Chapter 374
The First Heir
Ronald exploded like a volcano, showing just how intimidating he could be!
He glared at his son and jabbed a finger at his nose, âYou useless, useless son! How dare you lie
through your teeth like that? When have I ever helped young Wynn here?â
Joel was stunned. He looked at his father in confusion.
What was wrong with the old man? Why was he turning on his son?
Wynn was quite disappointed right now. Joel, who was once sunny and bright, had changed
completely!
He had become so two-faced and fake!
âWhat are you saying, Dad? Didnât you help Wynnie that time? I called you and you said you would
assign someone to it. You said you could handle it.â
Joel frowned deeply and forced the lie through, but he was getting a bad feeling about this.
âNonsense! When have I ever said that?â
Ronald was properly furious now. âI just said I would have someone look at it. When did I ever say that
I could solve it?â
The air turned tense.
âWhat on earth is happening here? Please tell me honestly, Joel Harris. Did or did you not help my
company?â
Wynn was frosty now, her expression hard and her tone stern.
âDonât be mad, Wynnie. Maybe my dad forgot, or maybe someone down the line didnât inform him.â
Joel understood what was happening now, but he still tried to explain it away.
Smack!
There was a loud and solid slap!
Ronaldâs entire body shook in fury. His face was bright red as he slapped Joel viciously, roaring, âStop
lying! You useless, useless son, how could you take credit for something like that?!â
Ronald was going to explode with rage!
He had sent someone to survey the situation, but by the time he did, he realized that someone else
had solved Beacon Pharmaceuticalâs crisis.
Someone had paid off the six hundred million in damages, just like that!
That was an astronomical sum!
It was only after he secretly investigated the matter that he found out Beaconâs savior was a man
named Clarke.
Who could that man be?
Ronald had plenty of experience in Riverdale, so he only had to search a bit to find out. This man
named Clarke was none other than the main character of the party tonight, Master Clarke from Capital
Cityâs Clarke Group!
That was Master Clarke, for godâs sake!
No matter how bold Ronald might be, he would never dare to take credit for Master Clarkeâs actions.
However, his useless son did just that!
If Master Clarke found out about that, how could Ronald still survive in Riverdale?
âDad! How could you hit me?â
Joel was stunned. He held his cheek and looked at his father in disbelief.
âWhy shouldnât I hit you? Explain everything to Wynn, right now!â
Ronald hated his stupid son to the core right now. The boyâs lust had taken over his sanity.
Ronald knew that his son was very much obsessed with Wynn Johnston, but this was a line he should
never have crossed!
That was Master Clarke they were talking about! The man could bankrupt Harris Enterprise with a
word!
Mr. Cash was here now too, yet Joel still the nerve to deny their accusations and defend his lie!
Was he suicidal?!
âPlease, hear me out, Wynnie.â
Joel turned to look at Wynn, whose expression was cold. He tried to explain.
âThatâs enough!â
Wynn said angrily, clenching her delicate fists. She glared at Joel and said, âDo you enjoy tricking me,
Joel Harris?â
âNo, Wynnie, this is⦠I can explain.â Joel panicked now.
âForget it, stop talking to me. I donât want to see you anymore, and never contact me again. I donât want
my husband misunderstanding anything.â
Wynn shot him down coolly and then turned to leave, holding up her long dress.
Behind her, Joel still wanted to explain, but Ronald glared at him and barked, âUseless boy!â
As the others left, Ronald looked at his son icily and said with fury, âStand straight! Iâm asking you this
one more time, why did you impersonate Beaconâs savior? Do you have any idea who was the one
who helped Wynn Johnston?â
Joel was quite unhappy. His father had hit him in front of so many people, embarrassing him and
ticking Wynn off as well.
âIt was Master Clarke! The VIP of the party tonight, the young master of Clarke Group!â Ronald ranted
on by himself, âYou better keep your hands to yourself. If you get me in trouble like that again, Iâll send
you right back overseas!â
âGot it, Dad,â Joel mumbled, his head hanging low.
âGet out of my sight!â
Joel left his father and immediately set out to search for Wynn.
He did not at all feel pleased about things, though. So it was Master Clarke who helped Wynn back
then.
Since when did Wynn know Master Clarke?
Could he really be Philip�
