The First Heir

Chapter 251

Philip ignored Martha and turned his attention to the men standing outside the house. “Do you still want to lay your hands on me?”

Those people exchanged silent looks. When they saw Bob kneeling on the ground, they stepped back without a fuss.

Philip then left the Old Johnston Manor with Wynn.

Before that, Wynn had noticed the situation in the house and asked Philip, “Philip, what did you do to Grandpa? Why is he kneeling on the ground?”

Wynn was shocked!

The scene was simply unbelievable!

Bob was the Old Master of the Yates family!

He was her grandfather, a stubborn old fogey!

However, at that moment, he was kneeling on the ground, and tears could be seen streaming down his cheeks!

Philip… what exactly did he say to the Old Master?

Philip looked at Wynn and said, “I’ll tell you next time. Now, I’ll bring you to the hospital to treat the injuries on your face. If a scar is left, you won’t be beautiful anymore.”

Wynn’s words got stuck in her throat. Looking at one side of Philip’s face, she wanted to ask but eventually refrained from doing so. Thus, she rolled her eyes instead.

He could still say such cheeky words in this situation.

Philip had changed. He was different from before.

Wynn had never experienced such a sense of security before.

It seemed as if Philip was now able to do everything.

That was also precisely why Wynn felt unprecedented pressure.

At the hospital, Wynn got her injuries treated before she and Philip went to accompany Mila in her ward.

Mila would undergo surgery the next day.

Neither Wynn nor Philip fell asleep that night; both of them found themselves lost in their own thoughts.

The next day, the news about the Yates’ bankruptcy spread like wildfire and caused an uproar in Riverdale. Evidently, it became the topic of interest for many people.

The Yates could be considered a second-rate family in Riverdale. Especially since Old Master Bob Yates used to be a senior ranking officer in the provincial system and still had many students even though he was already retired.

Nevertheless, it was that very Yates family that ended up facing bankruptcy in just one night.

Furthermore, the entire Yates household had left the Yates family compound overnight without leaving a single trace of their whereabouts.

As for Bob’s former students, after the incident with the Yates, they unexpectedly and unanimously chose to keep silent. No one stood out on behalf of the Yates.

The news spread quickly like a small earthquake.

Even in the hospital, many people had begun talking about it as the matter was already being covered in the news.

Each and every company under the Yates family had declared bankruptcy.

On TV, Bob seemed to have aged by dozens of years overnight. Additionally, he left hurriedly after announcing the news.

“Philip, tell me, what exactly happened yesterday?”

Wynn was astounded when she heard the news and quickly found Philip who had just returned from shopping.

She could hardly believe that the huge Yates family went bankrupt overnight.

Did Philip really do that?

If so, where did all that power come from?

Philip knew he could not keep it a secret forever, but he was not prepared to confess either. He shook his head and said, “I have no idea. Yesterday, the Old Master received a bunch of calls and that’s it. We didn’t even talk much.”

Wynn was dubious, especially when she saw Philip’s sincere eyes. Hence, she asked again suspiciously, “You really didn’t do it?”

Philip grinned as he bopped her nose and said, “What’re you thinking about. Do I have that kind of ability? If I did, I wouldn’t be looked down upon by your family members in the first place.”

Wynn rolled her eyes and said, “I never looked down on you.”

That was right. If Philip was capable of such a thing, would he have endured such treatment throughout the past three years?

Would he go so far as to suffer the brunt of everyone’s disdain?

Wynn glared at the cheerful Philip before growing somber. “Will there be any problems with Mila’s surgery today?”

Philip held Wynn’s shoulders and comforted her as he said, “Don’t worry, she’ll be fine.”

At 9 a.m., Mila was pushed into the operating room.

Philip and Wynn sat outside the OR, waiting anxiously for Mila to return.

After two hours of surgery, Mila safely made it out of the OR. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Professor Henry Turner took off his mask and said excitedly, “Mr. Clarke, Miss Johnston, the operation was very successful!”

At the announcement, Wynn burst into tears and began crying. She held Henry’s hands in excitement and appreciation. “Professor Turner, thank you. Thank you so much!”

Henry glanced at Philip and said, “It’s only my responsibility to do so. The rest of the rehabilitation will be carried out according to the plan I’ve prepared. After four months, Mila will be able to be discharged from the hospital.”

“Thank you, Professor Turner. You’ve worked very hard.”

Philip thanked him and then took a look at the still sedated Mila through the glass window of the ward with Wynn. Philip’s eyes were full of love.
