The First Heir
Chapter 715

Chapter 715

The woman who got beaten held her head, her entire face red and swollen. She staggered to stand upon her high heels. She could barely hear what Philip was saying.

“Let’s go!”

Jaden glared at Philip vehemently before turning to Cynthia, threatening, “Cynthia, you’d better think itover carefully. I’ll give you three days. If you want to know your mother’s whereabouts, come and lookfor me!”

“Get lost now!”

Philip frowned and looked as if he was going to kick him again.

Jaden stepped back in fright and almost fell. He gave Philip a sullen look, pointed his finger at thelatter, and threatened, “You… Just you wait!”

After that, he quickly left with his people.

Watching as the group of people left the bar, Cynthia was relieved and said to Philip, “Thank you.”

Of course, Cynthia knew that Jaden had deliberately come to replace fault with her. If Philip had notstepped in, she really would not have known how to deal with Jaden.

Three days… She needed to consider it carefully!

As she recalled all that had happened to her and her mother, Cynthia could not stop her tears fromflowing.

She covered her face as her emotions collapsed. She squatted on the ground, buried her head, andbawled!

Philip was frightened out of his wits, but he knew Cynthia needed to vent, so he did not intend todissuade her. He called out to the flustered waiter and asked for two glasses of wine. He sat at thedeck and waited for Cynthia to finish her episode.

After a while, Cynthia finally stabilized her emotions. It was only then she got up and wiped the tearsfrom her eyes while looking at Philip who was sitting there nonchalantly. She grabbed the cocktail fromhis hand and finished it in one big gulp!

“Hey, that’s mine.”

Philip was upset but could not do anything about it.

“What are you going to do?” Philip asked.

She sat beside him, staring blankly at the men and women enjoying themselves in the bar on the firstfloor. The events here did not affect the party downstairs. After all, such things were very common inbars, so no one paid attention.

“I don’t know, but I must replace out the news about my mother.”

Philip nodded, thought for a while, and said hesitantly, “Perhaps I can help you.”

Cynthia turned her tear-streaked face at him, looked at Philip pitifully, and asked, “You? What can youdo?”

Philip looked at that forlorn little face and felt distressed as he said, “Beat him to a pulp and force thewords out of him.”

Hearing him, she could not help the chuckle from escaping. She rolled her eyes at him and said, “Ihave my plans on this matter, so don’t worry about it. I don’t want to get you involved.”

Fine, this little girl was still that ice queen Cynthia Larson after all.

“Actually, in my eyes, the Larson family can easily be handled with one word. I can let Jaden revealyour mother’s whereabouts willingly,” Philip said abruptly after hesitating for a long time.

The Larson family was his mother’s family. As the heir to the Clarke family, they needed to give himsome leeway.

He wondered how his grandfather was doing.

Cynthia turned to Philip and assumed he was joking. “Thank you.”

“You really don’t need my help?” Philip said, “Are you really sure you can handle a villain like Jaden?What if he does something bad to you when the time comes?”

She rubbed her hands, obviously not confident. Then, she turned her face and said with a touch ofsadness, “Why don’t you accompany me then?”

Philip chuckled. “Yes, it’s always better to have more people. If he wants to do anything to you, I’llprotect you.”

“Mm.”

Cynthia nodded heavily. Everything that happened tonight was so sudden that she was unpreparedand defenseless.

Philip noticed that she was still a little worried and joked, saying, “Don’t worry. With such a handsomeguy like me to protect you, no one can hurt you.”

This got her to chuckle as she rolled her eyes at him. She said, “You’re really narcissistic.”

Philip shrugged but did not deny it.

Looking at his confident demeanor, her tension gradually dissipated. Having him by her side alwaysmade her feel at ease.

Cynthia felt that it was strange. She and Philip obviously belonged to different worlds, but why did healways appear by her side when she needed it the most?

“I’ll go back first. Have a seat and order any drinks you like. It’s on me.”

Cynthia got up with a tired look on her face. After experiencing the events just now, she needed to rest.It was still a big blow to her, after all.

“Okay. Remember to call me when you’re prepared to go over there.”

Philip was unconcerned.

She spoke to the waiter before she left.

Philip sat alone at the deck on the second floor, carefully savoring the cocktail served by the waiter.Even the glass had been replaced with an exquisite crystal glass, which reflected the beautiful glowunder the colorful lights.

Leaning back on the leather sofa, he took a light sip of the special cocktail. He looked at the wantonand boisterous crowd below and felt that their lives were too blissful.

Philip already had plans for Jaden in his mind. He needed to take care of this problem as soon aspossible.

Savoring the wine in the glass, Philip gradually became a little drunk.

When he squinted to look at the men and women dancing below, he accidentally saw a silhouette. Itwas a woman. A beautiful woman!

Wearing black hot pants and a black tube top, she had exquisite and sharply-defined facial features aswell as a piercing gaze!

The sudden eye contact between Philip and the woman caused a massive thump in his heart.Goosebumps were spreading all over his body!

When he tried to look for her again, the figure was already lost in the crowd!

It was strange!

Why did this happen?

Philip stood up abruptly and searched for the figure frantically but could not replace that woman no matterhow he searched.

“That’s odd… Very odd. Why do I have the weird feeling that the woman looks like Hannah Clarke, mysister?”
