Chapter 171
The First Heir
Philipâs fiancée?
Wynn could feel her heart skip a beat. Her fair hands clenched together in fists as she grabbed her
dress. She looked at Chloe in disbelief. Then, she lowered her eyes and her lips started to tremble.
What was going on?
She was Philipâs fiancée?
Why did Philip not tell her about this?
At this moment, Wynn was feeling all kinds of emotions in her heart. It was difficult for her to calm
herself down. She was so nervous that she took a big gulp of her coffee to control her emotions.
Chloe smirked coldly. She was feeling pleased with herself and it was made obvious by the smirk on
her face. She continued to say, âPhilip and I are childhood sweethearts. Weâve known each other since
we were young. Seven years ago, he left without a word at our engagement party. I didnât expect him to
be married and have a daughter seven years later,â Chloe said slowly. Each and every word she said
made Wynn feel like a sinner.
She had known Philip from a long time ago. They were also childhood sweethearts.
Wynn was a woman, so she could understand the pain of a man leaving without a wordâespecially
during their engagement party.
This was the ultimate humiliation for a woman.
âI⦠Iâm sorry. Iâll apologize to you on Philipâs behalf.â
Wynn managed to say this after a long while. Her eyes were already wet with tears.
She had already put up her armor, but now, she was collapsing and falling apart.
Wynn did not know how she should fight this anymore. After all, her opponent was Chloe.
âYou said you know Philip, but did he ever tell you about me?â Chloe asked.
Wynn shook her head and did not dare to look at Chloe. The wind messed up her hair.
Chloe shook her head helplessly and said, âI didnât think that heâd hide this from you. I wonder what
heâs thinking.â
âWhat do you mean?â Wynn could detect the hidden meaning in this.
Chloe looked at the other party coldly. She was looking at her like she was examining her. There was
also pity in her eyes. She said, âDo you really think Philip is the man you see in your daily life? Heâs
always quiet and has to suffer mockery and humiliation from your family every day. In front of all of you,
he has become a spineless coward.â
Wynn did not say anything. She had already predicted this. Philip was not the spineless coward that
she thought he was.
His huge transformation recently proved that.
âPhilip told me his family runs a business. He told me that he ran away from home.â Wynn wanted to
get the upper hand. She told Chloe that in a serious tone, but she sounded guilty.
Chloe smiled. She was smiling in an icy and exaggerated manner.
âYou believe him?â Chloe asked. âWhat if I tell you that the Clarkes own this restaurant and that this
restaurant belongs to Philip. Will you still believe him?â
The Clarkes owned this restaurant?
How was that possible?
This was the Northern Sky Western Restaurant. There were only 17 in the entire country!
They had assets up to a few billion!
Wynn frowned. She was extremely nervous and curious.
What was Philip hiding from her?
Chloe continued slowly. âI donât think you know him all that much. I donât know what qualifications a
woman like you have to be Philipâs wife.â
She was mocking and humiliating Wynn deviously.
Wynn lowered her head even further. Tears started rolling down her eyes uncontrollably. âIâm sorry, I
need to go to the restroom.â
Wynn ran to the restroom and broke down. She finally calmed down after a few minutes. She touched
up her makeup and walked out to continue talking with Chloe.
Chloe could tell Wynn had been crying. The arrogance on her face did not diminish. She said, âWynn,
in these seven years, youâve just been a toy to Philip. You donât even know what his family does nor
who he is. And you still have the guts to say that you know him? Do you think Philip really loves you?
âI, Chloe Sommerset, am Philip Clarkeâs future. I have what you donât have. I knew Philip since we
were young and I know everything about him. Plus, we have a wedding contract. Even if he left without
saying anything, itâs still in effect.
âWynn, divorce Philip. I can give you everything you want,â Chloe said sentence by sentence. She
became more and more overbearing.
She took out a black card from her purse and said, âHereâs 30 million. Youâll get another 30 million once
you divorce Philip.â
Wynn grabbed her dress tightly. She lifted her head and had a serious expression on her face. She
said, âMiss Sommerset, thank you for telling me all these. However, I have to tell you that Philip is my
husband and heâs also Milaâs father. I wonât give him up no matter what you say.â
After she said that, Wynn got up and walked out of the restaurant.
Chloe sat on her seat and faced the wind. She looked at the tallest building not far away. It was the
Apex Tower. She muttered, âWynn, do you know that the tower over there belongs to Philip as well?
How will a stupid woman like you be Philipâs perfect match?â
Chloe took out her phone after she said that and called a number. She said coldly, âDo it well. I donât
want to leave any traces behind.â
A deep masculine voice replied on the other end of the phone, âDonât worry, Miss Sommerset. Weâll
definitely do it perfectly. Iâll ask my men to tarnish her tonight.â
Chloe hung up the phone instantly. There was no warmth in her eyes.
âWynn, donât blame me for doing this.
âYou shouldnât be with Philip. He belongs only to me, Chloe Sommerset.
âI will personally destroy anyone who gets close to Philip.â
