The First Heir (First Heir)

chapter 28

His entire body trembled as his gaze darted around.

Upon seeing Philip, he crawled to his knees and kowtowed while pleading, "Ph... Philip, Brother Philip! Considering I am a colleague of Vice Manager Johnston, please forgive me this time. I'll never do it again. ."

Philip's eyes were cold with underlying anger. "I don't want to see him again in Riverdale City."

"Yes, Mr. Clarke!" Theo was a man from the underground world, so he could easily understand the meaning behind Philip's words.

Just with an eye gesture, two men grabbed Gavin who was wailing and howling apologetically and dragged him into another room. Gavin was so frightened that he soaked and soiled himself on the spot, leaving a foul smell behind him.

"Your turn, Jeffrey Scott," said Philip.

Jeffrey lowered his head and forced a smile. "Mrs. Clarke, since my uncle is Henry Turner and you know him, don't make bad blood. Let me go this time and I will never again set foot into Riverdale City." Jeffrey thought about it. No matter how strong Mr. Clarke was, he might just be a little more capable. If Mr. Clarke had really done anything to him, his uncle would definitely not have let this man go. Therefore, he grew a little more confident.

"Don't make blood bad?" After hearing this, Philip laughed. "Do you know who the woman you're trying to go to is?"

Jeffrey really doesn't know. "It's just a woman. Does Mr Clarke really want to turn this into a life-and-death struggle?"

"The struggle of life and death?" Philip's expression immediately hardened as his gaze turned cold. "Wynn Johnston is my wife!"

Thumping! Jeffrey shuddered. He knew in an instant that things were getting serious! He ended up playing someone else's wife! Damnit damnit!

"Uhm, Mr. Clarke, it's just barely. I'll compensate five hundred thousand as an apology, please consider that as mental compensation for yourself." Jeffrey felt anxious inside, but he remained confident. For Jeffrey, five hundred thousand was quite a lot.

"Are you discussing money with me?" Philip said coldly. "Theo, give him three million."

Theo did not hesitate. He brought one person with him to withdraw cash personally. The whole process took less than five minutes when three silver work bags appeared on the coffee table, opened to show that everything was filled with red notes! There's a full three million here!

Cold sweat started to form on Jeffrey's forehead. The corner of his mouth twitched. "Mr Clarke, what do you mean by this?"

"I'll buy your third leg!" Philip's voice sounded cold.

Right after he spoke, Theo's men pressed Jeffrey to the ground with their backs on the floor, and stripped him naked, leaving only his underwear.

"Mrs. Clarke, my uncle is Henry Turner. You can't do this!" Jeffrey shouted while struggling, but it was in vain. "If you touch me, my uncle will definitely not let you go!"

Philip said nothing but closed his eyes.

Theo raised the metal bat in his hand and smashed it at Jeffrey.

"Aah!!" A soul-shaking scream echoed throughout the room. Jeffrey's face had turned purple as large droplets of sweat fell from his forehead. His back was curved, unable to speak a word, and could only hum.

At the same time, five Audi A8 Ls stopped in front of the Celestial Club. Henry got out of the car in a panic with the mayor of Riverdale City behind him. Keagan Sanders was drenched as he brought his secretary to pursue Henry. "Professor Henry, please slow down."

As Keagan received word from the medical king, Henry's arrival in Riverdale City, he personally rushed to the airport to receive the professor. To this prominent figure, visiting Riverdale City was a great honor, and Keagan intended to receive it with great hospitality!

However, the moment he received it, Henry chose to rush to the Celestial Club. Kean's confused. Who should Henry personally visit and could make him anxious like this.

At the entrance of the Celestial Club were a group of black-clothed assassins standing guard solemnly. They stopped Henry immediately. "Sorry, but this place is currently closed."

Henry frowned. He was about to say something as Keagan rushed over and shouted, "Who dares to get in the way?!"

Upon seeing the newcomer, the assassin began to shiver in fear. "Mom... Mayor Sanders..."

Good Lord! Why is Mayor Sanders here? Who's the old thing that Mayor Sanders has to personally escort?

In an instant, the hitmen gave way to them and bowed as they let Henry, Keagan, and the rest of the group in.

When Keagan saw that the premise was overflowing with people, flames began to flare up inside him! It seemed like he had to hurry to clear the city of criminals!

The VIP room door was pushed open. Henry rushed in to see Jeffrey let out a shriek curdling on the floor. However, he ignored his nephew and rushed over to Philip, bowing slightly as he greeted, "Master Clarke, forgive me for being late."

Keagan, who was following from behind, felt his entire body had just been struck by lightning. He was shocked when he saw this scene.

Professor Henry bowed and apologized to a young man!
