Chapter 1583
The First Heir
Philip left Cirrus Villa and headed back to First Palace. It was getting late, and Riverdale was not
peaceful tonight.
Theo had arranged for people to monitor all of Riverdale. Theo had arranged for people to keep a close
watch on those directors who were involved in the incident with Beacon this time, in case they would be
of use to Philip.
After Philip returned to First Palace, Theo hurried over and said, âMr. Clarke, Martin and Bernard have
privately contacted several members of Beaconâs board of directors for a secret private meeting in the
Hyatt Hotel. Do you want to go over and take a look?â
Philip frowned and asked, âA secret meeting? Have you found out whoâs attending?â
Theo quickly and respectfully handed the information of the people he had looked into to Philip and
said, âItâs all here. These are all the investors who invested in Beacon at the beginning. Theyâre also
members of the companyâs board of directors. However, after investigating their financial transactions, I
found that these people didnât come to invest in Beacon at the beginning. Theyâre backed by a powerful
consortium with the purpose of multi effect integration. Theyâre constantly controlling Beacon as an
individual director shareholder. After theyâve gained a certain amount of equity, they can directly
override Mrs. Clarkeâs right to speak in Beacon.â
After Theo finished speaking, Philipâs gaze fell on the investigation report. His brows furrowed as his
face darkened.
He had not paid attention to the situation in the beginning, but to his surprise, everything was cropping
up now.
Very well, how interesting.
Philip put the information away, got up, and said, âLetâs go and meet Martin and the rest to see what
theyâre really up to.â
âYes, Mr. Clarke, the car is ready for you,â Theo quickly said.
Philip nodded, patted Theo on the shoulder, and said, âYou did a good job in this matter and have not
failed to live up to my expectations of you. When this matter is over, Wynn will go to a quiet place to
wait for the babyâs arrival. Iâll also be accompanying her. At that time, all of Riverdaleâs affairs will be
handed to you. Are you confident?â
Upon hearing this, Theo was taken aback before he said excitedly, âMr. Clarke, this is your promotion
to me. Iâll definitely work hard to live up to your expectations of me.â
Philip smiled and said, âAlright, youâre older than me. Thereâs no need to treat me like this in private.â
After that, Philip walked out.
Theo lagged behind and looked at Philipâs back. Such a young man had such magnitude and
ambitions. Theo suddenly realized that he had made the right decision when he chose Philip back then!
He quickly caught up to Philip in front of him, invited him into the car, and personally drove him to Hyatt
Hotel.
More than ten minutes ago, several luxury cars had stopped in front of Hyatt Hotel. Men and women
with extraordinary identities got down from the cars one after another.
All of them were members of Beacon Groupâs board of directors.
They had gathered together and nodded to each other before walking into the hotel.
Inside the small conference room on the top floor of Hyatt Hotel, Martin and Bernard were talking
quietly about something.
At this moment, there were security guards in black suits both inside and outside the private room.
âMr. Johnston, theyâre here.â At this moment, a security guard walked in and respectfully said to Martin
who was sitting on the sofa.
Martin nodded, got up, and adjusted his suit. Then, he stood there and said, âBring them in.â
Soon, seven or eight board members with extraordinary identities entered the small room.
Martin stretched out his hand, shook hands with all of them, and said with a smile, âIâm really sorry for
inviting all of you here in the middle of the night. I hope you can bear with me.â
All of them took their seats, their faces puzzled and full of doubts.
One of them asked, âMr. Johnston, what the hell is going on? Itâs the middle of the night. I had to get up
from bed when I received your call.â
Martin smiled and said apologetically, âMr. Jenkins and everyone else here, Iâm sorry. If not for the
special circumstances, I wouldnât have called everyone here in such a hurry.â
âWhatâs going on here that you called us out so mysteriously?â
âYes, Mr. Johnston. Just tell us whatâs going on.â
Everyone looked anxious as they chattered.
Martin coughed and said, âI wonât hide it from you. The situation is quite urgent this time, thatâs why I
asked everyone here so late.â
âWhat exactly is the matter? Just say the word and we can decide for you,â one person said loudly.
Martin was silent for a while. Then, he shook his head and said, âPhilip Clarke is back.â
