The First Heir

The woman who got beaten held her head, her entire face red and swollen. She staggered to stand up on her high heels. She could barely hear what Philip was saying.

“Let’s go!”

Jaden glared at Philip vehemently before turning to Cynthia, threatening, “Cynthia, you’d better think it over carefully. I’ll give you three days. If you want to know your mother’s whereabouts, come and look for me!”

“Get lost now!”

Philip frowned and looked as if he was going to kick him again.

Jaden stepped back in fright and almost fell. He gave Philip a sullen look, pointed his finger at the latter, and threatened, “You… Just you wait!”

After that, he quickly left with his people.

Watching as the group of people left the bar, Cynthia was relieved and said to Philip, “Thank you.”

Of course, Cynthia knew that Jaden had deliberately come to find fault with her. If Philip had not stepped in, she really would not have known how to deal with Jaden.

Three days… She needed to consider it carefully!

As she recalled all that had happened to her and her mother, Cynthia could not stop her tears from flowing.

She covered her face as her emotions collapsed. She squatted on the ground, buried her head, and bawled!

Philip was frightened out of his wits, but he knew Cynthia needed to vent, so he did not intend to dissuade her. He called out to the flustered waiter and asked for two glasses of wine. He sat at the deck and waited for Cynthia to finish her episode.

After a while, Cynthia finally stabilized her emotions. It was only then she got up and wiped the tears from her eyes while looking at Philip who was sitting there nonchalantly. She grabbed the cocktail from his hand and finished it in one big gulp!
