Chapter 2560

Steven smiled, nodded in response, and said, “I’d better call you Mr. Clarke.”

Philip was not bothered.

They stood at the entrance of the castle and watched the intoxicating pool party inside. Many

prominent figures in the West were at the scene, mingling and chatting. Philip and the others also

found a corner and sat down for the time being.

A waiter walked over and served them wine.

Philip looked at the frolicking crowd nearby, then asked Fennel and Steven in a low voice, “Is the

private event tonight this pool party? Is the election of the gods such child’s play in the West?”

Without waiting for Fennel to speak, Steven explained, “Mr. Clarke, you’ve misunderstood. This is just

an appetizer before the private party. The main event will come later. What you see now is just the

prelude. The real big shots are usually inside.”

As Steven said that, he motioned with his eyes for Philip and Fennel to look at the second floor of the

splendid castle.

Philip looked up. Indeed, he could see the huge open-air balcony on the second floor of the castle from

here. Many dignitaries chatted and occasionally glanced at the partying crowd below.

“However, we have no internal invitation, so we can only take a look from here. Only the core guests of

this private party can enter the second floor, including all the forces related to the Lovelace family.”

Steven made full use of his intelligence expertise and introduced several big shots to Philip and Fennel.

“The old man with gray hair is Hubert Marjorie, the president of a listed company with total assets

amounting to 30 billion dollars. He manages the import and export business for the Lovelace family in

the dark and sometimes smuggles weapons.”

Philip’s eyes fell on an old man with gray hair on the second floor. He looked plump and flushed as he

sipped wine and chatted with a few women.

“That tall guy over there is Pete Faraday, the person in charge of liaison and main agent for the

Lovelace family in Sendona. He has many abnormal forces in his hand and likes to come up with

devious methods, but this person has greed for money and lust.”

Steven took a sip of his wine and said with a sneer, “Maybe you can start with him and get a lot of

inside information about the Lovelace family.”

Philip’s eyes narrowed as he took a serious look at the tall man.

Pete Faraday…

“Is there a chance to bring him over for a chat?” Philip looked at Fennel.

Fennel nodded and said, “No problem.”

Steven continued to introduce, “The Eastern woman in a red backless dress over there is an important

person tonight. She’s a core member of the Lovelace family called Cleo Lovelace. According to the

intelligence, she’s the sister of Shane Lovelace. She’s a very intelligent woman with a great mind and

means.”

Hearing that, Philip and Fennel looked over.

On the second floor, the woman in a red backless dress had delicate facial features and was a

gorgeous beauty. She was very elegant and dignified.

Shane’s elder sister, Cleo Lovelace.

As if she sensed the three people’s gazes, Cleo looked over at the southeast corner downstairs. She

made eye contact with Philip. Cleo smiled, and her eyes seemed to be twinkling. After this brief eye

contact, Cleo said something to several people around her before she turned around and disappeared

from sight.

Steven continued, “That one over there is…”

After introducing many people in a row, Philip got a rough idea of these people.

For the vacant position of the gods, the Lovelace family had gone to great lengths indeed.

“So, what do you think are the chances of Shane becoming the new god?” Philip frowned and asked

Fennel.

Fennel shrugged, leaned back, and said, “It’s hard to say. Whether he can become a god, the forces

under his command are one factor, but Zeus will decide in the end. Otherwise, he can only obtain the

position by a challenge.”

Philip fell silent.

They just sat there for a while. At this time, a fragrance wafted over. The next moment, a clear and

pleasant voice rang out.

“It’s an honor to welcome Mr. Clarke to the Lovelace family’s castle.”

Philip looked up and saw Cleo in her red backless dress, looking very noble as she walked up to them.

With a glass of whiskey in her hand, she toasted Philip.

Steven’s eyes narrowed as he looked at Cleo and whispered in Philip’s ear, “Mr. Clarke, be careful.

This woman is not easy to deal with.”

Philip frowned and said, “Do you know me, Miss Lovelace?”

Cleo said graciously, “Of course. By right, you can be considered the son-in-law of our Lovelace family,

right, Mr. Clarke?”

Hiss! The surrounding air quickly froze.

Philip took a sip of the wine in his hand, raised his eyebrows to look at the smiling Cleo, and asked,

“Are you here for something, Miss Lovelace?”

Cleo shrugged and said with a smile, “It’s nothing much. I just think that I should remind you, lest

something unpleasant happens later.”

Philip put down the wine glass in his hand, raised his eyebrows, and asked, “Something unpleasant?”

Cleo pursed her lips and said, “You’ll know in a while. I won’t disturb you any further. I hope you have a

good time.”

With that said, Cleo turned around and left. Philip and the others fell into silence.

What did Cleo mean?

Fennel shook his head in puzzlement and said, “Let’s wait and see what happens.”

Soon, the pool party ended. Amid the lights and applause, those people on the second floor of the

castle also came down to the platform on the first floor to have fun with everyone.

Cleo stood in the center of the platform and said to everyone with a smile, “I’m very glad that everyone

could come to this private party we’re hosting tonight. Next, let’s invite the two main stars of the

evening.”

Clap, clap, clap!

Amid the thunderous applause, two well-dressed figures walked out from the castle hall surrounded by

servants. One was young and handsome, dressed in a white suit like a Prince Charming from a fairy

tale. There was an evil charm at the corners of his mouth, Shane Lovelace.

The other one wore a black evening dress. She walked with noble and elegant steps, looking very

charming and gracious. Moreover, as soon as she appeared, she attracted the attention of the

audience. She looked dazzling under the lights.

An Eastern woman was actually so beautiful!

Everyone could not help but compliment her secretly.

When Philip saw the woman in the black evening dress, he stood up abruptly!

Wynn Johnston!
