Chapter 640
The First Heir
Wynn suddenly remembered the scene she had witnessed at Cirrus Villa back then. Then there was
the armed forces Uncle Tim came with, as well as the recent incident at First Palace.
It seemed that Philipâs family was not just the owners of a small business group.
âYouâll earn enough for both of us, you say?â
Philip said with a chuckle, âDonât worry, honey. If it really canât work out, just tell me. I think that friend of
mine can help.â
His wife was pretty darn cute.
Wynn nodded. âAlright, I got it. You can leave now.â
Philip looked at Wynnâs tall and dignified back. She looked quite helpless right now. He left the office
and walked back to the marketing department, his thoughts weighing heavy on his mind.
Wynn was a strong independent woman with a great deal of pride. She was not willing to go running to
him for help every time.
That was why he did not know how long he could keep up this lie.
His friend, huh?
âHoney, that friend is none other than your dear old husband.â
As he mused, Philip arrived at the washroom where he called Buffer.
âHello, my dear Mr. Clarke! Iâve been waiting for your call.â
Buffer sounded as enthusiastic and eager as ever from the other side of the phone.
âBuffy, could you do something for me? Look into the Quaid familyâs business and financial dealings.
Find out how much theyâre worth and how much it will take to bring them down.â
Philip said calmly.
He did not have his familyâs support, and he was now under a restraining order, so he had to rely on
Buffer for these things.
âAlright, Mr. Clarke. Iâll get on that right now.â
Buffer ended the call respectfully.
Marcus returned to the hotel and smashed a bunch of things in a huff. His expression was terrifyingly
dark!
âWhy? How? Who the hell is he?!â
âMaster Marcus, we need to look into that man. He is definitely no pushover. To be that skilled at such a
young age, chances are high that he is from one of the hidden powers in Capital City, out here as part
of his heir training.â
Len stood next to Marcus quietly, watching the latter throw a tantrum while he remained
expressionless.
âA hidden power? Which hidden power? Investigate, find out everything!â
Marcus was furious.
After that, he dialed a number and said spitefully, âDania, look into a man for me, and send some
assassins here too! Right away!â
Once he hung up, Marcusâs usually cocky face was filled with nothing but shadows. He sneered, âLetâs
see if you can survive me, Clarke!â
Wynn was his forbidden fruit. The mere thought of her acting lovey-dovey with Philip drove him insane!
She was his!
He had to get his hands on her, by hook or by crook!
Len shook his head but did not stop Marcus. He knew what his masterâs second son was like. No one
could stop him once he set his mind on something.
Wynn finished up what she had to do at the company and was about to leave when she bumped into
Philip at the door. He had been waiting for her for a while now.
âWhy are you here, honey? Didnât you go to the hospital?â
âHehe.â Philip chuckled mischievously. âI was waiting for you, honey. Actually, thereâs something I want
to tell you.â
The corners of Wynnâs lips curved. Looking like a goddess, she crossed her arms in front of her chest
and then grabbed Philipâs arm. âCome on, letâs walk as we talk.â
Philip scratched the back of his head and laughed awkwardly. âWould you believe me if I said I could
get the Quaids off your case?â
Wynn raised a brow and giggled. âAlright, I got it. Thank you, darling, but Iâll handle it this time.â
With that, she opened the car door and prepared to get in.
She knew that Philip was just trying to make her feel better. She knew the companyâs situation better
than anyone, and she knew who she could count on to help her too.
Philip shrugged helplessly. It seemed like Wynn did not believe him. He was about to call out to her
whenâ¦
Suddenly, everything went awry!
A car came flying at them, grinding to a sudden stop right behind Wynn and blocking her from Philipâs
sight!
âAh! Let go of me! Help!â
Wynn could barely cry out before three masked men in black suits dragged her into the car!
