The First Heir Chapter 46
A father should be willing to risk it all for his child. In their words, if they had three hundred million, they would definitely smash the money, stack by stack at Leon until he apologized. Leon was utterly flustered as he struggled to get up. Philip had already ended the live stream. Theo clenched his fists tight and closed in, step by step. With a swift movement, he pushed Leon against the wall and growled, “Brat, I’d advise you to hurry outside and apologize to Mr. Clarke’s daughter, or else you won’t be able to see tomorrow’s sunlight.” Being disrespectful to Mr. Clarke’s daughter meant being disrespectful to his princess! That was right! In Theo’s eyes, Philip’s daughter was a little princess! Leon struggled as he started yelling, “How dare you! My father is Lewis Larson! So what if you have money? Can you just buy my company as you please? Dream on! If I say ‘no’, who would dare to sell it?!” Leon had thought it through. The man was only rich, but his father was an influ
The First Heir Chapter 47
Leon lifted his head to look at Philip with a bit of anger and apprehension. “Why wouldn’t we dare to? Since you’ve bought our company, this money belongs to us!” The boy was reluctant to give in after all. Philip smirked. Lewis turned around and gave his son another slap. “Shut up!” Leon was stunned. In all of his life, today was the first time his father had slapped him so many times. He was just about to retort, but Lewis bowed and said humbly, “If Young Master Clarke wants my company, then it will be a gift to Young Master Clarke. Of course, I won’t take the money.” Lewis was not an idiot. He knew that only this way, he and his son would be able to survive. Philip nodded and glanced at George. The latter had the armored cars driven majestically away from the door. Yes, just like that, in front of Leon’s eyes, the cars drove away, one by one. That was three hundred million, all of Larson’s family’s assets! “Dad, what are you doing? That’s the Larson family’s money!” Leon
The First Heir Chapter 48
After Martha left, she went to the park to meet up with her friends. Upon meeting her friends, they started asking about each other. When they came to the topic about their sons-in-law or daughters-in-law, everyone became enthusiastic because their sons-in-law were doing well, and their daughters-in-law were filial. Only Martha kept quiet while she smiled dryly. “Hey, Martha, how is your son-in-law, Philip, lately? I heard he’s making deliveries.” A flamboyantly dressed middle-aged woman suddenly ruthlessly exposed Martha. Because every time they met, they were sure to talk about Martha’s son-in-law. It had already become the norm. “Oh, Martha, why is your son-in-law so terrible? Why don’t you get your daughter to divorce him as soon as possible?” “That won’t do. If they divorced, it would be a second marriage if she remarries. No one would want her. She even has extra baggage, men nowadays don’t like single mothers.” “That’s true. Who would want to raise other people’s childre
The First Heir Chapter 49
Philip smiled sheepishly and asked, “Mom, what’s the urgency?” Martha glared at him. “Stay here to add to our numbers, pretend to protest. You don’t have to care about anything else.” Then, Martha and a few other middle-aged men and women went to join the protest, screaming their lungs out. It was a shocking sight. Philip got some info from the bystanders and understood a bit of the situation. This was a financial investment company, and this group of older people had purchased some investment plans here. They were supposed to get their returns today. However, the building was now empty, with only a few lower-level staff left and one manager. By the look of things, that was probably an illegal fund-raising scheme! Here was where the problem got serious. Companies like this usually targeted well-off middle-aged people, and once something took a downturn, they would run away, and the money would be gone. It was no wonder Martha was so anxious. Philip felt a headache coming. He we

By then, Martha’s friends had noticed Philip. They snorted out and mocked, “Martha, is that your son-in-law? He looks really plain and so absentminded, like a blockhead. Your daughter is so pretty, she must have been blind to marry him!” “Yeah, such a useless man is a disgrace to us elders. Thankfully my son-in-law is not like him.” The group of elders started laughing in mockery. Martha’s cheeky smile earlier was now completely gone. She snorted. “That wretched piece of trash is not my son-in-law. In a few days, I’ll have my daughter divorce him!” Philip had heard the insults directed to him by the group. He could only shake his head and smiled coldly. He was already used to insults like this. They called him a wretched piece of trash, but what were they doing here? They had even called Aiden to come over and help. Now Philip really wanted to see just how Aiden can help with this situation. Just then, a white Maserati drove over on the street, looking very flashy. Martha s
The First Heir Chapter 51
Philip felt the hair on his skin stand under the scrutiny of the crowd. He then saw Aiden walking over to him with a smirk. “Philip, try repeating what you’ve said just now. I didn’t hear it clearly.” Aiden looked patronizing. This Philip really likes to speak up wherever he’s not needed. Doesn’t he know his place? To even dare to spout such nonsense. If I, Aiden Grant, can’t settle this, would a piece of trash like him be able to? Philip pouted. After some thought, he answered honestly, “I said that the matter today would not be as easy as it seems. There might be illegal fund-raising involved in this, so I don’t think a favor from someone would be able to solve it. Hence, I’d like to ask a friend for help. Is there a problem?” At this, Aiden immediately snorted. “Holy sh*t, you’re really something Philip. You even have friends now? Why? Feel like playing hero today? Sure, why don’t you handle this?” After Aiden spoke, the older folks around started bombarding insults. “Mart

He knew what Lamar’s company did. He had told him multiple times.However, this industry was like an endless pit. He was just going to fall deeper and deeper.Did Theo not contact some people to help him with the incident a few days ago?“How should we take care of the clients?” Theo asked.Lamar chuckled coldly. “It’s just a bunch of uncultured old men and women. If they don’t want to invest, do they think they can bring their money into the coffin with them?”Lamar said after seeing Theo’s face falling. “It’s fine, Theo. I know what I’m doing. They are all seniors with no backgrounds.”When he said that, Theo felt more relieved.When the two of them were about to drink, Theo’s phone rang.He looked at the caller ID. It was Mr. Clarke!In an instant, Theo picked up his phone respectfully and shushed Lamar. He said, “It’s Mr. Clarke.”Lamar’s eyes gave an ominous glint when he heard that.Theo had told him about Mr. Clarke before. He was an extraordinary person.He wanted t
The First Heir Chapter 53
Now, back to Philip.After he hung up the phone, he went back to where he was. In the end, the seniors around him started to mumble in disdain. They moved away from him as if he was the plague.“What’s going in? He’s an adult and he’s still embarrassing himself.”“Martha is so unlucky to have a son-in-law like him.”“Ew, let’s go. I smell a disgusting fox among us.”Philip backed away to one side after listening to the cruel accusations and jeers from everyone. He leaned against the wall and crossed his arms to watch what was going on.Aiden saw Philip’s ordeal and was feeling amazing. He flipped him off with glee. Under the heated gaze of the seniors, he straightened his suit and walked over to the manager and staff.“Hello, Sir. Can I help you?”The manager was a woman. Her face was pointy and she had a tiny waist. She was thin but still looked stunning. She was wearing a black business attire with a white patterned shirt that made her look skilled and experienced.“Are you

Vanna was relieved. “That’s great. I’m surprised that my father is so sensible about this. If he dares to send someone to deal with you, I’ll make sure he doesn’t have an easy time either!” Vanna said in a huff. Vanna was angry at the thought of her father’s stubborn streak. “By the way, Hogster may cause trouble for you. I can see that your boss is very powerful. At worst, you can ask your boss to help you out. Not just anyone can take care of this.” Carlos knew how strong Ronan was, but he would be facing a guild. He did not think Ronan could win the fight. Fighting the guild would be the worst option. He hoped that Ronan could think about it carefully without being too conceited. “I think your boss is powerful enough to handle it easily. It’ll be difficult for you to deal with it single-handedly. “Hogster and his guild are very vindictive. You’ll be in trouble if he finds out that you stole his prey. Although the Celestial Palace can help you in certain areas, you'll hav

“Here, let’s eat and drink to our hearts' content. Don’t bother with formalities. Just treat this as your own home!” Ronan enthusiastically poured wine for the guards, who were flattered by his gesture. They knew that Vanna had settled down with this man. He could be considered their boss too, so no one dared to accept the wine he poured personally. Ronan laughed at their reaction and knew that his plan had worked.…. While they marveled at the wine, the guild that had previously asked for Vanna’s hand in marriage received the news. This guild was strong enough to enter into a political marriage with the Celestial Palace, but it was no better than the Celestial Palace. They just wanted to use this opportunity to join forces with the Celestial Palace to become stronger. Unexpectedly, Vanna rejected the marriage and ran away without showing up at all. “Damn it, that woman will turn 20 soon. What will happen if she doesn’t restore her appearance in time? I don't want to marry a

Carlos was so fast that he was back before Ronan knew it. Ronan was nervous when he saw Carlos standing at the door again. “We need to wait for the guild leader to decide what to do. For now, I’m here to protect Vanna. I may need to stay here for the time being. I hope you don't mind.” Carlos was very polite and did not annoy anyone. Hearing that, Philip nodded and made arrangements for the guards to stay. With two vacant rooms left, they had to squeeze a bit. The other party did not make things difficult for them, which meant there was room for negotiation, so they could relax a little. Although Ronan was very nervous, Philip thought they had a chance. “Let’s have a good meal tonight.” Ronan looked at the people squeezed into two rooms, his mouth twitching. Celeste and Darius had taken on the task of cooking, and their food was to die for. “Sure!” Carlos agreed without hesitation, hoping that Ronan would serve more of that wine because he did not have his fill at the g
The First Heir Chapter 6243
As Carlos drank the wine decisively, the guild leader looked at him expectantly. If not for his dignity, he would have tasted the wine already. Carlos took a sip of wine and closed his eyes to savor it in delight. “In my opinion, I don’t think you should take the wine. Just let me take care of it for you!” Carlos could not help teasing him. Carlos and the guild leader were more like brothers, so their interaction was not that formal. The guild leader smiled helplessly, picked up the glass, and drank the wine in one gulp. “This wine…” He was suddenly at a loss for how to describe the beauty of the wine. It felt as if this wine was only fit for heaven, too good for this world. The two took one sip after another until the guild leader wanted to keep the wine away. “Sir, don't be so stingy. There’s still a little bit of wine left. Let's just finish it!” Not just anyone could take this wine. Even a strong practitioner would feel close to bursting after drinking so much. “Get

After going through so much to look for his daughter, the guild leader failed to save her and allowed her to go astray. “This gift is from your son-in… No, that bad guy asked me to give it to you!” Carlos almost blurted out the words ‘son-in-law’ when the guild leader glared daggers at him. The guild leader became interested when Carlos mentioned that Ronan might have a storage space. “Are you sure you’re not mistaken?” The guild leader kept confirming in disbelief. “Not just anyone can have one of those. Why are we not aware of such an extraordinary person?” He could not believe it and thought maybe Carlos was mistaken. “Rest assured, I won’t be mistaken about something like this! He’s very bold. If I’m not mistaken, he must be from a powerful family, but I don't know the details, so you have to decide.” While speaking, Carlos handed over the bottle of wine. The guild leader frowned and opened the bottle of wine. “The gift is just a bottle of wine. Hmph, he’s so stingy.

“I just got the idea all of a sudden!” In the past, Ronan would never have done this. He would have simply rushed forward brashly and messed with the other party, doing so relentlessly. However, that would have only led to a tragic end. Ronan knew that it was the worst option. Not only would he not achieve his goal, but he would also get Vanna into trouble. Hence, he learned from Philip to solve his problems gracefully, and it would be best if he could do it without any effort. Philip was right. Power had the final say. As long as he displayed his strength, they would keep their mouths shut no matter what they thought. “Let's just wait and see what they’ll do.” While Ronan was brimming with confidence, Carlos returned to Celestial Palace with his men, who were quite puzzled. They were wondering why they were returning so soon. They had no idea how strong Ronan was. They simply thought he was all brawn with no brains. “Captain, we don't need to be afraid of him. He’s just

“She’ll never leave with you. You can forget it. I’ll give her everything she wants.” Ronan stepped forward and pulled Vanna behind him. Philip sat aside and watched in silence. He wanted to see how the Celestial Palace would deal with this case. According to Vanna, she was highly favored in the guild. In that case, things should not be so complicated. They should accept the man she loved. “Vanna, this isn’t something we can decide on our own. I’ll go back and report the situation to the guild leader. You must watch out when you're here. Don’t let others deceive you.” Seeing Vanna’s determination, Carlos had no choice but to sigh and leave. It was meaningless for them to remain in a stalemate. Vanna glanced at him without a word. Before Carlos left, Ronan stopped Carlos as if he remembered something. “Since you’re going back to report the situation, take this with you. See it as a gift for my wife’s parents.” Ronan took out a bottle of fine wine and handed it to Carlos. Car

Vanna’s appearance could be restored to normal, so she was not considered ugly but unfortunately cursed. However, that guy’s ugly appearance was permanent. “My birthday is two days away, so they’ll definitely try their best to look for me,” Vanna said dejectedly. She felt a little depressed at the thought that she might be taken back by the guild. “Don't worry, I won't let them take you away.” Suddenly, there was a knock on Philip’s door. They looked outside curiously, already expecting those people at the door. Philip waved his hand, and the door opened. Since they had to face it anyway, they might as well create a commotion. It was Carlos who knocked on the door. After some investigation, he finally learned about Vanna’s situation and rushed over as quickly as possible. He felt his hands shaking when he knocked on the door. “Vanna, nothing must happen to you. Otherwise, we won't be able to make up for it even at the cost of our lives!” Carlos knew how much Vanna was favor
The First Heir Chapter 6238
Although the Celestial Palace practiced a powerful technique, all their members faced the same problem of having an ugly appearance, which could be considered a curse. However, since the curse could be lifted, no one took it seriously. Many people were willing to join the Celestial Palace for strength. Almost everyone could solve the problem before the age of 20, but Vanna’s identity was special, so they were more cautious about it, which was why it had been put off until now. Vanna was simply relieved to regain her true appearance before she turned 20. Besides, Vanna and Ronan got along very well. They felt like they had known each other for a long time and felt close to each other. Nothing could separate them now. “Philip, no matter what happens, I won’t leave Vanna. Even if the people from the Celestial Palace try to stop us, nothing can separate us.” Ronan found Philip and solemnly expressed his determination. Philip nodded at his reaction. That was how a man should behav
