The First Heir

He hung up.
Aiden’s entire face was red from the laughter he was holding back. Soon, though, he burst out laughing with Dan and the others,
pointing at Philip and taunting him, “Well, f*ck me sideways! Philip, are you a f*cking idiot? You want to destroy my dad’s
company and mine in ten minutes? You?”
Aiden was so angry that all he could do was laugh.
Had Philip gone absolutely insane?
However, Philip merely smiled calmly and said, “You’ll know soon enough.”
At the same time, George was already getting to work on his end.
It was ridiculously easy for him to take down Splendor Education Group and Stardream Media.
He just had to dig up some dirt on them, right?
Easy peasy.
Soon enough, thanks to George’s machinations, he received files full of Splendor Education Group and Stardream Media’s
dirtiest secrets.
George just gave the information a glance before handing them to his subordinates for follow-up.
After that, he picked up his phone and called his young master. “It’s all done, Young Master. You just have to turn on the
television now if you want to see it.”
At the same time, Philip asked Javier to turn the TV behind the large projector in the restaurant lobby to the news channels.
Aiden did not quite understand what was happening here.
However, he had a vague sixth sense that instilled in him a premonition of danger.
Soon enough, he heard the hostess’s voice coming from the TV. “Breaking news, it has been reported that there was a child
sexual assault case at Periwinkle Star Preschool, one of the local preschools under Splendor Education Group. The principal
and other related persons-in-charge have been arrested. The police investigations are underway...”

When they reported that piece of news, Aiden’s face turned green!
How did this happen?
Did they not shut down this incident a week ago?
Why was it suddenly exposed now?
It was even being reported on the largest news channel in Riverdale!
Who was it? Who was f*cking out for his family’s company?
Immediately after that...
“Breaking news! The chairman of Splendor Education Group, Gordon Grant, has tunneled funds multiple times. The police have
already established a special investigation team to raid Splendor Education Group. They will be looking into this thoroughly!”
Boom!
Aiden was so scared that his legs shook and he also lost his balance. His eyes were wide as he stared at the images on the
screen.
No way!
His old man’s tunneling antics had been exposed too!
They were seriously done for this time!
Aiden was properly scared now. He immediately took out his phone and called his father. “Dad, what do we do? What should we
do? It’s even on TV! Hurry up and figure something out, I don’t want to go to jail.”
Gordon roared at him across the phone, “Aiden Grant! Who the f*ck did you offend?! You’ve destroyed our entire family! You’ve
destroyed us! Do you understand?!”
Aiden was stunned, his brain buzzing.
He instantly raised his head and looked at Philip. The latter looked calm and even wore a small smile.
Impossible.

There was no way this was Philip’s doing. He was a useless piece of trash. He could never do something this considerable.
“Dad, I... I don’t know either. I just... Philip Clarke, he...” Aiden was clearly panicked now, his words tumbling all over the place.
Just then...
“Breaking news, Stardream Media, founded by Aiden Grant, the son of Splendor Education Group’s chairman, Gordon Grant,
has been accused of having unspoken rules and casting couch antics. A combined special forces team has already arrested the
related employees at the company, and they are now urgently seeking the CEO, Aiden Grant...”
Smack!
Aiden’s phone fell from his phone and onto the floor. When he heard that news, his brain simply stopped working. His knees
gave way under him and he fell onto the floor, his eyes losing focus and his body trembling.
It was over. It was all over.
As for Dan and the others, they had made a run for it the moment they saw things going south.
Philip looked down at Aiden coolly, saying, “I told you I’d make you regret it. A punishment of this extent is not unreasonable, is
it? Spend the rest of your life making up for your sins in prison.”
Aiden was terrified. He immediately pounced at Philip and hugged his leg, tears pouring down his face as he begged, “Brother
Clarke, Brother Clarke! I’m begging you, spare me! I was wrong, I’m sorry, I really am! I won’t do anything like that again! Please,
spare me! I don’t want to be arrested, I don’t want to go to jail. Just spare me and I’ll do anything.”
As he said that, Aiden fell to his knees and kowtowed repeatedly, knocking his head against the floor until it bled!
In the face of Aiden’s howls and pleas, Philip simply walked past him perfectly calmly.
Javier later called the police. Within ten minutes, Aiden was escorted out of the back door and into the police car.
Philip did not feel an ounce of mercy when he saw Aiden being taken away.
Aiden deserved every bit of this.

Outside the door, Wynn had been waiting in the cold wind for more than ten minutes. She was worried about Philip, her heart
racing for some reason.
When Wynn saw Philip walking out of the restaurant safely in one piece, she immediately pounced at Philip and threw her arms
around him, hugging him tightly. “Thank goodness you’re okay.”
Philip blinked, and then the corners of his lips rose. He patted her back and said, “I’m fine.”
Wynn let go of him and gave him an angry look. “Where’s Aiden? How did you settle your fight? Also, why did Mr. Morris call you
Mr. Clarke? He was the one who gave my dad that good wine and membership card. Was the Mr. Clarke he mentioned back
then you?”
Wynn asked several questions in close succession, the desire in her eyes burning strongly. Was it him?
Philip paused for a moment, patting her head and saying with a gentle smile, “Wynn, you always wanted to know what my
parents do, right? What my family used to do? I’ll tell you right now.”
