The First Heir Chapter 1589
Very soon, ten minutes went by. There was still no movement downstairs. Bernard was even standing at the window and deliberately looking outside. Except for a few cars that drove past, there was no sign of any delivery trucks on the streets. There was not even a person! He turned around, shook his head at Martin, and said, “Martin, there’s nothing downstairs.” Martin immediately slapped his hands on the armrests, got up, and laughed unrestrainedly. He mocked Philip, “My dear nephew, what now? Ten minutes have passed. Where are your cash delivery trucks? Where’s the 1.6 billion dollars in cash? Hahaha!” Immediately after, the surrounding directors also spoke sarcastically, “I'm laughing my ass off. It's really fun to watch this drama at night.” “Yes, even though I’m an old man now, I can still watch such funny things happening. I’ll remember this for the rest of my life. Maybe I can even live longer from laughing at this.” “Philip, where’s your convoy? We’ve waited for te
The First Heir Chapter 1590
There was 50 million dollars in each case! Seeing this, the hearts of Martin and the others dropped to rock bottom! Philip actually got his hands on 1.6 billion dollars? In such a short time too! This was terrifying! What kind of strength would it take to do all this? Martin was flustered and extremely scared. What kind of monster was he fighting against? With such strength, why was Philip still in the Johnston family where he had to suffer from the contempt of others? “Did you prepare all this?” Martin was still a little suspicious. However, right after that, a middle-aged man in a gray suit quickly ran in from the door. He stood respectfully in front of Philip, bent over, and said with his head lowered, “Young Master Clarke, thank you for using Swiss Bank. Here’s 1.6 billion dollars in cash. This is your black card. Please check it.” Swoosh! Everyone was shocked when they heard the Swiss Bank being mentioned. At this moment, seeing the middle-aged man respec
The First Heir Chapter 1591
This damned Philip dared to threaten them like this! Abominable! How hateful! After Philip left, Bernard breathed a sigh of relief and asked his second brother, “Martin, what should we do now? We’ve really landed ourselves in trouble. I don’t think Philip will let it go. Who would have thought that he actually has a black card from the Swiss Bank? This is simply unbelievable!” Bernard was very uneasy. How could they deal with Philip, a person who owned a black card from the Swiss Bank? It was impossible! Such a person could make all of them bankrupt and homeless just by lifting his finger. Martin’s face was very unpleasant. Standing with his hands behind his back, there was a mess of emotions on his face. Several members of the board also looked worried and sorrowful at this moment. They looked at Martin and asked, “Mr. Johnston, what should we do now? We’re stuck in a rut with you now.” “That's right, Mr. Johnston. We withdrew our capital from Beacon after listening
The First Heir Chapter 1592
Early the next morning, Martin and Bernard brought everyone to Beacon Group’s conference room. The atmosphere in the entire conference room was somber and tense. Everyone seemed to be deep in thought. Last night, most of them had received solicitations from two different parties, either at home or at the clubhouse. Today's shareholders meeting was crucial. Martin settled into the chairman's seat while Bernard sat next to him. He coughed lightly, signaling everyone to be quiet. He then spoke directly, “Today's shareholders meeting is very simple. I, Martin Johnston, will also be very straightforward and won’t beat around the bush. Today, I’ll resign from all positions in Beacon and will no longer serve as chairman of the board.” As soon as he said that, discussions broke out in the conference room. Martin’s time in power was short and no one expected him to resign so soon. Everyone had different opinions on this. Next, Martin continued, “However, please rest assured
The First Heir Chapter 1593
Philip’s sudden appearance caused everyone in the meeting room to be at a loss for words. They felt unsettled! One of them stood up abruptly, pointed at Philip, and sternly said, “Who are you? Who let you in? Don’t you know where this is? Security, kick them out!” This person was a newcomer and Martin had just promoted him, so he naturally did not know who Philip was. Philip turned his head and glanced at the guy. With a faint smile at the corners of his mouth, he said, “Take him down.” Swoosh! Two black-suited thugs behind him stepped forward and pinned that man to the floor! Instantly, the man howled, “Mutiny! Who the hell are you? This is Beacon’s conference room. How dare you act so boldly?! Security, where's the security?” Bam! As a result, Philip walked over and kicked the man's chest violently, sending him flying. He hit the seat heavily before falling to the ground. The man clutched his chest with a wail and could not get up for a while. With Philip’s kick,
The First Heir Chapter 1594
Swish! Instantly, more than a dozen thugs rushed over and directly pressed all those who just voiced out to the floor! In a flash, the conference room was in chaos! More than a dozen people who stood on Martin’s side were harshly pinned to the floor by Theo’s men! They howled in anger, “Damn it! Who are you to do this to us? We’re the shareholders of Beacon! Even if Wynn were here, she wouldn't dare to do this to us!” “Let go of us or we’ll go to the Riverdale Chamber of Commerce and sue you!” “Philip Clarke, you’re too arrogant. This is Beacon, not your house! What right do you have to preside over this shareholders meeting?” Even though they were pinned to the floor, they were still very indignant and cursed at Philip. However, Philip still remained indifferent. He raised his eyebrows and looked at those people who were sitting in their seats in silence, saying, “If you want to end up like them, feel free to try.” As soon as he said that, dozens of thugs in black su
The First Heir Chapter 1595
Hiss! Everyone gasped! All gazes fell on Philip. This guy was really too high-handed! Martin turned around, his face looking unpleasant as he stared at Philip. He said sullenly, “What are you doing?” Philip chuckled, stood with his hands behind his back, and stared at Martin with scorching eyes. He said, “Like you, I'm poaching talents. No matter how much you offer and how many promises you make, I’ll triple all offers. And it’s all in cash!” With that said, Philip looked at those people behind Martin who looked skeptical yet eager. “I think everyone is here for the money and no one will refuse the money that’s right in front of them, right?” “What’s your basis for saying that? How much money can you possibly have? You’re just a kept husband who relies on his wife!” “That’s right. Your reputation in Riverdale is not that good. How can we believe your words? Don’t try to bluff us.” “Hehe, if you have the ability, why don’t you show us what you have?” Everyone started
The First Heir Chapter 1596
Martin finally came to a realization. How could Philip be a loser? He was clearly a lion, a sleeping lion! However, he could not figure out one thing. If Philip was so powerful, why did he hide his true strength until now? Was it related to Madam Wallis of Cirrus Villa? However, Martin could not be bothered to think about it now. Instead, he turned around, looked at the group of people behind him, and said, “I won’t force you. I definitely won’t treat you badly if you choose to come with me.” After saying that, Martin turned around and looked at Philip resentfully, saying, “Just you wait!” Then, he left the conference room. Among them, seven or eight people chose to follow Martin. Naturally, that included several board members from last night. They had no other choice. The others had offended Philip and knew they would have no future in Beacon. The room became quiet at this moment. Only then did the rest of the people look at Philip with flattering smiles while sayi

“I think she’s right. You have no right to despise her for being ugly! If you have the ability to cure the groom’s disease, you can marry into a wealthy family too! You’re a loser for putting her down because of her looks!” Ronan’s sudden interruption surprised the bride. She never thought that someone would speak up for her in this situation. “Enough with this fiasco. Hurry up and end it!” Lazlo frowned and glanced at the people next to him. He had replaced the useless guards earlier. These people were carefully selected experts. The experts quickly flagged Ronan as a troublemaker and wanted to throw him out. “Let’s call off the wedding for the time being. We didn’t think it through carefully. We’ll decide after careful consideration. Please excuse us,” Lazlo said calmly but he was fuming inside. He knew that this was a disgrace to the family. He had never thought a woman could play him out like that. Lazlo glared daggers at Celeste in front of him. 'I wouldn’t have be
The First Heir Chapter 6230
By right, everyone should respect Lazlo, but these people simply wanted to humiliate him instead. Lazlo always took advantage of them during their business dealings, so they wanted to teach him a lesson. For the sake of his dignity, Lazlo could not lose his temper either. “Hehe, the bride is coming!” Lazlo gritted his teeth and asked someone to bring the bride out. Everyone looked around eagerly, waiting to see what this legendary woman looked like. The bride wore a veil on her face, and no one could see her appearance clearly. “The bride is bound by the rules of her race, so she’s not allowed to show her face in public, but you can tell from her figure that she's indeed very beautiful. My daughter-in-law is not to be underestimated!” Lazlo laughed. It was the only option he could think of. Some nosy people created a gust of wind that blew the veil away. Very soon, the woman’s ugly face was revealed to the public. Everyone was dumbfounded by the scene. They gulped nervous
The First Heir Chapter 6229
“But she’d be very attractive if she covered her face.” Her figure was very good, but her face was scary. Anyone who saw that face would probably be haunted by nightmares. Philip was curious. The woman could cure the groom’s disease, which proved that she had that ability. In that case, why was she in such a hurry to marry? With an ability like that, she could easily survive on her own. “She caught me red-handed peeking at her. Although it was embarrassing, she was very gentle and didn’t say anything. It’s a pity that I can’t deal with that appearance!” Ronan said awkwardly, ashamed at the thought of being caught red-handed. Philip rolled his eyes helplessly. He was no longer in the mood to watch the fun. Staying there was just a waste of time. He would rather leave. He was not interested in the free meal. Suddenly, they smelled a strange fragrance. Ronan frowned and rubbed his nose. The smell made him feel uncomfortable. “Someone is poisoning us,” Philip said calmly.
The First Heir Chapter 6228
Lazlo knew that he would be doomed if he fell into Philip's hands. He decided to run away in a panic, but it did not mean he was going to give up. Celeste was his only hope to regain his dignity, and he would never let her off. “Keep a close eye on the situation. It’s best if you can knock Celeste out and bring her to me,” Lazlo ordered his men before he left. Since his men could not do it openly, they had to resort to some underhanded tricks. Lazlo had more than a team of guards under his command. Although the captain of the guards was no match for Philip, it did not mean that Lazlo was out of options. He had to solve this problem at all costs. Philip had no choice but to take Celeste away. Who knew they would encounter such a mess? “I never knew I was so charming that the guy wants me to marry his son,” Celeste said ironically. To think that something like this would happen to her. The people of her race were so valuable that they could not marry just anyone, let alone
The First Heir Chapter 6227
The guards laughed. “No way, does he think he can handle us?” Everyone mocked Philip and did not take him seriously. So what if Philip had powerful abilities? They could easily overwhelm him with numbers. Everyone laughed as they surrounded Philip, and Lazlo smiled smugly. He rarely took action in such things. He simply watched the fun to appease his anger. “Just accept your fate. An ordinary man like you can't possibly fight us,” Lazlo taunted Philip, confident that he had nowhere to escape. When Lazlo was about to capture Celeste, he saw someone flying out. He thought his men had taken action and was surprised by their newfound power. Before he could do anything, he heard wails of agony. “Ouch, it hurts!” “This is too much. You broke my leg!” “Why is this man so powerful? He can fight us all by himself!” When Lazlo heard the screams clearly, he scowled darkly. “What's going on? Are my guards defeated?” he said in horror. Lazlo looked over and saw his guards ly
The First Heir Chapter 6226
“It’s your honor that our family has taken a fancy to you. Stop resisting. Do you think I don’t know what you’re thinking? You must be trying to gain more benefits. As long as you agree to this marriage, I promise that you’ll lead a good life, much better than what you have now!” Lazlo looked at Celeste condescendingly, seeing her as a gold digger. “You’re sick.” Celeste was dumbfounded. Celeste pulled Philip and wanted to leave, but Lazlo had no intention of letting them go. He had finally found a beautiful woman to solve the problem for him. How could he let her go? He had looked around earlier but had not seen anyone as beautiful as Celeste. It would be a privilege to bring a beautiful woman like Celeste out. If Celeste was willing to cooperate, he could hold his head high in front of many people. Thinking of this, he summoned the family's guards. “Hurry up and capture them. Even if you refuse, you have to do it!” Lazlo laughed at this point. “Young lady, you'd better li
The First Heir Chapter 6225
Philip winked at Ronan, signaling him to wait while he went in with Celeste to see what was going on. “In that case, my brother and I will see what’s going on,” Celeste said with a sigh. She just wanted to watch the fun. Why was she involved all of a sudden? Philip and Celeste walked in, and Lazlo was surprised to see someone else. However, a look of realization crossed his face after his servant introduced Philip’s identity. “Yes, I was too hasty about this. We should discuss this matter with the family.” He quickly invited everyone inside. After taking a closer look at Celeste's appearance, he nodded with satisfaction. Sure enough, this woman was very beautiful and perfect from every angle. She was the best choice for his son. To be frank, even Lazlo was attracted to her. “My son is getting married today, but his bride is very ugly, so I want to use you in place of the bride. After this, you can become my son's concubine,” Lazlo said condescendingly as if Celeste should
The First Heir Chapter 6224
At this moment, Celeste looked no different from normal people, and her face was more stunning, capturing everyone’s attention with one glance. Lazlo was excited to see her and knew that she was the woman he had been looking for. Indeed, the bride was very ugly and had a strange appearance. He would never have agreed to the marriage if the woman had not saved his son's life. His son had been seriously ill and bedridden for a long time, almost on the verge of dying. To save his son, he promised that anyone who could save his son could make a request. This woman saved his son and requested to marry into the Cohen family. Although reluctant, big families attached great importance to promises. If they went against their conscience and broke the promise, it would greatly impact their subsequent practice. Hence, Lazlo had no choice but to agree to their marriage. However, to prevent people from talking behind their backs, he appointed some dedicated maids to take care of the ugly
The First Heir Chapter 6223
Ronan grabbed the others in fright so that they could stay together. Ronan was a strong guy, after all. With his protection, the others would not be separated by the crowd. Philip looked at this scene and asked the onlookers curiously, “What’s going on? What’s the occasion? Is it a celebration?” Philip had a smile on his face. He thought the atmosphere was quite interesting as if someone was having a celebration. “Don’t you know? It’s the wedding day of the young heir of the Cohen family. I heard that they’ll be serving free spiritual beast meat during the feast. Whether it’s true or not, we want to join the fun. It’s great if the news is true.” “Young man, you must be a visitor from out of town. You’re in luck!” Everyone smiled and walked along excitedly, hoping to spread happiness. Since it was a happy occasion, Philip took the others to join in the fun. As expected, it was very crowded, and everyone sat happily while waiting for the feast to begin. They looked at a lux
