The First Heir by Master Yu Who Smokes

Chapter 612

Philip was supposed to meet Cynthia in a western restaurant. Cynthia, who was here early, was dressed very simply, but her

appearance was not inferior to other women because of her good image and poise. Even in just a simple white dress, she was

like a lotus flower in the water, attracting the eyes of most men in the restaurant. Cynthia noticed Philip walking in from the door

and waved happily with a smile on her face. Philip also waved briefly and walked through the crowd toward Cynthia. He pulled

out the chair and sat down. Cynthia grinned and handed him the menu. “This restaurant is newly opened. There are a lot of

delicious dishes. You can look through the menu and see if anything interests you.” Philip obliged. He picked up the menu and

thought for a long time before he ordered a few dishes casually. “That’s it. I don’t really know what to eat.” After that, Philip finally

asked, “Cynthia, why are you looking for me? Is something wrong?” Larson family of Fernvale, his mother’s family. Philip had

been looking for information secretly, but the area of Fernvale was different from any other city on the mainland. It was very

complicated. There were many forces and many foreign ones too. Besides, over the years, the Larson family had deliberately

avoided the mainland. They even cut off all their businesses and resolutely withdrew from the mainland market. Philip could not

understand the reason.

What exactly happened back then to cause such a major force second only to the Clarke family to break off their ties in order to

protect themselves?

“It’s the same matter as before, I wish to talk to your wife.” Cynthia did not beat around the bush and

directly stated her intentions. This piqued Philip’s curiosity. “Is this your wish or the Larson family’s

wish?” Cynthia said,

“The Larson family knows that Beacon has a new type of anti-cancer drug that’s very promising and

valuable in the domestic and foreign markets.

Since you’ve been with your wife for so long, you must be aware of this. If this medicine is marketed

nationwide and introduced abroad, the value it’ll bring will not be tens of billions of dollars but

thousands of trillions. With such huge profits, we’ll inevitably be interested. Of course, there are both

pros and cons. By that time, Beacon will not only face the competition from the pharmaceutical

companies in Riverdale but also the crazed encroachment of more forces from all over the country and

the world.”

Cynthia said a lot in one go. She also told Philip about the current situation in Beacon. In fact, Philip

had started paying close attention to this issue early on, which was why he transferred Buffer from

abroad. Currently, Beacon was holding the golden key to open a whole new world. In the future, there

would be more people who would have ideas about Beacon. Michaels family of Golden City, Quaid

family of Capital City, Wallis family, and also Larson family of Fernvale. “What you’re saying is, the

Larson family will help us?” Philip was not in a hurry and asked after a sip of tea. Cynthia laughed

lightly and said, “That’s right. Although the Larson family has withdrawn from the mainland, our

foundation from over the years is still there. As long as we cooperate, we’ll mutually benefit from this

cooperation and can open up a new world. By that time, you and your wife can just sit and count your

money while hundreds of billions and trillions flow into your hands.” Cynthia was very excited, but what

she said was also true. This was the future value of Beacon’s new drug. Philip had already established

this fact with Buffer and the rest. “Your suggestion is very good, but I need to consider it again. After all,

I can’t make the decision. I have to discuss it with my wife when I return. You know, I’m just someone

who lives off my wife.” Philip smiled as a sign of refusal. The thing was, he was not familiar with the

Larson family and did not know what they were up to. Cynthia stared at Philip and felt very curious

about him. She said, “You’re a very special man. This is the first time I’ve met a man who’d say that so

matter-of-factly.” Philip chuckled. Cynthia had investigated Philip and found him to be a useless person.

To describe his characteristics, he was cowardly and afraid of his wife as well as his mother-in-law. He

was a notorious good-for-nothing in Riverdale. Oh, but he could fight. She had witnessed it herself

during dinner with Melody the other day. It was such a guy who actually beat someone from the Hane

family of Capital City, the young master of Golden City’s Michaels family, and the second young master

of the Quaid family of Capital City. The entire Quaid family was still in an uproar. If Cynthia had not

suppressed this matter through the Larson family, Philip would most probably be dead by now. “I’m

really curious to find out exactly who you are. I recall that there was a rumor about a prestigious rich

second-generation in Riverdale not long ago. I wonder if it’s you.” Cynthia asked suddenly and fixed

her gaze on Philip. “Who?” Philip laughed as he asked.

“The young master of Clarke Group in Capital City, Young Master Clarke,”

Cynthia said. She stared at Philip, hoping to see something from his expression.
