The first heir novel (Master Yu Who Smokes)
Chapter 374

Ronald exploded like a volcano, showing just how intimidating he could be!

He glared at his son and jabbed a finger at his nose, "You useless, useless son! How dare you lie through your teeth like that? When have I ever helped young Wynn here?"

Joel was stunned. He looked at his father in confusion.

What was wrong with the old man? Why was he turning on his son?

Wynn was quite disappointed right now. Joel, who was once sunny and bright, had changed completely!

He had become so two-faced and fake!

"What are you saying, Dad? Didn't you help Wynnie that time? I called you and you said you would assign someone to it. You said you could handle it."

Joel frowned deeply and forced the lie through, but he was getting a bad feeling about this.

"Nonsense! When have I ever said that?"

Ronald was properly furious now. "I just said I would have someone look at it. When did I ever say that I could solve it?"

The air turned tense.

"What on earth is happening here? Please tell me honestly, Joel Harris. Did or did you not help my company?"

Wynn was frosty now, her expression hard and her tone stern.

"Don't be mad, Wynnie. Maybe my dad forgot, or maybe someone down the line didn't inform him." Joel understood what was happening now, but he still tried to explain it away.

Smack!

There was a loud and solid slap!

Ronald's entire body shook in fury. His face was bright red as he slapped Joel viciously, roaring, "Stop lying! You useless, useless son, how could you take credit for something like that?!" Ronald was going to explode with rage!

He had sent someone to survey the situation, but by the time he did, he realized that someone else had solved Beacon Pharmaceutical's crisis.

Someone had paid off the six hundred million in damages, just like that!

That was an astronomical sum!

It was only after he secretly investigated the matter that he found out Beacon's savior was a man named Clarke.

Who could that man be?

Ronald had plenty of experience in Riverdale, so he only had to search a bit to replace out. This man named Clarke was none other than the main character of the party tonight, Master Clarke from Capital City's Clarke Group!

That was Master Clarke, for god's sake!

No matter how bold Ronald might be, he would never dare to take credit for Master Clarke's actions.

However, his useless son did just that!

If Master Clarke found out about that, how could Ronald still survive in Riverdale?

"Dad! How could you hit me?"

Joel was stunned. He held his cheek and looked at his father in disbelief.

"Why shouldn't I hit you? Explain everything to Wynn, right now!"

Ronald hated his stupid son to the core right now. The boy's lust had taken over his sanity.

Ronald knew that his son was very much obsessed with Wynn Johnston, but this was a line he should never have crossed!

That was Master Clarke they were talking about! The man could bankrupt Harris Enterprise with a word!

Mr. Cash was here now too, yet Joel still the nerve to deny their accusations and defend his lie!

Was he suicidal?!

"Please, hear me out, Wynnie."

Joel turned to look at Wynn, whose expression was cold. He tried to explain.

"That's enough!"

Wynn said angrily, clenching her delicate fists. She glared at Joel and said, "Do you enjoy tricking me, Joel Harris?"

"No, Wynnie, this is... I can explain." Joel panicked now.

"Forget it, stop talking to me. I don't want to see you anymore, and never contact me again. I don't want my husband misunderstanding anything."

Wynn shot him down coolly and then turned to leave, holding up her long dress.

Behind her, Joel still wanted to explain, but Ronald glared at him and barked, "Useless boy!"

As the others left, Ronald looked at his son icily and said with fury, "Stand straight! I'm asking you this one more time, why did you impersonate Beacon's savior? Do you have any idea who was the one who helped Wynn Johnston?"

Joel was quite unhappy. His father had hit him in front of so many people, embarrassing him and ticking Wynn off as well.

"It was Master Clarke! The VIP of the party tonight, the young master of Clarke Group!” Ronald ranted on by himself, "You better keep your hands to yourself. If you get me in trouble like that again, I'll send you right back overseas!"

"Got it, Dad," Joel mumbled, his head hanging low.

"Get out of my sight!"

Joel left his father and immediately set out to search for Wynn.

He did not at all feel pleased about things, though. So it was Master Clarke who helped Wynn back then.

Since when did Wynn know Master Clarke?

Could he really be Philip...?
