Chapter 1664
The First Heir
It was a little later in the day. Liam had just met up with his third uncle.
Bernard had brought along several secretaries and bodyguards with him to the hotel suite.
Bernard was sitting leisurely on the sofa with narrowed eyes. Seeing Liam return with a sullen face, he
raised his eyebrows and asked, âWhatâs going on? How did the negotiation with the Uppercreek
Chamber of Commerce go? As far as I know, they should be very keen to expand the medical market.â
âUncle Bernard,â Liam lowered his head and greeted.
Looking at his appearance, Bernard noticed that something was wrong and asked seriously, âTell me
the truth, you didnât offend Director Luther, did you?â
As soon as these words were uttered, the secretaries brought by Bernard shifted their worried eyes to
Liam.
âLiam, what the hell is going on? Hurry up and say something. What did Mr. Luther say?â Bernard said
anxiously.
âUncle Bernard!â
Thud!
Liam knelt on the floor and cried out to Bernard, âHoyt Luther refuses to cooperate with Martin
Pharmaceutical. He said, he saidâ¦â
Seeing the look on Liamâs face, Bernard froze as he said sternly, âTell me, what did he say?!â
Liam was frightened and muttered, âHe said that Martin Pharmaceutical is not the only one that wants
to cooperate with the Uppercreek Chamber of Commerce and heâs very optimistic about Beacon Group
as the medical community in Uppercreek only recognizes Beacon Group now.â
Smack!
Bernard slammed the coffee table angrily and glared at Liam. He pointed at him as he reprimanded
sternly, âWhat stupid thing did you do? This is a business worth hundreds of millions! I⦠Iâm going to
kill you!â
While cursing, Bernard raised his hand and was about to rush over when he was stopped by several
people on the side.
âMr. Johnston, calm down. Things have already happened and we should be thinking of a solution.â
âThatâs right, Mr. Johnston. Donât get angry, itâs not good for your health. Heâs your nephew, after all.â
Bernard gasped angrily and sat on the sofa again. He glared at Liam coldly and shouted, âHurry up and
tell me the details of your meeting with Director Luther. How did this decision suddenly come about?â
Liam trembled with fear. His eyes darted around as he quickly said, âUncle Bernard, you canât blame
me for this. Itâs that bastard Philip Clarke who messed things up!â
âPhilip Clarke?â
Everyoneâs face was full of questions. Bernard could not figure out how this matter had anything to do
with Philip either.
âYes, it was him!â Liam said as he recounted the story with additional embellishments. âWhen I got
there, Philip was already there. It must be because of Wynn. She must be holding a grudge and told
Philip to spread nasty lies about us in front of Hoyt. Otherwise, how could Hoyt suddenly change his
mind?â
âGood! Very well done, indeed! Philip Clarke and Wynn Johnston!â
Bernard was livid. With a chilly face, he said angrily, âMake a call to Master Eight. I want to see how
capable Philip is in Uppercreek!â
Bernard was really angry.
Philip Clarke was everywhere!
He even had to disrupt their cooperation with the Uppercreek Chamber of Commerce!
At this moment, Russell Carl stood up and said, âMr. Johnston, I think we shouldnât be too hasty about
this matter. Since Director Luther of the Uppercreek Chamber of Commerce has already said so, it
means that he wonât consider cooperating with us for the time being. However, he didnât reject us
outright. I think heâs still considering it. It just so happens that Manager Johnston has booked a private
room in the Imperial Court tonight. We can go over and see what happens next.â
Bernardâs face was cold but he nodded and said, âOkayâ¦â
However, he added angrily, âBut I canât swallow this down. That damned Philip has repeatedly screwed
things up for us. I still want to teach him a lesson!â
After saying that, Bernard dialed Master Eightâs phone number and coldly asked, âMaster Eight, have
you gotten anything regarding the matter I asked you to do?â
Master Eight had been worried about Philip and Master Bellâs revenge. When he received the call from
Bernard at this time, he immediately roared, âBernard Johnston, f*ck you! I havenât looked for you yet
but you have the galls to come looking for me first!â
