After hanging up the phone, the anger on Philip’s face disappeared and was replaced by a sneer. Smyth was dead for sure. Theo and Anna also looked at each other, feeling sorry for Smyth. He could not fathom Philip’s way of doing things. Very soon, Philip and his men drove to the medical association branch office that Smyth had proposed to meet up. Smyth was sitting in the office at the moment, hugging his secretary. He felt that he had won. When Philip arrived, not only would he order him to release Hendricks, but he would also demand a fortune from him! For such a large enterprise like the Beacon Group, he would get at least hundreds of millions! Very soon, the intercom rang. “President Smyth, they’re here.” “Very good, bring them up.” Smyth smiled and motioned for the female secretary to leave. He could hardly wait. After a while, the office door was pushed open and the assistant walked in with Philip. “Mr. Clarke.” Smyth laughed, got up, and stretched his hand toward Philip. Philip shook his hand and said with a smile, “Mr. Smyth, we meet again. I didn’t expect you to be the regional president of the medical association.” Smyth smiled, invited Philip to take a seat graciously, and said, “Mr. Clarke is still the same as the last I saw you. I hope we can be friends.” Friends? Hehe. Philip snickered and said straightforwardly, “You may start talking about what you want. After all, my daughter is in your hands right now.” Smyth shook his head, poured a glass of red wine, and said, “Mr. Clarke, I don’t think that matter is urgent. Let’s do it this way. I’d like to ask about the assets of your wife’s company first.”
Hearing this, Philip immediately understood the other party’s intentions. Interesting. Not only was he unrepentant, but he still wanted to make a fortune out of him at this time. “I don’t really understand what you mean. Why don’t you make it clearer for me?” Philip said. Smyth smiled and said, “I heard that some time ago, Milanelson Angel Investment Group invested a lot of money in Beacon. I wonder how much it is?” Philip pretended to think about it, then smiled and said, “Not much, just a little.” Smyth shook his head and said, “According to my investigations, it’s not just a little.” Hehe. ‘Still trying to hide it from me at this time?’ Smyth sneered internally. Once Philip entered this door, he was nothing but a deer in the headlights, waiting to be knocked over. “Do you really want to find out?” Philip suddenly asked with a smile on his face. “Of course,” Smyth nodded and said. “Five billion,” Philip said directly. Immediately, Smyth’s eyes widened and he asked again in disbelief, “Five billion? Are you sure?!” Philip nodded and said with certainty, “Of course I’m sure, because that’s the amount I invested.” He invested? What did that mean? Smyth was a little confused at first, but he understood in an instant and asked inconceivably, “Are you the big boss behind Milanelson Angel Investment Group?”
