The first heir novel (Master Yu Who Smokes)
Chapter 109

At Starlight Bar right now, Lynn and the others were about to leave in a hurry.

However, they had barely gotten a few steps away when a shadow blocked their way.

"Phi... Mr. Clarke." Lynn looked up and saw that the one standing in front of her was none other than Philip.

As a result, she was so scared that she could not even get a word out properly.

Her girl friends and Kyle were huddled together warily as well. They did not even have the guts to raise their heads and look at Philip. That spineless wimp had suddenly metamorphosed into a man even Theo Zander had to respect.

Of course they were terrified.

Was he here to take revenge on them?

However...

Philip just frowned and said calmly, "You saw everything?"

Lynn was quaking in her boots. She stammered for a long time, shaking her head desperately as she said, "N-No... I didn't see anything."

What did Philip want?

Did he want to kill her so she would not spill his secret?

Philip smiled and took Lynn's phone from her. When he saw the video she had sent to Wynn, he frowned deeply and said, "What else did you tell your cousin?"

He was feeling quite frustrated now.

Did Wynn know who he really was now?

It was not the right time yet, though!

Lynn panicked and hastily shook her head, saying, "I... I didn't tell her anything."

Philip casually deleted the video from the phone and returned it to Lynn, saying, "I'm still your cousin-in-law, don't worry about it. Those guys are just friends I made recently. Don't tell anyone else about this, okay? Not even your cousin. The same goes for the rest of you, hear me?"

His tone was calm and not threatening in the slightest.

Even so, Lynn and the others felt a ton of pressure on their shoulders.

Lynn never once imagined that she would someday feel this pressure from Philip Clarke!

"Yeah, okay."

The others hurriedly nodded.

"I returned the money for you, so don't get involved with rabble like that from now on, got it?" Philip frowned at her like an adult at a child in the family.

Before today, Lynn would definitely have slapped or kicked him by now, jabbing a finger at his face and swearing him out.

Now, things were different. She did not dare to try that anymore, so she just nodded sheepishly and said, "Yeah, got it."

It was only when Philip left on that old scooter that Lynn and the others finally relaxed.

Lynn's back was already drenched with sweat, and her long straight legs shook despite her best efforts.

"L-Lynn, your cousin-in-law was terrifying just now."

"I've never been so scared of someone just looking at me expressionlessly like that. I nearly peed myself!"

"We can't afford to offend him! He's no wimp at all, let's stay away from now on."

They started chattering among themselves. Even though Philip had left, their nerves lingered.

Lynn was also simultaneously terrified and curious.

Was her cousin-in-law really that amazing?

Lynn was an opportunist, so she instantly thought of something once her heart stopped pounding.

Since the others did not know about Philip's true identity and she was the only one who did, did that mean she could threaten Philip with this information? Could he perhaps be some secret trust fund kid? Or was he maybe some mob boss?

Was he here just to experience the normal life?

It was possible!

It was very possible!

Because even now, the Johnstons still did not know about his past.

His parents did not even attend his wedding with Wynn.

Once she thought that true, the expression of panic on Lynn's face immediately disappeared, replaced instead with a cold, calculating smile. "Philip Clarke, now I have finally have dirt on you! Just you wait, you won't be cocky for long, hmph!" Lynn harrumphed, her gaze sharp and cunning. Back at the hospital...

Philip saw Wynn, who was clearly fuming at something.

With a sheepish smile, he said, "What's the matter, Wynn? Why did you call me back so urgently?"

Wynn had already sat up in bed and was now looking at Philip coldly. "So you've learned how to lie to me, huh?"

Lie?

Before Philip could explain, Wynn showed him the video on her phone and demanded, "Were you doing your delivery rounds here?"

"No," Philip said, scratching his head awkwardly.

"How did you end up with these guys?" Wynn's expression turned ever colder.

If he did not give her a valid reason today, she was definitely going to teach him a real lesson.

"Can... Can I say I don't know them?" Philip asked calmly.

"You don't know them? Then why did you get into their car?" Wynn was furious now.

Philip thought it over and then pulled himself a chair. Sitting down, he said perfectly calmly, "I went to replace that young man who attacked you earlier. His family is quite rich, so I asked them for compensation." "Oh, you found him?" Wynn said curiously.

Although she was still suspicious, she did feel touched that Philip would go to those lengths for her.

"What did they say?" she asked.

"I'll be going to discuss the compensation again in the next few days," Philip said.

Right.

The atmosphere in the room turned heavy.

"What do you think about Mila's surgery?" Wynn asked suddenly, her voice very soft. She seriously seemed to be asking for his opinion.

"I've already contacted a rather famous doctor. If all goes well, we can have her hospitalized tomorrow in preparation for the surgery," Philip said, bending down.

"Who's this doctor? Tell me their name and I'll ask Juan to check them out," Wynn said abruptly.

Philip thought it over and raised an eyebrow slightly, saying, "Actually, the doctor I found is..."
