The First Heir

Chapter 70

Should he pick up the call?

Philip was confused. He called Agnes and told her what was going on. He said, “Muddle through this.”

Agnes nodded and motioned with her hands to signify ‘okay’. She answered the call gracefully, “Hello, who’s this?”

On the other side of the phone, Wynn was clearly shocked. She did not expect the other party to be a woman.

Plus, her voice sounded nice.

However, at the same time, she let out a sigh of relief. It was not him.

Had she been overthinking?

Hehe, right.

Would she not know what kind of person Philip was?

She pathetically came up with that illusion despite that.

“Hello, Mrs. Clarke. I am Wynn Johnston. Maybe you don’t know me, but I was saved in Celestial Club that day thanks to you.” Wynn had prepared a speech on how to thank her.

“Oh, it’s fine. I’m just happy to help. We’re all women, and I hate it when men force women to do dirty things,” Agnes said. She was skilled in making conversation.

As she said that, she glanced at Philip who was giving her a thumbs up.

Why was he hiding this from his wife?

“Um, Mrs. Clarke, do you have time? I want to treat you to a meal.” Wynn asked probingly. Then, she explained hurriedly, “Don’t worry. I just want to thank you.”

Agnes did not reply immediately. She looked at Philip and moved her lips slightly. She whispered, “She said she wants to treat you to a meal. Yes or no?”

Philip shook his head.

Agnes smiled and replied, “Alright, I’m a little busy recently. I’ll get in touch with you when I have time.”

Actually, Agnes did not even overthink it.

She thought Philip had fought with Wynn and they were having a cold war between themselves.

She wanted to help them make amends.

“Really? That’s great.” Wynn sounded happy.

“Yeah, I have something I need to take care of. I’m going to hang up now.” Agnes hung up the phone after she said that. She smiled at Philip and tilted her head. “How did I do?”

Philip’s face fell. Agnes was taking things into her own hands.

However, he could not say anything about that. He could only shake his head and sigh helplessly. “Never mind. Let’s just leave it this way. But please don’t make decisions for me in the future, okay? I can’t tell anyone about my identity yet, including Wynn.”

Agnes was shocked. She lost her train of thought instantly. She bowed and apologized. “Mr. Clarke, I… I thought you had a fight with Miss Johnston and that’s why…”

Agnes’ eyes were watery. She looked like she was extremely aggrieved.

Philip did not want to scold her anyway, so he smiled and said, “It’s fine. Just don’t do this again.”

Then, they turned around and walked into Arc de Triumph Hotel.

Tonight, Philip decided to treat the staff of his company to a meal as a reward.

When everyone got here, Philip downed his drink.

Everyone was curious about how Philip got so rich all of a sudden.

“Don’t look at me like that. I’m just a normal person. As for the money, they were left for me by my father. I’m still the old Philip even though I’m rich. We’re still friends.” Philip smiled. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

“Philip, what are you talking about? You became rich and you bought our company for ten million bucks. I’ve never seen you spend money like this.”

“Right, but to be honest, you did such a good job of hiding it, Philip. Are you those secretly rich men who only appear in novels?”

His old colleagues laughed and said. They were hiding a great deal of flattery in their sentences.

They had no choice. When one became a dragon, millions would want to pay their respects.

If even a guy like Philip could become rich, why could they not?

However, this was reality.

Aside from flattery, they could not do anything else.

Before this, Philip had been poor, so they could talk freely. It was different now. They added more respect and flattery in their words.

Philip understood that and addressed this issue. “Alright guys, stop flattering me. Don’t you guys know what kind of person I am? Aside from Wilson who always targeted me, everyone else treated me quite well. I remember all of those. It has nothing to do with being rich or not. It’s just a word. I won’t forget about you guys because I have what I have right now. Also, I won’t treat you guys unfairly.

“So, today, aside from this meal, I also have some little presents for you guys.”
