Chapter 1601
The First Heir
Philip looked at Bernard coldly, took the envelope from his hand, and opened it in front of him.
After just two glances, the expression on Philipâs face quickly turned chilly. His eyes soon became
colder than an abyss!
This⦠This wasâ¦
He looked up, abruptly grabbed Bemard by the collar, and shook the information in his hand while
shouting coldly, âWhat is this? Are you using such dirty methods to frame Wynn? Donât think that I can
be fooled this easily!â
Bernard sneered and said, âDo you think this is made up? What if I tell you that itâs true?â
Hearing this, Philip was startled.
Bernard took the opportunity to shake off Philipâs hand and adjusted his necktie. He said coldly, âPhilip,
the Johnston family has kept this a secret for more than 20 years. We never planned on announcing
this, but if you insist on opposing us, then this secret will be spread all over Riverdale! When that
happens, you can surely imagine how Wynn will end up. I hope you think about it. No hurry, weâll give
you one day.â
With a sinister smile, Bernard patted Philip on the shoulder.
Philip was still staring at the contents of the document, his face full of shock and disbelief.
How did this happen?
If Wynn knew about this, what would she think and how would she suffer?
Immediately after, Philip glared at Bernard and warned, âThe contents of this must never be leaked out.
If you dare to say a single word, I wonât spare you!â
Swoosh!
As soon as Philip said that, seven or eight black-suited thugs rushed out of the villa and surrounded
Bernard, threatening him.
At this scene, Bernard panicked and yelled, âPhilip, the choice is in your hands now. Think about what
you should do! If you give up fighting us, this secret will not be leaked out. But if you continue opposing
us, we wonât care if this information is spread all over Riverdale!â
Bernard also gritted his teeth and finished his last sentence before he got into the car to leave.
At the gate, Philip stood alone and grasped the document in his hand. He was confused and worried.
He quickly dialed a number and said coldly, âRick, help me confirm one thing. Iâll send you the
information right away!â
âYes, Young Master!â On the other end of the line, Rick did not sound as lazy as before. He naturally
felt the urgency of the matter from Philipâs tone.
Soon, Philip took photos of the information and sent them to Rick
Then, he said coldly to his subordinates, âYou guys, follow Martin Johnston and watch his movements.
Also, immediately contact all major media in Riverdale and tell them that if they dare to report anything
about Wynn Jolmston, I definitely wonât let them off!â
âYes, Mr. Clarke! â several people responded and quickly left the villa.
Philip clenched his fist and held the document in his hand, his heart in turmoil.
He was worried about what Wynn would think if she knew about this.
Bernard returned to the hotel after he left First Palace.
âMartin, Iâve delivered the information. Philipâs face almost turned green when he read it.â Bernard
trotted in with a smile. He took the teapot on the table and poured himself some tea, taking a big
mouthful of it.
Martin was fooling around with a few call girls he had invited over. Seeing Bernard back, he sat up on
the sofa and asked with a smile, âOh? Was his expression that bad?â
âBut of course. After all, once that secret is leaked out, Wynn will definitely collapse!â Bernard smiled
coldly and continued, âBy the way, Iâm sure Philip will make some preparations. Should I contact the
media now and give them a heads-up?â
Martin nodded and said, âWell, itâs good to make early preparations. Philip didnât say anything else and
just allowed you to return?â
âMaybe he got scared. I thought he was a powerful force, but I didnât expect that heâs just a wimp.â
Bernard laughed, his eyes full of mockery.
