Chapter 2037

It was just brief eye contact. Philip did not have much of an impression of Lex. The number of times he met Lex could be counted on one hand. Besides, Lex seldom did anything influential in the branch family and his reputation was so-so.

At this moment, a man in a black outfit with burly muscles stood behind Lex.

Next to him was a charming woman in a short purple dress, a pair of black high heels, and her hair was in a high ponytail.

“Second Young Master, aren’t you going to take a look?” the woman said, her voice soft.

A delicate chill flashed in Lex’s eyes as he smiled and said, “Of course, why not? It’s so interesting. It’d be a waste to miss it.”

As soon as he said that, the burly man in black attire straightened up from the wall he was leaning against and said, “Let me check out the situation first.”

Lex shook his head and said, “No need. No one will make a move against me at this time. Just go with ease and confidence.”

After saying that, Lex stared at Philip who was already walking toward the branch family’s memorial hall. He softly murmured under his breath, “Philip Clarke, I’m looking forward to you kicking up a storm in the branch family. For me, this is a godsend opportunity.”

Following that, Lex turned around as he left this villa and headed to the branch family’s memorial hall.

Back to the branch family’s memorial hall. Inside the hall, several elders of the branch family had arrived.

Salem Clarke and Hansel Clarke were already sitting in wait. Next to them and on both sides of the hall, several heads and people in charge were also sitting and waiting.

Many young masters and young ladies of the branch family had fought their way through the crowd to get inside. After bowing and greeting several elders, they obediently stood aside and quietly waited for the upcoming good show.

Hansel’s eyes were slightly cold as he sat on the chair. His face seemed to be covered with frost, and his demeanor made others feel oppressed. On the side, Salem was constantly snacking on seeds and nuts. He even asked the servants to distribute fruit platters to the young masters and young ladies of the branch family.

This made him seem very approachable.

“Salem, Philip will be coming soon, so you should stop eating. It won’t leave a good impact.”

Hansel glanced at Salem with a frown and reminded softly.

Salem chuckled and said, “Okay, I won’t eat anymore.”

With that said, he asked the servants to clear the table before he clapped his hands and sat upright.

“By the way, how is Morrow doing? Can Dr. Garfield Gates do anything?” Suddenly, Hansel asked.

Salem shook his head and said, “That problem of Morrow’s is an old ailment. Dr. Gates has indicated that time is running out.”

Hearing that, Hansel frowned and clenched his fists resentfully. He said grimly, “It’s all because of Philip. If he didn’t disrespect the branch family, Morrow wouldn’t have gotten angry and suffered a relapse! This time, I’ll make sure that Philip kneels and admits his sins to the branch family!”

Salem nodded without saying anything.

Suddenly, a servant ran in from the door, knelt on the floor, and said, “Old Masters, they have arrived.”

“Good!”

Hansel answered with a cough, and the noisy memorial hall immediately fell silent.

Everyone’s eyes were focused at the entrance of the memorial hall at this moment. Sure enough, a leisurely figure with his hands in his trouser pockets appeared in the sight of the crowd. He looked so nonchalant when he walked right in as if he was shopping.

Behind him was the Griffin Army.

Hiss!

Everyone gasped.
