Don't come into contact with him!
The meeting started in the morning and lasted until the afternoon.
Regarding Phillips's proposal, everyone had their own opinions. After arguing for so long, there was no conclusion.
But, this matter attracted the attention of the higher ups.
When they came out, Qiao Qiao and Phillips walked together. She asked, "Phillips, what do you want to do?"
In front of Qiao Qiao, Phillips was like the boy next door. He smiled and said, "I just want to help you. If you give up your child's inheritance rights, the final winner will still be Ravel. But if my proposal passes, your child will have the right to inherit."
"You are doing this for me?"
Phillips revealed a sincere smile. "Of course. You are the person that our Elder House thinks highly of. Compared to the treacherous and cunning Ravel, we hope more for an upright ruler to lead us."
Qiao Qiao laughed dryly.
She was not an upright person. And she did not plan to be the Queen forever.
But she remembered Adam's warning that this matter could not be revealed to outsiders. So she did not refute Phillips. She revealed a smile and said, "No matter if this proposal passes or not, I have to thank you. Thank you for standing by my side."
"Haha, this is an inevitable choice. And …" Phillips's voice paused.
"And?"
Qiao Qiao waited for him to continue.
"Even if the Elder House does not support you, I will continue to support you." Phillips's words were incomparably sincere. No one could see the slightest trace of hypocrisy.
Qiao Qiao was stunned.
The atmosphere did not seem right?
Phillips quickly changed the topic. He revealed a mischievous smile and asked, "Just now, you saw Ravel's face turn black. Tell me the truth, are you happy?"
Qiao Qiao was stunned. She carefully recalled Ravel's face just now. She also laughed and nodded, saying, "Happy! I'm pissed when I see that smug look on his face. Your proposal came at the right time! "
"Haha, if anyone bullies you in the future, I will help you deal with them. Don't tell anyone, I still have to maintain my image outside."
At this moment, Phillips felt like a child who hadn't grown up yet.
He had a childish side to him.
Just as Qiao Qiao was about to speak, He Shaochen walked straight over, but his expression was very ugly, as if someone owed him money.
"Why are you still dawdling here? Everyone has already left, yet you're still loitering around here? " He Shaochen's tone was unkind, and his sharp gaze swept over Phillips. If his gaze could turn into a sharp blade, Phillips would have been dismembered ten thousand times by now.
This man kept pestering Joe Qiao. He was definitely up to no good!
Qiao Qiao realized that she had been talking to Phillips for a long time, and there was no one in the conference room.
"I'm sorry, I didn't notice the time."
Qiao Qiao apologized softly, but He Shaochen didn't buy it. He was even angrier because of Qiao Qiao's words.
What did she mean by not noticing the time?
She was so happy when she was with this Phillips that she even forgot the time? Was she sure that she didn't say that on purpose to anger him?
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got!
He Shaochen's dark eyes were filled with malice. He walked in front of Phillips, and his voice reached a new height. "I don't care if you're the Chairman of the Elders' Compound or someone else, but remember this clearly. If you dare to have any improper thoughts about Joe Qiao, believe me, I will make sure you die a horrible death!"
His slender fingers pressed against Phillips's chest, and his aura seemed to suppress everything.
"…"
The smile on Phillips's face gradually disappeared. He stood there without a word, but his hands were clenched into fists, and the veins on the back of his hands were slightly protruding.
"He Shaochen, what are you doing?"
Qiao Qiao didn't expect He Shaochen to be so hostile towards Phillips. She quickly tugged on his sleeve. "Phillips is our ally, can you be more polite?"
"I don't know the word 'polite' to people who have ulterior motives towards you!"
He Shaochen said coldly.
"You …"
He Shaochen turned to Phillips and said, "Phillips, don't forget what I said today!"
After saying that, he stretched out his hand and wrapped it around Qiao Qiao's neck, then dragged her away.
Phillips stood there, staring blankly at He Shaochen and Qiao Qiao leaving. He didn't know how long had passed, but his lips curved coldly.
He was now looking forward to seeing the arrogant and insufferably arrogant attitude of this person in power in the near future.
…
Qiao Qiao was rudely dragged out of the royal family's meeting hall by He Shaochen. He was very fast, and he didn't care if she could keep up with his pace. He was completely bent on his own way.
Qiao Qiao could only jog to catch up to him, so as not to be dragged down by the strong force. She bit her lower lip and asked in a low voice, "Shaochen, what are you angry about?"
She felt that He Shaochen's anger was inexplicable. Was it that as long as a man got close to her, he would be hostile?
Adam was like this, and so was Phillips.
He Shaochen suddenly stopped.
Qiao Qiao couldn't control her forward momentum, and her body leaned forward. Just as she was about to touch the ground intimately, she fell into a gentle embrace in the next second.
Before she could say anything, He Shaochen pinched her chin, forcing her to raise her head. He Shaochen hugged her slender waist, and her lips were covered by the other party. He kissed her without restraint, without any scruples, as if he was deliberately hurting her in revenge. He Shaochen didn't let go of her until Qiao Qiao started to have trouble breathing.
"Qiao Qiao, I've already told you many times to stay away from Phillips! Do you even understand human language?! "
"I'm just talking to him about business."
Qiao Qiao panted slightly as she tried to explain herself.
But He Shaochen, who was in a fit of anger, didn't listen to her at all. His dark eyes were filled with anger, and his slender fingers rubbed her slightly swollen lips as he asked in a deep voice, "Just talking about business? Do we need to talk and laugh when talking about business? Do we need to talk about business in a place where there's no one around? Didn't you see that Phillips's eyes weren't pure when he looked at you? "
"Sorry, I really didn't see that."
Qiao Qiao turned her face away and said indifferently. She was a little dissatisfied with being yelled at by He Shaochen, so her words became more perfunctory.
He Shaochen stubbornly turned her head around and ordered, "You're not allowed to come into contact with Phillips!"
He Shaochen had just received news that Madam Hong, who was investigating the J Organisation, had been murdered. Her body had been cut into several pieces and fed to the dogs. They had only officially confirmed that Madam Hong had been murdered after checking the dog's feces.
He Shaochen knew that this was the J Organisation's way of warning the others.
If they investigated further, who knew what kind of danger would await them.
He wasn't afraid of the J Organisation's revenge, but he was afraid that Qiao Qiao would be used by those people. He couldn't bear the risk.
Although they still couldn't find any evidence to prove that Phillips was also a member of the J Organisation, he was sure that he was! It was because of this that when he saw Qiao Qiao so close to Phillips, he became angry and angry.
He was too afraid that she would be in danger.
But Qiao Qiao didn't know He Shaochen's thoughts at all, so she bluntly rejected him. "Impossible!"
"I dare you to say it again."
He Shaochen narrowed his eyes, which were filled with a layer of anger.
Qiao Qiao took a deep breath and said calmly, "But Phillips is very useful to me now. You know that you are biased against him, but Phillips's proposal might completely topple Ravel. I can't cut ties with him. Besides, my relationship with the Elders has developed to this point. It's impossible for me to not see him."
It was simply impossible for her to not come into contact with Phillips!
Even if she promised He Shaochen that she wouldn't see him, she couldn't do it.
Qiao Qiao wouldn't make a promise if she couldn't do it.
"What proposal?"
He Shaochen frowned.
How could he make Qiao Qiao change her opinion of him so much?
"Amend the Royal Family's Inheritance Rights Act. This way, as long as you have the bloodline of the clan, you can have the right of inheritance within three generations."
This proposal was the same as He Shaochen's amendment of He Clan's inheritance rights law.
It seemed that Phillips was indeed helping Qiao Qiao.
"That man is so kind?"
He Shaochen still didn't believe it.
"I don't know what his ultimate goal is, but in terms of the result, it's not bad for me." Qiao Qiao shrugged.
In terms of the result.
It was indeed not bad.
But He Shaochen still felt that there was something fishy about this matter.
He narrowed his eyes and held Qiao Qiao tightly in his arms. He lowered his head to look at her and asked unhappily, "You're saying so much. Don't tell me you're just trying to put in a good word for him. You really don't like him? "
Otherwise, why did she say that Phillips was so good?
When would this vinegar jar be cured?
Qiao Qiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She said, "I do have a good impression of him because so far, Phillips hasn't done anything bad to me. However, I just like him as a friend. Can you not generalize?"
"Hmph, it better be like this."
He Shaochen's expression improved a little.
After observing his expression, Qiao Qiao breathed a sigh of relief. She finally appeased him.
… …
The Elders' Compound.
After Phillips returned to his office, he pulled down the curtain and turned on the device to selectively block signals. He then turned on a black laptop.
The boot screen was a capital "J".
Soon, a vague voice appeared on the screen.
Phillips's attitude was much more respectful. His usual gentle face became serious. He reported, "Your Highness, everything is progressing steadily. The bill has been proposed in the Royal Parliament. This matter concerns whether Lilith's child can obtain the right of inheritance. His Family will definitely help from the side. It's only a matter of time before the bill is passed."
There was a piercing sound, and Phillips was able to understand the meaning behind it with an expressionless face.
He put his right hand on his chest and nodded. "Yes, I will speed up the progress. In order to fulfill your long-cherished wish, I will do my best."
There was another "crackling" sound.
The screen suddenly turned black.
Phillips closed the computer and drew the curtains around it. Sunlight immediately seeped in.
He stood in front of the window and looked down at the building below.
