The First Heir by Master Yu Who Smokes

Chapter 715

The woman who got beaten held her head, her entire face red and swollen.

She staggered to stand up on 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 it over carefully. I’ll give you three days. If you want

to know your mother’s whereabouts, come and look for 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 the latter, 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 find fault with her. If

Philip had not stepped 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 from flowing. She

covered her face as her emotions collapsed. She squatted on the ground, buried her head, and bawled! Philip was frightened out

of his wits, but he knew Cynthia needed to vent, so he did not intend to dissuade her. He called out to the flustered waiter and

asked for two glasses of wine. He sat at the deck 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 tears from her eyes while looking at Philip who was sitting

there nonchalantly. She grabbed the cocktail from his 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 first floor. The events here did not affect the party downstairs. After all, such things

were very common in bars, so no one paid attention. “I don’t know, but I must find 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 you do?”

Philip looked at that forlorn little face and felt distressed as he said, “Beat him to a pulp and force the

words out of him.” Hearing him, she could not help the chuckle from escaping. She rolled her eyes at

him and said, “I have 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 reveal your 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 him some 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 of sadness, “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’ll protect you.” “Mm.” Cynthia

nodded heavily.

Everything that happened tonight was so sudden that she was unprepared and defenseless. Philip

noticed that she was still a little worried and joked, saying, “Don’t worry. With such a handsome guy 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 always

made her feel at ease. Cynthia felt that it was strange.

She and Philip obviously belonged to different worlds, but why did he always 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 glow under the colorful lights. Leaning back on the leather sofa, he took a light sip of the special cocktail. He looked at

the wanton and 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 as possible. Savoring the wine in the glass, Philip gradually became a little
