Chapter 2209
The First Heir
As soon as Wade spoke these words, the entire small square became quiet. All members of the branch
family looked at the members of the main family with hostile eyes.
Hansel added, âWade, I think Philip simply doesnât take the Clarke family seriously, let alone the
ancestors! For a guy like that, he made the right decision to leave the Clarke family seven years ago!
By coming back now, heâs a disgrace to us! He even brought home some cheap trash from outside,
which is even more shameful!â
As Hansel said this, the members of the branch family started making comments filled with ridicule and
sarcasm once more.
âThatâs right! Philip is not worthy to appear at the ancestor commemoration ceremony! In my opinion, a
wrongdoer like him should be kicked out of the family!â
âI heard that he broke Young Master Leviâs legs yesterday. Such a brutal man should be imprisoned in
the dungeon and subjected to the Clarke familyâs 108 tortures!â
âWhat? He broke Young Master Leviâs legs? Damn it! Such a thug should kneel at the memorial hall
and confess his sins!â
For a while, everyone in the branch family was angry and their eyes shot daggers at the people of the
main family.
The people of the main family were also very angry!
âHmph! What we do in the main family is not up to the branch family to criticize!â
âThatâs right! That arrogant Levi Clarke deserved to have his legs broken by Young Master Philip! How
dare he disrespect Young Madam? Even if he was killed, it wouldnât be enough to make amends!â
âWe fully support what Young Master Philip does! If you have the guts, why donât you, the branch
family, come and make trouble? Do you think weâre afraid of you?!â
In a flash, the juniors of the main family started yelling at the juniors of the branch family. A loud fiasco
immediately overtook the small square. In the end, Horace shouted grimly, âEnough! Stop it! What day
is it today? We are here to pay respects to our ancestors! The people of the main family should at least
know how to be polite and courteous, so be quiet!â
With a command from Horace, the dozens of family members behind him shut their mouths resentfully
and glared at the branch family on the opposite side. The expressions of the people of the branch
family also looked very bad at this moment.
They were not stupid and could naturally discern the meaning of Horaceâs words just now.
What did it mean that the people of the main family knew how to be polite and courteous?
Was it not the same as saying the people of the branch family did not know how to be polite and
courteous?
Wade said angrily, âHorace Clarke, stop playing word games! There are still five minutes left before the
ancestor commemoration ceremony begins and Philip hasnât shown up yet! What, is he not coming?
Thatâs okay. Let him give up the position of the heir of the Clarke family and give it to the branch family.
The people of the branch family are not unreasonable. As long as he voluntarily gives up the position of
heir, what happened in the past will all be forgiven!â
With that said, the small square was quiet. The people of the branch family sneered and stared
unkindly at the people of the main family.
Horaceâs face darkened as he said with a faint smile, âWade, I think you should be more concerned
about other things. The position of heir is not something you can change at will by opening your
mouth.â
Wade snorted and said, âHorace, even if you donât agree now, youâll still have to agree when you enter
the memorial hall later. Therefore, Iâm just giving you a reminder and a choice to avoid a nasty fight
between the main and branch families when we go in later. After all, we come from the same family, so
why should we be enemies?â
After saying that, Wade laughed and felt gratified.
âHehe, I think Master Wade is right. This is a good option given by our branch family. It wonât be good if
we fight openly.â
Behind Wade, an old man in his 50s said with a sneer on his face.
âExactly! People of the main family should think about it carefully.â
The others also followed suit and agreed.
