The first heir novel (Master Yu Who Smokes)
Chapter 749

Philip hastily chased after her till he was outside, but after he turned a corner, there was no sign of that person. Philip searched around frantically.

However, that figure seemed to have disappeared into thin air.

Why?

Was that Hannah?

Philip grabbed his hair and felt confused.

What exactly was going on?

Suddenly, Cynthia appeared, and her words sounded full of meaning as she joked with him.

However.

She noticed that Philip seemed unwell and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Ahem." Philip coughed drily, forced out a smile, and touched his nose as he said, "Nothing. The other party was just too enthusiastic. People who've returned from abroad are different indeed."

"Be careful or I'll tell Wynn what you just said!"

Cynthia glared at him contemptuously.

"I've sent your wife home safely. If there's nothing else, I'll be going back too." Cynthia turned around and looked suspiciously at Philip again. "Are you really okay? I can't help feeling that you're troubled by something."

Philip chuckled and said, "It's nothing. Oh yes, I need you to keep my identity a secret from Wynn."

Cynthia frowned. Although she did not know why Philip wanted to do this, she could not refuse.

Therefore, she nodded and said, "I understand."

After that, the two left the hotel and went back separately.

Just half an hour ago, in a large gym in Capital City.

A man wearing a tight-fitting body shaper was doing pull-ups. Just from looking at his muscles, it was obvious he was a fitness expert. His body was shapely and full of energy.

However, he was not a very muscular man. The outline of his body was exquisite, one that would look thin in clothes but muscular without. His features were defined and he had a slender body.

He was a celebrity in this gym. He was extremely popular, and many young ladies would surround him all year round.

He was a friendly person and got along quite well with those young ladies, but whenever anyone wanted to further deepen their relationship with him, he would decline politely.

At this time, there was a woman wearing black tights beside him. She was using a yoga ball to do stretching exercises.

This girl had shoulder-length short hair and very refined but thin cheeks. Her eyebrows were vivid and delicate. There seemed to be a sparkle hidden within the depths of her eyes.

The only strange thing was that this woman had a dagger strapped to her waist!

Next to that woman was a man wearing a black vest with bulging muscles. He just stood there like a sturdy tree with his arms crossed over his chest. His eyes were frosty and his demeanor was like a cold sword that had been unsheathed!

His entire stance screamed clearly 'Beware, do not get close!'

"Ash, did the old master send Vivi to Riverdale?"

The man with a sharp gaze finished his pull-ups, jumped down, and took a towel to wipe his hands with a smile on his face.

"Yes, Second Young Master." The muscular man named Ash nodded, and when he spoke, one could almost feel the room vibrating. The nasal tone in his voice was heavy.

"Well, that sister of mine just returned from abroad and isn't aware of many things that have happened around here. She's the closest to me when she was a child. I'm worried she'd be bullied in Riverdale." This man was the second young master of the Joo family in Capital City and Vivi Joo's brother, Ivan Joo!

"Third Young Miss is very safe in Riverdale. If Master Ivan is not at ease, we can ask Eve to go there," Ash said in a deep voice.

"Mm."

Ivan sat down, wiped his face with a towel, and asked, "I heard that the Quaid family offended some people and got ousted?"

"Yes. A powerful character appeared recently and the second son of the Quaid family was maimed. Moreover, according to reliable sources, the entire Quaid family was ousted to the wastelands in the Northwest."

A cold light flashed in Ash's eyes.

Ivan could not help a taunting smile. "That brat, Marcus Quaid, used to be so arrogant. He won't forget the lesson so easily this time. Have you found out who did this?"

Ash nodded and said, "We got some news. The other party's name is Philip Clarke. He's the husband of Wynn Johnston who's the chairwoman of Beacon Pharmaceutical in Riverdale. According to the sources, he's a live-in son-in-law with no foundation or connections, but somehow, the Quaid family fell under his hands. Only the old master knows the true reason behind this. This is his profile."

Ash handed the information in his hands to Ivan, who then flipped a few pages before he stopped in shock!

At the same time, Ivan's eyes flashed with excitement and exhilaration.

Philip Clarke?

It was him!

Ivan did not speak but drank half a bottle of water in one breath. With a playful look at the corner of his eyes, he said with a slight smile, "That's okay. I know who he is."
