The First Heir Chapter 419
Wynn was on her way back to the hospital after work when she received her cousin’s call.“What’s wrong with Philip?”Wynn chuckled, hailing down a cab by the curb.“Do you think I’m lying, Wynn? Why would I? You just have to come to Sunset Villa and you’ll know!”Lynn was anxious beyond belief. She stared intently at Philip, who was walking with Chloe. The two of them had actually gone into the inner hall.Seriously, what was up with that good-for-nothing?How did he know Miss Chloe Sommerset?!That was simply terrifying.Was he still the same useless cousin-in-law she had always known?“Sunset Villa? Why is Philip there?”Wynn glanced at the time. Why was Philip there at this time of the night?“Hold on a sec.”Lynn took a video of Philip and Chloe with her phone. It just so happened that Chloe was hugging Philip’s arm like a girl in love, her head on his shoulder and a look of happiness on her face.Of course, Lynn did not record the moment Philip shoved Chloe away. She

Smack!Philip slapped Chloe’s hand aside and said icily, “Don’t try my patience!”With that, Philip turned to leave.However, Chloe scoffed at his back, saying, “Do you know why I invited you here tonight?”“What do you mean?”Philip’s gaze turned cold. He spun around and glared at Chloe.Just then, Philip’s phone rang. It was a call from that man.“Spill it!”Philip barked harshly, his body tense and his heart pounding.That call could only mean one thing. Something must have happened to Wynn and Mila.“Young Master, the Young Madam and Miss Mila are safe. We just handled one wave of attackers.”The voice on the other end was that of a cold-blooded man. “They seem to be some local hooligans. They were at the hospital entrance, trying to kidnap the Young Madam.”“Understood.”Philip hung up and stared at Chloe, asking in a low and heavy voice, “Did you send them?”Chloe knew that her plan had failed. Well, she had only wanted to teach Wynn a lesson.She raised her chin a

Philip sighed and said, “Soon. I don’t want to make a move before going back home.”The man in the shadows said no more before leaving.The next day, Philip returned to the villa and saw that Martha had already taken over more than half of it.She had moved all the things from their old residence over, and she even told Philip with considerable pride, “What do you think? I did a good job decorating the place, didn’t I?”Philip glanced around for a while and then went upstairs for a look too. He soon realized that she had somehow turned the villa into what looked like a residential shack.She had even taken over the master bedroom he shared with Wynn.In fact, she even moved their wedding photo to the smaller bedroom downstairs.Martha saw how stormy his expression was when he came downstairs from the master bedroom. She immediately knew what she had done wrong, so she snuck a glance at Charles next to her.Charles ignored her and earned a glare from her.“Move all your things

Martha took a moment to process that and then instantly blew up. “What do you mean by that, Philip? Your uncle is inviting you to dinner, but you can’t be bothered? Do you think I want to invite you? If you want to say hi, come over yourself!”Martha then hung up in a huff.That Philip was getting more unreasonable by the day.Philip was a little taken aback too, but it seemed like he had no choice. He had to attend that night, after all.He gave Wynn a call, telling her he was going to pick her up from work that night.It just so happened that George had just bought him a car recently. It was nothing too fancy, just a BMW 5 Series. That would do for his purposes.That night, Philip drove his brand-new BMW and waited for Wynn outside her office building.When she saw the new car, Wynn froze for a long while too. She was both pleasantly surprised and confused. “Where did you get the money to buy this car?”Philip leaned on the car door, wearing shades. He looked quite dashing li

Wynn paused and looked at Philip suspiciously. She was very confused.Uncle Mont and his family had already insured them to such an extent, so why was Philip saying they would stay?Martha was enraged too. She had already stood up and prepared to leave, but she froze when Philip said that.Now she could not go or stay.Well, that was awkward.“What are you doing, Philip? Who told you to babble? Hurry up and apologize to your aunt and uncle?”Martha was left with nothing better to do, so she took her temper out on Philip as usual.The Renners were doing very well for themselves in Golden City. They were the richest and most powerful out of all their distant relatives.As a result, they took every chance they could get to insult the Johnstons.As the years passed, Martha grew gradually more intimidated by the Renners. These days, she was relatively tamer the moment she saw them. Although Charles used to be a section head, that was still nothing compared to what Mont Renner had

"Oh, a delivery boy? But that makes no sense, didn't he say his wife is a chairwoman or something?" said someone in surprise."A chairwoman? What does it matter if she's the chairwoman of some two-bit company?"Fern rudely called Philip out. "Stop stuffing your face like that, Philip. Can't you hear that your elders are talking to you?"She was proud and arrogant!Mont saw what she was doing and wanted to stop her, but eventually he just shook his head helplessly.He had already done enough to protect these poor relatives of his.To be honest, he also wanted to use this chance to wake Philip up. He wanted to show Philip just how far behind he had fallen so far the latter might buck up and go to work like a proper adult.It was so embarrassing for a man to live off his wife like that.Martha also glared at Philip, who was still preoccupied with his food. She yelled, "Philip, your aunt is talking to you! Say something!"Philip was embarrassing enough at home, but why did he have

Nick rapidly approached Philip, visibly delighted as he said, “You’re here too, Mr. Clarke! What a pleasure it is to see you here.”Philip was talking to Wynn. When he heard Nick’s voice, he raised his head and found that he did not know the man in front of him. “And you are?”“Oh, you wouldn’t remember little old me. I’m in charge of property matters in these parts, my name is Nick Cage. The ruckus my son Mickey caused at Longford today was my fault, I didn’t raise him well enough. I hope you don’t mind, Mr. Clarke.”Nick heaped on the flattery, his words filled with adulation.Philip finally remembered who he was. He said with a smile, “Good to see you too, Director Cage.”Nick wanted to talk to Philip more and get closer to him, but Mont and the others were also approaching them now, looking far from pleased.Next to Philip, Wynn was looking at him suspiciously.So Philip even knew the higher-ups in the property circle?“Hey, do you know Nick Cage?”Wynn tugged at Philip’s

“Renner, why aren’t you apologizing to Mr. Clarke? Don’t you want your project to be approved?”Nick stopped smiling and began to weaponize his authority instead.Mont immediately panicked. Very reluctantly, he told Philip, “Sorry, I was rude to you just now. I hope you won’t hold it against your uncle.”Philip smiled. “No worries, Uncle Mont. We are family, after all.”Everyone burst out laughing at that, all to try and ease the tension in the air.Only Cindi and her mother continued to look constipated. They wanted to criticize Philip some more, but they never expected that good-for-nothing to know someone as impressive as Nick Cage.The others were shocked as well, but they hid their reaction behind awkward smiles.Just a second ago, that man was a worthless wretch just about anyone could criticize, but now they were saying that he was friends with Nick Cage, a director at the Land Registry. What a miraculous turn of events!Everyone returned to the room, but over the meal,
