Chapter 542
The First Heir
Meanwhile, Philip and Wynn arrived at the hospital, where they treated their wounds.
Wynn was very worried. Looking at Philip, she asked, âDid those men say that you lost access to the
family funds?â
In other words, her husband was now penniless and broke, right?
Wynn was worried that Philip would do something irrational as a result.
Philip held Wynnâs soft little hand and said with a gentle smile, âItâs alright, donât worry. At the worst,
weâll just start over. We made it this far, havenât we? I can solve any problem as long as I have you.â
Wynn smiled, tears in her eyes. Her heart was full as she leaned into Philipâs chest, saying, âIf it really
comes down to that, honey, Iâll resign from the company, and we can move out of the villa. I think my
mom has some money too, so we can buy another house and start a small breakfast shop. How does
that sound?â
Philip hugged Wynn and nodded. âSure, sounds good.â
âDonât worry, honey, weâll be fine.
âIâll sweep away every obstacle in your path.
âEven without the support of the Clarkes, I am far from good-for-nothing trash.â
The next day.
Wynn went to work, while Philip went to the largest hotel in Riverdale.
In the presidential suite.
Philip met Buffer.
Last night, Philip had issued Buffer an emergency summons.
Buffer did not come to Riverdale for the Yates family fiasco last time because of Jessâs choice.
When he saw Philip this time, Buffer looked quite excited. He held his arms out wide and gave Philip a
big hug, saying, âOh, my dear Master Clarke! Iâm so glad to finally see you!â
Philip smiled and went straight to the point. âI want to activate all of the resources youâve arranged in
this country over the years, Buffer.â
âAll of them?â
Buffer looked at Philip in confusion.
âAll of them.â
Philip repeated.
Buffer thought it over and said with some hesitation, âMy dear Master Clarke, I am your personal butler,
and you are the only reason I managed to make it big in the finance world. I will naturally heed your
every order. Nevertheless, I must remind you that itâs not time to activate all your resources here yet. It
will be detrimental to your master plan. Are you certain?â
âI am!â
Philip said in all seriousness.
As long as it was for Wynn, he could do anything. He would even give her the world if she wanted it!
After so many years of preparation, it was time for him to show his hand!
Upon leaving the presidential suite, Philip made a beeline for Beacon.
Wynn was in the conference room right now, faced with a terrible headache. She was being confronted
by all sides.
The members of the company board were all here. Led by the Michaels, they were pushing her to
immediately announce the distribution of profits for the new drug.
Blake took the main seat, sitting there nonchalantly as he looked at Wynn, who was trembling with
rage. He scoffed, âYou have to give me a proper answer today, Madam Johnston. All our clients have
suspended their contracts and our producers have stopped production as well. Right now, Beacon is
sitting on a very short fuse.â
He did not even bother veiling his threat.
âThatâs right, Madam Johnston, everyoneâs waiting for your decision.â
âHmph, sheâs nothing more than a mascot. We only nominated her back then to be our puppet. Do you
really think she can save the company?â
âSheâs just like her husband, theyâre both trash! Resign! Not everyone can be the chairperson willy-nilly,
you know.â
Suddenly, the members of the board were all taunting her, their words sharp and ruthless.
Wynnâs body was shaking. Right now, she was isolated and on her own amidst the rain of insults.
âSorry, everyone, but weâre coming up with a plan right now. Trust me, there will soon be new clients
and producers for us. Miss Cain is negotiating new contracts as we speak.â
Wynn tried to explain with a smile.
However, all she received in return were cool looks of disbelief.
Blake harrumphed. âStop trying to lie through your teeth, Madam Johnston. The Capital City Clarke
Groupâs investments have been frozen as well, and the company has completely halted in its tracks. If
Michaels Corp pulls out as well, Beacon is done for. As for you, Wynn Johnston, youâll be swamped in
court cases and might even end up in jail. Donât you know?â
Wynn was extremely agitated right now, but she had to tolerate it. Her eyes moist, she bowed her head
and said, âPlease donât pull out now, Mr. Michaels. Youâre a part of Beacon as well, and we should be
working together. Trust me, as long as we present a united front, we will definitely be able to get
through this crisis.â
âIn that case, please beg me on your knees, Madam Johnston,â Blake suddenly said coldly.
All the older men in the conference
