    Chapter 518


    Al that point, Philip finally returned to his senses and shoved the women


    aside angrily.


    “Who arc you?”


    He got up and stared at Nichs with an aggressive look on his face. Just


    then, Philip felt that his authority was being challenged.


    Meanwhile, Nichs stared al Philip coldly, and he narrowed his eyes at


    Philip threateningly. “So you must be Philip Grayson, huh?”


    “Yes, I am! Who are you anyway?! How dare you trash my ce! Do you


    have a death wish?”


    Philip strode arrogantly toward Nichs and stood in front of thetter.


    Initially, Philip had intended to direct some threats at Nichs, but within


    the next second, he found himself hurtling into the air, then crashing into


    the wine table.


    That caused everything on the table to fall to the ground with a resounding


    crash.


    There were broken sses and spilled wine all over the ground.


    However, all Philip could do was clutch his stomach and groan in pain as


    he remained curled up on the ground.


    “Ah!”


    The girls by the side saw everything, and they couldn’t help screaming out in


    fright as they rushed out of the door.


    Philip’s buddies were significantly shocked loo.


    However, Nichs paid no heed to the others as he took several steps forward

    with a dominating aura that was quite terrifying, and he headed straight toward


    Philip.


    As soon as Philip saw Nichs headed toward him, he was so scared he


    almost pissed his pants.


    He clutched his stomach and retreated, warning Nichs, “Don’te near


    me!”


    However, Nichs merely shot him a look that clearly indicated he thought that


    he was an imbecile. Once again, Nichs kicked him to the ground and


    stepped on his face.


    “Let go of me!”


    At that point, Philip no longer cared about the pain in his abdomen as he


    reached out with both hands to shift Nichs’ feet away from his face, but his


    efforts bore no fruit.


    Nichs continued to stare at him from an elevated position. Finally, his thin lips


    moved as he slowly enunciated in his menacing tone.


    “Did you send some men to go after a girl and a kid today?”


    Philip was caught by surprise, and his eyes turned shifty as he replied, “What


    girl and kid? I don’t know what you’re talking about. I’m warning you. You’d


    better let go of me right away; otherwise, once my men get here, I won’t let you


    get away with this!”


    Philip stifled the fear in his heart and threatened Nichs.


    However, Nichs didn’t heed Philip’s threats as he pressed down harder on


    Philip’s face. As a result, his actions practically distorted Philip’s face.


    At that moment, Philip was in extreme pain, and he realized then that he had


    encountered a problematic guy, so he quickly pleaded for mercy. “Sir, please


    forgive me! Spare my life, please!”


    Nheless, Nichs ignored him and continued to stare at thetter with a


    thunderous look while


    exuding an extremely menacing aura. “Don’t you dare challenge my patience!


    This is yourst chance! Did you send someone to go after them or not?!”


    Philip had already realized the tight situation he was in, so he knew that if he


    didn’t exin himself, he would definitely not be able to leave this ce in one


    piece.


    So, all he could do was bob his head in response. “Yes.


    I did send someone to go after a woman and child.”


    As soon as Nichs heard that, the murderous look in his eyes became quite


    evident, and he exerted more force on Philip’s face.


    Philip sensed the murderous aura Nichs exuded and no longer cared about


    the pain on his face as he pleaded pitifully, “Sir, I was paid off by someone else


    to do this! I didn’t know that she was your woman. Please forgive me. I’m sure


    that you’re not as petty as such.”


    At that point, Philip was regretful for taking the job. He would never have


    epted this job if he knew that he would encounter such a troublesome


    character.


    On the other hand, as soon as Nichs heard Philip’s words, a dangerous look


    shed across his narrowing eyes.


    “So someone paid you off to do this, huh? Who is it?” He stared at Philip from


    above.


    Philip met Nichs’ dark, cold eyes and instantly shivered in fear. At that point,


    he didn’t dare to conceal anything and spilled the beans, “It was Hayley Stone


    from the Stone family.”


    As soon as Nichs heard Philip’s words, naturally, he was angered beyond


    words.


    “The Stone family, huh? Good on them! Hayley Stone’s very impressive


    indeed!”


    Under the warm hues, Nichs had a murderous look that could not be


    masked. The surrounding temperature seemed to drop significantly as soon as


    he realized who the perpetrator was.


    Edward sensed the coldness in the air, and he instinctively shivered. He was, in


    fact, quite shocked too.


    After all, he didn’t expect the Slones to have the guts to do that. Unfortunately,


    after the poisoning episode, they hadn’t learned their lesson and actually went


    after Tessa and Greg this time.


    With that in mind, Edward nced toward Nichs— who was significantly


    angered, and he knew right then that the Stones were doomed.


    As soon as that thought entered his mind, he heard Nichs’ furious voice


    echoing in the room, “Edward, stay back and deal with the aftermath. Do you


    understand?”


    Nichs turned to look Edward squarely in the eyes with his own irate ones.


    Instantly, Edward responded, “Yes, sir.”
