Chapter 369
The First Heir
Philip, on the other hand, was close to bursting in laughter at Samathaâs claim.
Rocker Pharmaceutical, owned by Clarke Group from Capital City.
After all that fuss, it turned out that it was his familyâs enterprise. What the heck was Frank so smug
about?
He wanted nothing more than to tell them this Rocket Pharmaceutical they built their arrogance on, was
his.
âAunt Martha sure is envious of you, Sammy. Your days must be spent in comfort with such a great
husband, right? Unlike my Wynnie over here, what a tragic life sheâs livingâ¦â
Martha made sure to send a few glares at Philip as she spoke, frustration bubbling within her chest.
It was all because of that useless piece of trash!
âRelax, Martha. An opportunity has arisen itself, no? I heard Clarke Group from Capital City invested in
Wynnieâs company, right? Thatâs a billion yuan into the, whatâs the name again? Ah yes, Beacon
Pharmaceutical! Thatâs a lot of money.â
Paula beamed brightly. âWynnie, your mother told me youâve become the chairman at Beacon
Pharmaceutical? That means you have the authority to decide which pharmaceutical company to form
a partnership with, right?â
Then, everybody understood.
Wynn shared a knowing look with Philip.
This was precisely the reason behind the familyâs visit today.
âWhat are you talking about, Sister? Weâre family, itâs only right to help each other in times of need. I
believe our family owes Young Master Clarke of the Clarke Group our appreciation for his terrific
judgment in choosing companies to invest in.â
âAunt Martha, apparently Clarke Group has notified every large pharmaceutical under their name to
come to discuss a partnership with Beacon Pharmaceutical. In fact, Frank over here just happens to be
in charge of the partnership between Beacon and Rocker.â
Samantha could not suppress the pride that threatened to show on her expression as she spoke.
Rubbing his nose, Frank smiled. âNo, no. Itâs not much, really. The partnership will still depend on
whether Wynn decides to form a partnership with us Rocker. Though I can guarantee, itâll not take two
years before Beacon Pharmaceutical will become part of the countryâs top ten pharmaceutical
companies.â
âThank you.â
Wynn smiled. âAs for the partnership, itâs not something I can decide on my own. I must seek the
opinions of other chairmen as well.â
Impatient, Paula blurted, âYou must act quick, Wynnie. All we have to do is form an alliance with our
two families and the one billion yuan will practically be ours.â
One billion yuan!
Marthaâs eyes widened at the prospect of money. She jumped on the bandwagon. âSheâs right, Wynnie.
You have to get it done. Just sign the contract with Frankâs company, we cannot let this lump sum of
money fall into the hands of others.â
Wynnâs head throbbed. That was not how partnerships were formed. It would not happen just because
one party wished it to.
She glanced helplessly at Philip.
Immediately, Philip interrupted. âMom, Aunt Paula, and Frank. I donât think you should rush things like
these. After all, Wynn does not have absolute authority over who the company ends up partnering with.
You guysâ¦â
âShut up!â
âQuiet!â
âWhat makes you think you have the right to speak about this?â Paula scolded, displeased by his
interruption.
Martha reprimanded him as well, âGo prepare dinner and stop interrupting our serious talk.â
That was a billion yuan, there was nothing more serious than that!
The Yates sisters, Martha and Paula, finally had something they could bond over and laugh about.
Samantha joined the chiding and pointed a finger bossily at Philip. âYour husband isnât well versed in
these matters, Wynn. This is a serious topic, one that a dumb f*ck like him has no business in.â
âEnough, you guys. Philip is my husband!â
Wynn was enraged, glaring at the people sitting before her. She turned to whisper at Philip, âGo cook
dinner, Iâll deal with this.â
Philip squeezed Wynnâs hand and sent his wife a gaze akin to a warm security blanket. Standing up, he
left for the kitchen.
Wynn let out a sigh of relief before morphing it into a smile. She turned to speak to Frank. âFrank, I
suppose now that you work at Rocker Pharmaceutical, youâve met this Young Master Clarke from
Clarke Group?â
Wynn had found herself intrigued by this young master. After all, this man invested a billion yuan into
her company but had yet to reveal his true identity to her. The entirety of Riverdale was bustling with
the myths of this man.
He was simply too mysterious.
Frank felt his desire flare as he stared at Wynn. Not only was this woman miles more beautiful than
Samantha, but she also appeared to be a woman of great temperament. What a waste of a gorgeous
and intelligent woman on a piece of trash like Philip Clark.
To preserve whatever good impression Wynn had of him, Frank smiled and lied, âIndeed. Weâve even
had dinner together last time. Young Master Clarke is a very polite man with an aura that demands
respectâ¦â
Hearing him, Martha could not wait any longer to ask, âHow does this Young Master Clarke look like?
How old is he?â
Frank must be a man of substantial skill to share a meal with Young Master Clarke!
Indeed, her useless piece of trash of a son-in-law was no match for him.
Wynn felt impatient as well. Not for any other reason than the pure curiosity of who exactly this
legendary young master was.
Philip was the only one who felt hopeless at the interaction as he watched from the kitchen. Rubbing
his nose, he stared speechlessly at Frank who continued to lie through his teeth.
What a shameless fellow this was. Since when had Frank shared a meal with him?
âHow about we do it this way, Wynn. Iâm meeting Young Master Clarke in a moment anyway, will you
care to join me?â
Frankâs eyes turned into crescent moons as he stared at Wynn, a tint of perverse flashing through his
gaze.
Unaware, Wynn answered after giving it some thought, âSure.â
Philip felt frantic. Just what was Frank plotting?
