Chapter 1435
The First Heir
Philip stood at the door and looked at that wonderful figure with a faint sneer at the corner of his mouth.
He took a few steps forward and sat on the fluffy sofa. There was already a glass of red wine on the
table, glinting mesmerizingly.
Rachel turned around with a charming smile and moved to walk in front of Philip. She deliberately
raised her leg high before crossing it as she sat down. She said with a smile, âYouâre finally here. Iâve
been waiting for you for ages.â
Her voice was soft and gentle, making people tingle all over.
With such beautiful scenery of a charming woman and fine wine, any man would be moved.
Philip smiled lightly, a trace of cunningness flashing in his eyes as he asked, âTell me whatâs your
purpose of asking me here. Itâs late at night. A man and a woman being alone in a room together can
be very dangerous.â
Rachel giggled alluringly, and her figure also looked seductive.
âYoung Master Clarke, whatâs the matter? Canât we just sit and enjoy the view of the moon while
drinking and talking about life?â Rachel smiled, seductive charm occasionally filling her gaze.
Now that he was here, could he escape from her palms?
Rachel sneered inwardly, but her face still appeared as charming as ever.
âItâs not necessary for us to enjoy the view of the moon and talk about life. Weâre nothing alike. Talking
too much will only defeat the purpose.â
Philip shrugged his shoulders and said, seemingly having seen through Rachelâs tricks.
After that, he got up and said, âIf thereâs nothing else, Iâll be leaving now. Well, the scent in this room is
good but I wonât be drinking this wine. Iâm afraid youâll drug me.â
When Rachel heard this, her shapely eyebrows furrowed as she bit her red lip. Today, she had
deliberately put on a fiery red shade of lipstick. Naturally, there was something about this lipstick.
She got up and quickly rushed in front of Philip. She stopped at the door and pressed her soft body
against the door. She straightened up slightly, stared at Philip seductively, and stretched out her small
pale hand. She played with Philipâs shirt and said, âOh, are you scared? Afraid that Iâll pounce on you?â
Philip raised his brows, grabbed Rachelâs delicate wrist, and said coldly, âWhat the hell do you want?â
âOh, youâre hurting me.â
Rachel exclaimed delicately before reaching out and pushing Philip away. Then, she turned and walked
past him. She sat back on the sofa and said, âIf I can tell you some secrets about the Gentleman Court,
will you still leave?â
Secrets of the Gentleman Court?
Philip paused, turned around, and looked at the woman who was sitting on the sofa with her jade-like
legs crossed. She was sipping on red wine.
Interesting.
She was setting a trap.
He returned to his seat, looked at the smiling Rachel in front of him, and said, âIf you can say
something that interests me, perhaps I can consider taking you under my wing. How about that?â
Rachel laughed, the front of her body shaking slightly. She said, âYoung Master Clarke, stop kidding
me. Youâre the young master of the Clarke family on Arcadia Island. You shouldnât be interested in a
woman like me.â
Philip shrugged and said, âNot necessarily. I only look at a personâs ability and whether they would be
of value to me.â
Rachel did not dwell on this topic and asked, âMay I know how much you know about the Gentleman
Court?â
While saying that, she carefully stared at Philipâs face, wanting to discern something.
Philip looked calm and replied, âYou can try to start from the beginning.â
Rachel chuckled. âYoung Master Clarke, youâre really different from what I imagined you to be. In that
case, Iâll first talk about Chester Ludwig, the person who captured your daughter this time.â
Philip nodded and motioned for her to continue.
âChester is a person the lord has taken a fancy to. This person is capable and courageous. He was
ruthless enough to even betray his own biological brother. The lord took a fancy to his attributes and
recruited him into the Gentleman Court. This time, he kidnapped your daughter because you made a
move against the Wes family of Uppercreek. Uppercreek is under Chesterâs territory. Since you
intervened in his affairs first, you canât blame him for being angry.â
Rachel said slowly and glanced at Philipâs face. There was no fluctuation. She frowned and said,
âSince your daughter has been found, donât you think this matter can just end here?â
With that said, the suite fell into silence.
