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

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. Philip did not say anything because he did not know how to explain this situation to her.He was not ready to explain this to Wynn.Wynn cried for a while in the toilet. She was sure that Philip was having an affair as he did not explain the matter to her. Wynn’s heart was hurting. She did not know how to face Philip.More than ten minutes had passed before Wynn finally calmed down. She went back to the room and did not see Philip. She then continued to accompany Mila with a glum face.Philip had tried to explain himself a few times but it was as if the words

Philip looked at the woman in front of him coldly. This was the woman he had wronged seven years ago. He said, “Chloe, don’t involve other people in our business. Don’t cause any trouble for my family.”Slap!Chloe got up and slapped Philip across the face. Then, she glared at him and said, “What happened between you and me will not end so easily. Don’t forget how you left me without a word and how much you’ve hurt me!”Chloe’s heart pounded when she saw Philip. After all, they had not seen each other for seven years.She had even looked forward to this.However, Philip’s eyes and expression just now betrayed how he truly felt.Chloe was a woman, so she knew how Philip was feeling. He only cared about that woman named Wynn.“Chloe, what happened seven years ago was my fault. It’s fine if you want to punish me. However, you can’t do anything to Wynn. This is my warning for you,” Philip said. If Chloe really touched Wynn, Philip would fight back without a second thought.“Warni

When he heard Wynn’s voice, Philip’s face fell. He stared at Chloe intensely.Chloe looked at Philip with a fake smile and said, “Hello, Wynn. I’m Chloe.”There was silence on the other end of the phone.“How can I help you?” Wynn was a woman with a temper. It was obvious that she was mad from her cold tone.Chloe did not answer immediately. She looked at Philip and said softly, “If Wynn knows who you are, how will she react? Have you ever thought about it?”Philip clenched his fists, his eyes heated. His low voice sounded like the growl of a beast. He said, “Chloe Sommerset, you’re playing with fire.”Philip was nervous, but at the same time, he was furious.He did not like to be threatened!“Philip, do you not understand me? The more exciting a game is, the more I’ll like it.” Chloe placed her hand under her chin and looked at him provocatively.Then, she said into the phone, “Wynn, what kind of man do you think Philip is?”What kind of man Philip was?Wynn was taken aback

“Mom, I didn’t. Maybe Wynn’s just exhausted.” Philip explained.However, Martha did not believe him. She looked at him with the corner of her eyes and her face was as cold as stagnant water. She pointed at Philip’s nose and started shouting, “Do you think I won’t understand the daughter I gave birth to? Philip, don’t say that I never warned you. A man like you is not a match for my daughter at all! If you’re smart, you should divorce Wynn as soon as possible. Stop hindering Wynn from marrying into a rich family!”Philip was helpless when he was faced with Martha’s arrogance and bossiness.Martha was not the only one who was annoyed. Philip was feeling frustrated as well. After being accused by Martha, Philip’s tone became slightly awful.“Alright, I got it. Can you stop nagging? This is between me and Wynn. We will take care of this,” Philip replied coldly. There was no warmth in his eyes. Martha was shocked by that ominous glint in his eyes.Martha was enraged. How dare he talk t

“This boot records various information about the lark people that may be very important to you. I believe you’ll understand after reading it.” After saying this, Renee handed the boot to Adam. She was not a fool. She knew that Philip was not the person initiating the search. Although Adam always remained calm, he could not hide his eagerness at all. Adam looked at Renee gratefully and took the book and started reading it without further ado. The more he read, the more shocked he felt. In the end, he was full of disbelief as if he could not believe what he saw. “Is this for real?” Adam finished reading the boot quickly and handed it to Philip and Carlos. The other two flipped through the book curiously. Philip scowled. He could not tell whether the information was true or false. “Is it true that the lark people have such an ability? It's recorded in the book that they can create a world. That’s simply…” Carlos was puzzled. Only a very powerful being could create a world. Was

“Please tell me how to find them. I want to find out what’s going on, even if it's just to convince myself to give up.” Adam decided that he still wanted to find the other party. No matter what, he had to get to the bottom of it. If everything was a lost cause, he would give up. Hearing that, Renee seemed conflicted as if deciding whether to tell them everything. “It doesn’t do me any good to tell you this. Why should I take the risk for no reason? I do business. You need to pay a price for it,” Renee said with a smile. Philip laughed. The words sounded very familiar to him as if he said them before. He used to say such things when he was doing business just to bluff some dumb customers. “Of course, I know you do business. If you’re willing to tell us something, we can offer you something in return, whether money or other resources,” Philip said with calm confidence. No matter what the other party wanted, he could easily provide it. Renee smiled at Philip’s words. “It's

The woman seemed amused by Philip’s request. “I know what you’re worried about. Don’t worry, I’m not a liar. Although my actions don’t seem aboveboard to you, I’m not a bad person.” The woman did not hide anything. She knew that Philip had seen through the secret of her singing. As the only man who discovered her secret, she admired Philip very much. She once vowed that she would marry the man who could resist the temptation of her singing. “By the way, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Renee, and I'm an employee of Moon Tavern. My job is very simple, that is to bring in more profits to the tavern.” Renee seemed very sincere and told them everything about herself. “However, my method isn’t very aboveboard. You already know that I make profits by using my singing to attract customers.” Renee mentioned her secret frankly, and Philip was surprised by her honesty. “As for the secret between me and the lark people, I can tell you that they hate me so much because some

Seeing everyone’s reaction, Philip was all the more interested in this mysterious existence. He wanted to find out who they were to act so arrogantly. Obviously, the lark people were stronger than anyone could imagine. Ordinary people were afraid of this family no matter how powerful they were. Maybe the storyteller felt uncomfortable at the mention of this family, but he quickly left after a while. Philip and the others were disappointed that they could not find out the news they wanted. When they thought that they had to return in defeat, a woman appeared and looked at them calmly. The woman was wearing a veil on her face, making it impossible to see her appearance. The veil was quite an extraordinary item that could block various detections. However, Philip recognized her at a glance. She was the woman singing on the stage just now. She actually approached them. Things were getting more and more interesting. “What you want to know is taboo. Come with me if you want to fi

Meanwhile, backstage at Moon Tavern, the waiter was telling the woman singing on stage earlier about what had happened in the private room. The woman was full of disbelief, thinking the waiter was lying. “Don’t try to bluff me. How could anyone resist my attack?” The woman wore a veil on her face and looked very mysterious. Only the woman knew how disgusting she looked when she was not performing or casting spells. Covering her face was the best choice. The waiter told her what happened and described the state Philip and the others were in earlier. Although two people were affected, it was a problem because one person had remained conscious.They would face a lot of problems if other people discovered their tricks. The woman's tricks were extraordinary. Even a powerful person with superb strength would find it difficult to get rid of her attack. These so-called strong experts would only end up falling for her trick. At this time, the storyteller went on stage, and he was t

Philip nodded. “Do I have to order something else?” A hint of realization flashed in Philip’s eyes. He realized what was going on. The woman had the ability to bewitch the customers by affecting their thinking and emotions through singing and inducing them into spending money. She exuded a special charm to attract the customers even though she looked ordinary. In their minds, she was an unattainable goddess. Everyone saw a different woman in their minds but charming nonetheless, tempting them to spend money on her even though it would cost them all their fortune. However, Philip was different. He could control his emotions very well, so this woman had almost no influence on him. He realized this problem when he first heard that mysterious song. The waiter scowled and finally left the private room in horror after much deliberation. Philip did not say anything at his hasty departure. The woman quickly left the stage after playing her zither, and the bewitched customers

“Something is wrong. I find that woman a little weird.” Hearing that, they were curious to find out how Philip concluded that. “Although she’s not that good-looking, I don’t think she’s weird. What do you think is wrong with her?” Carlos said in puzzlement, wondering why Philip felt that this woman was weird. “The woman seems to have a fatal attraction to the male customers. It’s a scary ability to make these men flock to her.” It was weird that a woman with average looks could attract so many men. No one would believe that she had a strong appeal. “Welcome to Moon Tavern. I’ll be singing a song for you today. I hope you like it.” The woman's delicate voice rang, and everyone felt relaxed and happy. Even Philip felt that this voice was very charming, like the sound of nature ringing in his ears. However, Philip was not a fool. He keenly sensed something wrong with the situation. Nothing would be charming enough to attract him. For it to happen meant that something was wro

“Give us three pots of tea. We don’t need anything else. Thank you.” Philip did not order anything else. In his opinion, he was just here to find information, so his money should be spent on things that mattered the most. The waiter rolled his eyes at the order and seemed to look down on Philip. “Customers, are you sure you only want a few pots of tea? We have many snacks too,” the waiter said in disdain. Carlos was more concerned about his image, so he was shocked by the waiter’s obvious disdain. “Yes, we only need a pot of tea each. We want to have a taste first.” Adam's attitude was much better, speaking with a friendly smile on his face. Even if the waiter was angry, he could do nothing about it. The waiter left cursing under his breath. He thought that they were big customers, but they did not even give him a tip. Philip glanced at the waiter helplessly. Even waiters were so arrogant nowadays. Philip and the others were quickly served three pots of tea. The pots
