The First Heir

Jacob looked at Philip, suddenly guessed what he meant, and said, “Young Master Clarke, are you sending him to General Williams?”

“I can try but it’s up to him to make it happen.”

Philip nodded and said to Ronnie, “You should go home and recuperate first. Come and look for me after two weeks. If I’m still in Uppercreek, you can find me in Royale Hotel. If I’m not there, find me in Riverdale. I’ll only give you half a month to go back and say goodbye to your family because you might be away for a few years. Of course, if you can’t stand it, you might be sent back in a day.”

Ronnie wiped away his tears, looked at Philip very seriously, and then bent over to say respectfully, “Thank you, Young Master Clarke!”

Jacob also grinned broadly, happy for Ronnie.

This was a good opportunity for him to get close to General Williams!

At that time, perhaps he would even be a man with a radiant and indomitable spirit!
