The First Heir Chapter 2217
The solemn bell rang throughout Clarke Manor. All members of the Clarke family, who were either dressed in black suits or long black dresses, knelt on the ground and bowed in respect as they made their way to the memorial hall. At this moment, time slowed down infinitely. Looking down from a high altitude, rows of people could be seen standing up and kneeling down. This scene lasted for more than ten minutes before everyone arrived at the main entrance of the memorial hall. This place was full of gilt black tiles and yellow walls. It was very majestic. From a distance, it looked like a palace—very profound and solemn. Three rows of people stood at the entrance of the memorial hall at this moment. They were all the elders of the law enforcement hall. At the forefront, an old figure stood with his hands behind his back. It was the oldest living person of the Clarke family, the grand elder of the law enforcement hall! He stood there dressed in plain clothes, while th

The grand elder held a black cane, looked at Philip coldly, and said, “On your knees!” Philip knelt without any struggle or resistance. Smack! The grand elder raised the cane in his hand high in the air and slapped it across Philip’s shoulder with a black stream of light! Instantly, the clothes on Philip’s shoulder ripped apart from the impact! Philip also muffled a grunt. The ripped jacket on his shoulders revealed a white shirt but it was quickly dyed red with blood. Seeing this scene, Wynn was very distressed and anxious. She knelt in front of Philip with Mila in her arms and blocked the next strike from the grand elder. She exclaimed, “Grand Elder, it’s all my fault. It's all because of me that Philip did that. If you want to punish someone, hit me.” The grand elder’s eyes went cold at this scene as he shouted, “Do you think I don’t dare to hit you?” With that said, the grand elder raised the cane in his hand and was about to strike. At this moment, Mila burst int

Seeing Wynn’s bewildered expression, Philip walked over and asked softly, “What’s wrong?” Wynn’s jaw dropped open as she stared at Philip’s shoulder, which was fine. She asked, “What are you playing at?” Philip smiled and said, “Don’t worry, this is just an act by the grand elder and me to give an explanation to the branch family.” “The grand elder actually agreed to put on this act with you?” Wynn found it difficult to understand. How much did the grand elder dote on Philip to agree to put on a show with him? Was this not the same as deceiving the entire branch family? Philip smiled and looked at Mila, who was blinking her big puzzled eyes and had a face full of question marks. He reached out to hug her and said, “Mila, don’t cry. I’m fine. I was just acting with the grand elder.” Mila nodded and rubbed her red eyes. Philip looked at Wynn and saw that she still could not figure it out, so he said, “Wynnie, don't worry too much. I have everything under control. I can’t te
The First Heir Chapter 2220
There was an old man with a walking cane whose face was cold and weather-beaten. An imposing man stood next to him like a battle god who supported the sky. The two stood there like relics. They were none other than the patriarch of the Clarke family, Roger Clarke, and the first battle god, Fulton Hash! The moment they saw Roger standing in the memorial hall, all Clarke family members climbed up the steps and knelt on the small square that was about 1,000 square feet in front of the memorial hall. “Greetings to the patriarch.” At this moment, no one dared to act recklessly and everyone knelt on the ground respectfully. They bowed their heads in submission. He was the Clarke family’s patriarch, after all. In a place like the ancestral memorial hall, if anyone dared to act rashly, not to mention Roger but even the grand elder would tear them apart. Roger stood in place and looked at the people kneeling. He said softly, “All rise.” Then, he looked at Philip and beckoned,

Allen Clarke? The branch family was startled and could not figure out why Philip wanted to bring Allen out all of a sudden. However, since he returned, Allen had not even stepped out of the house and declined many meetings related to the branch family. For Philip to say this suddenly, it made it difficult for the branch family to figure out his intention. Wade’s complexion looked quite bad because he knew what Philip was up to. Connor had been recuperating since he returned. During this time, he told Wade what had happened to them in Uppercreek and at sea. Allen had betrayed the branch family. For Philip to bring Allen up at this time was no doubt related to that matter. Sure enough, the main family's guards soon brought Allen, who was dressed in plain clothes, to the small square outside the memorial hall. Allen now looked thin and out of shape. He was withered and had a dull complexion as if he had lost his soul. Following his appearance, everyone started talking

Wade got anxious and roared. “Philip, don’t you dare accuse the branch family of such heinous crimes! We have never done such a thing! You're making this up!” How could the branch family admit to this kind of thing?! This was the ancestor commemoration ceremony! Roger Clarke was standing there. The grand elder was also present. If they admitted it, it would be the end of the branch family! However, Philip just glanced at Wade coldly before his gaze returned to Allen. He said solemnly, “Allen, don't forget what you promised me.” At this moment, Allen was kneeling on the ground, and his forehead was covered in a cold sweat. His whole body was shaking. He dared not betray the branch family but he was worried that Philip would kill him, his wife, his children, and his grandchildren. In the past few days, he had been kept under close watch by the guards. He could not even move an inch. He simply dared not walk around freely, let alone do anything even within the boundari

At the scene, all members of the Clarke family looked at Wade with puzzled faces before their gazes turned to Wynn. Who was she? Was she not the young madam of the main family, a cheap woman from the outside world? Who else could she be? As for Wynn, she was a little flustered being stared at by everyone at this moment. She quietly moved to stand behind Philip and muttered, “Phil, why are they looking at me like this?” Philip glanced sideways at her, his eyes a little rueful. He said with a gentle smile, “It’s nothing. I’ll handle everything.” On this side, Wade was full of sneers. He glanced over, pointed at Wynn, and shouted angrily, “She, Wynn Johnston, is not a member of the Johnston family from Riverdale at all! Her background is something else!” Hiss! The scene fell silent. Everyone gasped. They had heard some things about Wynn before. She was from an ordinary family in Riverdale and was the daughter of the Johnston family. Her identity and status were of low

However, Charles stood with his hands behind his back with a proud look on his face. He said coldly, “I’ll never kneel!” After saying that, he turned to Martha and shouted in a manly manner for the first time, “Martha, get up!” Martha’s legs were weak and she did not want to get up at all. She had been tortured enough. Seeing her parents like this, Wynn felt her heart aching and she could not bear it. She put Mila down, rushed over, and pulled Martha up while exclaiming, “Mom, how did you end up like this? Quick, get up.” Martha looked up at Wynn miserably and wailed. “Wynnie, I don’t want to stay here anymore. I want to go home.” Charles stood aside, glanced at Martha, and scolded, “Weakling!” After that, he looked at Wynn with love and affection. He said earnestly, “Wynnie, we have let you down. You should stay here and be the young madam. Even if they beat me to death today, I won't say anything!” Hearing this, Wade shouted coldly, “Charles Johnston, are you senile? Ar
