The First Heir

“Why are you here?” Wynn frowned and glanced at the Bentley beside Philip. ‘Did he just come out from that car? Is this my wretched husband? Or do delivery companies now deliver meals in Bentleys?’

“I… I, uhm…” Philip stammered then swept a look at George who was smiling like a flower through the window.

The old man quickly put out a hand and said, “Young man, thank you. It’s thanks to you that I finally found this place. Let this old man treat you to a meal next time to show my gratitude.”

Philip smiled and nodded politely. “That’s okay, sir. Please take care on your way back.”

The tone of his voice hinted to the elderly man to leave quickly. George did not reply anything but smiled and nodded at Wynn before asking the driver to move away.

Wynn froze in shock!

‘Wasn’t… Wasn’t that the chairman of Apex Group, President Thomas?! The wealthiest man in the city! And Philip was just in the same car with him!’

“Do you know George Thomas?” Wynn looked back at Philip, surprised.

Philip shrugged. “No, I don’t. That old thing was lost, so I just led the way.”

“That old thing?” The corner of Wynn’s mouth twitched. ‘He had called the wealthiest man in the city ‘that old thing’? How rude!’

“What do you mean by ‘old thing’? That man is the wealthiest in Riverdale, the president of Apex Group!” Wynn rolled her eyes at Philip.

This man was senseless. The more Wynn looked at him, the more contempt she felt. She merely said coldly, “Philip, don’t forget that my father will be hosting a get-together this weekend at Virtuous Court. Prepare some gifts.”

“I never said I would go,” answered Philip.

“You!” Wynn was irked. She had put in a lot of effort to persuade her father, telling him that Philip would come and apologize to him, and she hoped that her father would not give him such a hard time. But, what was with Philip’s attitude? Forget it, forget him. She must have been blind back then to fall for this man.

“Do as you please then!” Wynn’s temper flared up, and with a twist of her slender waist, she turned to leave.

As Philip watched her leave, he noticed that she had changed clothes. She even seemed to be wearing perfume and had makeup on. Philip was puzzled as he saw her enter a large building. He started pondering, ‘Didn’t Wynn say she was going back to the office? Why was she here? And where was this? It’s Hilton Hotel!’

At the thought of that, Philip felt anger rise in him. He was putting in so much effort at work, but she came to a hotel?

This would not do. He must follow her and see what was going on!

Wynn was very stressed out today. First, her daughter’s heart disease had relapsed under the care of that irresponsible Philip. Next, she had to worry about that whole matter with Juan Parker, and after she returned to the office, one of her projects was facing some challenging patch.

The president of this project stood her up and insisted that she come for a discussion at the Hilton. Wynn had wanted to refuse, but the client was using the project to pressure her, so she had to show up. This project was worth a million!
