Chapter 2064
The First Heir
Salem smiled and said, âAll of you have been used by Philip. To be precise, weâre Philipâs pawns. After
all the trouble yesterday, everyoneâs eyes are now on the branch family and Philip. If anything happens
to Philip from now on, everyone will suspect the branch family. When the time comes, even if we didnât
do it, itâll become our doing. So, do you still want to make a move against Philip?â
âThisâ¦â
Instantly, everyone was speechless. When they thought about it carefully, it was true.
âDamn it! That brat is actually using us as pawns and shields!â
Desmond was not a fool and instantly figured it out. Not only could the branch family not make a move
against Philip, but they even had to try to protect him now.
That was because now everyone knew that the conflict between the branch family and Philip had
escalated to the point that it could not be resolved.
If an interested party used this to attack Philip and anything happened to him, everyoneâs eyes would
be focused on the branch family.
Silence!
The entire memorial hall was silent.
Wade clenched his fist very reluctantly and roared, âDamn it, that brat is the same as his father!â

Back to Connorâs residence. At this time, Connor and the others had been released by Philip. In the
hall, Connor was sitting on the sofa and leaning on his walking cane with an angry expression on his
face. Around him, Wade, Salem, Hansel, and the others were standing.
âConnor, what should we do about this? Philip has used all of us,â Wade asked.
Connor coughed lightly. He caught a cold in the cargo hold of the cruise ship.
He said, âDonât worry about this matter first. As Salem said, the branch family has become the target in
everyoneâs eyes. Even the slightest movement will be exploited.â
âAre we going to just forget about it, then?â Hansel said indignantly.
Connor shook his head and said with a sigh, âWeâre to blame for underestimating Philipâs wisdom and
schemes. This incident can be regarded as a lesson for all of us. Letâs settle down for the time being.
Two days later, Philip will return to the island to pay respects to the ancestors. If possible, we can think
of ways to cause trouble for Philip on that day.â
Everyone perked up at that suggestion.
Yes, paying respects to the ancestors was a big deal. If they could make use of that day and cause
trouble for Philip, that would be great.
âWhat should we do, then?â Wade asked.
Connor pondered and said, âDid you find out everything about Wynn Johnstonâs background like I told
you to?â
Wade immediately replied, âConnor, itâs all done. That b*tch is indeed the surviving child of that couple
from the Lovelace family!â
âGood! In that case, weâll expose Wynnâs background on that day. When the time comes, letâs see how
the main family can defend that b*tch and protect Philip!â
Connor tapped his cane on the ground with a fierce expression on his face.
Meanwhile, inside Leviâs residence, he was currently lying on a soft golden silk bed. He was
surrounded by four graceful maids who were massaging his shoulders and legs.
He was finally home. He had been living like a beggar during this time.
Bang!
He threw the wine glass in his hand heavily on the ground, smashing it to pieces.
âDamn you, Philip Clarke, I wonât let you off!â Levi roared. His face was flushed, and he was obviously
drunk.
At this time, the butler ran in and said, âYoung Master Levi, Young Master Lex requests to see you.â
âLex Clarke? Why does he want to see me?â Levi was taken aback. He frowned, looking unhappy.
