Chapter 739
The First Heir
Trillions of assets?
Was that a joke?
Wynnâs eyes widened. She looked at Philip suspiciously, stretched out her hand to touch his forehead,
and chuckled lightly. âPhil, you donât seem to be running a fever.â
Philip smiled faintly, hugged Wynnâs little waist, and said, âItâs nothing. Iâm just teasing.â
Wynn did not say anything else but went to greet the other directors.
Cynthia watched as Philip and Wynn whispered sweet nothings. She stomped her foot and left the
venue. She had to find out Francisâ condition and wipe Philipâs *ss!
After all, the Larson family was finding ways to cooperate with Beacon. If something happened to
Philip, the cooperation would be over.
It was just a minor incident, but the aftermath was quietly brewing.
Half an hour later, the atmosphere of the whole reception gradually relaxed, and the guests attending
the banquet began to interact.
After all, the episode that happened just now had nothing to do with them. It was Beacon Groupâs
disgrace.
At this time, Juan visited Francis several times to understand his general condition before returning to
the hotel. As for the latter, he did not go to the hospital at all but immediately left the hotel without any
indication of his whereabouts.
Perhaps a storm was already unleashed.
Juan felt very uneasy when he realized that his biggest backer tonight was gone.
However, he still had a plan B, so he was not very worried. He stood silently, observing Wynn and
Philip while speculating about his next move.
At this time, Mr. Isaac Jenks, the host of the reception and also a famous pharmaceutical industry
representative in Riverdale, took the stage.
Isaac was a heavyweight in the pharmaceutical industry in Riverdale. Once an academician of the
National Academy of Sciences, he now devoted his life to the development of the pharmaceutical
industry. He was a well-respected academicianâAn upright, elegant, and generous person.
Therefore, Beacon had made huge efforts to invite him to host the cocktail party tonight.
After all, the reception tonight was related to the future development of Beacon!
Isaac was not present during the conflict between Philip and Francis just now. Otherwise, according to
his temperament, he would definitely have come forward to stop it.
Furthermore, Isaac had a certain relationship with Old Master Hane too.
As soon as Isaac appeared on the stage, the people slowly gathered in front. They heard that a
heavyweight guest would be there tonight and many people were guessing who the other party was.
Especially the people in this circle who were already elites in their own rights. Now that they heard
there was going to be heavyweight guests, that identity must be extraordinary!
Isaac fiddled with the microphone and gave a rather humorous opening speech. Although he was
getting on in his years, his mental state was still intact and one could not notice his age at all.
âDistinguished guests, today, everyone knows that thereâs another heavyweight guest present, but they
donât know who she is. I canât help it. Chairwoman Johnston asked me to keep it a secret, so blame her
if you want to. This person does not belong in our circle, but Iâm sure everyone will know her when her
name is mentioned.â
Philip listened and smiled softly. âThereâs another special guest tonight? Why havenât I heard of it
before? Is that personâs identity really that amazing?â
âUh-huh.â
Wynn said, âHer nameâs Vivi Joo, a popular foreign superstar. She was once voted the most popular
celebrity in Time Magazine with fans all over the world. She has just returned and has plans to develop
her career in the domestic market.
âOthers may only know that sheâs a popular star, but they donât know how terrifying her background is,â
Wynn continued.
Vivi Joo?
Why did this name sound so familiar?
When Philip heard it, his brows wrinkled slightly as his whole body trembled!
He stared at Wynn in a daze and felt that it was ludicrous!
âAre you sure the special guest tonight is Vivi Joo?â
Philip was astonished. If he did not overthink it, then it might be another person with the same name,
which he fervently hoped was the case.
âThatâs right. Why, are you a fan too?â
Wynn glanced at Philip as a faint smile appeared in the corner of her eyes.
After all, Vivi was an international superstar. Although she was mainly active abroad, she recently
returned and had been reported by various media. She was definitely a major torrential wave in the
domestic entertainment industry!
âIs it really her? It canât be such a coincidence, right?â Philip mumbled.
âDonât tell me you donât know who Vivi Joo is?â
Wynn noticed his reaction and exclaimed in surprise. There was someone who did not know Vivi Joo?!
