Chapter 1552
The First Heir
Since young, he had had his fair share of being beaten by William like this. It had left a shadow in his
heart.
William belted him several times before turning around and squeezing out a smile. He did not even
dare to wipe the cold sweat off his forehead and spoke to Philip, âMr. Clarke, Iâm sorry. My son is
ignorant and has offended your wife. Why donât I get him to apologize to your wife?â
âWhy are you lying down and pretending to be dead? Quickly get up and apologize to Mr. Clarke!â
William yelled at the howling Toby.
A dumbfounded Toby was dragged up by William to apologize to Philip.
However, Philip said, âPatriarch Little, you may have misunderstood something. I never promised to let
him go. Of course, I didnât promise to spare the Little family either. Besides, your son was quite
adamant about sending my wife to jail just now. He even wanted me to kneel and apologize to him.â
Hearing this, Williamâs mouth twitched as his eyes flashed with a chill. His fists were clenched tightly as
he said with a humorless smile, âMr. Clarke, thereâs no need to go to the extreme, right? Why canât we
talk about this? Itâs better to forgive and forget. Yes, my son is a little disobedient. Iâll go back and teach
him a good lesson. Regarding your wifeâs matter, my Little family will not interfere.â
âPatriarch Little, I donât think we have anything to talk about. Besides, according to what I found out,
youâre not a good person either. If I just let you go today, you might turn around and stab me in the
back someday.â
The corners of Philipâs mouth lifted into a cold smile as he placed his hands behind his back. There
was a chill in his eyes.
Williamâs face darkened as he snorted. He no longer appeared shabby and lowly as cold intent surged
from him.
He said to Philip grimly, âMr. Clarke, am I still unable to change your mind despite lowering my stance?
In that case, I wonât conceal it any longer. Iâm not a simple person either. Although you have some
means and can make use of your connection with Mr. Holland, I have people behind me as well. Even
Mr. Holland might have to watch his next step.â
âOh? Do you mean the bar association?â Philip suddenly smiled.
Thump!
William frowned as a trace of foreboding welled in his heart.
He actually guessed it. How could that be?
Calm down! He must be calm!
William immediately recovered and said, âYou guessed it right. Youâre not an ordinary person, indeed.
In that case, I donât have to say anything more, right? Why donât we just end this matter right now?â
Philip scoffed. âSure, if you get out of Uppercreek and out of the legal circle right now, I wonât pursue
this matter any longer.â
âYouâ¦!â
William frowned and snorted before saying, âMr. Clarke, you shouldnât go too far with this. Since you
know that the person standing behind me is from the bar association, you should understand his
influence. Heâs not someone you can easily mess with! â
William was angry.
He was already so humble but the other party still displayed such a tough attitude.
Did Philip really think he was a pushover?
âIs that so? In that case, I really want to see if thereâs anyone I canât afford to mess with! â Philip said as
the cold light in the corner of his eyes became more piercing.
