Chapter 735
The First Heir
âYoung Master Hane, thatâs Philip Clarke. Heâs the one who beat your brother up. It just so happens
that heâs also in attendance for tonightâs party. Would you like to find someone to teach him a lesson?â
Juan fanned the flames and looked at Philip not far away with unconcealed hatred in his eyes. He said,
âMoreover, heâs also a stumbling block for our cooperation this time. As long as heâs around, itâll be
difficult for our cooperation to proceed.â
Francis nodded silently, already shifting his gaze from Wynnâs graceful back to the smiling Philip.
That was the man?
He was the person who beat his brother up violently in public? He truly wondered if he should hate him
or thank him instead.
Otherwise, he would not have the opportunity to walk into the power center of the Hane family and
formally compete with Kenneth Hane for the lead position.
No one knew Francisâ thoughts at this moment, but in the outsidersâ eyes, Francis Hane, who had
always been calm and majestic, was actually showing a faint sneer.
The female companion next to Juan kept looking at Francisâ eyes, obviously smitten by him!
Juan also gave the woman a silent look.
The woman stepped forward, took Francisâ arm, and said coyly, âYoung Master Hane, for the sake of
our cooperation, you have to fix that brat! Heâs arrogant and even threatenedââ
âWhat?â
Francis frowned slightly with a chill on his face.
âHe said, if anyone from the Hane family ever steps into Riverdale, heâll break⦠Break their legsâ¦â
The woman next to Juan was really devious and played her cards well.
Those were absolutely false accusations.
Francis took a sip of red wine again and said nonchalantly, âThreatening the Hane family? Itâs the first
time Iâve heard of it. Interestingâ¦â
A useless kept man?
Hehe.
How audacious!
Francis was filled with cold contempt. In his eyes, a wretch like Philip was already a dead man.
Juan looked at Francis nervously. His purpose tonight was very simpleâTo make use of a powerhouse
like the Hane family and firmly suppress the arrogant Philip Clarke!
Anyway, he would not be the one in the spotlight, so he would just sit around and watch the show.
Besides, he also noticed that Francis had taken a fancy to Wynn. The expression in his eyes just now
said it all.
âYoung Master Hane, should we go over now?â Juan asked in a low voice.
Francis swirled the red wine in the glass and said mildly, âWait a minute. Didnât you say there are
special guests tonight? I want to see them first.â
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly saw a familiar figure appearing in the hall. In an instant,
a taunting look flashed in his eyes.
Cynthia Larson walked elegantly toward Philip with a sour face.
âI didnât expect to see her here. Itâs really interesting.â
Having said that, Francis put aside his wine glass and walked directly toward Philip.
Just at this moment, Cynthia was standing beside Philip. When she looked up, she saw Francis. She
sneered, âI didnât expect to meet an acquaintance here. Philip, donât blame me for not reminding you,
but youâre in trouble now.â
Philip was sipping the red wine with high spirits and asked, âWho? What trouble?â
âThe second young master of the Hane family, Francis Hane. Heâs the brother of Kenneth Hane who
you beat up last time.â
Cynthia folded her arms across her chest, her expression looking mild.
âHuh?â
Philip also noticed the group of people walking toward them. He glanced at Cynthia again and said with
a grin, âWhy do I get the feeling youâre the one in trouble instead?â
With a smile on his face, Francis walked over without any haste. He looked very graceful, like a true
child of a major family. He only had eyes for Philip Clarke.
Most of the people present were elites in the business field. Naturally, they noticed the movement here.
Many people recognized Francis at a glance and were startled. How did they not notice this walking
bank vault just now?
He was the Second Young Master of the Hane family in Capital City!
The one who took the limelight recently!
It was said that the first young master of the Hane family had gone abroad to recuperate, and this
created the opportunity for the second young master to experience life at the higher echelons.
Many people started to move slowly toward the direction of Philip and Francis.
Francis just stared at Philip calmly, making the latter feel a little embarrassed. What was wrong with
this guy?
Brokeback mountain?
Francis walked to Philip, held out his hand in a friendly manner, and nodded. He smiled slightly as he
said, âHello, itâs a pleasure to meet you. My nameâs Francis Hane.â
