The First Heir

Chapter 769

Philip came to Wynn’s office.

After experiencing the incident in the morning, Wynn was not affected at all. She still displayed thepersona of a Snow Queen, but from Philip’s perspective, he was keenly aware of a difference in her.

Wynn’s eyes looked a bit confused and absent, and she was also unable to concentrate whether shewas looking at documents or reports. Sometimes, her eyes would even linger on a page withoutmoving.

This was unlike Wynn. Obviously, she was restless.

Philip sat across from her and noticed her expression clearly. He said, “Are you still thinking about whathappened this morning?”

Wynn shook her head in firm denial.

“Stop pretending. I can tell.”

Philip suddenly felt that she was a little cute. She was obviously very upset but still pretended to becalm.

Why was she being so hard on herself?

Wynn was not Philip, so she would naturally take some time to digest everything.

“You won’t be used to it at first. That’s human nature. But you’ll get used to it later.”

“Later?”

Wynn frowned, not understanding what Philip meant.

Could this happen again?

“Or else? Just think about it. The profits of this new anti-cancer drug are unprecedentedly huge. Thereare more than a handful of people staring at Beacon as well as big and small schemers. Do you thinkit’s going to be peaceful? That’s absolutely impossible.”

“How could this be…”

Wynn mumbled under her breath. If she knew this was going to happen, the company would not havestudied any new anti-cancer drugs.

If she had to live under such circumstances for the rest of her life… Wynn’s scalp tingled just thinkingabout it!

“But you don’t have to worry too much. I’m here. Just continue to be Chairwoman Johnston safely andtake care of the company. I’ll take care of the other matters.”

Wynn glanced at Philip, read the sense of security in his eyes, and said, “Thank you, Phil. Let me buyyou dinner.”

“Buy me dinner?”

“Mm.”

“When?”

“Tomorrow night.”

For a moment, a satisfied smile appeared on Philip’s face.

“Sure, okay.”

Philip pillowed his head on his arms, humming a little tune with his leg propped.

Wynn glanced at the cheerful Philip and said with contempt, “Are you really that happy?”

“Of course!”

Philip said excitedly, “My wife is buying me dinner. Should I be crying instead of laughing?”

Wynn glanced at him and said, “Wipe your drool.”

Philip was still basking in his joy when he suddenly sat upright and said, “By the way, we still have onething left to do.”

“What is it?”

Looking at Philip’s solemn eyes, Wynn frowned slightly. She vaguely felt that something was wrong butshe could not pinpoint it exactly.

“We have to continue the investigation.”

Philip looked at Wynn with a trace of severity in his eyes. He looked totally different from the carefreeattitude he displayed just now.

At this time, Wynn recalled what Philip had said earlier.

In this incident, it was obvious that the other party came prepared, so it was impossible not to have abackup plan.

If the previous two assassins were only testing the waters, then it was very likely that there was a thirdperson hidden in the dark!

If the third person chose to take action when Beacon Group was negligent, things would end up verybad.

“Start the investigation now? If someone is really hiding in secret, won’t they have escaped already?”

Wynn could not grasp Philip’s meaning. She glanced at the time. It was already after three in theafternoon.

If Philip wanted to replace the person hidden in the dark, why did he not do it in the morning after theincident happened but waited until now?

The ship had probably sailed by now.

“You don’t understand. This is a delaying tactic!” Philip continued to explain, “Just think of it this way. Ifwe started investigating in the morning, then the guy in the dark would probably choose to stop ormaybe even run away. But if we choose to relax our vigilance, then the guy in the dark will definitelychoose the time to make another move!”

“What you said makes sense, but what should we do now?”
