Chapter 2219

Seeing Wynn’s bewildered expression, Philip walked over and asked softly, “What’s wrong?”

Wynn’s jaw dropped open as she stared at Philip’s shoulder, which was fine. She asked, “What are you

playing at?”

Philip smiled and said, “Don’t worry, this is just an act by the grand elder and me to give an explanation

to the branch family.”

“The grand elder actually agreed to put on this act with you?” Wynn found it difficult to understand.

How much did the grand elder dote on Philip to agree to put on a show with him?

Was this not the same as deceiving the entire branch family?

Philip smiled and looked at Mila, who was blinking her big puzzled eyes and had a face full of question

marks. He reached out to hug her and said, “Mila, don’t cry. I’m fine. I was just acting with the grand

elder.”

Mila nodded and rubbed her red eyes.

Philip looked at Wynn and saw that she still could not figure it out, so he said, “Wynnie, don‘ I worry too

much. I have everything under control. I can’t tell you about everything yet. You just need to know that

with me around, no one can bully you and Mila.”

Wynn nodded, glared a little angrily at Philip, and said, “What will you do when you go out later?”

Philip smiled and said, “Carry on with the pretense.”

Wynn rolled her eyes at him.

After ten minutes or so, Philip returned to the entrance of the memorial hall with the help of the

servants, his face looking pale.

When the people of the branch family saw Philip‘s appearance at this moment and how Wynn and

Mila’s eyes were red from crying, they were filled with gloating sneers. It seemed that Philip was

seriously injured.

The grand elder was really heavy-handed just now.

Wade looked sideways at Philip, who stood at the side with the help of the servants. He said mockingly,

“Philip boy, this is just the beginning. There’s more to come later. If you know what’s good for you, you

should quickly withdraw from this ancestor commemoration ceremony and give up your identity as the

heir. This way, it’ll be better for you.”

Philip sneered and said, “Granduncle Wade, you’d better give up such wishful thinking.”

Wade snorted and said, “Let’s wait and see, then!”

On this side, Tim and Horace looked at Philip and asked in low voices, “How are you doing?”

Philip’s eyes flickered as he said with a nod, “It’s not a big deal. I can handle it.”

Tim nodded without saying anything.

At this moment, the grand elder stood on the steps and looked at the Clarke family members below. He

said with clarity, “Today is the day for the Clarke family to open the door to the memorial hall and pay

respects to our ancestors. When entering the memorial hall, all members of the Clarke family are not

allowed to make loud noises, look around, or hold grudges against each other. Otherwise, one will be

expelled as per the family rules and never be accepted into the family again!”

“Yes!”

After the grand elder finished speaking, all members of the Clarke family below bowed their heads and

responded. Then, the grand elder turned around to face the red door and shouted, “Open the memorial

hall.”

Creak…

The red door of the memorial hall was slowly opened under the hefty push from eight guards. A

desolate chill greeted them.

All Clarke family members raised their heads at this moment and looked into the memorial hall. In that

instant, all of them were shocked!

That was because two figures were standing inside the hall.
