The Black Gold Rose generally never appeared in Clarke Manor because it was an external battle cavalry. With great military exploits all over the world, they were an invincible existence.
Their presence was a signal. There would be a massacre!
For the Black Gold Rose to appear in the Clarkes’ ancestral hall, it posed a bad foreboding.
Morrow even thought of retreating.
Black Gold Rose escorted Philip, Wynn, Mila, and Nelson in the incubator to stand in the hall. Wynn wanted to struggle. She could not figure out why her father-in-law was doing this. Was he really going to carry out the so-called trial and punishment upon her and Philip?
Thus, Wynn immediately shouted, “Father-in-law, it has nothing to do with Philip. It’s my fault that this is all happening. I’m willing to bear all the consequences.”
Philip glanced sideways at Wynn, whose face was full of tears. She was still thinking on his behalf until now. With a gentle smile, Philip whispered to Wynn, “Wynnie, it‘s alright. I’m here.”
Wynn looked at Philip as Mila continued to cry in her arms. She said, “Phil, I’m scared.”
Philip shook his head and turned to Roger on the high platform.
Roger sternly looked at Philip and Wynn, as well as the two kids below. He said, “The branch family is judging you with a blood petition. Philip Clarke, do you admit your guilt?”
“Guilt? What guilt?”
Philip chuckled and said tersely, “I’m the heir of the Clarke family, Wynn Johnston is my lawful wife, and Mila and Nelson are my children. They’re not descendants of the sinned blood but the descendants of the Clarke family! She’s the honorable young madam of the Clarke family! Whoever slanders them like this is making an enemy out of me, Philip Clarke, and the entire Clarke family. They should be killed!”
