The First Heir Chapter 158
200 million? Derrick almost fell down from his chair.“Director Stanley, are you sure you’re not joking? It’s obvious that the terms in this contract are more beneficial to Beacon.” Wynn felt like she was dreaming. This was unbelievable.Director Stanley smiled and said, “Miss Johnston, we’ve already signed it. What else are you worried about?”Wynn looked over and the contract was indeed signed. It was also stamped.This meant that as long as Wynn signed it, the contract would be in effect.It seemed like Philip and Professor Turner’s relationship was not that simple. There must be something she did not know.She had to go back and ask Philip.Recently, Wynn realized she understood Philip less and less. He had changed too much.When she thought about that, Wynn lifted the pen and was about to sign.However, at this moment!The door of the meeting room was opened. In a flash, eight bodyguards in suits barged in and stood at the door.An elegant woman with a strapless lon
The First Heir Chapter 159
After that icy woman left the meeting room, everyone still could not calm down.Wynn’s face was burning. She did not even know who that was.However, it seemed like she knew Philip.Derrick looked apologetic. He said, “Director Stanley, I’m sorry about that. Um, about our collaboration...”Director Stanley smiled and tried to soothe the awkwardness. “Of course there’s nothing wrong with the collaboration. We can just…”Before he could finish, Director Stanley’s phone rang.After he answered the call, Director Stanley said a few things before his face fell. “Alright, I got it.”“What’s wrong, Director Stanley? What’s going on?” Derrick could read the changes in Director Stanley’s face.Did something happen?“I’m sorry, Mr. Hall, Miss Johnston. We have to stop this collaboration. I don’t really know the details. I have to go back and discuss this further with Director Turner. I’m sorry.”Director Stanley said that and left with his people. There were now only Derrick and his

Lynn was panicking. She stomped her feet and grabbed Philip’s arm. She said, “Philip, tell them if this is real or not. No, you have to call Theo now and tell him to come here!”Lynn was starting to throw a tantrum.She had never been suspected like this before, so of course she was feeling unhappy.However, Philip shook his head and said, “I’m sorry, I don’t know any Theo Zander. Lynn, did you make a mistake?”“Hahaha!”Laughter immediately erupted.Lynn’s face went red. She could feel the detest coming from her friends.She felt like a featherless chicken that was standing in front of everyone naked. She was being criticized and shamed by everyone.“Lynn, that’s enough. Your brother-in-law has already said that, so stop lying to us already. We won’t laugh at you.”“Your brother-in-law is an honest man. He’s not that much of an idiot it seems.”“That’s enough. We’ll just go and have fun ourselves.”Her friends left while laughing.Lynn was livid. She turned around angrily

She was panicking!Martha was beyond frantic now. She hurriedly took out her phone with trembling hands and took a photo.She wanted to save some evidence so that she could go back and ask Philip.Naturally, Martha was suspicious of Philip’s identity now.How could a spineless coward get into the same luxury car as the richest man in Riverdale?Martha could not understand this. She turned around and left.When she got back home, she told Charles everything. “Charlie, look at this. Is this Philip?”Charles was fiddling with his birds. He put down the birdcage and put on his presbyopic glasses to take a look. He said, “Why did you take his picture? Are you still following Philip?”Charles was shocked. What was wrong with his wife?She was even using such cheap tricks to stalk him?Martha glared at him and smacked him on the arm. She said, “Look at the person next to him!”Charles was curious. He looked closely and exclaimed, “Is… Is that George Thomas?”Martha nodded and sat
The First Heir Chapter 162
Philip knew they would not believe him, so he purposely said that.Sometimes, people would not want to believe the truth.Martha did not say anything. It was unclear what she was thinking about. Then, she said in a commanding tone, “You don’t need to go to Wynn’s grandfather’s birthday that’s happening in two days. Just stay home.”Martha’s father would be celebrating his 70th birthday the day after tomorrow. She did not want to bring this cowardly man over.If not, she would be shamed endlessly by her family members from her maternal home.Plus, the old master had always been unhappy about Wynn’s marriage. Would she be congratulating her father or infuriating him by bringing Philip back?Philip expected this, so he did not say anything. He took out a box from his pocket and said, “Mom, this is the gift I prepared for the old master.”Martha looked at the embroidered box on the table and murmured, “What’s this? The box looks so bad. Are you giving him something that’s only worth
The First Heir Chapter 163
After he said that, Martha stared at Philip. Her gaze was sharp, looking as if she was trying to find something on Philip’s face. “What? Did you say you bought a house? Philip, do you know what you’re talking about? You’ve been poor for three years but now you can afford a house? I don’t think you can even afford a toilet!”Martha was furious. Philip was really something else. He was still trying to lie to her at this moment.He could afford a house?Martha even paid half of the amount of the house he and Wynn were living in right now.The average property price in Riverdale was 20,000 to 30,000 bucks per square feet.How could he afford that?“Mom, before I got married to Wynn, I brought over some savings from my home. I bought it recently so if you and dad want to live there, I can arrange for it right now,” Philip said calmly.This time, Charles could not continue watching this anymore. He had been fiddling with his antiques at one side before this. He scoffed and said, “Ph

Chloe Sommerset.How did Wynn know about Chloe?Philip was stunned. His words were stuck in his throat. He did not know how to answer her.Wynn’s eyes were red with some moisture in them. She looked at Philip and tried to catch something from the changes in his expression. In the end, she only felt disappointment.She was disappointed in Philip.Wynn covered her mouth and got up. Then, she left the room while sobbing.

Most people would be freaked out at the sight of his face. He took out a photo from his pocket and held it in his hand angrily. “Argent, you've enjoyed your life long enough. It’s time to get what you deserve.” The mysterious man smiled cruelly with obvious hatred for Argent. This whole incident had nothing to do with Philip at all. Philip was simply a pitiful pawn in these people’s hands. Philip never dreamed that someone would target him for no reason. He just wanted to improve his strength. He could not care less about what other people thought of him.… Time passed quickly. The next day, Philip did not expect these people to come after him so soon. He just wanted to have a good rest and find a suitable place to settle down, but these people were as annoying as pesky flies. “Philip, get out here at once. I want to see how strong you are. How dare you show off in front of me?” Argent yelled at Philip’s door in disdain. His right hand was bandaged tightly as if he was still

The mysterious man forced himself to contain his anger and smile at Argent. Argent knew that he had to stop asking for more. At this point, what was the most important? “I can give you Philip’s address, and we can deal with him tomorrow morning. If you teach him a good lesson, I’m sure he’ll listen to you,” Argent said smugly. His plan was simple. He wanted to use the other party to deal with Philip. Philip had messed with him earlier and crippled his right hand. He would have died if he had not stopped the bleeding in time. Therefore, the grudge between him and Philip was so deep that he could not wait to rip Philip into pieces. Argent and the mysterious man who refused to reveal his name quickly came up with a plan. “In that case, I’ll see you again tomorrow morning. I hope you won't let me down.” After saying this, the mysterious man zoomed into the distance and soon disappeared. Seeing the other party’s hasty retreat, Argent was full of disdain. “Hehe, you think too hig

“Wow, you guys are so generous to send me such a precious gift this time. Tell me more about the deal you want to discuss with me. If it’s up to my expectations, I can consider it.” Argent's mood changed for the better. He smiled brightly and did not consider other possibilities. He seemed to have forgotten the conflict and resentment he had toward Philip. “We know that a young heroic man has appeared in Deadly Arena this time. We’re very interested in him and have decided to recruit him. I heard that you fought him before. I wonder if he's as powerful as I imagined.” The other party did not introduce himself but looked at Argent with a smile. Argent scowled. He thought that this matter was over, but this guy brought it up again. He was obviously trying to belittle him. “Hehe, let’s forget it. I don’t have much of an opinion about Philip. He’s just an average person, nothing worth mentioning.” Argent was afraid of exposing his shame, so he tried to tarnish Philip’s reputati
The First Heir Chapter 5738
After confirming that he could leave safely, Argent ran away quickly, unwilling to stay a second longer. Philip was so terrifying that he wanted to keep his distance from him. Argent simply wanted to rob Philip of his treasures, but he was seriously injured instead. He could not accept it. Argent quickly ran back home. He had settled down with his family after such a long time. Given his strength, no one refused his requests. Argent’s family members simply wanted to follow someone strong, so they did not mind doing anything. In the meantime, an uninvited guest appeared at Argent’s home. He did not make an appointment with Argent in advance, so Argent did not know him. When Argent returned home in a mess, they bumped into each other. “I’m surprised to see the head of the family looking so miserable. I’m here at the right time.” The man stared at Argent mockingly as if he was enjoying the show. Argent was annoyed by his reaction, angry that an outsider had seen him in his most mi

Argent felt fear grip him. Philip’s earlier action was terrifying, as if he could grab his soul with a wave of his hand. Philip laughed at Argent’s hasty retreat, amused by his cowardice. “I just wanted to scare you. There's no need to dodge so quickly,” he said with a chuckle. Argent was furious by Philip’s shameless prank. Although he was angry, Argent had to give up his absurd plan when he thought of Philip's strength. Philip was not to be trifled with. He had to watch out. Before he could slip away and mess with Philip another day, Philip grabbed his right hand abruptly, leaving him no time to react. Argent’s right hand lost all sensation as if it had been crippled. He looked down at his right hand in a panic and was shocked to find that his right arm had vanished. “What the hell is going on? How could you do this to me?” He was shocked that Philip could break his defense so easily and cripple him. He was a force to be reckoned with, and not everyone could go against hi

Argent was nothing more than average, but he was so full of himself. Philip felt that he might be inferior to the other party in that aspect. “All the rewards are in my hands. If you really want them, you can try to defeat me and take them away. Otherwise, I’m afraid it’ll be difficult to get them with your strength.” Philip smiled at him. Although this guy was quite strong, he was no match for Philip. “I entered the top 100 of the advanced list when I was at your age. You’re nothing to me. Stop showing off in front of me.” A trace of disdain flashed across Argent’s face. He was clearly looking down on Philip. Philip nodded. This old man was very full of himself. His strength was undeniable, but it was nothing compared to Philip’s. “I heard that you don’t belong to a guild. Don't you feel ashamed? It’s a pity that no one is willing to take you in.” Philip smiled brightly. He said this on purpose to snub Argent. Argent was furious to hear Philip mocking him for this. He
The First Heir Chapter 5735
After hearing Philip’s remarks, the guy trembled in anger. His name was Argent, nicknamed Silver Snake. He first came into contact with a practice technique when he was a teenager. As he did not know anything, he simply practiced the technique on his own. Unexpectedly, there was a problem with this technique. His height remained what it was in his teens, but his appearance became old. At first, he thought that he would always look like a teenager, but his appearance gradually became old and terrifying. No matter where he went after that, people would treat him as an old man even though he was only in his early 40s. Thinking of this, he felt sorry for himself, and his hatred for Philip deepened. Not only did his appearance change, but his practice level also slowly dropped to rock bottom. His mind gradually became more and more twisted because of this. Then, he stumbled into a cave and received a heritage by chance. The heritage was evil, but it helped him improve his practice

Philip nodded at the other party’s grace. “Not bad, that young man is quite decent.” Even though the other party was a middle-aged man, Philip called him a young man. Philip knew that someone else would approach him very soon. He could use this opportunity to find out more about the force behind the other party. He quickly reserved the inn and wandered around the streets. He wanted to see how many people were following him. Everyone had their own agenda and was up to no good. Philip soon saw a sneaky old man who did not seem to pose any threat. The old man looked at Philip thoughtfully with a hint of ridicule, which gave Philip an unpleasant feeling. “You should know the purpose of my visit. Do I need to elaborate?” the old man cut to the chase. Philip shook his head helplessly at the old man’s arrogance. The old man in front of him was quite powerful or he would not have been so arrogant. He thought he could deal with Philip easily with his strength. “You’re obviousl

Philip was surprised to hear that. “So, my performance was so outstanding that they can't wait to get rid of me.” Philip glanced at Duncan. Since he was not here for his money, there was no problem. Besides, he did not seem like a bad guy. “I have a job to do. I have to fulfill my responsibilities and obligations, so I need to report the situation truthfully.” Duncan knew he could not deal with Philip, so he had to find another way to negotiate with him. “If you promise not to take part in another match, I can consider letting you go for the time being. That way, I can go back and report my findings too.” He did not mention his men whom Philip took down as if they were not important at all. “Of course, I can’t agree to that. This isn’t as simple as you think. The people behind Deadly Arena won’t let me off so easily. Don’t worry about that,” Philip said with a smile. Since he knew that Duncan was from Deadly Arena, there was nothing more to say. Philip knew that Lyle
