The family stared at Philip. He knew who this young master was?Wynn’s eyes lit up as she stared at Philip while the latter spoke as if it was an act of generosity to share the knowledge he had. “The young master of the Clarke Group is actually…” “You?”Martha interrupted abruptly. She said it in a tone of ruthless taunting before Philip could finish his sentence. Snorting twice for good measure, Martha wore an expression of pure sarcasm. “Were you going to tell us you’re the young master? I’ve never realized you’re so prone to lying, Philip Clarke, but I suppose it’s better late than never. Wynnie marrying you is a tragedy!” “Mom, can you not talk to Philip like that? Why are you so opinionated about him when all he has been doing these few years is take your complaints and chides in stride?” Wynn sighed and shook her head dejectedly. It was as if her mother and Philip were mortal enemies or something. She just had to berate or hit him a few times before she would move o

“Stop! Stay away!” Martha shivered down to her bones in fear, still traumatized by the choking incident that night. She darted to hide behind Wynn as she scolded, “Look, Wynnie. This is Philip Clarke! I can’t believe he wants to hit me. Who’s the head of the family here? He’s going too far!” “Haha.” Philip scoffed, too lazy to argue with Martha. Philip had always been a sore sight to her, coupled with his attitude the past few days, Martha could not help the anger that began to boil. No, she had to throw this piece of trash out the Johnston family tree! She had to get Wynn to divorce him! Otherwise, that would be the end of Martha’s peaceful days. “Listen to your mother, okay Wynnie? I’ve already set it up for you with Joel. He’s bringing you out on vacation for a few days. Make good use of this chance, okay? Joel’s family is rich, and he’s the CEO of Hodgson Pharmaceutical too. Don’t let such a great opportunity slip by, it’ll be good for both you and your company.”

Paula’s tone was laced heavily with the intent to make fun. It was one that caused Martha to flush in anxiety as the words cut like knives. Wynn could tell as well that her Aunt Paula was making things difficult for Philip. However, she was in no position to say anything as Aunt Paula was her elder. “Oh? So this is Wynn’s husband. He looks fine to me, though. Yup, all limbs intact.” Frank had not made any motion to stand at all. Instead, he sat on the sofa and sipped peacefully on his tea as he crudely commented. “Haha. Honey, you’re so funny. Didn’t you say he’s a simplistic man?” Comprehending the implications of his words, Samantha hid a smile behind her hand. Philip was confused. ‘What the heck?’ All he did was go out for a smoke, how did he end up being the center of everyone’s jokes when he returned? ‘Frank McDonald and Samantha Benson? ‘You are nothing to me!’Philip’s expression darkened. “What are you doing just standing there? Come say hello. Meet Samanth

Philip, on the other hand, was close to bursting in laughter at Samatha’s claim. Rocker Pharmaceutical, owned by Clarke Group from Capital City. After all that fuss, it turned out that it was his family’s enterprise. What the heck was Frank so smug about?He wanted nothing more than to tell them this Rocket Pharmaceutical they built their arrogance on, was his. “Aunt Martha sure is envious of you, Sammy. Your days must be spent in comfort with such a great husband, right? Unlike my Wynnie over here, what a tragic life she’s living…” Martha made sure to send a few glares at Philip as she spoke, frustration bubbling within her chest. It was all because of that useless piece of trash!“Relax, Martha. An opportunity has arisen itself, no? I heard Clarke Group from Capital City invested in Wynnie’s company, right? That’s a billion yuan into the, what’s the name again? Ah yes, Beacon Pharmaceutical! That’s a lot of money.” Paula beamed brightly. “Wynnie, your mother told me you
The First Heir Chapter 361
Philip supposed he understood Frank’s incessant desire to act pretentious. Frank seemed to feel the most comfortable basked in the envious gazes of Wynn and Martha. Indeed, men with specific advantages were more prone to receiving better resources. With how things were going, perhaps all he needed was a little extra effort and a young woman like Wynn would easily become his. Stop, stop, stop! Taking in his expression, Philip realized that Frank was a man of high maintenance. “You have to tell Aunt Martha if you ever manage to contact this Young Master Clarke, okay Frank? Aunt Martha here wants to treat this Young Master Clarke to a meal and maybe get to know him a little bit.” Martha gazed at Frank with nothing but anticipation. “Of course, Aunt Martha. That won't be too difficult considering how Young Master Clarke and I are rather close.” Frank added shamelessly as if it was the truth. Lifting his wrist to check the time, he told Wynn, “Oh, and Wynn. There’ll be a d

Philip was lost. He did not know what Martha Yates was plotting. Paula, however, was crystal clear. Her sister simply did not want Philip to tag along on the matter of discussing a partnership. The one billion investment was as good as theirs the moment Frank initiated a partnership with Beacon Pharmaceutical. There was no need for inputs from outsiders like Philip, lest he demanded a portion of the money. As a result, Paula immediately backed her sister up, “Yeah, yeah. I don’t think you should go.” There was not much Philip could do. Seeing the Yates sisters agreeing, Philip found himself understanding the actual goal. The only reason they did not want his involvement meant that they were eying the one billion investment. ‘Oh well.’ He did not want to eat with a materialistic mother-in-law and her relatives either. “Very well, then. I won’t go.”Philip turned to speak to Wynn. “Don’t drink, it’s not good for the baby.” Both Frank and Samantha were shocked at the
The First Heir Chapter 363
To that, Philip replied with a ‘That’s all’. On the other end, George inquired, ‘Are you at Dragon King Palace, Young Master? Mr. Cash, the person in charge of Capital City’s division of Clarke Group, is here with me and is hoping to meet up with you about the matters of the Beacon investment. Should I send him over to wait for you at Dragon King Palace?’‘The person in charge of Clarke Group’s Capital City division?’ Philip wore an expression of suspicion before it morphed into a playful smile as he turned his gaze to Frank who continued to sing high praises of himself. He replied to the text, ‘Sure. Have him come over.’Having replied, Philip put his phone down again. The Clarke family had more than just one Clarke Group. The one in Capital City was merely a small group of theirs. Martha was enraged at her useless trash of a son-in-law. After grumbling about it for a while, she gave an apologetic smile. “How can I let you pay so much? How about I pay for it this time?” To

“Thanks, but no thanks, Manager Frank. I quite like the feeling of being taken care of by my wife. Plus, she likes taking care of me.” Philip said shamelessly as he smiled at Wynn. “Sure, I’ll take care of you,” Wynn replied coordinately, her eyes sparkling with stars. Anger flared in Frank at the scene before him. Scoffing, he returned to his seat for there was not much left for him to say. Samantha saw through him and kicked Frank under the table, mumbling, “What’s that all about? You can’t possibly have taken a fancy to my cousin now, have you?!” Her piercing gaze demanded answers. Frank smiled, holding Samantha’s small hand in his own. “What are you talking about? There’s only you.” The meal progressed with Paula’s family picking on Philip at any chance they got. To which he merely brushed off and paid them no heed. After all, it would not make sense to let such brainless comments dampen his mood. Wynn, though, nudged the back of his legs worriedly with her own and

Jamie was surprised by Philip’s easygoing reaction and immediately felt the gap between him and Philip. If Jamie were in Philip’s shoes, he would be worried, but Philip was confident instead. Jamie had a lot to learn from Philip. Jamie had no idea that Philip did not take Dennis seriously at all. Philip had too many capable people under his command. He was not concerned about Dennis at all. In comparison, Dennis could be considered the most useless person under him.… On the other hand, Rabbit arrived at the market. Rabbit was quite famous among the major families by now. As a non-human with a violent temper, he was in the center of attraction wherever he went. Someone tried to kidnap Rabbit once, but not only did he fail, but the person was also beaten badly. To this day, the kidnapper was still bedridden in the hospital. Rabbit’s notorious reputation had spread far and wide, and not just anyone could deal with him. At this time, many storytellers were at the tavern tal

People in seclusion would usually not receive any news from the outside world, so contacting them would be up to luck. Therefore, Lincoln's appearance was good news for the Hexa Guild. Now that the guild was under scrutiny, Lincoln's appearance would save them a lot of trouble. Lincoln stood on the spot, looking at the yard curiously. Philip had modified the yard, so it was full of energy. Any practitioner would feel the difference at once. Jamie and the others had discovered this fact but never asked out of courtesy. Everyone had their own secret. Maybe this was Philip’s secret. Lincoln closed his eyes and felt the abundant energy. He was reluctant to leave this place that contained tens of thousands of times more energy than the place he had chosen for his seclusion. Lincoln felt conflicted. He could practice much faster in this place if the energy level remained the same. Thinking of this, he could hardly contain his excitement to practice on the spot. Seeing Jamie nex

Lincoln had never met a monster beast with intelligence! After taking a closer look at Rabbit, Lincoln had other ideas. Philip was most likely a powerful person with extraordinary strength to have such a powerful monster beast as his pet. Dennis was not a fool. Philip had to be powerful and not a coward for Dennis to willingly follow him. Thinking of this, Lincoln showed Rabbit enough respect. “Mr. Rabbit, I’m looking for Dennis from the Hexa Guild.” The guild members behind him were full of disbelief at his courtesy. They had served him for a while and knew his character very well. Lincoln would never be so polite to ordinary juniors, so this rabbit had to be unusual. Thinking of this, their attitude toward Rabbit changed from disdain to admiration. Rabbit was shocked by their eccentric behavior and looked at them skeptically. Seeing their smiling faces, Rabbit decided not to make things difficult for them. Besides, they were polite. “Oh, you’re looking for Dennis. Come

This guild member could not forget how Hogster had always stolen his resources by force. Hogster’s ugly face made him sick. Although Lincoln was back, he had lost all confidence in the guild. He just wanted to return to Dennis' side as soon as possible. Although he was a member under the guild leader, Dennis was the one who had been helping him all along. In fact, if not for Dennis’ support over the years, even Alain would not have achieved what he had today. Hence, this guild member had always been grateful to Dennis. When Dennis left, he wanted to leave with him, but due to special circumstances, he stayed until now. Unexpectedly, it came in handy. Alain was excited to hear that. In Alain's opinion, such a lowly member would not dare to lie to him, so he had to be telling the truth. He knew that this was his chance to settle everything once and for all. Alain had been worried that Lincoln would blame him, but Lincoln was deceived instead, which was great. He had nothing t

Lincoln had a very good reputation, so the guild members dropped their guard and started to complain about everything. “Grandmaster, we've been having a hard time. Hogster always deducts our practice resources and gives them to the women he likes. It’s infuriating. We don’t even have that many resources to begin with,” a member said miserably. He had good talent, but Hogster did not give him any good resources, so his level remained stagnant. All his resources had been given to the women who had caught Hogster’s fancy. Lincoln scowled upon hearing this. How could Hogster take other people’s resources? He would not allow this to happen. “They also tried every means to arrange a political marriage with the Celestial Palace, but the agreement fell through, and they badmouthed the other party for it!” “They defamed the young lady of the guild, and now, they're furious at us. Their wrath is not a joke. Moreover, someone solved the side effects of their practice technique, but we'v

If Philip was at fault, Lincoln had nothing to say. However, if Hogster was the one who had caused all the trouble, he would not spare them. “I’ll get to the bottom of this. Now, tell me what’s going on with Dennis. Based on my understanding of him, he wouldn't betray the guild for no reason. He must have a reason for doing this!” Neither of them could explain what happened to Dennis. They could only say that humans were fickle. After all, they could not figure it out either. The person at fault would never admit their fault. Alain did not think that he was biased or thought that what he had done was excessive. He simply thought that Dennis looked down on him, which was why he decided to leave. Now that he was gone, Alain could say whatever he wanted, and Dennis could not defend himself. Thinking of this, Alain was very excited. He began to defame Dennis and shifted the attention away from him and his son. Lincoln scowled as he listened. Then, he returned to his room and summ

Alain was helpless. Although he had a lot to say, he could not do anything in front of Lincoln. Lincoln was stronger than him in every aspect, a force to be reckoned with. He was not someone Alain could deal with. Alain looked at Lincoln awkwardly. He wanted to appease his anger but did not know what to say. “You need to explain this to me. Why did Dennis leave? And I want to know why the guild’s reputation has become so bad. Did you do something wrong?”Lincoln heard that Dennis had been expelled and could no longer stay in the guild. Many people supported Dennis, so they were upset with Alain and tried to defame him. Hearing that, Alain knew that someone must have been talking behind his back, but he did not dare to lose his temper. He forced a smile and looked at Lincoln in a flattering manner. Before he could find an excuse, Hogster rushed over excitedly and said to his father, “Father, guess what I did to Philip? Hehe!” Hogster recounted his handiwork smugly without p

It had been years since the grandmaster went into seclusion for practice. He was not concerned about power. He once mentioned that he would not leave his seclusion unless he reached the top. Hence, no one expected to see him. “Grandmaster, you appeared at the right time. We would've been in trouble if you didn't come out!” “That’s right. Everyone is bullying us. Now that you’re out, you can help us.” Everyone complained about their grievances, feeling sorry for themselves. The Hexa Guild was in trouble, and they faced various problems too. All the major guilds were keeping a close eye on the Hexa Guild, waiting to see them make a fool of themselves. The Celestial Palace planned to destroy the Hexa Guild instead of letting them off. They could not accept the initial setup, so they decided to erase the Hexa Guild from existence. Hence, the Hexa Guild had been under great pressure, with the members wishing that someone could help them. Unexpectedly, a strong expert appeared.

Ronan was his buddy, and his wife's reputation was at stake. Philip could not stand idly by. He had to help. Jamie was very fast at ordering his people to make the matter public. No one expected another dramatic turn of events. Everyone thought that the young lady of the Celestial Palace was an unchaste woman for making that decision. Unexpectedly, the Celestial Palace found a way to solve the side effects of their technique. All the major guilds were in trepidation. Although the Celestial Palace’s technique was very powerful, the side effects reduced its allure. Now that that problem was solved, everything was different. On top of that, the holy maiden and other members of the guild showed their appearance in public. Regardless of gender, everyone was beautiful without any markings on their faces. After seeing this scene, everyone knew that the Celestial Palace was about to make a comeback. Carlos was very excited and thought that Vanna was a lucky star to bring so many
