Chapter 1098

“Have you heard? Is it the end of the road for the Hull family?”

“Alas, who expected the former giant family to suddenly declare bankruptcy today?”

“Who’s taking action against the Hull family with such domineering methods?”

The entire Riverton, as long as they were a member of the upper class, discussed the Hull family’saffairs wherever they went.

At the same time, in the largest hotel suite in Riverton. Philip stood in front of the French windows withhis hands in his pockets, looking across the river that overlooked the entire city of Riverton.

Sure enough, it was a fertile land with a bustling economy.

It was surrounded by high-rise buildings.

It had been a day since Philip arrived in Riverton.

On this day, he had been taking Theo and the others to stroll around Riverton.

Wherever he went, everything belonged to the Hull family.

He was making preparations.

Was it true that the huge Hull family of Riverton reached this stage entirely on their own?

It should not be.

The rumors spread by Seamus last time were actually made by Philip.

This was Philip’s ploy.

Colin had guessed it wrong.

After a while, the suite door was pushed open.

Theo walked in first and respectfully said to Philip, “Mr. Clarke, Knox Lowell is here.”

Philip nodded faintly, turned around, and saw an old man leaning on crutches walking in with tremblingsteps. He was naturally followed by Seamus behind him.

“Young Master Clarke, how do you do?”

Knox bowed, full of respect.

If outsiders found out that the all-powerful Knox Lowell, an existence that could rock the heavens, wasbeing so respectful to a junior at this moment, it would definitely cause an uproar!

Philip glanced at him casually, sat on the leather sofa, and said, “Old Master Lowell, how many peoplehave you fooled with this appearance?”

Knox did not panic when he heard the words. Instead, he smiled, straightened his body, and said, “Ican’t hide from your wise eyes.”

Having said that, Knox’s sickly guise dissipated and was replaced by a dominant intensity.

However, in front of Philip, he controlled it very well.

Seamus also respectfully said at this moment, “Young Master Clarke, I’ve done everything you ordered.The Hull family must be on tenterhooks right now. What can the Lowell family do for you next?”

Philip nodded, thought for a while, and said, “I need Old Master Lowell to step forward next.”

When Knox heard the words, he immediately bent down and lowered his head, looking forward to it. “Iawait Young Master Clarke’s orders.”

This was a clear indication.

“Mobilize all of Lowell family’s manpower to guard the various exits of Riverton and prevent all foreignforces from entering. Can this be done?” Philip asked.

When Knox heard this, he visibly trembled as his face changed slightly. With a hesitant expression, heasked, “Young Master Clarke, why do you want to do this? Doing so will inevitably arouse the vigilanceand awareness of many people. The Hull family will guess that something is up. Isn’t it alerting theenemy?”

Philip got up, stood with his hands behind his back, and smiled while saying, “Precisely. I want the Hullfamily to think that I’m relying on the Lowell family. This way, I can arrange my people. Understand?”

Knox understood Philip’s meaning in an instant and nodded hurriedly. “I understand. I’ll makearrangements immediately.”

After that, Knox and Seamus retreated.

Philip and Theo were left in the huge suite.

Theo looked at the scenery outside the window and said, “Mr. Clarke, has it started?”

Philip’s eyes flashed, and the corners of his mouth showed a faint sneer. He said, “It has started.”
