Chapter 167
The First Heir
When he heard Wynnâs voice, Philipâs face fell. He stared at Chloe intensely.
Chloe looked at Philip with a fake smile and said, âHello, Wynn. Iâm Chloe.â
There was silence on the other end of the phone.
âHow can I help you?â Wynn was a woman with a temper. It was obvious that she was mad from her
cold tone.
Chloe did not answer immediately. She looked at Philip and said softly, âIf Wynn knows who you are,
how will she react? Have you ever thought about it?â
Philip clenched his fists, his eyes heated. His low voice sounded like the growl of a beast. He said,
âChloe Sommerset, youâre playing with fire.â
Philip was nervous, but at the same time, he was furious.
He did not like to be threatened!
âPhilip, do you not understand me? The more exciting a game is, the more Iâll like it.â Chloe placed her
hand under her chin and looked at him provocatively.
Then, she said into the phone, âWynn, what kind of man do you think Philip is?â
What kind of man Philip was?
Wynn was taken aback. She answered without even thinking, âMiss Sommerset, I donât even know you.
If youâre here because of my husband, then we can talk face to face. Iâll try my best to fulfill whatever
conditions you want. However, I must warn you not to break Philip and me apart.â
This was a warning from Wynn. Of course, Chloe did not expect her to answer like this.
Her expression froze as she knitted her beautiful eyebrows together. She looked arrogant and icy.
Chloe said coldly, âWynn, I donât think you know your husband that well. Have you ever looked into his
past? Do you know about his family background?â
âWhat do you mean?â Wynn was puzzled. She did not understand what Chloe was talking about.
She was right. Wynn did not understand Philip all that much. Wynn did not know what Philip was like
before university. She had only heard stories from Philip himself. Plus, she had never met those friends
Philip mentioned.
She only knew recently what Philipâs family was like and what jobs his parents had.
Did Philip really run away from home as he said?
Wynn was confused. Her voice became less confident.
âIf you want to know about Philipâs past, come to Northern Sky Western Restaurant,â Chloe said calmly.
Her eyes were glued on Philip the entire time.
There was silence on the other end of the phone. Then, Wynn replied, âOkay.â
After she hung up, Chloe stood proudly in front of Philip. She looked pleased as she had managed to
get away with her cunning plans. She said, âYou donât look nervous at all.â
Philip frowned and asked, âWhat are you trying to do?â
He did not take action just now. He was waiting for Chloe.
If she exposed him through the phone, then he would not hesitate to take action to stop this from
happening.
Chloe smirked and reached out a fair hand. She glided her hand across Philipâs resolute face. Her eyes
were filled with love and admiration. She said, âItâs simple. Have dinner with me tonight. We havenât
had dinner together in seven years.â
Have dinner with her?
Philip was enraged.
âImpossible! Youâre extorting me!â
Chloe smiled and said, âItâs up to you. Plus, itâs just dinner. Why are you so nervous? Why? Are you
scared that your wife might see us together?â
Chloe did not continue talking. She waited for Philip to answer her.
After a while, Philip replied, âAlright, Iâll go, but I must warn you. If you expose anything about me to
Wynn, Iâll make you regret this.â
Philip turned around and left angrily after he said that.
Chloe stood in the office alone. She watched as Philip left. Her heart started throbbing with pain.
âWhy?
âWhy do you only care about that b*tch?
âI canât even compare to her?â
When he got back to the hospital, Philip ran into Wynn in front of the hospital room.
Wynn glanced at Philip coldly and the latter only smiled at her before moving out of the way.
They looked at each other but did not say anything.
Wynn did not tell Philip about the phone call. She wanted to solve this by herself.
Philip did not ask as well. They just stayed in silence and started giving each other the silent treatment.
Philip drove Wynn back in the evening. Wynn looked exhausted. She said, âIâll be staying with my mom
for a few days.â
âWhy are you going there?â Philip was worried.
Wynn did not say anything. She turned her head around and did not pay attention to Philip.
Philip was helpless.
It was not that he did not want to tell her. He just did not know how to start the conversation.
Should he tell Wynn his real identity? Could she accept this?
Was she ready to become the richest madam in the world?
âWynn, trust me. Thereâs nothing between me and Chloe,â Philip said suddenly.
However, Wynn did not say anything. Her face was cold, and her eyes were shut. It was as if she did
not want to pay attention to him.
When they got to the Old Johnston Manor, the two got out of the car simultaneously. Philip wanted to
help Wynn with her bag but she refused.
âMom, Iâll be staying here for a few days.â Wynn entered the house and changed her shoes. Then, she
went straight into her room and slammed the door.
Martha stood in the living room in confusion. She turned her head, and her face fell. She looked at
Philip and asked, âDid you bully her?â
Wynn did not look like she was in the right mind. Plus, she even wanted to stay here for a few days.
She must have fought with Philip.
Alright, very good!
She had been worried that she would not have a chance to make them file for divorce, but now, here it
was.
