Seriously, How Did He Win My Heart

Chapter 997 Stay Peace and Quiet

Marcel stormed into the police station with a lawyer. He recognized the man who sat next to the table. It

was Phil. Who didn't know Phil's name in Riverside City?

It couldn't be him having conflicts with his son?

Seeing the wounds in Tristin's face, Marcel was at a dilemma.

When Marcel was hesitating about the next move, his lawyer greeted Phil with great respect, "Mr.

Henderson …"

And then the lawyer stepped back, which put Marcel in a bigger quandary.

Phil was highly esteemed in Riverside City, not only because of his reputation as a top lawyer and

owning the best law firm in Riverside City but also out of his exceptionally close relationship with Julian

and Ezra.

These people were rising stars in Riverside City's business world. It would be just to say that they

represented the future of this city. Their close relationship fostered their business connections.

To establish business relationship was not easy in such a fierce competition environment. And this kind

of friendship was fragile even when people succeeded in forming benefit-based relationship. Friend

would turn into enemy for profit in the blink of eye.

But this was the opposite in Phil and his friend's case. They were lifelong friend in private. It was said

that their friendship were built since they were in school.

Scarcely there were people in Riverside City bold enough to pick a quarrel with them. Nevertheless,

now his son …

Marcel's heart sank. He asked Tristin, "What happened?"

Noticeably his son got bigger hurt. Thinking of his experience of being assaulting in the earlier days,

Marcel was sorrowful. But then he came up with an idea. Could it be Phil who made his son get hurt in

last time?

Phil's characteristic of being hard to deal with was well-known in the city.

People in their small group had different personalities. Julian was the mature and sedate kind, aka

poker face; Ezra was more accessible with his constant smile.

However, Phil had a highly volatile personality. He laughed when he felt happy but he could be an

asshole when he was in low spirits. This man acted as harsh as possible in a fight, making his

opponent miserably suffering.

It was said that he married a mystery girl who was a couple of years younger than him. There had been

many rumors about his wife, about how she seduced him for money, which was the reason why Phil

didn't like how others viewed at her and never took her out.

Some also said that his wife was depressed because of his mental instability. The evidence was that in

earlier years he was seen to take his wife to see a psychiatrist.

Marcel thought he might be able to handle the situation if it was Julian or Ezra sitting there. As for

Phil…

Marcel was deeply troubled, especially when his and Phil's ferocious gaze met.

Tristin didn't expect such reaction of his father. His father at his old age cowering in front of Phil was

annoyingly humiliating!

Tristin elaborated, "As you can see, I had a fight with Phil and I need a lawyer to help me charge him

and do an injury assessment in the hospital.

Noticing Tristin's attitude, Marcel felt that something icy crawled its way up his back. Tristin was his only

son, the one he had partiality to. But now…

Before Marcel could say anything, Phil grinned sneeringly.

The lawyer that Marcel brought gave a little cough and said, "Mr. Murphy, I am afraid it's beyond my

ability to handle your case. Please allow me to leave first because I still have some unfinished

business."

The lawyer walked away after saying this, which made Marcel both awkward and vexed.

Marcel knew that his lawyer left to avoid being the enemy of Phil.

Seeing that, Phil turned and said to Tristin, "Our company can help if you need a lawyer. I guarantee

that they will do their upmost to help you sue me. We serve our clients under the guidance of laws."

What Phil said greatly annoyed Tristin. He jerked up and intended to say something. Marcel stopped

him and said imperatively, "Whatever you want to do, stay peace and quiet this time!"

Now Tristin could see his father's planning. His father didn't have the gut to declare a war on Phil. His

father didn't dare to do so even when he was beaten to death by Phil, in that he was afraid.

When Marcel and Tristin silently confronting each other, Phil who had been sitting there casually said,

"Mr. Murphy, you probably don't know that your son had unusual affection towards my ex-wife."

Phil's statement came as a shock to everyone being present, including the police. It made Tristin

ashamed.

It never occurred to Tristin that Phil, the lunatic, exposed his affection to Anya in such public place. He

gritted his teeth and glared at Phil angrily.

Marcel immediately apologized, "Mr. Henderson, today's incident is our fault. Please forgive us."

"We will drop the accusation and never bother you again."

Marcel earlier wondered why his son kept picking fight with Phil. It turned out that Phil's ex-wife, a

woman, was the reason!

Phil lifted his eyebrows and deliberately said, "But it seems that your son isn't happy with the

settlement."

"Not at all." Marcel denied without hesitation and then dragged Tristin, trying to get him to behave

himself.

"Well then. Let's get out of here." Phil didn't want to waste another minute in this place. These men

didn't deserve his attention. He didn't lose anyway.

Albeit some wounds, he was able to give full vent to his anger.

Having some wounds were even better because he could forget the hurt brought by Anya temporarily.

Ezra would accuse him of self-abuse if Ezra learnt his thinking.

The police was happy to see that they were willing to reconcile, although Tristin was seemingly

reluctant.

Then they exited the station. Marcel dragged Tristin into the car while Phil got in the car in no hurry.

Instead of driving away immediately, Phil looked in the direction of Marcel and Tristin. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

He was well aware that Tristin won't quit right away, but for now he had no plan to fight back. Let this

man carry on his revenge. Phil would not take care of Tristin before Anya came back because he

wanted to show Anya Tristin who he really was, as the man she once admired.
