The First Heir (First Heir)

chapters 191-200

Chapter 191

Everyone at the birthday party was staring at Wynn with a look of disdain and contempt in their eyes. The gifts Eric and Aaron gave a moment before were very valuable. 

Later, Ted announces the shocking news of reaching the Oasis development project south of Riverdale. He'll make 500 million for Yates! 

Now, it's Wynn's turn. What gifts will her family give her today? Martha sat in her chair, very nervous. He saw what Wynn was holding. It was the box that Philip had previously given him. If Wynn gave that thing to his father, it would be the biggest joke of the century. 

Everyone would look at them as if they were stupid! Eric looked at Wynn with ridicule on his face. He looked at the small box in his hand and the grin on his face grew wider. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Cousin, it's Grandpa's 70th birthday today.

Are you really going to give this little box to him? What valuable things can it hold?" Eric snorted in his head. He saw with his own two eyes that this thing had been given to Wynn by that useless Philip. He had no money and was helpless.

What kind of gift can he give? As he thought about this, his grin grew wider. He was waiting to see Wynn and Philip humiliate themselves. Aaron stood to one side and chimed in cynically, "Cousin, even if you don't have money, you should at least bring some good gifts.

This little thing is gonna be so embarrassing to Aunt Martha. All Yates prizes are strong and prestigious. Plus, Grandpa's friends are here as well. Isn't your gift too simple?" Obviously he wanted to humiliate Wynn. "Enough. Stop this, you two."

Jess can't see this anymore. He looked at the two of them in anger.

Eric and Aaron chose to ignore it. The hatred for their expressions did not diminish in the slightest. Even Ted who was sitting in the hall looked a little helpless as he raised his head and saw Wynn walk in. He used to be close to Wynn when they were kids. 

However, the older they get, the more they distance themselves from each other. After all, he was not one of the Yates. There may be no more connection between them. This is the nature of human relationships. Under everyone's gaze, Wynn walked into the hall and handed the box to Bob. His face was cold as Wynn said, "Grandfather, this is from me and Philip." Wynn believed in Philip.

He would not give the old master such an ordinary gift on such an important occasion.

However, he did not think that it would be something extremely valuable. After all, Philip had run away from home. He won't have much money. Bob nodded and muttered an answer. He didn't even take the box. Wynn feels awkward. Everyone at the table looked at him with a strange expression.

Wynn was very uncomfortable. He put the box down and turned around to leave. Bob didn't give her the red packet. She obviously liked her other grandchildren while discriminating against him.

However, just as Wynn was about to leave, Eric grabbed the box and announced loudly to everyone in the hall, the central square, and the outer courtyard, "Oh? I think it's something valuable. It looks like it's an ornamental thumb ring!

It was also made of jade!" His words were full of provocation. When people saw Eric take out a jade-encrusted thumb ring and place it on his thumb, they laughed together. 

Aaron also chimed in, "What wig? Can our dear cousin buy this? I think it's fake. Did you hear what he said just now? He said he bought this with Philip." "Oh? Right!" Eric pretended to be aware of this. 

Then, he took out a jade-encrusted thumb ring and shouted at Philip who was sitting at the table closest to the door in the outer courtyard, "Philip! Where did you find this?

It looks very old. Did you take this out of the trash and give it to my grandfather?" That is a devastating criticism. Some people looked at Philip with hatred in their eyes. It is clear that Eric and Aaron are not planning to stop bothering Philip.

Philip ignored them. He just drank his tea quietly and ate some food. These idiots don't even know what it is. If they knew the true value of that jade-encrusted thumb ring, would they kneel on the ground and address him as a master? When Eric saw that Philip was unwilling to notice him, he lost interest in provoking him.

Then, he put the ring back into the box and threw the box to one side as if it was trash. Bob just looked at her coldly and said nothing. 

To be honest, one thing that made him happiest today was Ted taking on the Oasis development project south of Riverdale. It was something worth celebrating for Yates. Sure enough, Peter stood up and held his glass.

She said, "Dad, we have three simultaneous happy events in the family today.

I wish you a long and happy life!" Bob could not close his mouth to smile. He grabbed his wand with one hand and his glass with the other. He said, "Well, I'll drink to it."

The party begins and everyone starts to socialize with each other They enjoy themselves very much.

Wynn returned to Philip and began daydreaming while sitting next to him.

He's looking through Yates today. They're hideous. He doesn't like that these guys pay lip service all the time. If possible, he would not want to attend any more family gatherings. Philip sent a message to George.

'Old man George, help me investigate Bob Yates.' After a few seconds, Philip got a reply. 'Young Master, Bob Yates has retired. He used to manage Yates' property and more than half of his collaborations were related to Clarkes. 

The eldest son, Peter Yates, has the power for now, but only one word from you and he will leave. You invest in the youngest son, Samson Yates company, so you own a 70% equity stake. 

Peter's eldest son, Ted Yates, recently took up the Oasis development project south of Riverdale, and I was the one who gave him.." 'F*ck me!' Philip did not expect that most of Yates' projects and companies were all related to him ... It's awkward.

Chapter 192

'Wait for my signal. I don't like Yates.' Philip replied to the message in secret and kept his phone. George is in the chair office of the Apex Group. After he got the message, he raised his eyebrows and asked his secretary to announce this. 

As long as Philip opened his mouth, he would definitely bankrupt the Yates family. These blind fools must have passed the young master. "Philip, what are you doing?" Wynn noticed Philip had been playing around with his phone the entire time, which was why he asked curiously.

"Oh, it's okay. Professor Turner told me that he would arrange Mila's operation for next Wednesday" Philip replied. "Thank you?" Wynn is so excited. He reached into Philip's hands emotionally. Mila is everything to her which mother

want to see their own children suffer? "Yes." Yeah." Philip patted the back of Wynn's hand lovingly. 

"Hey, did you hear that the Oasis development project south of Riverdale was developed by Riverdale's richest man, George Thomas? Ted made us all proud by taking on that project!" "really? I heard the boss behind this project is a world-class nouveau rich man. He's full of spirit!" "Ted's future will be very bright.

It is clear that Bob wants to train him as a third generation heir.

We should lick more with him." The group started chatting excitedly. Their conversation began to heat up. They want to be Ted Yates. "Hey, what's with that useless bum? I heard the Yates family doesn't like him that much."

Suddenly, someone switched the conversation to Philip. "You don't know? Bob's granddaughter, named Wynn there, was pregnant before marriage and the child belonged to the helpless coward. You should know that this is something very embarrassing in Yates Village. 

He ruined the family name and was not at all holy!" "No wonder! So from what you said, Wynn is not a good woman either. Is he... You know? She was so shameless about being pregnant before marriage." In an instant, everyone started to look up.

Philip frowned from their gazes. These people are so defamatory. Especially the middle-aged woman there. Their verbal abuse would make anyone feel uneasy! Wynn lowered his head. Three years ago, she became a family disgrace because of this matter. Everyone started to blame him.

Today, these people are digging into the past again. They stabbed him in the heart with a knife . Philip's face fell as he squeezed Wynn's hand. Then, he got up and walked over to the middle-aged woman who was gossiping.

He took a chair and sat down. He chuckled and said, "Auntie, do you know what kind? people will die with the most terrible death?" When the middle-aged woman saw Philip sitting at their table, they felt a little guilty.

But they are not afraid. They rolled their eyes and shook their heads. Then, they raised their heads.brow and saw him in contempt. They've seen it all now. Philip is only

well-to-what-what. "You're just trash. What right do you have to sit here and talk to us?" One of the women snorted. Destroy it! Philip took out a bottle of wine and smashed it to the ground before bellowing furiously, saying,

"Don't you know what's good for you?! If not for the fact that you were my senior, would you believe that I would slap everyone? and each of you? "You can put anything in your mouth but don't you dare spit out trash. 

Watch mouth. Otherwise, don't blame me for not being easy on you! Nosy whore!" Philip's face was cold, but flames lit up in his eyes. All the middle-aged women on the table were horrified in Philip's imposing manner.

They shut their mouths while feeling guilty. They did not dare to say anything more. However, when he turned his back on them, they began to curse Philip and Wynn furiously. They are so eager to beat them.

Philip returned to his seat. Wynn rolled his eyes at Philip and said, "Why are you fighting them? They don't know anything." Philip smiled lazily and said,

"They spout rubbish. They need to be taught a lesson. You're Philip Clarke's wife. I'll rip out anyone's mouth who dares to bully you."

Wynn's heart warmed and blurred when he heard Philip say that, even though it wasn't something pleasant to hear. Jess sat on the other side. He looked at Philip. It seems this man adores his wife very much. He's not that bad. Back to the main hall. At this moment, everyone is talking about the Oasis development project with heat.

Naturally, Ted became the center of everyone's attention. Bob was greedy, so he drank too much. At the same time, a middle-aged man ran into the main hall of the outer courtyard. His face was excited and panicked.

"O-old master! Something big happened!" The middle-aged man was Bob's secretary. He was in charge of all the external affairs of the Yates family.

business business. He is the one who makes the announcement in case something happens.

Bob frowned and said sadly, "Why are you so panicked?" The middle-aged man did not even wipe his sweat before saying, "One ...

A billion! The company just got a billion dollar investment!"

And suddenly! The room became quiet. No one can trust their ears. A billion dollar investment?

Chapter 193

A billion dollar investment! All Yates assets are only worth 700 to 800 million dollars! Adding Bob's own company with Samson and Ted's company, they only have a little over a billion! This billion dollar investment came out of nowhere! 

How is he not excited? Bob stood up excitedly and widened his eyes. He asked while panting,

"What... What the hell are you saying? Say again!" "Old Master, we got a billion dollar investment!" the middle-aged man finally wiped off his sweat and said with the same excitement.

 In an instant, Bob's face flushed. He raised his head and laughed out loud in the sky. "Great! The Yates family will finally enter the upper class society! A billion dollar investment! Go and find out who is investing in us.

We should invite them here and take good care of them!" This guy must be a very rich billionaire. He should treat her with respect. Bob himself was ready to invite them here.

 The middle-aged man replied, "This is an angel investor. He used the name Mr. Clarke. Old Master, do you know someone by the last name of Clarke?" The middle-aged man was confused.

She has lived with Bob for over ten years. He knows most of the people Bob interacts with, but no one with Clarke as their last name.

There aren't many entrepreneurs or strongmen with Clarke as their last name in Riverdale. Bob stunned. He could not hide his happiness, but at the same time, he frowned. He doesn't know Clarkes that rich. Bob looked at everyone in the room and asked,

"Do any of you know this Mr Clarke? Stop hiding if you know. He invested so much money, we should visit him." In the end, after looking around…

Everyone shook their heads in confusion. "Dad, I don't know anything Sir.

Clarkes." "I am too." In an instant, everyone was confused. No one knows Mr Clarkes, so who is this Mr Clarke? Soon, the news spread

around party. "Damn! Did you hear what happened? A rich man named Clarke invested a billion dollars into the Yates business!" "What's?

A billion dollars?" "Mrs. Which clarke is it? He's very rich! I want him as my father." In the blink of an eye, the entire central field and the outer courtyard began to talk about this.

Mr. Clarke's name is like the wind. The wind blew all over Yates' yard. Almost everyone in the party now knows that a billionaire named Clarke invested a billion dollars into the Yates family.

business business. A very large number! Everyone could not describe their surprise.

The Yates family is going to be famous today! Four simultaneous happy events occur in the family today. Philip sat in his chair and frowned.

Why does it feel like something Buffer would do? As she thought about it, she got a message on her other phone. He opened it and saw that it was indeed from Buffer. 

It said, 'Honored Master Philip, it is done. I'm investing a billion dollars into your grandpa wife's business.' It was Buffy! Philip felt helpless. 

Buffy is too good. After pondering for a moment, Philip replied, 'Okay.' Since Buffy had already invested his money, what else could he do? After all he didn't need a billion, so he would only treat it as a reward. When Wynn heard the news, he was fixated on Philip. 

Is that him? Maybe not. Wynn got rid of that thought quickly. That's a billion dollar investment! Even if Philip's parents owned the Northern Sky Western Restaurant, they wouldn't have much money to invest. Bob was so excited. 

He and his children followed the middle-aged man from the hall to the central square. Then, they walked through the outer courtyard to see who this Mr. Clarke was. Eric walked past Philip by chance. 

He said cynically, "Hey, Grandpa, is this Mr Clarke you're looking for?" It's clear that Eric did that on purpose. Philip is a coward. It would be an achievement if he could spend 10,000 dollars. A billion? No way! When Aaron heard that, he laughed disdainfully and said,

"Haha! Eric, Mr. Clarke this isn't Mr. Clarke. Obviously he got his food out of the trash." Ha ha ha ha! Everyone started laughing when they heard that. Martha followed behind everyone with a disappointed face.

He didn't want to say anything. He just didn't want to bother with this matter right now. Philip would be the one to feel ashamed of. He doesn't want to get involved in this. After hearing Eric's ominous laughter, Ted could not help but laugh anymore.

Chapter 194

Bob stared coldly at Philip who was sitting in his chair. He snorted and said,

"Who does he think he is? What a painful sight!" With scorn, Bob walked away with his black wooden stick tapping on the ground. He's going with a group of his people. Philip had been subjected to this kind of treatment for a long time. 

He sat in his chair nonchalantly and took a sip of his wine. He said calmly, "You can't be sure that I'm not Mr. Clarke." At first, everyone was surprised. Then, they started laughing out loud. 

Is Philip an idiot? How dare he say something like this? "Damn! Philip, why don't you look at yourself in the mirror? Other than your last name, which part of you looks like a rich man?" Eric laughed in frustration. 

How could there be such a shameless person? He's so funny! Philip said nothing. He knew they wouldn't believe him even if he told them. Bob and his group snorted and walked out the door. 

In the blink of an eye, only a few people were left in the courtyard. Jess is not leaving. He looked at Philip and said coldly, "Philip, I think you are troubled. You're too arrogant. If you keep acting like this, I suggest you divorce Wynn." 

His good impression of him disappeared in an instant. Philip remained silent. He smiled awkwardly but remained polite. Why doesn't anyone believe him? A moment later, Bob brought the group back to the scene. They all smiled brightly. They congratulated Bob. The scene was lively and cheerful. However, some people still looked at Philip with disdain.

Philip felt bad about this. "This is awesome! The Yates family finally showed its face in Riverdale!" Bob was so excited. "Dad, who is this Mr Clarke? Why is he investing in our business?" Samson asked while frowning. He wants to know someone like this. He believes that

a man who could invest a billion dollars would definitely have a net worth of over ten billion dollars. This man will definitely be at the top of the list in the country. Could it be those people? Seems not.

 Bob shook his head and said, "Don't think about it. Since he doesn't want to reveal his identity, then we should wait. We'll meet him eventually.

You people should pay more attention to this. Tell me when you find Mr. Clarke's. The Yates family will definitely go and see him." Party continues. At this moment, news broke in the hall. "Dad, there's a party at Cirrus Manor next month. They have invited a number of famous people.

We were also invited," Samsom smiled and said. It was an honor to be invited to a party at Cirrus Manor. Cirrus Manor is a puzzle. Very mysterious. Rumor has it that the owner of the manor was good at playing for personal gain.

They had an extremely powerful influence and an unimaginable amount of wealth. This was the first party that Cirrus Manor held. The rich and powerful in Riverdale really appreciate this feast. They need to have a level of strength and wealth to be invited by the owner of Cirrus Manor.

"Grandfather, what kind of place is Cirrus Manor? Is this really that amazing?" Eric asked curiously. Ted explained briefly and in an instant, everyone in the hall was shocked. What kind of luck did the Yates family have this year? They experience wave after wave of good things happen to them.

Of course, Bob was very happy. He was looking forward to this, and he also greatly appreciated this party. "Well, when the time comes, Pete, Sam, Teddy, Eric, and Jessy will come with me. . Six of us could attend the party." Bob smiled with narrowed eyes. When Eric heard that, he felt like he was on cloud nine.

He drank some more wine and found an opportunity to sneak into the outer courtyard. Then, he deliberately walked towards Philip and Wynn. "Philip, Wynn, let me tell you something. I'm going to a party at Cirrus Manor next month.

Hows it? Are you jealous? I know you. Only a person like me could attend such a party. "Oh, Fine. I think you don't even know what kind of place Cirrus Manor is, do you? Ahaha!" Eric is pleased with

selves. Plus, he drank too much, so he felt like he was walking on a cloud. His tone was filled with arrogance. Philip was shocked when he heard that.

 Cirrus Palace? What is Giada trying to do? Even though Wynn hated Eric for flaunting it after getting some items, he still felt a little jealous. He had heard of Cirrus Manor. It was an amazing place!

The owner of the manor had a very strong background. Anyone who could meet them would have a bright future! When he saw Wynn like that, Philip approached him and asked, "Do you want to go? If you want, I can drive you."

Chapter 195

Eric laughed out loud. His face was filled with contempt. He pointed at Philip and said, "Fuck me! What are you saying, Philip? You took Wynn there? How are you going to take him there? You're just a piece of trash!"

what kind of place is Cirrus Manor? This is the most mysterious manor in Riverdale! The owners cost a billion to build! "Do you say that you are qualified to be invited to the party?" Eric could not help himself.

He said all sorts of horrible, sarcastic comments. He caught the attention of a few people in just a short period of time. They started laughing at Philip too.

Philip was only humiliating himself! He was still trying to boast when things were already like this. Wynn's face was also on fire. He kicked Philip under the table to tell him to stop talking. He was already very embarrassed but Philip was unwilling to stop talking!

 Was he just going to stop after he ate the beef with everyone? When he thought about this, Wynn began to get angry. However, he was still tolerable towards Philip. He said softly,

"Enough. Stoptalking. Do you have to fool us?" Philip remained silent. He touched his nose and nodded. He didn't say anything else. He knows Wynn's not happy. Anyone would be unhappy if they were constantly being targeted. 

Plus, these irrelevant people even dug up something that happened three years ago to gossip about. Of course Wynn would be unhappy about that. After a while, Wynn got up to use

washroom. Eric looked at Philip coldly. He put his feet on the table and said provocatively, "Philip, I have a whole new respect for you.

You're just trash and you dare sit here and eat?" After he said that, Eric took out a glass of red wine and poured it over Philip's head.

Wine flowed all the way from Philip's head to his feet. In an instant, everyone started to make a fuss. Eric is too arrogant! Philip sat there bathed in wine. He clenched his fists tightly as anger exploded in his heart! Bam! Philip could not take it anymore.

 He got up and kicked Eric in the chest. Eric didn't expect Philip to react all of a sudden, so he stumbled back from the impact and dropped another table. "F*h!

Philip, how dare you kick me? you wanna die? Did you know this was a Yates party? You asked to die!" Eric was angry. He clenched his teeth and held his stomach. He doubled up and shouted at Philip while pointing at him.

This sudden commotion caught the attention of Bob and everyone in the hall. "Samson was the first to run out. When he saw the pale face of his son being kicked, he charged towards Philip and raised his hand to slap his cheek.

At the same time, he roared furiously, "Philip, you are too arrogant! Where do you think this is? How dare you cause trouble here?" However, Samson's hand didn't land on anything. The hand was caught by Philip in mid-air. Philip was furious. There was a fire burning in his eyes. He looked at Samson and shouted, "Please. !

Touch me! Do you believe that I will make Yates disappear from Riverdale?" Waw! Everyone can't regain consciousness for a while. Is this something useless? Is Philip crazy? How dare he talk to her? Samson is like this!

Oh no, he's really done! Martha stood behind the old master. His face looked panicked and horrified. Philip would kill him in frustration. Couldn't he just finish his meal quietly and get lost? He just has to cause trouble.

The slap! Martha walked out and raised her hand. He slapped Philip's cheek without saying anything. "Philip, what are you doing? Who are you to be so arrogant here? Who gave you the courage? Getting lost!" shout Martha. He's going away

go crazy with anger! If the old master was angry, not only Philip, but he would also not benefit from it! Eric stood to one side and pretended to be in pain. He pointed at Philip and shouted to Bob, "Grandfather, look at him.

He had absolutely no respect for the Yates family. He's making a fuss at your party!" Bob was angry. He slammed his staff on the floor and approached Philip. She glared at him and said, "You! Get out of my house now!" 

Old Master Yates was furious. Everyone looked at Philip with fake smiles on their faces. They enjoy their humiliation. This is what they like the most. Philip let go of Samson's hand and glared at everyone.

Bob grunts. "I? Begging you to come back? Do you think the Yates family needs a bad son-in-law?" Even so, when Bob met Philip's gaze, his heart was still racing.

Why is this guy staring at them like this? He looked at them with disdain and disgust. How dare he look down on Yates! What right does he have to say such a thing? When everyone fought furiously, Wynn came back. 

When he saw what happened, he kept apologizing to everyone. "Grandfather, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I don't control it very well.

Please stop being angry with her. We'll be gone soon." Wynn pulled Philip behind him and said apologetically. Jess can't see this anymore. He chimed in, "Grandfather, I think that's enough. 

After all, we are family. Let Wynn bring Philip back after this." Bob scoffed. He said nothing before turning around to leave. Eric glared at Philip in a despotic manner. He turned the bird at her arrogantly.

Wynn didn't say anything. She pulled Philip into the restroom and wiped his face for him. Then, he helped her take off her clothes and rubbed them between his hands to dry. Then, he blew it with a dryer.

"Are you angry with me?" Philip was bare-chested as he stood on one side and watched Wynn dry his clothes. He is very gentle and wise.

This was his wife, a woman who could become the brightest star of all. However, she is married to a man who is called a helpless coward by everyone. "No," Wynn

it says. However, the tears in his eyes betrayed his true feelings. He knew Eric was the culprit. "Why are you crying?" Philip was uncomfortable. Wynn wiped her tears and hugged her. He sobbed, "Philip, let's go home.

We'll never come here again. I don't want to see them humiliate you. You husband. You're my husband..." Philip's surprised. His heart began to fill with warmth. He held Wynn tightly and patted her on the back. He said,

"It's okay, Wynnie. It's just a small matter. Don't worry about me." The sunlight pierced through the window and they basked under the golden light.

An unknown amorous atmosphere ignited between the two of them.

Chapter 196

Bang out! The toilet door was kicked open and Jess barged in. When he saw the scene in front of him, he turned to leave. However, before he left, he turned around and said, "You've been married a long time.

Find a better place if you want to be intimate with each other." After Jess left, Philip said in annoyance, "There must be something wrong with this woman's head. He could not bear to see a happy husband and wife."

Wynn rolled his eyes at him and approached him. He straightened his back and buttoned Philip's shirt for him. Philip wanted to continue but Wynn brushed off his hand. "Stop being dissatisfied with small profits. Let's go."

Philip shrugged his shoulders helplessly. He muttered, "We've been husband and wife for a long time. What are you afraid of?" Wynn turned around and showed a pleasant smile. He looked seductive under the sun. When they return to

party, it's nearing the end. Philip had just sat for a minute when he received a message from George. 'Young Master, it's ready. Just wait for the surprise.' Bizarrely. What does that mean? Philip answered quickly, 'Old Brother George, what do you mean?' At this time, George was sitting in his Bentley and was on his way to Yates Village.

 He replied, 'Young Master, you are the main character of the Yates party'. Please wait, they should have been there already.' Goddamn bum! Goddamn bum! Did George do something behind his back? While Philip scratched his head in bewilderment, one of the maids ran from the door and announced loudly, "Russell Field, the head of the Civil Trade Group, is here!" The prize is a painting by Qi Baishi named

'Towers'!" Everyone is surprised. Why did any other guests arrive at Old Master Yates' party? Inside the hall, everyone looked at each other. Everyone knows about the Civil Trade Group. Their assets are worth three billion dollars.

it is one of the top ten companies in Riverdale. Russell is one of the most famous collectors in the country! Also, 'Towers' by Qi Baishi are famous paintings! It was bargained for ten million dollars back then!

It was a very expensive gift! However, the Yates family had no relationship with Russell. Why is this important person here to congratulate Old Master Yates? Who was the strong man who invited him? Bob was so excited.

 He immediately got up and walked out to greet her. A group of people followed him. He asked, "Is it Mr. Field said who'd he come here for?"

"Yes, he said he's here for Mr. Clarke," the man said. Mr Clarke again!

Who is this Mr Clarke? Philip was the only Clarke on the scene. However, other than the strange look from Wynn and Jess, no one else thought about it. One by one, everyone walked out to greet Russell.

Chapter 197

Bob is so excited at the moment. Russell was here and even gave him a 'Dewang' by Qi Baishi. This is a very precious gift! Not everyone can give such a fancy gift. Everyone followed behind Bob and came to the outer courtyard. Then they reached the entrance.

Eric was the last to arrive. When he saw Philip not move, he said with disdain, "What's wrong? An important person like Russell Field is here and you don't want to go and greet him?" 

Does this guy have a nail in his ass? How could he still sit there? After Eric's warning, Philip thought about it and came to the conclusion that Eric's words made sense. He got up and followed Wynn and the rest of the crowd. 

However, he stood a few meters away from the crowd. He doesn't want to go ahead. Philip doesn't want to get involved in something like this. Everyone stood at the door respectfully. Black Maybach stopped at the entrance.

 In an instant, the car door opened and Russell exited the car with a smile on his face. Bob walked out with a big smile on his face. He spread his arms and said respectfully, "Master Field, I didn't expect an important person like you to come to my humble abode and celebrate my birthday with me.

What have I done to get this?" Bob did very well in terms of his manners. Russell stretched out his hand and held his. He congratulated Old Master Yates.

"How can I be absent for Old Master Yates' birthday party? That's why I came uninvited. I hope you don't blame me." Russell did come here uninvited. Plus, she showed up just because she got a message from George.

George needs him to show up so Philip can keep up his appearance.

Russell was confused by this. A man like Mr. Clarke needs her help to keep up appearances? Bob smiled and asked, "Um, Mr. Field, why didn't you tell me before coming here? If you have, I can send someone to pick you up."

 Russell shook his hand and said, "Phil is here, so I think I should also come here to congratulate you, so this is more fun." "Phil?"

Bob's confused. His face was full of confusion. At the same time, Russell looked at Philip among the crowd. Instantly, his face brightened. It is the god of wealth!

 He invested two billion in his company! In an instant, Russell ignored Bob and the crowd. He rushed over to Philip with a respectful smile on his face. "Sir... Phil, you're here! Did I arrive on time?"

Russell was respected by so many people, but now, he had great respect for Philip. "Why are you here?" Philip's confused. Today is

Old Master Yates' birthday party. Why is Russell here? Goddamn bum! This was indeed a cheap trick by that old George Thomas. He forced her to expose herself! 

"I heard you were here so I came all the way to give Old Master Yates a birthday present. Whaddya think? Shrimp is a good gift, right?" Russell smiled cunningly. Philip is a top-tier nouveau rich man.

George told me a little about his assets. He will have 100 billion in just one card. Russell has a smart mind. He has to curry favor with the hidden heir of a billionaire.

 In this way, it will be beneficial to the development of his business and will give him a lot of wealth and opportunities. At this moment, Bob and his group ran over while shouting, "Master Field! Mr Field, what are you doing?"

 Bob glanced at Philip coldly and said, "Master Field, why don't we talk inside? It's hot here and in the yard is much cooler. Anyway, why are you talking to him?

He was no one who was too inferior to be displayed in public." Bob was angry with Philip. A useless person like him only reduced his lifespan by appearing at his party.

Now, Russell is here, too. If Philip were to fool himself, it would be bad. When that happens, Bob and Yates will be deeply humiliated. However, who would have thought that Russell, with a net worth of over three billion, wanted to humbly stand at the door next to Philip.

Expressions change. He looked at Bob with the attitude of a chairman, "Old Master, it's no shame standing here with Phil." Bob's eyes widened as his jaw dropped. He asked, "Phil? Sired.

Field, you came here for Philip?" Russell is upset that Bob is so disrespectful to Philip. He even regretted giving the gift to her.

When he was about to say something, he saw Philip hinting at him with his eyes. He immediately understood what he meant.

Chapter 198

Russell smiled and said, "Oh, Phil and I are bound through the gathering. He was one of my most intimate friends. We are the same spirit." Intimate friend?

Spirit brother? Bob surprised. Everyone was dumbfounded too. What

is happening? Philip is just a boneless tramp. How does he know a businessman with a net worth of several billion dollars like Russell? Is Philip a collector too? Impossible. He's very poor. 

Does he have money to collect? Eric and Aaron were shocked. Philip even knew someone like this?! They underestimated it. "I didn't expect Russell to come here for Philip." Everyone's jaws are falling. Is this a joke? "Russell is a well-known collector in the country and is worth more than three billion.

Why are important people so respectful to Philip? Something's wrong." Jess is very thorough. He stood among the crowd and sensed that something was amiss. However, when he saw Philip up close, he could not imagine him becoming a billionaire or a new rich man. 

The reason is that it is impossible. Only Charles frowned. He wondered if Russell and Philip had befriended each other in the gallery last time. Fortunately, Philip did not humiliate them again this time. There was a smile on Martha's face. 

She was happy, especially when she stood in front of her sister Paula. He was like an arrogant rooster when he said, "See? Philip we're not that bad. He's better than your Frank. It's Russell Field! He's worth three billion and he's still very polite with Philip."

 Paula's face paled. He had been humbling his sister and showing off the entire time.

Now that the table had changed, he felt very uncomfortable. This feeling turned into anger and hatred towards Philip. 'Damn you, Philip. You just have to stay as part of the trash forever. What the hell are you doing?' "I don't think Philip's good at hiding.

I didn't think he knew Russell." Some people complain. They thought Philip was getting some stuff for himself. However, the crowd did not care about this. When Charles explains that they know each other from the gallery and are not so close, everyone begins to look down on him again. 

Philip just made a coat out of tiger fur! How majestic. Such a relationship would be forgotten in the blink of an eye. One cannot take something that does not belong to them. Plus, Philip was just a hopeless vain person. But what happened next surprised everyone. When Bob

inviting Russell into the courtyard, Russell stretched out his hand with the same gesture and invited Philip in. Philip felt awkward. Wynn stood beside him like a curious little boy. He looked at her and pinched the meat on her waist. 

He bit his lips and muttered, "Philip, explain it to me when we get home." Philip smiled bitterly. What the hell is going on? 'George Thomas, you really ruined my life!' 

Philip could not resist it, so he could only steel himself and walk in front of everyone with Wynn next to him. He could feel more than ten cold gazes on his back. 

They pierced his body like a thousand arrows. When they were in the courtyard, everyone sat back down. Naturally, Russell sat inside the hall after being led by Bob. When Eric saw that everyone was in the hall and the middle courtyard, he decided to stay in the outer courtyard. He mocked while feeling pleased with himself,

"Philip, I didn't expect a piece of trash like you to know a businessman and a collector like Russell. What a lucky bastard!" Even though he was smiling, his voice was filled with sarcasm. Everyone can know. 

Philip frowned slightly, the unhappiness in his heart growing more and more intense. Eric was an accident for the Yates family. Philip ignored him. He was just a worthless fool, so why should he bother with him? On the other hand, Russell had just sat down.

 When he saw Philip in the corner of the outer courtyard being ridiculed by Eric with a fake smile on his face, he felt uneasy. Any smart person can know that only the least respected people will sit there. "Sorry, everyone. Let me sit there" Russell said.

He announced to everyone and ran impatiently into the outer courtyard. "Phil, may I sit next to you?" he asked in a humble tone. Everyone is dumbfounded.

They didn't expect Russell to be so respectful towards Philip. What the hell is going on? Is their relationship really that simple? Why does Russell respect Philip so much? "As far as you are, Mr. Field," Philip said calmly. Russell's happy.

He sat down next to Philip in a hurry and poured a glass of wine for Philip.

Eric saw this and could feel the fire burning his cheeks. It was like a million slaps had just landed on his face violently. He's so mad! What is the reason behind this?! At the same time, an announcement was heard

at the entrance once more. "The head of the Theodorus Riverdale Charitable Organization, Mr. Theo Zander, is here! The reward was a statue of a Compassionate Bodhisattva made of white jade!"

Chapter 199

"Theo Zander's? Which is Theo Zander?" "Mr Theo Zander of the Theodorus Charity?" "The king of the Riverdale, Theo Zander?

Why is he here?" Before the relatives and the younger generation of Yates in the courtyard regained their senses, everyone in the hall began to fidget. Compared to a well-known businessman and collector like Russell, Theo is popular in Riverdale for its power with a dark side.

If such a strong person did not come here sincerely, it could be said that he was here to take someone's life. It's natural that Bob is nervous. Not everyone can get in touch with a strong man like Theo.

Plus, no ordinary person could invite him for anything. While everyone was in a state of shock, Theo had already walked into the courtyard with a smile on his face. The white coat and the federation exuded an aura of dominance.

One would feel like one was being crushed by a mountain with his presence. It was indeed Theo Zander—the underground king of Riverdale!

His overbearing presence dominated the entire party. Jessi surprised. This is a very powerful and famous man in Riverdale. Why is he at the Yates family party? His grandfather did not know him. After a while, Jess

eyes were on Philip who was sitting quietly. Russell came here because of him, so was Theo here for him as well? No way! Impossible! A guy like Theo wouldn't look at anyone just like that. Samson was the first to approach her.

He had many business relationships with Theo's company, so he knew Theo.

Other than Russell, not a single person at the party had as much wealth and power as Theo. Therefore, Samson was very excited. He should entertain this man well. 'I didn't expect to attract people of this caliber to our party.'

Peter and Bob walked fast. "Hello, dear Samson," Theo nodded his head slightly and said. The two had a business relationship, so they met some

the time. However, they are not close. The next instant, everyone's eyes widened as they raised their ears. "Hello, Old Master Yates. I'm here for Sir.

Clarke," Theo said with a smile. His eyes were fixed on Philip who was sitting by the door. "Mrs. Clarke?" Bob walked over and narrowed his eyes.

She's confused. "Mrs. Which clarke is it? I'll ask someone to call her." In Bob's eyes, only influential and powerful people could make Theo appear at his party. 

The only person here with Clarke as their last name is Philip. Is that him? Impossible! He's just a boneless bum! Everyone at the party was curious. A strong man like Theo was here for someone.

How strong is that guy? Plus, that fellow also has Clarke as their last name? Everyone's eyes turned to Philip who was sitting in the corner.

Before this, Russell had come all the way for him. Is Theo here for her too? "Didn't that useless know Theo? How come? This is very strange," Paula said with envy. He felt like he had just eaten ten lemons. "That trash knows Theo Zander? No way!

He's just a piece of trash. This must be a joke." Eric was not happy. Both his eyebrows tightly knit. Suddenly, he felt like he did not understand that coward anymore. Why did he feel the mysterious atmosphere around the man? At first, he did not care about Philip at all.

 However, she started to feel worried when she saw Russell's attitude towards her. Now, Theo is here. Wynn didn't say anything. He sat next to Philip with his eyes fixed on him. There was curiosity in his eyes. She felt something was different about her husband. 

Does your family only have a restaurant? When everyone looked at Philip in confusion, the man simply drank his soup quietly. It was as if he was not disturbed at all. "Am I wrong?" Bob's confused. Then, he shook his head. 

However, in the next second, something caused everyone at the party to open their mouths in shock. Theo walked through the crowd and approached Philip. He put his hands together and said respectfully to her, "Mr Clarke, it's very difficult to contact you." Theo Zander, the king of the Riverdale, had great respect for Philip. It was as if a student was greeting him

gurus. "You're here too?" Philip frowned. He's not happy. What is George planning? Does he want the whole world to know? How should he explain to Wynn when he comes back? Before Theo got here, he received George's message.

 He told her to be humble but at the same time, she could not embarrass Philip. That's why he called Philip that way. When he saw that Philip was unhappy, Theo trembled in fear. Cold sweat began to wash over his back. 

Did he say the wrong thing? Just like that, Theo stood respectfully behind Philip while Philip was still drinking his soup. He didn't even try to be polite. With that, everyone's breathing started getting heavier.

Chapter 200

It's Theo Zander! Philip doesn't know what's good for him. How dare he be so disrespectful? Bob was the first to get angry. He shouted at Philip, "Philip, since Mr. Zander is here for you, why are you still sitting?

Who do you think you are? Don't you have any manners?" After an angry shout of Bob, Eric, Aaron, and a few others start to berate him as well.

"Philip, stand up and apologize to Mr. Zander now!" "That trash really thinks that he's someone special." They were saying more and more bad things about Philip. These people had not liked Philip for a long time. 

They finally had a chance to interfere. If Theo gets angry, Philip will be finished! However, Philip simply raised his head slightly and looked at everyone. Then, he took a spoon and took the soup for Wynn. He said, "It's not bad. It's good for your body. You should drink more."

Goddamn bum! Bob's boiling! This trash really disrespected him! As he was about to shout at her again, Philip said calmly, "Sit down." "Good!" Theo heaved a sigh of relief and sat down happily.

He sat next to Russell and they nodded at each other when their eyes met.

What the fuck? What the hell's going on? It's getting very strange.

Everyone looked at Philip in disbelief. Then, they saw Theo again.

Theo was actually sitting like an obedient subordinate. It must be fake! Him

must be! Everyone is in shock. They take a sharp breath. Even Bob had to swallow his words back down his throat for the first time. He had to reevaluate his opinion of his son-in-law's granddaughter.

 Bob's confused. He asked in disbelief, "Master Zander, the Clarke you're looking for is Philip Clarke?" "of course! Clarke and I are good friends" Theo said calmly. His expression was neutral, but there was a hint of anger. He had heard what the old master said when he shouted at Philip earlier.

 These people are blind. They don't know who they hurt and are still trying to be violent. Everyone gasp. Theo know this boneless bum? Eric boiling. How is this possible? Philip was just a piece of trash that everyone hated and hated. How could he sit at the same table as Theo?

On the other hand, Jess looked at Philip. This person only has one nose, two eyes, and one mouth like the others. Is Philip not just a man? Wynn's surprised. He pinched Philip's thigh under the table and asked in a low voice while frowning, "Philip, what's wrong? How do you know Theo Zander?" He knows about Russell.

 He is a successful businessman and also a collector. He had also heard of Theo. He was a famous boss on the dark side. How did Philip know someone like this?

Theo chuckled at Wynn and nodded his head. He said hello, "Mrs. Clarke."

Mrs Clarke? Wynn's surprised. He sat with his back straight and drank his soup. Everyone around them was shocked as well. This is Theo Zander they're talking about! Theo Zander who would kill someone without blinking! Is ... Did he just call Wynn Ny.

Clarke's? Geez! What big news! When Philip heard that, he frowned and glared at Theo. Theo knew he made a mistake and shut up immediately. He lowered his head and could not control the trembling in his eyes. At the same time, everyone was increasingly confused by Philip and Theo's relationship. It's not as obvious as it has to do with Russell.

Charles and Martha were also confused. When did their useless son-in-law have a connection with a VIP like Theo? He was someone who could shake the entire Riverdale with a single step. … At this moment, everything

looking at the table closest to the door with a strange look. Philip, Wynn, Russell, and Theo were chatting about something with smiles on their faces. Peter can still remain calm. He had seen all sorts of things when he was in the organization. 

However, he could not suppress his curiosity towards Philip. Who's Marta's daughter-in-law? Paula was sitting with Samantha. They looked at the table in anger. "Is Theo fake? How could he sit with that useless bum?" She was envious and jealous, especially when she saw Martha and Charles sitting there to curry favor.

His face was starting to get hot. Martha criticized her daughter-in-law a moment ago. Now, he's trying to curry favor with her? What a bitch!

Soon after, Paula gets her father's order to go and find out what is going on. At the same time, an announcement sounded at the door again.

"The head of the Apex Group, Mr George Thomas, is here!" When everyone heard the name, they could not sit still anymore. Bob and his group jumped in excitement. Their faces were red, and they began to pant. "Why is George Thomas here?" He's the richest man in Riverdale!
