The First Heir

After that icy woman left the meeting room, everyone still could not calm down.
Wynn’s face was burning. She did not even know who that was.
However, it seemed like she knew Philip.
Derrick looked apologetic. He said, “Director Stanley, I’m sorry about that. Um, about our collaboration...”
Director Stanley smiled and tried to soothe the awkwardness. “Of course there’s nothing wrong with the collaboration. We can
just...”
Before he could finish, Director Stanley’s phone rang.
After he answered the call, Director Stanley said a few things before his face fell. “Alright, I got it.”
“What’s wrong, Director Stanley? What’s going on?” Derrick could read the changes in Director Stanley’s face.
Did something happen?
“I’m sorry, Mr. Hall, Miss Johnston. We have to stop this collaboration. I don’t really know the details. I have to go back and
discuss this further with Director Turner. I’m sorry.”
Director Stanley said that and left with his people.
There were now only Derrick and his people in the meeting room. Everyone stood with confusion on their faces.
Naturally, everyone was looking at Wynn deviously.
“Miss Johnston, what’s going on? Do you know that woman?”
Derrick was suppressing his anger. He knew this might have something to do with that woman.
Especially when that woman mentioned that spineless coward, Philip Clarke!
Damn it!
Did Philip get into trouble and cause this collaboration between Beacon and Turner to fail?

Wynn’s face turned cold. She grabbed her bag and controlled her emotions. She bid farewell to Derrick. “I’m sorry, Mr. Hall. I
have to go.”
After she said that, Wynn left the meeting room instantly.
The meeting room started being noisy after she left.
“Mr. Hall, I think there’s an 80% chance that Miss Johnston’s involved in this.”
“This was such a great chance. It was a great opportunity for Beacon to hit the market but it’s all ruined now by Miss Johnston!”
“Who was that woman? She’s so cold and fierce. I’m still scared!”
A few people were discussing it noisily. There was dissatisfaction toward Wynn in their conversations.
Derrick slammed his hand on the table and said, “That’s enough. Shut up now, all of you!”
Derrick’s head was in pain. Wynn was the one who made this happen and she was also the one who destroyed this. There were
some suspicion and disapproval toward her in his heart now.
Back to Philip.
He did not need to go to the office. He left everything to Agnes as he believed in Agnes’ abilities.
For the first time, Wynn’s cousin, Lynn, asked Philip out.
The two of them decided to meet at Game Central. Lynn even brought a few of her friends.
“Philip, why are you only here now?”
When Lynn saw Philip walking over slowly, she ran over to him sweetly and grabbed his arm. She looked obedient and lovable.
Philip could not accept this sudden change. He asked suspiciously, “Why did you ask me here?”
Lynn smiled with her lips pressed together. She said, “To have fun! Come, let me take you to meet my friends.”
Did Lynn only ask him here to have fun? Was it really so simple?
Of course not.

When her friends saw Philip, they immediately gave him looks of disgust and sarcasm.
“Lynn, this is your cowardly brother-in-law? He’s really something else. Is looking homeless a trend now?”
“Lynn, are you joking? He looks like this but you’re saying he can treat us to a whole day here?”
“Never mind, let’s go home. How disappointing. Even I feel embarrassed standing next to someone like that.”
They started talking one after another. They were all jabbing and criticizing Philip.
Damn, this man looked so wretched.
He was wearing a pair of dirty sport shoes with no brand. His blue sweatshirt was also turning white from frequent washing. He
stood out among the gang.
When Lynn saw that her friends were looking down on Philip, she fought back and said, “What do you know? My brother-in-law
is amazing! Do you know Theo Zander? Even Theo needs to be deferential to my brother-in-law.”
The reason she brought her friends here was to show off.
Lynn was unhappy when she heard them making fun of Philip like that.
Theo Zander?
Her friends looked at each other before laughing while holding their stomachs.
“Lynn, is your brain not functioning?”
“Do you know who Theo Zander is? How would a p*ssy like him know Theo Zander?”
“If he knows Theo Zander, I’ll kneel and call him my grandpa!”
The boys who were dressed stylishly and behaving improperly had mockery and sarcasm on their faces.
People like them who dabbled with gangs would know who Theo was. He was the underground king of Riverdale!
He had more than 100 gathering places and also more than 100 men!
Now Lynn was saying that Philip was one rank above Theo?

Impossible. What a colossal joke!
