Chapter 1651
The First Heir
Upon hearing this, Charles and Martha fell silent.
Philip had made it clear enough. If Martin and Bernard really did something illegal, Philip would not let
them off the hook.
After much hesitation, Charles asked, âCan you not take it to the extreme? After all, theyâre my second
and third brothers. Theyâre Wynnâs uncles.â
Philip thought about it and replied, âDad, what if they had tried to send Wynn to prison and wanted to
kill the two of you?â
Martha immediately panicked at his words and shouted, âPhilip, in that case, be tough on them! Take
things to the extreme!â
Martha did not wish to die.
Charles was very surprised and hurt that his brothers would backstab him. Charles shook his head, got
up helplessly, and left the room.
Wynn looked at Charlesâ departing back and felt very sad. She suddenly thought that her father had
aged a lot at that moment.
âPhilip, if possible, I still hope that you wonât be too tough on my uncles.â Wynn raised her eyebrows
and looked at Philip, her gaze clear and gentle.
Philip nodded and said, âI have my discretion.â
A night passed without incidents. The next day, Philip received Victorâs report.
âYoung Master Clarke, we found out something. Martin sent his son, Liam Johnston, to Uppercreek to
seek cooperation with the Uppercreek Chamber of Commerce. How do you think we should handle this
matter?â Victor stood next to Philip who was eating breakfast.
Philip ate a mouthful of cereal and said after some thought, âLiam Johnston? I got it. Iâll personally go to
the Uppercreek Chamber of Commerce later. I want you to arrange for more people to monitor the
movement around the hotel and watch out for the group of people who barged into the hotel a few days
ago. Have you found out anything about the other party?â
Victor shook his head and said, âYoung Master Clarke, to tell you the truth, we tried to look into it but
thereâs no news at all. Itâs clear the people who came that day are not to be underestimated. They must
have considerable influence and background.â
Philip wiped his mouth as he nodded and said, âOkay, I got it.â
About half an hour later, Philip arrived at the Uppercreek Chamber of Commerce.
Martin had told Liam to come here to discuss cooperation. It seemed that he was in a hurry to develop
Martin Pharmaceutical and was targeting the market in Uppercreek.
Martin had the right idea. After all, the medical market in Uppercreek was huge and indeed the best
choice. Beacon Group had also recently expanded into Uppercreek, so Philip had to make certain
arrangements first.
Philip was about to step into the Uppercreek Chamber of Commerce when he smelled a perfume. The
next moment, he heard an exclamation of pain.
A graceful figure was knocked to the floor by Philip.
âAre you blind? Donât you watch where youâre going?â
That graceful figure wore a tight-fitting white V-neck blouse paired with a red hip-hugging skirt. Her
straight and slender legs were wrapped in a layer of light black stockings, and she wore black high
heels.
Trendy and sexy!
She had a tiny waist, slim hips, and presented a unique attractiveness.
Especially those red lips that looked very striking. They could render a man powerless with one glance.
Philip had not done it on purpose. He quickly pulled the other party up and said apologetically, âIâm very
sorry. Are you alright?â
Smack!
The other party slapped Philipâs hand away fiercely and stood up on her own.
The woman groaned miserably while holding her hips. She angrily took off the wide sunglasses on her
face, pointed at Philip, and yelled, âAre you blind, you stinking *ss?!â
As a resultâ¦
The two of their gazes met and things took a turn for the worse.
âPhilip Clarke?â
The woman exclaimed with a look of surprise as well as a hint of teasing and mockery in her eyes.
âRuby Ford?â
Philip finally came to his senses too.
