Chapter 1897

Connor and the other two were slightly surprised at that announcement.

‘Philip was going back?’

Connor’s face darkened as his grip on his cane tightened. He said mockingly, “Philip, do you really

think you can return safely?”

Philip shrugged and said, “What do you think?”

Connor merely laughed without saying anything. Behind him, Levi seemed anxious and shouted at

Philip angrily, “So what if you return? The branch family is still the branch family. No matter how long

your hands may stretch, the main family cannot interfere with the branch family!”

Levi was actually very worried about Philip’s return. If that happened, would that not mean he was

going to inherit the main family and the entire Clarke family?

He had not been back for almost seven years. With his return now, how many people would be plotting

in the dark?

Levi would never allow this to happen, and the branch family would never allow Philip to go back like

this!

Philip glanced at Levi with a sneer and said, “Levi, although you’re the eldest young master of the

branch family, you still have to keep your head low in front of me. The branch family is nothing but a

stumbling block to me. Eventually, I’ll take back all the power of the branch family. As for you, if you

know what’s good for you, you should hurry up and submit to me.”

Hearing this, Levi almost exploded with anger. Philip was simply too arrogant!

Was he trying to undermine the branch family’s authority?

It was ridiculous beyond words.

“Philip Clarke, don’t be too cocky! Although we’re detained by you now, I know you won’t dare to do

anything to us. You still fear the branch family and my father!”

Levi sneered maliciously with cold eyes. As though he had discovered Philip’s bottom line, he

continued to scorn. “Moreover, even your father wouldn’t dare to do anything to the branch family

heedlessly because if you lose the branch family, the Clarke family will lose half their strength. Will your

father allow you to do that?”

Philip’s face was grave. Levi was right. This was indeed his bottom line. For the Clarke family, the

current branch family was both a help and a constraint.

However, there was an exception to everything.

For example…

Philip raised his eyebrows, and a chill flashed across his eyes. He looked at Levi with a slight smile,

saying, “You’re right, I dare not do anything to all of you. But with you, I can still use some means.”

When Levi heard this, he was startled and looked at Philip who was walking toward him. In a panic, he

shouted, “What are you going to do? Philip, I’m telling you, I’m the eldest young master of the branch

family. If you dare to do anything to me, my father will definitely not let you off!”

Levi was terrified now. After all, he used to be a gentlemanly young master. Who would have expected

him to be imprisoned like a criminal now?

Seeing Philip walking toward him with a sneer on his face, Levi recalled the past scenes when Philip

made a move against him. He suddenly felt chills all over!

“I think you haven’t been beaten enough. In that case, I’ll reluctantly teach you a lesson on behalf of

your father, so that you can remember what kind of attitude you should display when facing the heir of

the main family.”

While saying that, Philip had already forced Levi into a corner. He raised his foot and kicked Levi

forcefully in the stomach.

In that instant, Levi felt like he had been hit by a truck. There was a piercing pain in his abdomen.

“Blergh!”

He clutched his stomach and fell to the floor, throwing up all the delicacies from last night. Even if he

was locked up, he must be served good food.
