The First Heir by Master Yu Who Smokes

Chapter 2596
Roger walked in, looking much better, his complexion was rosier, but he was thinner.

Philip looked up with an aloof expression and asked, “Are you feeling better?”

Roger smiled kindly, glanced at his son, and said, “Much better. It’s the first time you’re showing concern for me.”

Philip frowned and said stubbornly, “You think too much. I don’t care about you.”

Seeing this, Fennel shook his head helplessly. He bowed slightly to Roger and said, “Patriarch Clarke, are you sure you want to do this?”

Roger walked over, looked at Fennel with admiration, and said, “I’m sure. The Lovelace family’s affairs are the Clarke family’s affairs. The affairs of the Lovelace family are related to the future direction of the world. Time is running out for us, and I want to find out what the Lovelace family has been up to over the years. I also hope to see some old friends whom I haven’t seen for a long time.”

Fennel frowned and asked, “I thought you didn’t know much about the Lovelace family either?”

Roger smiled and said, “The Lovelace family has taken precautions against the Clarke family. Many times, I may not know as much as you. I more or less know about everything this time, so just ahead and do it. If anything happens, I’ll take care of it. As long as I’m alive, the Lovelace family won’t dare to do anything.”

Then, Roger said to Philip, “I need to speak to you.”

Hearing this, Fennel winked at Georgina, and the two left the room.

In the huge room, Philip remained with a cold face. Roger coughed violently. A trace of anger flashed in Philip’s eyes, but he still stepped forward, helped Roger to sit on the sofa, and said, “You’re not well yet. What are you doing out? I’ll find a way to deal with the Lovelace family.”

Roger sat on the sofa with Philip’s help and said with a smile, “You’ll find a way? What else can you do? Are you going to rely on the Shadow Guards or your Legion of the Sovereign? Will you rely on Fennel?”

Hearing this, Philip’s expression turned ugly. He looked at Roger with a frown and said, “Do you really look down on me that much? In your opinion, I can’t find my own solution?”

Roger chuckled and said, “Son, I’m not looking down on you, but you still have a lot of room to grow. What you’re facing now is definitely not like those petty fights in the past. Before this, you were willful. The people and incidents you encountered before could perhaps be solved with money and the power of the Clarke family. However, the people and forces you’re facing now are no longer limited to secular definitions. Even if the Clarke family controls 70% of the world‘s economic power, that’s jointly owned by the main and branch families. The main family owns 30% and the branch family owns 20%, while the remaining 20% is controlled by the other branches. The intricacy and complexity of all this are not as simple as you think.”

After listening, Philip said grimly, “All of it belongs to the Clarke family, so why the differentiation? That’s why I don’t like the way you manage the household. The Clarke family should be controlled by one person, and there must only be one spokesperson. Otherwise, such a large family will fall apart sooner or later.”

Roger nodded and said, “Phil, your thoughts coincided with mine when I was young, but many times, many things can’t be solved easily. The Clarke family could survive to this day only because of these side branches that allowed us to grow and expand. It’s also inevitable that things will go out of hand when left unchecked.”

“Nonetheless, I do agree with what you said. But I’m old and don’t have so much time and energy to rectify the Clarke family. I only hope that you can make drastic reforms, hold the Clarke family firmly in your hands, and create a new Clarke family. This is what I want to see the most.”

After saying that, Roger’s eyes seemed to flicker before he patted his thigh and said, “Let’s leave this topic and talk about your opinion about the Lovelace family. It’s impossible for you to deal with the Lovelace family by yourself. The trump cards you hold in your hands right now may be powerful enough in the eyes of outsiders, but to me or the Lovelace family, they’re nothing but child’s play. There’s no longer a need for so many rules in this world. Only the strong are the law, and only the strong can change the rules. The Lovelace family has been hiding underground for so many years, and it’s not as if I’ve never tried to track them down. But I’m unable to deal with their problems too. Like the Clarke family, the Lovelace family has a long history. If you really want to deal with them, now isn’t the time yet. Your strength is still lacking.”

Chapter 2597
Philip frowned, looked at Roger, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and said, “Then I’ll become stronger. Sooner or later, I’ll get rid of the Lovelace family! Not for the sake of your great righteousness but for Wynn’s sake!”

Roger smiled and said, “You’re quite devoted.”

Philip glanced at Roger. The latter thought for a moment and said, “I already know what happened to Wynn. In fact, this matter has little to do with the Lovelace family. It was Wynn’s decision. If she wants to understand the Lovelace family, become a part of them, or even get her hands on them, she must forget everything from the past and completely integrate into the Lovelace family. When you left the country to come here, Wynn once approached me to discuss this matter. This is what she left behind for you.”

With that said, Roger took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Philip. He got up, patted Philip on the shoulder, and said, “Read it carefully. Besides your mother and me, Wynn is definitely the one who loves you the most in this world.”

After saying that, Roger left.

Philip stood there with the letter in his hand. He hesitated for a while before he opened the letter.

“Phil, by the time you read this letter, I may have already forgotten about you. This is my choice. Don’t be sad, and don’t do anything for me. I want to know more about the Lovelace family, and I want to help you. This is my only way. Maybe one day, we’ll meet in a crowd and I’ll no longer recognize you, but you must know that I love you. That will never change. You, Mila, and Nelson will forever be my favorite people.”

“Phil, this is my last request for you. Don’t challenge the Lovelace family for my sake. I didn‘t know before, but now I understand that the Lovelace family is not as simple as you think. Remember, take good care of Mila and Nelson. From Wynn who loves you.”
