Chapter 2067
The First Heir
In the residence living room, Philip sat on the sofa and looked at Lex who was sitting on the side. He
smiled and asked, âWhy did you come to see me?â
Lex took a sip of the tea made by the servant and placed the teacup on the table. With a smile, he said,
âIâm here to admire the mighty air of the young master of the main family.â
Philip chuckled with a subtle glint in his eyes and said, âHurry up and state your business. I have to
accompany my wife out later.â
Lex nodded and said directly, âI want to cooperate with you.â
âCooperate?â
Philip chuckled and asked, âHave you mentioned this to Levi?â
Hearing this, Lex raised his brows slightly, nodded, and said with a smile, âI have, and he has agreed to
it.â
âIn that case, by coming here to talk to me, are you going to be the middleman who puts on a show just
so you can sit back and watch the two of us fight while waiting to reap the benefits?â
Philip asked smilingly as the look on his face gradually darkened.
Lex nodded, pursed his lips, and said, âSure enough, I canât hide anything from you. As expected of the
heir of the main family. Your wisdom is indeed not comparable to mine or Leviâs.â
Philip said, âHmmm⦠Stop your flattery. Since you dare to come and talk to me about cooperation, it
means that you know what I want and the consequences of doing so. Iâm really curious to find out what
makes you so daring to come and talk to me about cooperation. Arenât you worried that Levi will find
out and turn against you?â
Lex got up, walked to the side, looked at the jasper colored horn hung on the wall, and said, âPhilip, do
you know that Iâve been enduring for 15 years and living in the branch family for 20 years? All this time,
Iâve kept a low profile. I acted like a wimp and did not care about anything. I pretended not to know
anything. Do you know why I did that?â
Philip pondered and said, âI donât really like to listen to stories. Iâm more interested in the benefits.â
Lex continued, âIâm waiting for an opportunity to seek revenge on the branch family. Back then, my
mother brought me to Arcadia Island and was scorned and despised by everyone in the branch family.
In their opinion, my mother is just a sl*t and Iâm her bastard child. For 15 years, I still remember my
motherâs last words to me the night she was forced to her death by them. She told me to endure and
carry on living.â
âIâve endured it for 20 years, and my motherâs death has haunted me for 15 years! 20 years! Do you
know what itâs like to live in hatred for 20 years under everyoneâs stares and contempt?â
âI want to take revenge on the branch family! I want to seek revenge on those people who forced my
mother to her death! I want all of them to kneel in front of my motherâs tombstone and apologize!â
Lex gritted his teeth and said. Due to his emotions, his whole body began to tremble and his eyes were
scarlet. A raging aura surged out of his body.
Philip was silent as he looked at Lex and said, âSorry, I canât help you.â
After that, Philip got up to leave.
Lex stared at Philipâs departing back and spoke through clenched teeth, âYou can help me! As long as
you help me take the top position of the branch family, in the future, the branch Clarke family will
always be subservient to you, Philip Clarke!â
His words were not loud but resounding.
With his back to Lex, Philip snorted and said, âTo help you seize the top position of the branch family,
Iâll have to see your strength.â
After saying this, Philip stepped away.
Lex stood in the huge empty hall for a few minutes before he turned and left.
After he left, Philip walked out from the back and looked at Lexâs departing back. With a faint smile, he
said, âI hope you wonât let me down.â
