PHILIP SCOTT: THE LOST HEIR CHAPTER 66
Jessica felt a heavy weight settle in her chest as her father’s hand rested on her shoulder. The warmth of his touch was a stark contrast to the coldness in his eyes, and she knew that she had just stepped into a world from which there might be no return. She had convinced him, for now, but she knew better than to believe that Andrew Lane would ever fully trust anyone—not even his own daughter.“Thank you, Father,” Jessica said, her voice steady despite the turmoil inside her. She stood up, mirroring his movements, and tried to match the same confidence in her posture. “I won’t let you down.”Andrew’s smile didn’t reach his eyes. “See that you don’t. There’s much work to be done, and I’ll be expecting results soon.”Jessica nodded. “Of course.”Andrew turned away from her, his attention shifting back to the papers on his desk, dismissing her as if the conversation had never happened. Jessica took that as her cue to leave. She walked out of the study, her footsteps echoing in the empty
PHILIP SCOTT: THE LOST HEIR CHAPTER 67
Philip sat in his office, the weight of recent events pressing heavily on his shoulders. The loss of Barry Aton was still fresh, and the revelation about Jessica being his cousin had shaken him to his core. He hadn’t slept much since then, the memories of his relationship with Jessica mixing painfully with the new knowledge of their blood ties.The board meeting was just an hour away, and Philip knew that his leadership would be scrutinized more than ever. The investors were already nervous, and with Andrew Lane’s persistent attempts to take over, Aton Empire was on shaky ground. Philip needed to be at his best, but the emotional turmoil inside him made it hard to focus.He glanced at the pile of reports on his desk, each one demanding his attention. The company was losing ground, and without decisive action, it could all fall apart. But the thought of facing the board, of dealing with the men who would question his every move, made him feel like he was about to step into a lion’s den
PHILIP SCOTT: THE LOST HEIR CHAPTER 68
Philip and Jessica walked down the corridor towards the boardroom, the weight of the situation pressing heavily on their shoulders. Philip could feel the tension between them, not just from their complicated personal history but also from the looming presence of Andrew Lane, Jessica’s father and a man determined to take down Aton Empire.As they approached the boardroom, the large wooden doors stood like a barrier between them and the chaos that awaited inside. Philip took a deep breath, trying to calm his nerves. He knew that this meeting was crucial. The investors were already jittery, and with the recent events, they would be looking to him for answers, for leadership.Jessica hesitated before they reached the door, her hand lightly touching Philip’s arm. “Philip, before we go in… I just want to say, no matter what happens in there, I’m with you. We’ll get through this.”Philip nodded, appreciating the sentiment, but he couldn’t shake the feeling of unease. Jessica’s words were com
PHILIP SCOTT: THE LOST HEIR CHAPTER 69
The night after the tense board meeting, Philip found himself in the dimly lit study of the Aton mansion. He sat in the old leather chair, his fingers idly tracing the worn edges of the desk. The room, filled with bookshelves and relics of the past, felt like a sanctuary, but even here, the weight of his responsibilities pressed down on him.He couldn't stop replaying Andrew Lane's words in his mind: "You're a kite dancing in a hurricane." The phrase gnawed at him, its meaning deeper than just a simple threat. Andrew was a dangerous man, not just because of his ruthless business tactics, but because he knew how to get inside people's heads, to shake their confidence.Philip poured himself a drink, the amber liquid swirling in the glass as he tried to drown out his doubts. Jessica had been strong during the meeting, standing by his side despite everything. But he knew that their alliance was fragile, built on a shared history that was both a blessing and a curse.As he took a sip, the

Philip hurried through the dimly lit hallways of the mansion, his footsteps echoing against the marble floors. The urgency in the staff member’s voice had set his pulse racing, and he couldn’t shake the feeling that something significant was about to unfold.As they reached the front gate, Philip’s breath formed a mist in the cold night air. The security lights cast eerie shadows on the gravel driveway, illuminating the figure waiting just outside the gate. The man was tall and disheveled, his clothes appearing to have seen better days. He seemed out of place in the polished surroundings of the Aton mansion.The security guard, who had been standing watch, stepped aside as Philip approached. “Mr. Aton, this man claims to have crucial information about Mr. Lane.”Philip eyed the stranger warily. “What’s your name, and what do you know?”The man looked up, his eyes filled with a mixture of fear and desperation. “My name is Tom. I used to work for Andrew Lane. I have information that cou
PHILIP SCOTT: THE LOST HEIR CHAPTER 72
The room felt colder, as if the very presence of the man sitting across from Philip had sucked the warmth out of the air. Philip’s mind was a whirlwind of confusion and dread. He had buried the past, or so he thought, but now it was resurfacing with a vengeance.The man leaned back in the chair, his eyes never leaving Philip. “I see you’re surprised to see me, Philip,” he said with a smirk. “I can’t blame you. After all, it’s been quite some time.”Philip’s throat was dry, but he managed to speak. “What are you doing here? How did you find me?”The man chuckled, a sound that sent a shiver down Philip’s spine. “Oh, come now, Philip. You didn’t think you could hide forever, did you? I’ve been keeping an eye on you, watching as you tried to rebuild your life. But the past has a way of catching up, doesn’t it?”Philip took a deep breath, trying to steady himself. “What do you want?”The man’s smile faded, replaced by a look of cold determination. “What I want is simple. I want what’s mine
PHILIP SCOTT: THE LOST HEIR CHAPTER 73
Philip’s nerves were on edge as he sat in his office, staring blankly at the documents in front of him. The room, usually a place of focus and control, now felt suffocating. The meeting with the man had left him rattled, his mind plagued by the ominous threat. His thoughts kept circling back to Jessica. What did the man mean by "give my regards to Jessica"? Was she in more danger than he realized? He couldn’t shake the uneasy feeling that something terrible was about to happen.He grabbed his phone and dialed Jessica’s number, his heart pounding with each passing ring. But just like before, the call went straight to voicemail. Frustrated, he slammed the phone down on his desk. He couldn’t sit here and do nothing while the man’s words echoed in his mind. He had to find Jessica and make sure she was safe.Without wasting another moment, Philip got up from his chair and left his office. He needed answers, and there was only one person who could give them to him—Andrew Lane. The very thou
PHILIP SCOTT: THE LOST HEIR CHAPTER 74
Philip’s hand trembled as he held the unmarked envelope. The weight of it felt heavier than it should, like it carried the burdens of a thousand secrets. His mind raced with possibilities, each one more terrifying than the last. He had just come from confronting Andrew Lane, and now this—another mystery, another twist in the ever-tightening knot around his life.Taking a deep breath, he tore open the envelope, his eyes scanning the neatly typed words on the single sheet of paper inside. As he read, his heart began to pound harder, each word sending shockwaves through his system.“Philip Scott,You’ve been asking too many questions, getting too close to the truth. This is your final warning. Stay away from Jessica Lane, or you’ll regret it. There are forces at play that you cannot begin to comprehend. If you value your life and the lives of those you care about, you will walk away now.You’ve been warned.”The letter wasn’t signed, but it didn’t need to be. The message was clear, and t
