Chapter 1490

“Why are you telling me this? The Clarke family is still the Clarke family. With my father and me around,

the Clarke family will not fall,” Philip said flatly.

He wanted to figure out Sheryl’s purpose in looking for him tonight.

Was it merely to reminisce about the past? Impossible!

He had seen Sheryl’s methods when he was a child.

She may look weak on the surface but her heart was full of schemes.

There were rumors that Sheryl Larson was a candidate to be the future head of the Larson family.

That was right. A female candidate as the head of the Larson family in Fernvale would definitely cause

a worldwide sensation!

Sheryl turned around, looked at Philip seriously, and said, “Philip, don’t you want to find the people

behind the scenes? Don’t you want to find out the truth about your mother’s accident back then?”

At the mention of his mother, Philip’s expression turned cold.

He stared at Sheryl with scorching eyes and asked coldly, “Do you know something about my mother’s

accident?”

Sheryl did not deny it. She walked over, picked up the phoenix feather pendant key from the box, and

said to Philip, “Grandaunt’s death has something to do with this.”

The key to the door?

However, Philip suddenly shuddered and his brows furrowed. He said, “Are you trying to tell me that my

mother’s death has something to do with the Nonagon?”

Sheryl nodded and said, “Your guess is correct. It’s indeed related to the Nonagon. I also heard about

this matter from my grandfather. However, I don’t know any more secrets. You have to find that out

yourself.”

“Why are you telling me this?” Philip looked at the key on the table and asked solemnly.

Sheryl smiled sweetly and said, “She’s my grandaunt and a part of the Larson family. You also have

half of the Larson family’s bloodline. You naturally have the right to know.”

Philip was silent for a moment and said, “Start talking. You invited me over so late at night. The reason

for our meeting is definitely not as simple as just telling me that my mother’s death had something to do

with the Nonagon.”

Sheryl smiled charmingly and said, “You’re very smart, indeed.”

Philip laughed. “Don’t underestimate me. I’m your uncle, after all. According to seniority, you should be

paying your respects to me.”

Sheryl did not refuse. She inclined slightly and said, “How do you do, Uncle.”

Philip shrugged. This woman had a way of doing things. Sheryl did not dwell on such things and said, “I

came to you for another purpose.”

“What purpose?” Philip asked, his face calm and unfathomable.

Sheryl said, “The Larson family won’t be going to the Nonagon. We will gift this key to you. When the

time comes, you’ll go to Nonagon instead of the Larson family.”

Hearing this, Philip frowned.

He needed to go to the Nonagon instead of the Larson family?

He had absolutely no deeper understanding about the door and the Nonagon right now. All he had was

just a general understanding.

“Excuse me, but I think the Larson family has found the wrong person.”

Philip put the phoenix feather pendant key that he was fidgeting with in his hand back on the table and

got up to leave.

Sheryl seemed to have guessed that this would happen and said without haste, “Don’t you want to

know about the news of your sister, Hannah Clarke, in Country M?”
