Chapter 2219


    Seeing Wynn’s bewildered expression, Philip walked over and asked softly, “What’s wrong?”


    Wynn’s jaw dropped open as she stared at Philip’s shoulder, which was fine. She asked, “What are you


    ying at?”


    Philip smiled and said, “Don’t worry, this is just an act by the grand elder and me to give an exnation


    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 M, who was blinking her big puzzled eyes and had a face full of question


    marks. He reached out to hug her and said, “M, don’t cry. I’m fine. I was just acting with the grand


    elder.”


    M nodded and rubbed her red eyes.


    Philip looked at Wynn and saw that she still could not figure it out, so he 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 M.”


    Wynn nodded, red a little angrily at Philip, and said, “What will you do when you go outter?”


    Philip smiled and said, “Carry on with the pretense.”


    Wynn rolled her 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


    M’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 toeter. If you know what’s good for you, you


    should quickly withdraw from this ancestormemoration 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 he 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 rke family members below. He


    said with rity, “Today is the day for the rke family to open the door to the memorial hall and pay


    respects to our ancestors. When entering the memorial hall, all members of the rke 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 epted into the family again!”


    “Yes!”

    After the grand elder finished speaking, all members of the rke 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


    deste chill greeted them.


    All rke 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.
