The first heir novel (Master Yu Who Smokes)
Chapter 147

In the villa, Theo was having a discussion with a few of his henchmen.

When Nino Gil was uprooted previously, Theo had been unable to swallow such a big piece of cake at one go. Hence, he had to discuss the matter with his brothers.

After all, there were too many venues to handle, and they were related to too many interests and connections in the background.

At this moment, when Theo saw the panicked Tiger rushing in, he raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why are you so flustered?"

"Theo, Mr. Clarke has been arrested." Tiger was sweating profusely as he spoke, "I just came back and overheard that Mr. Clarke was arrested at Concord Hotel."

Theo stood up abruptly, his face full of anger. "What? How could he have been arrested?"

"It seems that he molested a woman and was caught red-handed. However, according to our men, that woman belonged to Al Hopper, a small-time gangster," Tiger explained.

"Al Hopper?" Theo looked puzzled but said domineeringly, "I've not even heard of him and he dares to touch Mr. Clarke. He's seeking death!"

Theo's face turned cold as daggers formed in his eyes. "Bring a few men and take care of this Al guy. Find out who made him do it! Also, call Deaton Wade and tell him to release Mr. Clarke immediately!" Theo knew that if Mr. Clarke was arrested, the whole of Riverdale would experience an uproar!

Those people were too brazen!

"Yes, Theo!" Tiger acknowledged his orders.

Theo also got up hurriedly, left the villa, and drove personally to an unknown location.

On the other hand, after Philip was arrested, Wynn stayed with Juan the entire time, trying to think of a solution.

"Juan, you must help Philip this time. I'm sure he couldn't have done such a thing. Those people must have framed him on purpose. I'm afraid Philip is in trouble."

Wynn burst into tears. She was extremely worried about Philip's situation.

Juan comforted her and said, "Wynnie, don't worry. I'll try my best to help him. I'll call my dad, he knows many people."

Wynn nodded as tears poured down her face. Evidently, her eyes were red from all the crying.

She could only place her hopes on Juan at such a time.

Juan pretended to call his father. When he hung up, his face was gloomy, and he seemed very dejected.

When Wynn saw this, her heart sank for a moment, and she quickly asked, "Juan, how is it? Does Mr. Parker have a solution?"

Juan sighed and said, "Wynnie, my dad has asked someone to help, but the matter is still very uncertain. It's estimated that the specific situation can only be clarified by tomorrow." Wynn was aware that asking for help was not easy. She nodded and said eagerly, "Juan, can you help me contact those people just now? I'll pay them as much as they want.” Juan fell silent. The more he acted, the more distressed Wynn became.

Juan spoke after a long while, "I'll try."

Unbeknownst to Wynn, Juan was gloating internally.

Him, help Philip?

Impossible. He could not wait for Philip to be locked up forever. That way, he could get close to Wynn without any constraints, get her, and make her his own!

At the same time, in the chairman's office of the Apex Group.

Theo walked in with a sexily dressed secretary that had a hot figure.

Looking at George Thomas, who was working at his desk busily, Theo respectfully inclined his body.

"Mr. Thomas, Mr. Zander is here," the secretary announced in her sweet voice.

George raised his head, glanced at Theo, and said, "Theo, what brings you here at such a late hour?"

Theo was a little nervous and lowered his head as he said, "Mr. Thomas, something happened. Mr. Clarke was arrested."

"Eh?" George was startled. His expression sank, and he said solemnly, "The Young Master was arrested? By whom?"

At the same time, the door to the office was pushed open again. This time, Julian Thane rushed in; a panicked expression could be seen on his face. He said, "Mr. Thomas, Mr. Clarke was deliberately framed for molesting a woman and was taken away."

In a split second, the entire office was filled with a biting chill and burning anger!

The combination of fire and ice made people feel as if George Thomas was about to explode with an intense aura!

"Who did it!"

Bang!

George was furious as he stood up angrily; his eyes were as wide as copper bells!

Theo shuddered in fright and almost lost his balance. He had never felt such fury from George before.

All this while, the old man had always been friendly and approachable.

"We found out that it was done by a few gangsters who are led by someone named Al Hopper. We don't know who's behind it yet," Julian reported.

"Call Deaton Wade and order him to release the Young Master immediately. Also, replace out the person who's responsible for this!"

George's eyes had become narrow while his tone of voice had become chilly. He stepped out of the office, took Julian with him into the elevator, and went straight up to the secret room on the top floor. Naturally, Theo waited in the office below.

He was not qualified to go up there with them.
