Chapter 1067
The First Heir
Consider?
Did they still need to think about it?
The three bosses glanced at each other and shook their heads helplessly. One after another, they
eagerly began to flatter Philip and said, âWe agree to the cooperation.â
Philip nodded and said, âAs it should be. Since weâre cooperative partners now, all of us are friends.â
After that, Philip looked at Agnes.
The latter suddenly came back to her senses and hurriedly invited the three bosses to enter the
general managerâs office again to renegotiate the terms of cooperation.
Very soon, an agreement was reached.
After sending the three bosses away, Agnes returned to the general managerâs office and saw Philip
sitting on the sofa, sipping tea.
âMr. Clarke, Iâ¦â
Agnes felt a little guilty because she had not performed well.
In the end, Philip needed to step forward and solve it for her.
She felt that she was not qualified for this job.
Philip seemed to notice Agnesâ hesitation and self-blame. He said with a smile, âAgnes, there are no
outsiders here. Donât call me Mr. Clarke. Just call me Philip.â
Agnes did not dwell on this topic and said, âPhilip, I donât think Iâm qualified for the general managerâs
position. I want to resign.â
As she said that, Agnes felt that she had let Philip down.
Her eyes went red.
Philip seemed to have guessed that Agnes was going to say this, so he smiled and said, âAgnes, I
know what youâre thinking. But in my eyes, youâre more than capable of taking up the position of
general manager. I believe in you. Letâs put it another way. Even if this company goes down, it wonât
affect me that much.â
Agnes glanced at Philip when she heard his words and said, âAre you so rich now that you donât feel
anything even if the company goes bust?â
Philip laughed and said, âReally, Agnes, you have to believe in yourself. What happened today has
nothing to do with your capability. You may come across something like this again in the future. At that
time, you have to learn to exercise your judgment and act decisively. Who are the people you can talk
to about cooperation and who are the people only suitable for tough methods to force them to talk
about cooperation?
âAgnes, donât think too much into it. If you feel that you canât do it by yourself, you can hire more
talents,â Philip continued.
Agnes thought for a long time before saying, âOkay, Iâll try again.â
Philip got up, pressed Agnesâ shoulder, and said, âNot only do you have to try, but you also have to fully
believe in your own abilities. If you have any problems that canât be solved, just call me and we can
discuss it together.â
Agnes turned her head, the corners of her mouth lifting into a smile. Her face was filled with a
coquettish smile as she said, âOkay, Iâll work hard.â
After chatting for a while, Philip got up and prepared to leave the company.
However, just at this time, the phone rang suddenly.
After Philip answered it, Theoâs anxious voice came from the other end of the phone. âMr. Clarke, I
have something urgent to report to you!â
Philip was a little surprised to receive a call from Theo at this time. Moreover, listening to the manâs
tone, he sounded very anxious.
Could it be that something had happened?
âWhatâs the matter?â Philip asked.
âMr. Clarke, itâs about your sister-in-law, Lynn Johnston, and Mrs. Clarke. Iâm afraid something has
happened to them!â Theo said anxiously. He was in his Maybach rushing to Philipâs location.
What?!
Philipâs head buzzed. It had only been a few days and something happened to Wynn again?
This time, Lynn was involved as well!
He did not have time to ask for the details before he ran out of the company. As soon as he left the
building, Theoâs car stopped at the door.
âWhat happened exactly?â
Philipâs face darkened as he growled.
Theo sweated profusely as he said, âMr. Clarke, Mrs. Clarke received a phone call in the hospital and
hurried out. According to the menâs report, she went to a local money-lending company. The boss of
the company is Ulrich Craig, a person with ruthless methods and who has made lots of dirty
transactions. He came from out of town two years ago.â
âUlrich Craig?â Philip frowned and asked, âWhatâs his background?â
âUlrich Craig is a very dangerous guy. In two years, he took over all the large and small money-lending
companies in Riverdale. His methods are harsh and vicious. Heâs extremely prideful. Moreover,
according to recent news, this guy is being supported by someone behind him. This time, for Mrs.
Clarke to enter one of his companies, itâs most likely related to money.â
Theo finished speaking in one breath and felt a little flustered.
He and Ulrich had never crossed paths, so everyone was at peace.
After all, Ulrichâs business did not conflict with Theoâs.
Besides, Ulrich was not engaged in power scuffles. He merely raised his own thugs, or in other words,
debt collectors.
Philip frowned. Was this issue related to money?
Did Wynn borrow money from a loan shark?
âLetâs go.â
Philip was anxious. Wynn should be resting now. If something happened again, the baby could be
gone.
Theo opened the car door. The two got into the car and sped toward Ulrichâs company.
Dozens of black Mercedes-Benz cars followed closely behind Theoâs car to Ulrichâs company.
