Chapter 2218

The grand elder held a black cane, looked at Philip coldly, and said, “On your knees!”

Philip knelt without any struggle or resistance.

Smack!

The grand elder raised the cane in his hand high in the air and slapped it across Philip’s shoulder with

a black stream of light!

Instantly, the clothes on Philip’s shoulder ripped apart from the impact!

Philip also muffled a grunt. The ripped jacket on his shoulders revealed a white shirt but it was quickly

dyed red with blood.

Seeing this scene, Wynn was very distressed and anxious. She knelt in front of Philip with Mila in her

arms and blocked the next strike from the grand elder. She exclaimed, “Grand Elder, it’s all my fault. It‘s

all because of me that Philip did that. If you want to punish someone, hit me.”

The grand elder‘s eyes went cold at this scene as he shouted, “Do you think I don’t dare to hit you?”

With that said, the grand elder raised the cane in his hand and was about to strike.

At this moment, Mila burst into tears in Wynn’s arms. She ran over, hugged Philip‘s shoulder, and

wailed, “Dad is hurt. Dad is bleeding. Boo-hoo…”

Then, Mila turned her head, stared at the grand elder with big tearful eyes, pursed her lips, and cried,

“You’re a bad person. You hit my Dad! I don’t like you. Boo-hoo…”

Seeing Mila crying, the grand elder could hardly bear it and the cane in his hand wavered.

Philip looked at the crying Mila, stroked her cute little head, and said, “Mila, I’m fine. It doesn’t hurt at

all. I did something wrong and must be punished. You should stand aside with Mom.”

After saying that, Philip looked at Wynn. With tears in her eyes, Wynn hugged Philip’s shoulder. She

was very distressed.

“Wynnie, bring Mila to the side. This is an internal matter of the Clarke family. I’m prepared for it,” Philip

said.

Wynn shook her head and said, “No, I don’t care. I don’t want anything from the Clarke family. It’s no

big deal if we leave. Let’s go, okay? I don’t want…”

Philip smiled, touched Wynn’s delicate cheek, and said, “Wynnie, trust me.”

Tim immediately said to the guard beside him, “Pull the young madam and young miss away.”

The two guards walked over and pulled Wynn and Mila aside.

Smack!

The cane in the grand elder’s hand was raised once again and struck Philip’s shoulder fiercely. This

time, more blood poured out. Philip did not say a word as he knelt on the ground and endured the

grand elder’s punishment.

As for the branch family, everyone watched with enjoyment. Their faces were full of ridicule and

sarcasm.

Arrogant?

Was Philip not arrogant just now?

Then why was he kneeling in the memorial hall and enduring the caning from the grand elder now?

Wade was also watching this scene with a grim sneer and felt delighted. It was as if the resentment

that had been pent up for years dissipated all at once.

After seven lashes, the grand elder handed the cane to the servant behind him and said to Philip, “Get

up, go change your clothes, and come back.”

Philip’s face was full of pain at the moment. He could only stand up with the help of the servants.

He was then taken to the backyard to treat his wounds and change his clothes.

Wynn carried Mila and chased after him.

In the backyard, Philip sat in the middle hall. He took off his suit and revealed his strong muscles. From

his shoulder, he took out a bloody piece of pork and threw it on the ground. After that, with the help of

the servants, he put on some so-called bandages and medicine before putting on a new suit.

Wynn and Mila stood aside, dumbfounded.

What the hell was going on?
