Chapter 1808
The First Heir
Philip turned around, looked at the woman, and said with a smile, âOld George has told me about you.
Youâve been very capable.â
Maia Harp was the Clarke familyâs person in charge of Hampton and also the chief president in
Charbury, as arranged by the Clarke family.
She was only 28 years old this year but she was already a successful career woman. She was in
charge of all the Clarke familyâs businesses and staffing arrangements in Charbury. She may be a
woman but she was more capable than a man!
Otherwise, the Clarke family would not have appointed her as the chief president of the Charbury
region.
âThank you for the compliment, Young Master.â Maia smiled, her eyebrows arching like half crescents.
She added, âButler Thomas has already briefed me about the purpose of your visit to Hampton this
time. Iâll definitely carry out your arrangements. Please rest assured in giving me your orders.â
Philip nodded and asked, âHow much do you know about the Dunley family in Charbury?â
Maia replied without hesitation, âThe Dunley family is the king in the entire Charbury area. No one
dares to mess with them. The economic development of the entire Charbury area is driven by the
Dunley family. No one can rock the position of the Dunley family in Charbury.â
Philip nodded as he stroked his chin, saying, âContinue.â
Maia continued, âThe current patriarch of the Dunley family is Sterling Dunley. He got the position of
patriarch after a coup dâétat. He secretly joined forces with his third brother, Spencer Dunley, and
snatched the position of patriarch that should have belonged to the eldest son of the Dunley family.
Therefore, any gossip about Sterling and Spencer in the Charbury area is taboo. Moreover, the Dunley
family employed iron handed methods to handle this matter, exiling all the people who were involved
back then. The eldest son of the Dunley family, Godfrey Dunley, got both his legs broken. He has been
put under house arrest for 20 years now.â
âSterling Dunley and Spencer Dunley? What do you know about these two people?â Philip frowned and
asked.
Maia replied, âSterling is a talented prodigy. Since taking over the position of patriarch, the Dunley
family has undergone a renewal. The development of the Dunley familyâs power has also become very
rapid. In just ten years, they have become a great clan in the mainland and are on equal footing with
the Wallis family in Golden City. Moreover, according to the news from Butler Thomas, the former
Dunley family was also a behemoth. They were one of the six great clans back then, sitting at the same
conference table with the Clarke family to discuss and work together. They were also a frequent visitor
to the round table. Only later did the Dunley family go through several changes and fall into decline.
However, the foundation of the Dunley family is still here. Sterling Dunley still has grand ambitions. The
lord once evaluated Sterling as having the potential of a monarch.â
Upon hearing this, Philip frowned. It turned out that the Dunley family had such origins.
They were even once on par with the Clarke family. No wonder Moses Dunley knew some things he did
not back then. It seemed that he had underestimated the Dunley family of Charbury.
This was no different from the ancient feudal lords.
âWhat about Spencer? What is this person like?â Philip asked.
Maia frowned and said with a tense breath, âYoung Master, thereâs not much information about Spencer
Dunley in Charbury, only a few words here and there. Based on the news received so far, Spencer was
the mastermind and implementer of that coup dâétat. Heâs a refined person but employs harsh means.
He was the one who broke the legs of Godfrey Dunley, the eldest son of the Dunley family. Itâs rumored
that Spencer is a literary general and also the secret pawn kept by the Dunley family. Some people
also say that Sterling is just the figure in the forefront while Spencer is the figure behind the scenes. All
in all, Spencer is not an easy person to mess with.â
