Chapter 115: Lily (5)
Adam did not resist. He just watched and waited his mind a whirlwind of questions and calculations.
A short while later Philips came down to the basement. He was a completely different person. He had changed out of his school uniform into expensive designer clothes.
"So this is your true self," Adam said looking at Philips with a newfound understanding.
"You’re all the same," Philips said his voice a low dangerous whisper that was far more terrifying than any shout.
"I tried to leave you all alone to live your pathetic little lives. But you just had to interfere. You always have to stick your noses where they don’t belong."
Adam was confused. He could not believe that Philips had been acting all this time. He had been so convincing so perfect in his role as the quiet timid class representative.
He realized then that Philips had no real friends. He was always polite always friendly. But he was always alone. He never went home with anyone after school. He never studied with anyone. He had been living a lie for a very long time.
"You’re going to regret this Philips," Anderson screamed his voice filled with a mixture of fear and a desperate defiance. "Do you know who my father is? He’ll hunt you down! He’ll make you pay for this!"
One of Philips’s men a large imposing figure with a shaved head stepped forward and punched Anderson hard in the face. Blood trickled from his mouth and he cried out in pain.
"Your father is nothing more than a servant in my eyes," Philips said his voice a cold dismissive wave of his hand. "And even if he finds out that I’ve killed you he won’t do anything once he knows who I really am."
