Roger walked in, looking much better, his complexion was rosier, but he was thinner.
Philip looked up with an aloof expression and asked, “Are you feeling better?”
Roger smiled kindly, glanced at his son, and said, “Much better. It’s the first time you’re showing
concern for me.”
Philip frowned and said stubbornly, “You think too much. I don’t care about you.”
Seeing this, Fennel shook his head helplessly. He bowed slightly to Roger and said, “Patriarch Clarke,
are you sure you want to do this?”
Roger walked over, looked at Fennel with admiration, and said, “I’m sure. The Lovelace family’s affairs
are the Clarke family’s affairs. The affairs of the Lovelace family are related to the future direction of the
world. Time is running out for us, and I want to find out what the Lovelace family has been up to over
the years. I also hope to see some old friends whom I haven’t seen for a long time.”
Fennel frowned and asked, “I thought you didn’t know much about the Lovelace family either?”
Roger smiled and said, “The Lovelace family has taken precautions against the Clarke family. Many
times, I may not know as much as you. I more or less know about everything this time, so just ahead
and do it. If anything happens, I’ll take care of it. As long as I’m alive, the Lovelace family won’t dare to
do anything.”
Then, Roger said to Philip, “I need to speak to you.”
Hearing this, Fennel winked at Georgina, and the two left the room.
In the huge room, Philip remained with a cold face. Roger coughed violently. A trace of anger flashed in
Philip’s eyes, but he still stepped forward, helped Roger to sit on the sofa, and said, “You’re not well
yet. What are you doing out? I’ll find a way to deal with the Lovelace family.”
Roger sat on the sofa with Philip’s help and said with a smile, “You’ll find a way? What else can you
do? Are you going to rely on the Shadow Guards or your Legion of the Sovereign? Will you rely on
Fennel?”
Hearing this, Philip’s expression turned ugly. He looked at Roger with a frown and said, “Do you really
look down on me that much? In your opinion, I can’t find my own solution?”
Roger chuckled and said, “Son, I’m not looking down on you, but you still have a lot of room to grow.
What you’re facing now is definitely not like those petty fights in the past. Before this, you were willful.
The people and incidents you encountered before could perhaps be solved with money and the power
of the Clarke family. However, the people and forces you’re facing now are no longer limited to secular
definitions. Even if the Clarke family controls 70% of the world‘s economic power, that’s jointly owned
by the main and branch families. The main family owns 30% and the branch family owns 20%, while
the remaining 20% is controlled by the other side branches. The intricacy and complexity of all this are
not as simple as you think.”
After listening, Philip said grimly, “All of it belongs to the Clarke family, so why the differentiation? That’s
why I don’t like the way you manage the household. The Clarke family should be controlled by one
person, and there must only be one spokesperson. Otherwise, such a large family will fall apart sooner
or later.”
Roger nodded and said, “Phil, your thoughts coincided with mine when I was young, but many times,
many things can’t be solved easily. The Clarke family could survive to this day only because of these
side branches that allowed us to grow and expand. It’s also inevitable that things will go out of hand
when left unchecked.”
“Nonetheless, I do agree with what you said. But I’m old and don’t have so much time and energy to
rectify the Clarke family. I only hope that you can make drastic reforms, hold the Clarke family firmly in
your hands, and create a new Clarke family. This is what I want to see the most.”
After saying that, Roger’s eyes seemed to flicker before he patted his thigh and said, “Let’s leave this
topic and talk about your opinion about the Lovelace family. It’s impossible for you to deal with the
Lovelace family by yourself. The trump cards you hold in your hands right now may be powerful
enough in the eyes of outsiders, but to me or the Lovelace family, they’re nothing but child’s play.
There’s no longer a need for so many rules in this world. Only the strong are the law, and only the
strong can change the rules. The Lovelace family has been hiding underground for so many years, and
it’s not as if I’ve never tried to track them down. But I’m unable to deal with their problems too. Like the
Clarke family, the Lovelace family has a long history. If you really want to deal with them, now isn’t the
time yet. Your strength is still lacking.”
