The First Heir

Over on Philip’s side, he received a call from Tim as soon as he walked out of Beacon’s main doors.

“What’s the matter, Uncle Tim?”

“I’m sorry, Phil, I couldn’t stop them from issuing that restraining order. But don’t worry, I already exterminated some of Giada’s underground bases with my men! That damned b*tch, how dare she try something like that!”

Tim Clarke sounded furious on the other end.

Philip was slightly taken aback to hear that too. Well, that was just like his uncle, though. The man had such a temper that he would simply set out to exterminate some of Giada’s hidden forces.

“Don’t worry about it, Uncle Tim. A mere restraining order won’t do much to me,” Philip said with a laugh.

Tim sounded worried as he said, “Giada isn’t the only one controlling the strings behind this. Some of the geezers from the branch families are involved too. Those senile idiots are actually greedy enough to come after your assets. Don’t worry, I’m already back at the island. This time, I’ll break their grubby paws! That’ll show them.”

Philip was exasperated, but no one could stop his uncle now.

The consequences of angering Uncle Tim were always quite severe.

Once, a foreign power tried to threaten him, and he ended up bringing his men over, destroying the entire family!
