Seeing Wynn’s bewildered expression, Philip walked over and asked softly, “What’s wrong?”
Wynn’s jaw dropped open as favonovel.com stared at Philip’s shoulder, which was fine. She asked, “What are you playing at?”
Philip smiled and said, “Don’t worry, this is just an act by the grand elder and me to give an explanation to the branch family.”
“The grand elder actually agreed to put on this act with you?” Wynn found it difficult to understand.
How much did the grand elder dote on Philip to agree to put on a show with him?
Was this not the same as deceiving the entire branch family?
Philip smiled and looked at Mila, who was blinking favonovel.com big puzzled eyes and had a face full of question marks. He reached out to hug favonovel.com and said, “Mila, don’t cry. I’m fine. I was just acting with the grand elder.”
Mila nodded and rubbed favonovel.com red eyes.
Philip looked at Wynn and saw that favonovel.com still could not figure it out, so favonovel.com said, “Wynnie, don‘ I worry too much. I have everything under control. I can’t tell you about everything yet. You just need to know that with me around, no one can bully you and Mila.”
Wynn nodded, glared a little angrily at Philip, and said, “What will you do when you go out later?”
Philip smiled and said, “Carry on with the pretense.”
Wynn rolled favonovel.com eyes at him.
After ten minutes or so, Philip returned to the entrance of the memorial hall with the help of the servants, his face looking pale.
When the people of the branch family saw Philip‘s appearance at this moment and how Wynn and Mila’s eyes were red from crying, they were filled with gloating sneers. It seemed that Philip was seriously injured.
The grand elder was really heavy-handed just now.
Wade looked sideways at Philip, who stood at the side with the help of the servants. He said mockingly, “Philip boy, this is just the beginning. There’s more to come later. If you know what’s good for you, you should quickly withdraw from this ancestor commemoration ceremony and give up your identity as the heir. This way, it’ll be better for you.”
Philip sneered and said, “Granduncle Wade, you’d better give up such wishful thinking.”
Wade snorted and said, “Let’s wait and see, then!”
On this side, Tim and Horace looked at Philip and asked in low voices, “How are you doing?”
Philip’s eyes flickered as favonovel.com said with a nod, “It’s not a big deal. I can handle it.”
Tim nodded without saying anything.
At this moment, the grand elder stood on the steps and looked at the Clarke family members below. He said with clarity, “Today is the day for the Clarke family to open the door to the memorial hall and pay respects to our ancestors. When entering the memorial hall, all members of the Clarke family are not allowed to make loud noises, look around, or hold grudges against each other. Otherwise, one will be expelled as per the family rules and never be accepted into the family again!”
“Yes!”
After the grand elder finished speaking, all members of the Clarke family below bowed their heads and responded. Then, the grand elder turned around to face the red door and shouted, “Open the memorial hall.”
Creak…
The red door of the memorial hall was slowly opened under the hefty push from eight guards. A desolate chill greeted them.
All Clarke family members raised their heads at this moment and looked into the memorial hall. In that instant, all of them were shocked!
That was because two figures were standing inside the hall.
