Chapter 2859
The First Heir
Reed frowned and said with a nod, âWell, Cody Crane was once a famous character with fame no less
than the five marquises. He once had the reputation that the world would tremble under his feet.â
âThe world would tremble under his feet?â Philip frowned.
Reed shook his head and said, âForget it, itâs best if you donât get involved with this person. However,
since your grandfather said so, you can look for him if you really get into any trouble. Maybe you can
get some unexpected results.â
âOkayâ¦â Philip nodded, glanced at the letter in his hand, and said, âIâll leave Fernvale to you, then.â
Reed smiled and said, âI just received an order from the Imperial Preceptor. Heâs ready to make a
move against Fernvale, so Iâm not helping you but simply carrying out his orders. â
âThe Imperial Preceptor wants to make a move against Fernvale?â Philip asked.
Reed said, âYes, he has lost patience with the situation here in Fernvale. Time is running out for those
troublemakers.â
Hearing that, Philip smiled. Then, he left Reedâs room and returned to his room.
At night, after Philip finished his shower, he walked out of the bathroom in a robe while drying his hair.
Suddenly, he saw a woman in his room.
A delicate woman⦠Cynthia Larson?
She was wearing a black lace nightgown and sitting next to the bed. She looked at Philip with seductive
eyes.
âWhy are you here?â Philip was a little awkward.
This atmosphere was not right. Those emotional eyes of Cynthia made him uneasy all over.
Cynthia got up, pounced into Philipâs arms, hugged him, and said, âBe with me tonight. I donât want to
miss anythingâ¦â
Philip was anxious. He tried to push Cynthia away and said, âAre you crazy? Youâre a Larson. We
canâtâ¦â
Cynthia hugged Philip tightly and said, âNo, Iâm not. My father told me that he picked me up from the
outside. I donât have the Larson familyâs bloodline.â
After saying that, Cynthia looked up at Philip with tears in her eyes.
Philip was dumbfounded. Cynthia was actually picked up by Hogan from the outside?
âBut itâs impossible between us!â
Philip pushed Cynthia away. He could not let Wynn down.
Cynthia hugged Philip tightly from behind again and said, âPhilip, I know that Iâve never had a place in
your heart, but my heart is full of you. I once told myself to forget you, but I canât do it at all. Philip,
please, just stay with me tonight. After tonight, Iâll definitely forget you!â
In the end, Cynthia was already crying.
Philip sighed helplessly, turned around, grabbed Cynthia by her shoulders, and said seriously, âCynthia,
I know your feelings, but thereâs no place in my heart for anyone else.â
Cynthia looked at Philipâs serious eyes and laughed. She stumbled two steps back and said, âI know,
and I understand, but I wonât give up. Philip, just answer my question. Donât you like me at all?â
Philip was speechless. He looked at Cynthiaâs crying face and said, âNo, Iâve always regarded you as a
friendâ¦â
Cynthia laughed at herself, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, took a deep breath, and said,
âI see. Thank you for telling me the truth.â
After saying that, Cynthia turned around and ran out of the room.
Philip looked at her back and said helplessly, âActually, youâre more than a friendâ¦â
Fennel stood at the door with his arms crossed. Seeing this scene, he shrugged and said, âDonât you
want to go after her?â
Philip rolled his eyes at him and said, âIâm not that kind of person.â
Fennel said helplessly, âCynthia is quite nice.â
Philip did not answer but asked instead, âWhat about the thing I asked you to do?â
Fennel held a document in his hand and said, âSteven just sent this. Weâve found some information
about the organization that Hannah belongs to.â
