The First Heir Chapter 1697
Sheryl put the coffee down in a dignified manner, raised her eyebrows, glanced at Philip, and asked with a gentle smile at the corner of her mouth, “Am I not welcome?” Philip shrugged and said, “You’re not unwelcome, but I can’t help feeling that you’re not a simple woman. Although I have some relations with you, I still think we should meet less.” Sheryl did not deny it and said frankly, “Your feeling is right. I’m not a woman who makes people feel secure. Born in such a family, I learned to be selfish since I was a child and became scheming. Many people who’ve met me say that I’m a femme fatale, but I don’t think so. I’m just a little lamb waiting to be slaughtered.” Hehe. Philip chuckled and said, “Comparing yourself to a poor little lamb, only you can say such things. I already knew what kind of person you are since I was a child. There’s no need to beat around the bush between us. Just tell me straight. I’ll decide depending on my mood.” According to the intelligence Phi

Philip frowned and replied, “No, I’m not going.” “Oh, don't you want to meet people from the Nonagon? Don't you want to find out if your mother's death is related to the Nonagon?” Sheryl smiled sweetly. Hearing this, Philip stood up abruptly. With eyes like a jackal, he stared at Sheryl fixedly and said, “What did you say? People from the Nonagon?” Sheryl nodded and said, “Nonagon is looking for people who can enter the door. Do you think those people from large families will miss this opportunity?” “Philip, many things can’t be solved just because you have the ability. You have to rely on connections and resources. This world is unfair. For example, the qualification selection for entering the door can be debated. The several enforcers of the Nonagon Uppercreek division happen to be a group of insatiable people. During tonight’s private gathering, the big families will be vying for the qualification to enter the door. If we measure it in terms of money, what do you think the s
The First Heir Chapter 1699
Martha was asking anxiously, “Wynnie, what happened in Riverdale? Can you tell me about it?” Martha had not been eating or sleeping well in the past two days as she was thinking about the villa in Riverdale and Beacon Group. She did not know what exactly Martin and Bernard Johnston had done. Would Martha end up a pauper from now on? No way! Martha was extremely worried. She had long noticed that Martin and Bernard were up to no good, but she did not expect that they would do such a treacherous thing at this time. Charles also stood by the window. Someone like him who never smoked had started smoking, but his actions were a little awkward. Martha glanced at him and scolded, “Go outside if you want to smoke! Can’t you see that Wynnie is pregnant?” Charles just realized his mistake and quickly put the cigarette out. He stood at the side, staring blankly into space. After hesitating for a long time, he asked, “Wynnie, just tell us. I can bear it.” Wynn looked at her parents
The First Heir Chapter 1700
Very soon, Philip came up from downstairs. Seeing a roomful of people, he smiled and asked, “What are you talking about?” Wynn glanced at Martha and found her winking at her repeatedly. Wynn said, “Philip, my parents want to go back. Why don't you arrange for someone to send them back? Didn’t you say that things in Riverdale are almost settled?” Hearing this, Philip looked at Martha, who was smiling at him while sitting in her wheelchair. She said, “Yes, Philip. Your father and I have nothing to do here. You might as well send us back. If you’re worried, just get some people to protect us.” Philip frowned, thought about it, and said, “Not yet. Martin and Bernard are like trapped beasts now. They’ll do anything. Moreover, Bernard and Liam are in Uppercreek now. I’m not sure what they’re up to yet. Staying in the hotel is the safest for all of you.” Hearing this, Martha was obviously unhappy and yelled, “Philip, what do you mean by that? You don't want us to go back, do you? Are
The First Heir Chapter 1701
Martha was shocked by Philip's words and the look in his eyes. She was stunned for a long while and could not react. She stammered, “I… I'm not going back. I’m not going back…” After saying that, she lowered her head, not daring to look Philip directly in the eye. What a terrible feeling! At that moment, Martha felt like she was being targeted by a fierce beast. She thought she was going to piss her pants from fear. Horrible! Simply terrifying! Was he still the same Philip Clarke? How could he have such a frightening look in his eyes? Charles also saw that something was wrong and quickly laughed, saying, “Hehe, Philip, don't blame your mother. She just has a bad temper, but in fact, she’s kind-hearted.” Philip swept a cold glance over them. Then, he turned his head. With a gentle smile at the corners of his mouth, he said to Wynn, “Wynnie, I'm going out for a while and might be back late tonight.” Wynn nodded and watched as Philip left. After Philip left, Martha b

Connor nodded and said, “Hehe, Roger Clarke… Good for him. Back then when he joined forces with the Nonagon to suppress the branch family and successfully seized power, allowing him to sit in the position as head of the Clarke family, I already knew that this guy was different from ordinary people. The way he thinks is different from how we think. I’ve never been able to see through him.” Hearing this, Levi asked, “Grandpa, is there a connection between the Nonagon and Roger?” Connor raised his eyebrows, seeming to recall a lot of past events at once. He said, “Roger Clarke was a prodigy and core personnel of the Nonagon at that time. He kept many secrets that we didn't know about. You must remember that he’s the only person in this world who successfully entered four doors.” “What?” Allen was shocked, his face full of astonishment! Entering one door already required tremendous luck and talent that surpassed normal people’s. To be able to enter all four doors, what kind of
The First Heir Chapter 1703
Hearing this, Levi shuddered and felt utterly creeped out. Was that not the same as using the life of the next of kin to open this door? Connor looked at Levi who was trembling slightly and asked, “Are you afraid?” “N-No, I just think that this door sounds a little evil,” Levi said. Connor laughed. “You can understand it that way, but it's not what you think.” “Grandpa, the world behind this door, what exactly is it like? Is it the same as those weird and mysterious places in TV shows?” Levi could not help his curiosity and asked. Connor shook his head and said, “No. If you really want me to describe it, you can understand it as a secret realm, a treasure trove left to us by ancient beings. This treasure trove requires the corresponding key to open it. For example, those lost civilizations that disappeared in ancient times were excavated and researched. Then, the corresponding documents were generated and constituted the development of organizations, departments, and a gro

Thump! Connor’s heart jolted. This damned Philip! Did he hear everything? “Philip, why are you here so suddenly? Aren’t you supposed to be in Riverdale?” Connor asked. His face was calm but he was a little flustered. If he had really heard everything, their plan would be ruined. Hehe. Philip went over and kicked Levi violently in his stomach while snatching the report from his hands. Levi fell to the floor instantly, clutching his stomach and rolling all over the floor in pain! F*ck! What the hell? Why did he kick him? “Damn it! Philip, who are you to kick me?!” Levi roared. However, Philip ignored him and looked at the report. Connor was furious and tried to snatch it from him as he shouted, “Bring it here! Who are you to look at it?” However, before he could reach out his hand, Philip had already grabbed Connor’s neck and lifted him up! “I already told you not to harbor any thoughts about Wynn. Otherwise, I won’t let you off!” Philip’s eyes were cold, hi
