Chapter 420
The First Heir
Smack!
Philip slapped Chloeâs hand aside and said icily, âDonât try my patience!â
With that, Philip turned to leave.
However, Chloe scoffed at his back, saying, âDo you know why I invited you here tonight?â
âWhat do you mean?â
Philipâs gaze turned cold. He spun around and glared at Chloe.
Just then, Philipâs phone rang. It was a call from that man.
âSpill it!â
Philip barked harshly, his body tense and his heart pounding.
That call could only mean one thing. Something must have happened to Wynn and Mila.
âYoung Master, the Young Madam and Miss Mila are safe. We just handled one wave of attackers.â
The voice on the other end was that of a cold-blooded man. âThey seem to be some local hooligans.
They were at the hospital entrance, trying to kidnap the Young Madam.â
âUnderstood.â
Philip hung up and stared at Chloe, asking in a low and heavy voice, âDid you send them?â
Chloe knew that her plan had failed. Well, she had only wanted to teach Wynn a lesson.
She raised her chin arrogantly, undaunted by his accusation as she said coolly, âThatâs right. I wanted
to give her a taste of the pain Iâve suffered the past few years. I hate her, and I also hate you!â
Smack!
Philip slapped her, murderous intent washing off him in waves. âDonât force my hand, Chloe
Sommerset!â
She had crossed the line!
Why did she have to cross the line?!
Philipâs heart was ice-cold and heavy as a stone right now.
Anyone who crossed the line had to be exterminated, no exceptions! That included Chloe Sommerset!
âForce your hand? Like how youâve forced my hand?â
Chloe held her cheek, tears welling up in her eyes.
Philip had hit her.
He did not want anything more to do with her, so he warned her solemnly, âNever do that again! Iâll tell
your family to take you home!â
With that, he turned and ran out of the club in a hurry.
Chloe stood alone in the large hall before slowly crouching down, covering her face with her hands and
weeping bitterly.
Just then, a middle-aged man walked toward her. He was wearing a white traditional outfit, and he
shook his head when he saw Chloe. âWhy must you torment yourself so, Chloe?â
He was Hans Sommerset, the head of the Sommersets.
He was a man of exalted status.
Right now, as her father, his heart bled to see his daughter in such pain.
Regardless, he did not dare to lift a finger against Master Clarke.
Even the Sommersets, the strongest family in Capital City, was nothing in that manâs eyes.
It was all thanks to that man that the Sommersets could only climb up from second-tier fame to the top
of the pyramid, even becoming the number one family in Capital City.
Hans did not dare to fight Philip because he carried the weight of the entire family on his shoulders.
He also could not let the family go down the road of destruction on the back of his daughterâs whims.
âCome home with me tomorrow,â Hans said, shaking his head helplessly.
Back on Philipâs end, he rushed back to the hospital and found Wynn by Milaâs side.
The mother and daughter were sleeping peacefully together, pretty as a picture.
Philipâs heart finally settled back into his chest.
He quietly walked to the bed and sat on the edge, looking at Wynn and their daughter, both fast asleep.
âSorry Iâm late,â Philip whispered.
He was very conflicted right now, several emotions warring in his heart as past memories flooded his
mind.
All he wanted was to protect Wynn and their daughter from the shadows.
After seven long years, there was much he had forgotten.
He had kept his identity a secret all this time to protect Wynn and Mila.
Even after three years of taking every insult under the sun, he never said a word about his real identity.
âJust wait a little longer. Iâll take you and Mila home very soon now.â
Philip bent over and planted a kiss on Wynnâs fair forehead, plus another on Milaâs little cheek.
After that, he turned and walked out of the hospital room, coming to a corner near the hospital
entrance.
Soon, a man walked out of the shadows, drawling, âWhy donât you tell the Young Madam who you are,
Young Master?â
Philip lit a cigarette and threw the man another. âI know what Iâm doing. Keep an eye on the Denvers
from Golden City for a bit.â
âYessir.â The man in the shadows blew out a mouthful of smoke and suddenly said with emotion, âItâs
been seven years, huh? Iâm actually rather looking forward to it. So, Young Master, when do you plan
on taking down the Wallis family?â
