Chapter 581
The First Heir
Philip was stunned.
âThis friend is sitting right next to you. Itâs your husband.â
âOh, in due time. Heâs overseas.â
Philip smiled awkwardly and said.
Wynn nodded and did not say anything.
The Riverdale business dinner party would be held in the presidential banquet hall of Shangri-La Hotel
tonight. All of the top 100 well-known leaders in different industries would be there.
All of the rich and famous entrepreneurs of the pharmaceutical industry from Riverdale would be at the
party tonight. All of them had net worths of over 100 million.
A lot of important entrepreneurs from other cities had been invited here.
The top ten representatives of the pharmaceutical industry were all invited as well.
Plus, the host of this party, Cynthia Larson, was standing at the entrance welcoming all of the guests
from different industries.
Wynnâs car stopped in front of the red carpet. She was wearing a black strapless and backless gown
while Philip was wearing a neat suit. When they appeared at the entrance of the hall, the reporters and
the other entrepreneurs around them stopped talking at once.
Wynn was beyond gorgeous! She managed to capture their attention completely.
They were the leaders of their respective industries, so they knew who Wynn was. She was the
number one beauty of the pharmaceutical industry in Riverdale. Their female partners could not even
get on her level.
She looked like a pure and untouched goddess who just descended from heaven.
The only woman at the spot who could compare to Wynn was the manager of Shangri-La Hotel,
Cynthia!
Plus, Beacon had gotten a lot of publicity recently, so a lot of people heard about them.
When Cynthia saw Philip next to Wynn, there was puzzlement in her eyes. Then, she walked over with
a smile.
âMadam Johnston, you look so beautiful tonight.â
Cynthiaâs smile was infectious. She knew Wynn from a long time ago, so she was not as courteous to
her.
Wynn smiled and said, âHello Miss Larson, long time no see.â
When Wynn and Cynthia were talking, Philip interrupted. âWhy are you here?â
He had been noticing Cynthia for a long time. She was Melodyâs best friend. He did not expect her to
be the host of this dinner. What a small world!
The most important thing was that she was a Larson.
He had to find a chance to talk to her.
Wynn was curious. She asked, âDo you know each other?â
Philip wanted to reply, but Cynthia was faster than him. She said, âYeah, but weâre not close.â
Oh, this woman was something else. She was so quick to cut ties with him.
Wynn was not bothered. She peered at Philip and said, âLetâs go in.â
Philip smiled when he saw Wynn walking away. He said, âDarling, these women are all holding their
menâs arms. Do you want toâ¦â
Wynn frowned and rolled her eyes at Philip. After contemplating for a bit, she held Philipâs arm. The two
of them walked into the banquet hall together.
Philip was delighted. His wife had finally forgiven him!
When Wynn walked into the banquet hall holding Philipâs arm, everyone in the hall started talking
among themselves.
Wynn was already so stunning that she managed to capture everyoneâs attention. It was only natural
that they would notice Philip as well. They also saw her holding Philipâs arm with a smile on her face.
Immediately, sounds of discussion echoed in the hall.
âWhoâs that man next to Wynn Johnston? Iâve never seen him before. Which young master is that?â
âIâve never seen him before. Sheâs holding his arm, so I guess their relationship is not that simple!â
âAre you guys dumb? Thatâs Wynnâs useless husband! Heâs the one whoâs depending on her!â
âDamn! So itâs him! Gosh, he looks like a decent human being, but heâs reliant on his woman. Pah!â
There was a heated discussion in the hall.
Philip was agitated because he saw a lot of unfriendly eyes looking at him. They were all filled with
auras of death!
Wynn held Philipâs arm and entered the hall. She could hear the discussions clear as day. However,
she was not bothered. The reason she came here tonight was because of Beaconâs new investment
and partner.
Even though all of the well-known entrepreneurs of the pharmaceutical industry were here, she did not
know a lot of them.
Wynn had caused a commotion by bringing her useless husband here.
They did not know Philip. They were not invited to the dinner with Hudson last time.
Even the ones who were invited did not manage to see the face of Young Master Clarke from Clarke
Group in Capital City. In addition to that, they would not even pay attention to Philip.
Philip was just a worthless bug in everyoneâs eyes.
He was the victim of their mocking.
At the end of the day, it was embarrassing that Wynn would bring her useless husband over to an
event like this.
Plus, since DSII was a success, naturally Wynn would be one of the stars of the party. A lot of
entrepreneurs were already plotting against her.
If Blake from the Michaels family was right, this was a wonderful business opportunity.
After a while, a group of people started walking over to Wynn and Philip with glasses in their hands.
Of course, they only wanted to get close to Wynn.
âLong time no see, Madam Johnston. I heard you have some results in your new research. Donât forget
your old friends when youâre successful!â
Wynn nodded and grinned. âOf course.â
âMadam Johnston, I heard Mr. Blake Michaels say that Beacon is ready to go into the pharmaceutical
industry in Capital City. If you need me, just tell me.â
Wynn lifted her glass and smiled.
âMadam Johnston, congratulations.â
Wynn nodded and beamed.
