Invincible Heir novel Chapter 27

Henry was all smiles seeing the mound of loot Phillip brought back.

“Good work, Phillip. When this crisis is over, I’m passing the position of head of the clan to you,” he said.

At that, those of the Perry Clan gave a start.

Overjoyed, Phillip said hastily, “Thank you, Granddad! When I take over the clan, I’ll lead us to even greater heights!”

“Hah! Good, very good!” Henry laughed aloud.

“This is one big laurel you’ve brought back this time, Phillip. Our clan’s troubles are finally over.”

“Like I said, Phillip’s the only rightful heir to the head of the clan. Only he’s suited to lead us!”

“I fully support Phillip’s succession to the head of the clan.”

…...

Soon enough, everyone was kissing up to Phillip.

Pleased, Phillip forced a humble smile. “The credit belongs to the whole of the family. From now on, we’ll climb our way to the elite.”

“Well said!” Henry’s gaze was full of confidence.

Just as the clan was collectively envisioning a brighter future, Nancy the secretary rushed in in a panic. “Chairman, sir, Steward Davis from the Honna Group is here.”

“He’s coming here himself?” Shock registered on Henry’s face.

The Honna Group was the largest collaborator with the Perry Clan. It could be said that the Perry Clan had only remained standing in large part due to their relationship with this company.

Before Nancy could answer, several figures approached. In the lead was the Chairman of the Honna Group himself – Steward Davis.

A buttery smile on his face, Henry walked up and extended his hand for a shake. “It’s a great honor for our clan for you to come here yourself, Mr. Davis. Welcome, welcome.”

Ignoring Henry’s proffered hand, Steward mocked, “I don’t think you’d be so enthusiastic if you knew why I was here, Mr. Perry.”

Henry frowned slightly and asked with a nervous chuckle, “You jest, sir. You’re such an important business partner – why wouldn’t I welcome you with open arms?”

Steward sat himself right at the head of the table and tossed out a file holder. “This is a statement of dissolution of collaboration between the Honna Group and the Perry Clan. Look through it if you would, Mr. Perry. If there are no issues, hurry up and sign.”

“What?”

Everyone present of the Perry Clan was struck dumb at the news.

Henry, in particular, was astonished. “Mr. Davis, have our two parties not always enjoyed a smooth collaboration? Why the sudden dissolution? If you’re unhappy with the terms of our contract, we can make some changes; give you more room for profit.”

“I’m here in person. Do you really think we’re backing down now?” Steward sneered.

Phillip understood the meaning of Steward’s presence. He was here today solely to dissolve the contract. There was no chance that the Perry Clan was going to negotiate their way out of this. His anger began to show. “Mr. Davis, even if you’re dissolving the contract, you have to at least give us a fitting reason!”

“Kid, the grown-ups are talking. Sit back down in your corner, will you?” Steward smirked, treating Phillip as just another inconsequential nuisance.

“What - what do you mean by that?” Phillip’s temper flared.

“Shut it!”
