Nora was simply too sleepy and she kept yawning again and again.
She looked up at Philip and slowly asked, "What do you want to talk about?"
Her voice was a little hoarse and carried a bit of impatience from having just woken up.
Philip:"?"
His brows drew together tightly.
Jason said, "The one we want to talk to is Big Sister. Ms. Smith, you..."
But before he could finish, something suddenly dawned on him and he looked at Nora in disbelief. Then, he turned to Philip. "Boss..."
Philip lowered his gaze, his lips suddenly curling into a smile.
"1 see, Ms. Smith is none other than the Big Sister of the Quinn School of Martial Arts! No offense, but do you really want to interfere in the affairs between me and Iris?"
His voice was clear and he spoke in an exceptionally relaxed manner. "There are some misunderstandings between Iris and me, so we are in the midst of a petty lovers' argument right now. Considering how deeply in love Ms. Smith and Justin are, you should understand, right? You won't want to split up a pair of lovers, right?"
Nora looked at Philip and said, "Women have become independent these days. Whether she wants to continue her relationship with you or not, and whether she wants to leave with you or not, is entirely up to my god-s...
Aunt Iris to decide."
Philip:"?"
Nora raised her eyebrows again. "Release her and I'll let all of you leave safely. Otherwise, Mr. Coleman, you might as well stay here for the countdown on New Year's eve."
Philip broke into a huge frown.
Next to him, Jason said, "Boss, we can let her go right now. We'll just find a way to take her away again in the future."
Philip took a deep breath and looked at Iris.
He'd thought that with the Smiths and the Hunts' capabilities, they would not be able to keep him here in America.
Never had he ever imagined that the Quinn School of Martial Arts and New York's underworld forces would also get involved. If he met them head-on, his hundred or so men would surely be goners.
Philip was a man who knew how to retreat when he should.
Yet if he were to let Iris go just like that... He didn't want to!
At the side, the three children stood on their tippy-toes as they watched the show. Xander asked, "Will he let Grandma go?"
Cherry replied, "That fierce grandpa definitely will!"
Pete nodded. "Yeah, he won't hurt Grandma."
However, Cherry said, "That's not necessarily true. But since Mommy is here, there definitely won't be any problem!"
Pete and Xander:
The three chatted happily. At this moment, a foreign mercenary not far from them suddenly rushed towards them! He stood right in front of the three children, looked at Nora, and threatened, "Let us go! Or else I will kill your children!"
Nora:"?"
Everyone raised their eyebrows and looked at Philip reproachfully.
Iris shouted, "No!"
She looked at Philip and said angrily, "Philip, is this the moral boundary that you claimed to have? Didn't you say that you wouldn't do anything to the children?!"
