Chapter 795

Philip quickly ran to the small garden before he returned the call.

Very soon, the call connected.

It was a hearty male voice accompanied by sounds of other voices. He seemed to be at a party.

“Philip, please hold on.”

After that, the man on the other line seemed to gradually move away from the crowded area to a quiet

place.

“What did you find out?”

Philip was anxious. He finally heard from Fennel after so long, and he had been in Fernvale recently.

He must be investigating the task he had given him.

“I found it,” the man on the line spoke with a hoarse voice, obviously different from the frivolous

persona just now.

“The reason why the Larson family of Fernvale withdrew from the mainland is inseparable from the

Wallis family. The person behind the scenes should be Giada Wallis.”

Giada?

Philip frowned. He had long guessed that this was the case.

“However, I found something else.”

On the other end, Fennel said solemnly, “There seems to be someone else behind Giada, and they’re

very powerful. You have to be careful. The existence of these people indicates that their target is not

only the Larson family but possibly the Clarke family on Arcadia Island too.”

There was someone else behind Giada!

Philip’s eyelids jumped wildly at this information.

He took a deep breath and said, “I understand. When will you come here?”

“Not for the time being. I can’t get away now. I’ll find the chance.”

After that, the line disconnected.

Philip sat in the garden with a cigarette in his hand. His expression was awful.

All this while, it was not that Philip did not check up on Giada. He had also found some clues.

There was someone behind Giada indeed.

That was also why he did not make a move against Giada and the Wallis family directly.

The people behind Giada were very mysterious. Philip had not found any information about these

people to this day.

Therefore, Philip was waiting for the other party to make the first move.

Things seemed to have taken a turn for the worse.

In the next two days, Wynn rested at home while Philip accompanied her.

“Philip, let’s go shopping. We should buy some clothes for the baby,” Wynn pulled Philip and said coyly.

Philip nodded and said, “Okay.”

The two quickly arrived at the nearby shopping mall.

Wynn plunged into the store that displayed all kinds of baby clothes, looking very motherly and happy.

She kept looking at and comparing different baby clothes.

Philip followed behind her quietly, feeling very blissful.

After visiting several stores, they came to an international chain of baby stores. While Wynn browsed

through the assortment, Philip followed her and carried the bags.

Unfortunately, an abrupt and doubtful voice sounded behind the two.

“Wynn, Philip, is that really you?”

It was a woman who was pretty well-dressed with a good figure and trendy attire. She was hugged by a

man next to her who looked like a rich foreign-looking businessman.

The man had a big potbelly and looked to be in his 40s or 50s.

Wynn and Philip knew this woman quite well.

To be precise, this woman was Wynn’s mortal enemy back in college.

“Muriel Milton?” The corners of Wynn’s mouth curled up as she said politely.

They were old classmates after all.

Muriel glanced at them disdainfully and said in an unfriendly tone, “Oh, I didn’t expect to see you in

such a small town like Riverdale. This place is really sh*tty.”

During college, Muriel had always been at loggerheads with Wynn, fighting both openly and privately.

In the past few years, she had been around and remarried three times.

Her current husband was the rich boss of a foreign-funded enterprise.

Moreover, she had now settled abroad and just returned here for a visit.

Unexpectedly, she ran into her archrival here.

Wynn simply chuckled when she heard this. She had no intention to linger and continue to be

pretentious, so she pulled Philip along to leave.

However, Muriel obviously would not let this opportunity pass. She walked over quickly, blocking their

path before saying triumphantly, “Hey, Wynn, we’re old classmates after all. Why are you in such a

hurry?

“By the way, are you married? Do you have kids?

“It’s not that I want to say anything about this, but in school, I already told you this. People like Philip

are not worth entrusting your life to. Didn’t I hear that Philip married into your family?”

Muriel chattered incessantly, her words full of ridicule and mockery.

It was obvious she despised them.

She could not help it. She was wealthy now, and her husband was a foreigner. She was better than

them!

She even had foreign citizenship!

Therefore, Muriel naturally looked down on Wynn and Philip. She even looked down on all the people

in this country.

This sense of superiority made Muriel glow with pride.
