended. Later, his father stepped in and tried to threaten Philip, but as a result, his old man

was arrested with him. Even their family was investigated!” After that, Martin fell silent.

What did this mean?

How did Philip have such strength and means?

“Are you sure?” Martin was still in disbelief. This was too inconceivable!

What sort of methods could destroy a large family of lawyers in such a short time?

Martin had had someone investigate the Little family. They were an affluent family in Uppercreek!

William Little was a member of the Holton Law Firm and also a member of the bar association. How

could Philip overturn this family just like that?

Terrifying!

Too scary!

Martin’s forehead was already sweating!

Bernard just stood aside silently, waiting for his second brother’s decision.

“What else did he say?” Martin asked.

Bernard quickly replied, “Yes, Philip told Lynn to pass a message to us. He’ll be back tonight and wants

us to welcome him.”

Haha!

Upon hearing this, Martin laughed aloud before his face turned menacing and a cruel sneer appeared

at the corner of his mouth. He said, “Welcome him? Such audacity! Does he really think we’ll be afraid

of him just because he has some means?”

“Exactly! This Philip Clarke is simply too unruly,” Bernard echoed.

After a moment of silence, Martin put his hands behind him and said with a dark face, “Immediately

notify the people we’ve arranged to keep a close guard on all the toll gates of Riverdale. Once that

punk Philip is found, kidnap him immediately! I don’t believe Wynn will still refuse to sign the document

if he’s in our hands!”

At that moment, a figure suddenly flashed across the trees nearby.
