Chapter 1597

”Notify all the media in the city and announce the secret about Wynn.”

When Bernard heard this, he was still a little worried and asked, “Martin, if we really do this, there’ll be

no turning back. At that time, Charles will no longer tolerate us and that’ll be the end of our kinship.

Moreover, we’ve promised our big brother and sister-in-law that we’ll never disclose Wynn’s secret to

the outside world. If this is revealed, not only Wynn but also Charles and Martha will be criticized.”

Martin’s face appeared dark as he looked at Bernard with raised eyebrows, saying, “Bernard, do you

think we have another way out now? Since Philip is forcing us like this, why should we care about

family affection? It’s every man for himself!”

Martin did not want to reveal the secret that had been buried for more than 20 years either. However, at

this point, he had no other choice.

If Philip had been willing to give in, he would not have resorted to this!

Bernard thought about it and said, “Martin, let’s do it this way. We’ll tell Philip this secret and let him

make his choice before we act. This way, we’re giving him a choice. If Philip still remains obstinate,

then we won’ t be blamed for our actions.”

Martin thought about it and felt that Bernard was right. After pondering for a while, he said, “Okay, let‘s

do as you say. We’ll leave the choice in Philip’s hands. If he relents, everyone will be better off. If he

persists, we’ll notify the city’s media and announce the secret!”

Bernard nodded and immediately turned around to leave the suite.

After Philip returned to First Palace, Theo said respectfully, “Mr. Clarke, I’ve sent people to investigate

the company’s shareholders. The remaining people, although not all of them are clean, are still loyal to

Beacon. How do you wish to deal with them?”

Philip stood in the living room with his hands behind his back. He looked at the sky outside and said,

“Let’s just give them a little warning and not cause panic. After all, Beacon still needs these talents.”

“Then, what about those who have turned their backs on Beacon?” Theo asked again.

Philip thought for a moment and said, “Make them understand the consequences of turning their backs

on Beacon. There’ll be no place for them in Riverdale!”

“Understood.” Theo nodded in response before he left First Palace.

At the same time, 17 walked in gracefully, sat on the sofa, and nibbled on an apple. She said, “Young

Master, I just returned from Martin’s side. They seem to have a secret in their hands and are planning

to make a move against you and Madam.”

Philip laughed and said, “Very well. I was really worried that they wouldn’t dare to make a move.”

Secret?

He really wanted to find out what kind of secret they held in their hands.

The point of view shifted to those executives and shareholders who had been driven out of Beacon. At

this moment, they had arrived at the hotel where Martin was staying.

Martin met them in the small hall and asked solemnly, “Are you saying that Philip kicked all of you out?”

“Yes, Mr. Johnston. I didn’t expect that brat to be so heartless. He actually drove all of us out.”

“Mr. Johnston, we have no other way out and can only come to you.”

“Mr. Johnston, you have to understand that we were forced into not going with you before. You know

that we have a foundation in Beacon, but with Philip acting like this, we have nothing else to hold on to.

We just hope that you can take us in.”

For a while, everyone spoke their mind and looked at Martin earnestly.
