Chapter 775
The First Heir
âHello, are you Hannah Clarke?â
Wynn stood up and asked doubtfully as she shook hands with the other person.
The woman smiled brightly, shook her head, and said, âIâm her friend. Something urgent came up and
she was unable to make it. This is something she told me to give you.â
While speaking, the woman took out a USB flash drive from her bag and handed it to Wynn. Then, she
leaned over slightly and said, âShe said that everything you want to know is in there. You may decide if
you want to look at it.â
With that said, the woman smiled slightly and turned to leave.
Wynn was stunned. She held the flash drive in her hand and was speechless for a while.
She had to make the decision?
Just when she was still in a daze, a sudden shout brought her back to her senses.
âWynnie, what are you doing here?â
At this moment, Philip trotted over anxiously. He glanced around but saw no one else.
Had they met already?
Maybe they had not.
âOh, Iâm meeting someone. Whatâs up?â
Wynn quickly concealed the flash drive in her hand and forced a smile from the corners of her mouth.
She asked calmly, âArenât you at the office? Why are you here suddenly?â
Philip smiled and said calmly, âOh, the problem is solved. I happened to pass by and saw you here.
âWell, who are you meeting? Where is that person?â Philip asked with a half-smile.
Wynn raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, âShe didnât come. Something came up. Why are you
so interested in my friend?â
It was a test.
Philip chuckled and said, âNo, Iâm just asking. Letâs go, Iâll take you home.â
âOkay.â
Wynn did not pursue the topic and followed Philip out of the café.
On the way back, the two of them had their own misgivings and tried to probe information out of the
other party.
An invisible rift had developed between the two unknowingly.
They returned to the villa without saying anything. Wynn went upstairs first as she was a little tired.
Philip followed after her. When he passed by the living room, he found Martha, Amelia, and Bernard
discussing something.
Charles sat on the side and did not seem to be involved.
Seeing that Philip had returned, Martha immediately sat up and composed herself. She coughed lightly.
Amelia received her signal and immediately stood up and said with a smile, âPhilip, youâre home. Come
over here, Iâve something to discuss with you.â
Philip put his hands in his pockets, glanced at the four people, and asked indifferently, âWhatâs the
matter?â
Amelia pulled Philip over and exchanged a few glances with Martha and Bernard. Then, she said,
âPhilip, Lynn has just graduated. Do you think you can get her a position in Wynnâs company? Just a
managerial position in any department will do. Itâll be good training for her.â
Amelia had been thinking about this for several days.
No matter what, even if she had to use force, she needed to get Wynn and Philip to agree.
Philip frowned, the expression on his face turning cold.
A managerial position in any department?
Amelia really dared to think about it.
âI canât decide on this matter. Besides, Lynn just graduated and you want her to be a manager in the
company? Impossible.â
Philip got up and turned to leave.
Amelia quickly grabbed hold of Philip and said, âOh, Philip, whatâs so difficult? Just talk to Wynnie about
it. Anything can be learned. Lynn is a smart and capable kid. She can pick up the skills in no time. Just
think of it as doing me a favor, okay?â
Amelia spoke humbly. She knew this matter could not be done without Philip.
With a twist of expression, Philip glanced at Martha who was sitting on the sofa and asked, âDid you
come up with this?â
Martha did not agree or deny but said instead, âWhether I came up with the idea or not, weâre a family.
Lynn calls you her brother-in-law. Will you refuse to help her? Do you really expect us to beg you for
help?â
Martha was already very upset with Philip over the matter concerning the villa.
Philip was really getting from bad to worse. Did he really expect her to beg him for help?
âWhy donât you ask Wynn about it then?â
Philipâs face turned grim. He looked at all of them and said, âI wonât agree to this matter. Lynn just
graduated. She can go to the company for an internship. Iâll let Wynn arrange it. As for a department
manager position, donât even think about it!â
What sort of people were these? They really thought Beacon belonged to them so they could do as
they pleased?
Amelia immediately made eyes at Bernard when she heard that.
Just then, Bernard stood up and said to Philip sternly, âPhilip, Iâm your third uncle after all. Donât you
think youâre being disrespectful when you talk to your mother-in-law and third aunt in that way? Do you
still think of us as your elders?
âYouâre nothing but a live-in son-in-law of the Johnston family. What right do you have to act all high
and mighty here? You donât have a choice in this matter!â
Bernard finally had the chance to act like a real man. His face turned different shades of colors as he
glared at Philip.
Amelia kept winking at him, complimenting him for being a man.
