The First Heir
Chapter 630

Chapter 630

“How are the branch families reacting?”

“The head of the branch family already brought his men over, but the Fourth Madam persuaded him toleave. The head of the enforcement hall should be here soon too. After this, members of the branchfamilies and enforcement hall will probably keep streaming into Riverdale to trouble Young MasterPhilip. After all, he did go too far this time. He ignored the rules and even…”

Cough cough.

There was a bout of coughing, followed by slightly quiet panting.

“I see. I’ll leave the matters on the island to the Fourth Madam for now. You… Cough cough, go toFernvale and convey this message…”

Back at Riverdale, at First Palace of Longford Park.

Philip looked at Giada coldly, approaching her one step at a time.

Right now, Vivian was like a feral kitten with all her hackles up, protecting Giada with her life.

“Do you dare get in my way?”

Philip said icily, his gaze completely devoid of warmth!

Vivian was beyond surprised!

She always thought Philip was just a rich young heir who did not pose much of a threat. Right now,however, she could clearly sense an endless ocean of ruthlessness and killing intent coming from him!

The pressure he was emanating snuffed out any intentions she might have of fighting back!

“I-If you dare to hurt the madam, I’ll definitely kill you!”

Vivian said stubbornly, gritting her teeth and flashing a gleaming dagger.

The moment she spoke, however, someone appeared next to her and stabbed his knee into her body,sending her flying far away. She tumbled forward and was instantly forced down.

Rick gripped her slender wrists as her dagger clattered to the floor.

He had her pinned down to the ground!

“Let go of me! I’ll kill you!”

Vivian raged, but her struggles were useless.

Rick smiled faintly. “A girl like you shouldn’t play with knives. Shall we have a nice long talk about ourlives and dreams?”

“Scram!”

Vivian barked.

Philip ignored them, keeping his cold gaze trained on Giada. “What will you do now?”

Giada did not reply to his question, saying coolly, “Do you know what you’ve done, Philip? You’relighting the fuse between the main and branch families. You’re starting a war! If the branch family’swrath descends upon you, forget me, you won’t be able to withstand their ire either! When thathappens, you will drag Wynn and Mila into this too!”

Philip had gone too far!

How could he do something like that?!

He was setting up his own destruction!

“Haha.” Philip chuckled softly. “Everyone thinks I’m useless. The branch family especially assumed thatI’ll be easy to handle since I was away from the family for seven years and lost my foundations. Butthere’s one thing they’re forgetting, and that’s the fact that I’m the main family’s only heir. That is anunchangeable fact!”

Giada did not say anything, her gaze dark.

Philip played with his jade thumb ring and continued, “To everyone else, the Sovereignty Seal is one ofits kind in the world, something that represents all our assets in one. To you and me, though, it’s merelya ring, nothing more than a weapon. I won’t obey its summonses, and neither will you. It’s too early foryou to try and subdue me with it, Giada Wallis!”

“Haha, Philip Clarke, your head is grown too big for your own shoes! What happened today goesbeyond a petty squabble between you and me. Remember, you’ve insulted the branch families, theenforcement hall! Let’s see how you deal with the consequences!”

Giada said coldly, her expression growing darker.

She had underestimated Philip for seven years. She never thought he would grow so quickly in thattime!

He was overwhelming!

Far too overwhelming!

Philip smiled faintly and said, “Oh, don’t worry about me. After this, I’m turning my sights onto you.”

He was talking about the Michaels family from Golden City!

It was time he defanged them.

Giada frowned slightly when she heard that, then her lips curved into a smile. “So you’re coming afterme now? Well, I look forward to it.”

With that, Giada turned around and left with her subordinates.

After she left, Martha, who had been hiding in the house the entire time, finally crept out of her hidingplace.

She was very shaken and terrified.

After she witnessed just how vicious Philip could be earlier, she grew even more panicked.

It was not as though she had never seen that side of him before.

However, his actions tonight left too much of an impact on her.

Martha carefully walked up behind Philip and asked, “Um, Philip, are all these people your friends?”

She pointed at Theo’s men.

She knew Theo Zander, since they had met several times now.

Philip looked at her expressionlessly and simply ignored her. Right now, he wanted to visit Wynn andMila at the hospital.

Martha saw that he was leaving and yelled at his back anxiously, “W-Who are they? And who are you?Are you really my son-in-law, Philip?”

He used to be so worthless, so why did his capabilities now seem so limitless?

Philip turned around and looked at Martha coolly, asking, “Do you want to know I am?”
