Chapter 154
The First Heir
Back to Philip. After he got out of Juanâs mansion, he got into Theoâs car and drove to Georgeâs place.
âOld Man George, itâs so late. Why are you here?â Philip sat on the soft sofa and savored his wine.
George walked in front of Philip respectfully and bowed. He said, âYoung Master, Iâm sorry. My
mistakes have caused you to suffer unredressed injustice.â
Philip replied indifferently, âOld Man George, donât do this. Itâs nothing. Tell me, whatâs wrong? Why are
you so anxious to see me?â
George pondered for a while and answered deferentially, âYoung Master, Miss Sommerset will be
coming to Riverdale in a few days.â
Clank!
The room plunged into dead silence.
Philipâs wine glass was suspended in the air. After a long while, he placed it on the marble coffee table
that was adorned with gold lining. His face looked glum.
His eyes looked lifeless. He looked as if he had something on his mind.
After a long while, Philip asked while lifting his eyebrow slightly, âWhy is she coming here?â
Chloe Sommerset was a brilliant woman. She was also a proud woman with her own strong views.
She was Philipâs childhood sweetheart.
She was the youngest daughter of Hans Sommerset. The Sommerset family was a big shot in Capital
City. Hans was the third generation of the Sommersets, making Chloe the third young lady of the
family.
She was the most beloved child in the family, which meant that she was spoiled and pampered to no
ends.
âYoung Master, Miss Sommerset still holds a grudge on you for leaving the engagement party back
then without a word. Perhaps she came to Riverdale to ask you for an explanation.â George squinted
his eyes. He could see through this but he refused to reveal the actual facts. He was a sly old fox.
The young master had been a playboy back then. He was responsible for a lot of lost love.
It was as if Miss Sommerset was the one who helped him take care of all of his debt of love back then.
How did she do it?
With money.
However, the young master left without saying a word and it hurt Chloe a lot.
The reason she came to Riverdale this time might not be so simple.
Philip was annoyed. He was remorseful toward Chloe, extremely remorseful.
âI got it. You have to keep this a secret, especially to Wynn, okay?â Philip frowned. There were all kinds
of emotions in his heart.
If Wynn knew that Philip had a fiancée, how would she feel?
Would she ask for a divorce?
Definitely.
He had to hide this from Wynn. Even if he had to explain it to her, he needed to find a good opportunity
to do it.
He did not have the mood to continue sitting here anymore. He got up and left. His face was glum.
George drove Philip to the Old Johnston Manor himself.
âYoung Master, I should go now,â George said respectfully and was about to get into the Bentley.
However, Philip said, âItâs late. You should come in.â
George was stunned. He asked curiously, âIs this okay, Young Master?â
âItâs fine. No one knows you. Plus, I should find an explanation for why I came out. As for the reason,
please come up with one yourself,â Philip said.
After he said that, he led George into the Old Johnston Manor.
George sighed helplessly. He could never understand what his young master was thinking about.
He asked his subordinates to drive the Bentley to another street before following Philip.
At this moment in the Old Johnston Manor, Wynn was crying uncontrollably. Her eyes were red.
âDad, you have to save Philip. He was framed!â
Charles sat on the sofa, his face red from anger. His lips were twitching. âI wonât make this call! Philip
was the one who caused this mess, so he should be the one taking care of it! If he was really framed,
naturally, he would be let out.â
Charles was livid. This was so embarrassing!
How could his son-in-law do something like this!
Martha was also furious. Her face was filled with shame and anger as she roared, âGood-for-nothing!
Scum of a community! He ruined our family name! Wynn, I told you, that spineless coward is not a
good man. You refused to listen to me and insisted on being with him. Now, look at what has
happened. Youâve seen everything. Heâs just a useless bum with the heart of a beast! Go get a divorce
with him tomorrow. You have to do it this time!â
Martha was livid. Her daughter had told them about this the second she got home.
At that moment, Marthaâs face fell.
Her son-in-law was really going to embarrass them to no end!
How would she live if this got into the ears of her neighbors?
She should grasp on this tightly so that she could force her daughter to get a divorce.
Wynn covered her face and wailed.
Her parents refused to help her. What should she do?
At this moment, the doorbell rang.
Martha was furious, so naturally, she was hot-tempered. She shouted, âWhoâs that? You cretin, why are
you ringing my doorbell in the middle of the night?â
