The first heir novel (Master Yu Who Smokes)

Reed frowned and said with a nod, "Well, Cody Crane was once a famous character with fame no less than the five marquises. He once had the reputation that the world would tremble under his feet." 'The world would tremble under his feet?' Philip frowned.

Reed shook his head and said, "Forget it, it's best if you don't get involved with this person. However, since your grandfather said so, you can look for him if you really get into any trouble. Maybe you can get some unexpected results."

"Okay..." Philip nodded, glanced at the letter in his hand, and said, "I'll leave Fernvale to you, then."

Reed smiled and said, "I just received an order from the Imperial Preceptor. He's ready to make a move against Fernvale, so I'm not helping you but simply carrying out his orders."

"The Imperial Preceptor wants to make a move against Fernvale?" Philip asked.

Reed said, "Yes, he has lost patience with the situation here in Fernvale. Time is running out for those troublemakers."

Hearing that, Philip smiled. Then, he left Reed's room and returned to his room.

At night, after Philip finished his shower, he walked out of the bathroom in a robe while drying his hair. Suddenly, he saw a woman in his room.

A delicate woman... Cynthia Larson?

She was wearing a black lace nightgown and sitting next to the bed. She looked at Philip with seductive eyes.

"Why are you here?" Philip was a little awkward.

This atmosphere was not right. Those emotional eyes of Cynthia made him uneasy all over.

Cynthia got up, pounced into Philip's arms, hugged him, and said, "Be with me tonight. I don't want to miss anything..."

Philip was anxious. He tried to push Cynthia away and said, "Are you crazy? You're a Larson. We can't..."

Cynthia hugged Philip tightly and said, "No, I'm not. My father told me that he picked me up from the outside. I don't have the Larson family's bloodline."

After saying that, Cynthia looked up at Philip with tears in her eyes.

Philip was dumbfounded. Cynthia was actually picked up by Hogan from the outside?

"But it's impossible between us!"

Philip pushed Cynthia away. He could not let Wynn down.

Cynthia hugged Philip tightly from behind again and said, "Philip, I know that I've never had a place in your heart, but my heart is full of you. I once told myself to forget you, but I can't do it at all. Philip, please, just stay with me tonight. After tonight, I'll definitely forget you!"

In the end, Cynthia was already crying.

Philip sighed helplessly, turned around, grabbed Cynthia by her shoulders, and said seriously, "Cynthia, I know your feelings, but there's no place in my heart for anyone else."

Cynthia looked at Philip's serious eyes and laughed. She stumbled two steps back and said, "I know, and I understand, but I won't give up. Philip, just answer my question. Don't you like me at all?"

Philip was speechless. He looked at Cynthia's crying face and said, "No, I've always regarded you as a friend..."

Cynthia laughed at herself, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "I see. Thank you for telling me the truth."

After saying that, Cynthia turned around and ran out of the room.

Philip looked at her back and said helplessly, "Actually, you're more than a friend..."

Fennel stood at the door with his arms crossed. Seeing this scene, he shrugged and said, "Don't you want to go after her?"

Philip rolled his eyes at him and said, "I'm not that kind of person."

Fennel said helplessly, "Cynthia is quite nice."

Philip did not answer but asked instead, "What about the thing I asked you to do?"

Fennel held a document in his hand and said, "Steven just sent this. We've found some information about the organization that Hannah belongs to."
