Chapter 82 William's Advice
When Karl heard that he had been compared to trash, his face froze instantly. He reached out to grab Ann's arm. When she saw Karl make a move, she quickly moved to the side and leaned onto a man's embrace.
Smelling the familiar scent of cologne, Ann raised her head and saw Phillip with a gloomy face.
Karl wanted to dodge, but Phillip grabbed his collar swiftly.
He raised his hand and was about to punch him when William, who heard the noise in the kitchen, walked out.
Seeing them, he was shocked, "Stop! What happen?"
Karl took the opportunity to release himself from Phillip's hand and hid behind William, gritting his teeth and complaining.
"Phillip, don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you have power and money. Ann is my woman!"
William was stunned and a bit out of breath when he saw that Phillip, whose handsome face looked very gloomy, was holding Ann's waist around his arms.
"What... what is going on?"
Seeing that William's face turned pale, Ann hurriedly struggled to free of Phillip's hand and ran over.
"Dad, are you alright? Where is your medicine?"
Seeing this, Karl was also a bit scared, but when he saw Phillip's ashen face, he felt a sense of sinister pleasure in his heart.
As long as William believed that it was Phillip who used his power to ruin his relationship with Ann, with his upright and pedantic personality, he wouldn't allow Phillip and Ann to be together! Phillip knew clearly what Karl was thinking. He snorted.
He glanced at Ann, who was hurriedly helping William lie down on the sofa, and pulled Karl out of the apartment.
In the corridor, Phillip grabbed Karl by the neck. He looked at Karl's red face when he strangled him fiercely. Phillip's dark eyes revealed his homicidal intent.
"How difficult do you think it is to make a person completely disappear from this world?"
Phillip's voice was cold and bone-chilling. He said that not only warning but also for threatening Karl.
Karl opened his eyes wide and looked at the dangerous and murderous look of Phillip. He couldn't help but break out in cold sweat, but he still struggled to give in. "You are just an illegitimate child who can't see the light. What's so great about you to obtain your power and money through dirty means?"
Phillip's eyes were cold as he sneered, "It's great enough to make you shut up with my power!"
After saying that, Phillip pushed Karl away. He saw Karl lying on the ground and coughing, and his handsome face was as cold as ice. "Get out of here!"
William took the medicine and slightly recovered, but his face still looked pale as he turned to look at Ann.
"Ann, what happened between you and Karl?"
Ann looked at William's aged face, pursed her lips, and spoke in a soft voice.
"Karl and I have broken up a long time ago. It is impossible for us to reconcile."
When William heard this, he smoothed his chest and calmed down for a while, and then looked at Nikki who Carson and Jackson were comforting beside him.
"What about Nikki?"
"I will raise her all by myself." Ann's eyelashes fluttered.
When William heard that Ann's tone was so determined, he sighed, thinking for a while, and asked hesitantly.
"Then what happened between you and Phillip? Do you really..."
He couldn't bring himself to say the rest.
No matter what, he was unwilling to believe that his daughter would be two-timing Karl now.
Ann hurriedly shook her head, "No, he and I are just friends. This matter has nothing to do with him."
William saw that Ann didn't look like she was lying, he was slightly reassured.
He was a man, and he could tell that the way Phillip looked at Ann was filled with possessiveness towards women.
However, Phillip was clearly a child from a rich family. They two had a great disparity in family background.
Moreover, judging from the situation just now, Karl's breakup with Ann was clearly caused by Phillip.
"You've grown up now. Even as your father, I can't interfere with your relationship with Karl. However, gossip is a fearful thing. If a girl has the reputation of having an affair, she will be looked down upon by others for the rest of her life. In the future, it's better for you to have less contact with Phillip!"
Ann's expression froze. She looked at the wrinkles at the corners of William's eyes. She lowered her head and fell into silence.
She knew that her father was thinking of her mother, the woman who had just given birth to her, then abandoned her husband and daughter for wealth, and disappeared.
Her father was unwilling to mention her mother for so many years because he loved her deeply back then, so he deeply hated her too.
William was afraid that his daughter would like her mother and bear a bad name for the rest of her life.
Thinking of Phillip, Ann felt a bit of pain in her heart and tried to explain.
"The relationship between Phillip and me is really not what you think..."
William frowned, "No matter what, since Karl would curse you like this, there must be someone else who thinks the same. You are a girl, so you must protect your reputation!" Ann's lips quivered slightly. She met William's expectant gaze and replied in a soft voice.
"Alright."
Phillip, who had his hand on the door handle and was about to push open the door to enter, suddenly stopped. A thousand thoughts came to his mind. He felt like his heart was beating like an angry deep sea, with the tide overwhelmingly roaring on the surface.0000
