The First Heir

It was just brief eye contact. Philip did not have much of an impression of Lex. The number of times he met Lex could be counted on one hand. Besides, Lex seldom did anything influential in the branch family and his reputation was so-so.

At this moment, a man in a black outfit with burly muscles stood behind Lex.

Next to him was a charming woman in a short purple dress, a pair of black high heels, and her hair was in a high ponytail.

“Second Young Master, aren’t you going to take a look?” the woman said, her voice soft.

A delicate chill flashed in Lex’s eyes as he smiled and said, “Of course, why not? It’s so interesting. It’d be a waste to miss it.”

As soon as he said that, the burly man in black attire straightened up from the wall he was leaning against and said, “Let me check out the situation first.”

Lex shook his head and said, “No need. No one will make a move against me at this time. Just go with ease and confidence.”

After saying that, Lex stared at Philip who was already walking toward the branch family’s memorial hall. He softly murmured under his breath, “Philip Clarke, I’m looking forward to you kicking up a storm in the branch family. For me, this is a godsend opportunity.”
