Chapter 119
The First Heir
He hung up.
Aidenâs entire face was red from the laughter he was holding back. Soon, though, he burst out laughing
with Dan and the others, pointing at Philip and taunting him, âWell, f*ck me sideways! Philip, are you a
f*cking idiot? You want to destroy my dadâs company and mine in ten minutes? You?â
Aiden was so angry that all he could do was laugh.
Had Philip gone absolutely insane?
However, Philip merely smiled calmly and said, âYouâll know soon enough.â
At the same time, George was already getting to work on his end.
It was ridiculously easy for him to take down Splendor Education Group and Stardream Media.
He just had to dig up some dirt on them, right?
Easy peasy.
Soon enough, thanks to Georgeâs machinations, he received files full of Splendor Education Group and
Stardream Mediaâs dirtiest secrets.
George just gave the information a glance before handing them to his subordinates for follow-up.
After that, he picked up his phone and called his young master. âItâs all done, Young Master. You just
have to turn on the television now if you want to see it.â
At the same time, Philip asked Javier to turn the TV behind the large projector in the restaurant lobby to
the news channels.
Aiden did not quite understand what was happening here.
However, he had a vague sixth sense that instilled in him a premonition of danger.
Soon enough, he heard the hostessâs voice coming from the TV. âBreaking news, it has been reported
that there was a child sexual assault case at Periwinkle Star Preschool, one of the local preschools
under Splendor Education Group. The principal and other related persons-in-charge have been
arrested. The police investigations are underwayâ¦â
When they reported that piece of news, Aidenâs face turned green!
How did this happen?
Did they not shut down this incident a week ago?
Why was it suddenly exposed now?
It was even being reported on the largest news channel in Riverdale!
Who was it? Who was f*cking out for his familyâs company?
Immediately after thatâ¦
âBreaking news! The chairman of Splendor Education Group, Gordon Grant, has tunneled funds
multiple times. The police have already established a special investigation team to raid Splendor
Education Group. They will be looking into this thoroughly!â
Boom!
Aiden was so scared that his legs shook and he also lost his balance. His eyes were wide as he stared
at the images on the screen.
No way!
His old manâs tunneling antics had been exposed too!
They were seriously done for this time!
Aiden was properly scared now. He immediately took out his phone and called his father. âDad, what do
we do? What should we do? Itâs even on TV! Hurry up and figure something out, I donât want to go to
jail.â
Gordon roared at him across the phone, âAiden Grant! Who the f*ck did you offend?! Youâve destroyed
our entire family! Youâve destroyed us! Do you understand?!â
Aiden was stunned, his brain buzzing.
He instantly raised his head and looked at Philip. The latter looked calm and even wore a small smile.
Impossible.
There was no way this was Philipâs doing. He was a useless piece of trash. He could never do
something this considerable.
âDad, I⦠I donât know either. I just⦠Philip Clarke, heâ¦â Aiden was clearly panicked now, his words
tumbling all over the place.
Just thenâ¦
âBreaking news, Stardream Media, founded by Aiden Grant, the son of Splendor Education Groupâs
chairman, Gordon Grant, has been accused of having unspoken rules and casting couch antics. A
combined special forces team has already arrested the related employees at the company, and they
are now urgently seeking the CEO, Aiden Grantâ¦â
Smack!
Aidenâs phone fell from his phone and onto the floor. When he heard that news, his brain simply
stopped working. His knees gave way under him and he fell onto the floor, his eyes losing focus and his
body trembling.
It was over. It was all over.
As for Dan and the others, they had made a run for it the moment they saw things going south.
Philip looked down at Aiden coolly, saying, âI told you Iâd make you regret it. A punishment of this extent
is not unreasonable, is it? Spend the rest of your life making up for your sins in prison.â
Aiden was terrified. He immediately pounced at Philip and hugged his leg, tears pouring down his face
as he begged, âBrother Clarke, Brother Clarke! Iâm begging you, spare me! I was wrong, Iâm sorry, I
really am! I wonât do anything like that again! Please, spare me! I donât want to be arrested, I donât want
to go to jail. Just spare me and Iâll do anything.â
As he said that, Aiden fell to his knees and kowtowed repeatedly, knocking his head against the floor
until it bled!
In the face of Aidenâs howls and pleas, Philip simply walked past him perfectly calmly.
Javier later called the police. Within ten minutes, Aiden was escorted out of the back door and into the
police car.
Philip did not feel an ounce of mercy when he saw Aiden being taken away.
Aiden deserved every bit of this.
Outside the door, Wynn had been waiting in the cold wind for more than ten minutes. She was worried
about Philip, her heart racing for some reason.
When Wynn saw Philip walking out of the restaurant safely in one piece, she immediately pounced at
Philip and threw her arms around him, hugging him tightly. âThank goodness youâre okay.â
Philip blinked, and then the corners of his lips rose. He patted her back and said, âIâm fine.â
Wynn let go of him and gave him an angry look. âWhereâs Aiden? How did you settle your fight? Also,
why did Mr. Morris call you Mr. Clarke? He was the one who gave my dad that good wine and
membership card. Was the Mr. Clarke he mentioned back then you?â
Wynn asked several questions in close succession, the desire in her eyes burning strongly. Was it him?
Philip paused for a moment, patting her head and saying with a gentle smile, âWynn, you always
wanted to know what my parents do, right? What my family used to do? Iâll tell you right now.â
