Chapter 201
George Thomas the billionaire! What prestige and fame did he have! He has a net worth of over ten billion and is a legend of Riverdale. The amount of wealth and connection he had could not be imagined by anyone on the scene. A strong man like him was at Old Master Yates' party. No one would think this happened! When they heard George's name, everyone in the hall and outer courtyard began to pant. They fell into a state of shock. Everyone at the scene including Bob, Peter, and Samson stood up. Russell and Theo stand to prepare for the VVIP. "Who thought George Thomas would show up?"
Everyone is scared. There was an unpleasant glint in their eyes. They all stared at the entrance simultaneously. They were eager to see the legendary billionaire Riverdale show up at the door. Some fancy cars
stop outside the door of Yates Manor. Later, George came out of the black Bentley. He was wearing a gray Tang suit and holding a cane. He slowly walked to the entrance. Bob and his group were already at the door. They were the first to witness the delicate George Thomas walking over. "This is really George Thomas!" Bob could not be silent anymore. He walked over and greeted George personally. Although their age is not much different, it is clear that Geroge looks more energetic. He had a red hue and light on his face. "Mr Thomas, I didn't expect you to visit me in my humble abode" Bob said in a flattering tone. He has a grin on his face. "Dear baby, I heard you were celebrating your 70th birthday, so I decided to cancel the party" George shook hands with Bob and said flatly. When he said that, everyone thought this was the lucky year of the Yates family. They had four happy events simultaneously, and now, the VIPs had come here to congratulate Old Master Yates. However, everyone could not help but glance at Philip who was sitting in the outer courtyard. Did he come for Philip too? If that was the case, then he had just completed an unattainable task! That's the richest man in Riverdale! Philip is just useless trash. What did he do to claim a connection with strong people like them? Before this, they thought that Theo's prestige and fame were all fake. If not, how could he
so respectful towards useless bums? Then, in the next second, George said something that left everyone's eyes wide open. "Pulse... Is my son Philip here?" George asked with a smile. When Bob heard that, his hands trembled. He almost fainted. Eric and the rest of the group felt as if a huge hammer had fallen from the sky and landed on their hearts. They feel that everything they know is starting to collapse around them. They don't expect to be right. Riverdale billionaire George Thomas is also here for Philip! Jess started feeling numb. Russell Field, Theo Zander, George Thomas. They all have a net worth of over billions, and they're all here for Philip!
Is that boneless tramp really useless? Bob regained his senses and replied, "Yes." Then, he took George to the courtyard. Every person
follow. George greeted everyone and followed Bob into the hall.
"Mr.
Thomas, you came all the way from Riverdale. You must be exhausted.
Come on, let me toast to you," said Peter. He should flatter billionaires like George. It would be beneficial for the Yates family and at the same time, it would be beneficial for him. "Haha, how can I?" not attending Old Master Yates' party?" George laughing. Then, his eyes fell on Martha and Charles who were sitting diagonally before him. "Mr. and Mrs Johnston, hello. These are the two little gifts I brought to you both. I hope you can take it." After he said that, George asked his secretary to take out two small boxes and hand them to Charles and Martha respectfully. Both of them happily accepted the gift. Martha was very happy. It's a gift from Riverdale's richest man. Must be precious! He's going to be rich! Everyone at the table was envious upon seeing that.
They looked at Martha with jealousy in their eyes. "Mr Thomas, you're too good. How can I receive such an expensive gift?" Martha pretended to refuse but still, she put away the box impatiently. It was as if she was afraid George would ask her back. "Mrs. Johnston, you have an amazing daughter-in-law. He has a bright future!" George laughed and said. "Philip?" Everyone fell into a state of shock again. They don't expect billionaires like George to praise that trash. This
it's very hard to believe. Everyone doesn't believe. This is a birthday party for Old Master Yates. Philip did nothing and somehow, he became the star of the party.
Chapter 202
"Mr Thomas, are you the wrong person? Look at Philip's miserable state, he's just a hopeless case looked down upon by everyone ..." Paula was not sure, so she said. Not only does he suspect that Theo is a fake, but now, he also suspects that George is also a fake. Who're they? Are they blind? How could they have a relationship with a fool who had no money like Philip? "Mom, please take care of your language. No one can insult my son
Philip is like that." George's voice was icy cold. Bob also shouted, "Paula, shut up! One more word and you're out of here!" Paula covered her mouth when she saw her father's angry expression. He was frightened like a bird struck by the twang of a bow. He did not dare to raise his head again. Martha laughed cunningly. He said strangely, "Oh, our Phil is indeed the best. He even knows rich people like you, Mr. Thomas. Unlike some people whose daughters only get a good husband after sleeping with God who knows how many men. And he still dared to show off every day. How cheap." Bob was used to the daily quarrels of his two daughters. He spoke and stopped them. Paula was trembling with anger. He peeked at Philip in the outer courtyard. His heart was filled with anger and jealousy. What did Philip do? How could he claim a relationship with someone like George? Did he sell his wife? At the party, it was natural for people to ask about Philip and George's relationship. Before George could say anything, Martha could not wait to show off. He told them that Philip had saved George and the savior George.When they heard this, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
However, if he was Geroge's savior, there would be a great chance for him to have a bright future. After less than ten minutes, George got up and walked to the outer courtyard. Everyone's eyes followed him. After greeting Philip, George sat down at his desk. In an instant, many eyes were fixed on Philip. Confusion, jealousy, envy, and disbelief were among the few complicated emotions in their gazes. Philip was calm. He even started complaining about it. "Old Brother George, what are you playing?"
Philip asked. George simply smiled and said, "Young Master, aren't you asking me to prepare a gift? How'this?" Pfft! Philip almost spewed out his drink.
George is even harder than he is! Ted looked at Philip, and at that moment, he felt foreign to him. Who is this guy? Was he really just a boneless coward? He even began to understand what Philip had said earlier, something about making Yates disappear from Riverdale. Was this fellow so arrogant just because he knew a few people? Ted drank his wine quietly. His hands were trembling, and his heart was roaring
discontentment. 'You're just a piece of trash! How do you know so many people? Hows it? 'This is Yates Manor! Bony bums like you can't make trouble here! I, Eric Yates, am not sure!
I'll kill you!' While thinking that, Eric walked out of the courtyard and ran into a corner. He dialed the number and said with a dark face, "Monkey, take the boys and block the village entrance. I want to fuck someone! I want to paralyze him! There was also a woman. I'll let you people do whatever you want to her as long as you don't kill her." Back to Philip. It was clear that Philip's table had been the highlight of the party despite being close to the door. Everyone would glance at them once in a while. They watch them closely. After spending more time here, Wynn began to feel tired. Philip got up and said to George and the others, "Um, I have to send Wynnie back now. If you have time, you can help yourself for whatever you want." WEB." When Wynn heard Philip's tone, he glared at him and said, "Um, Mr. Field, Mr. Zander, Mr. Thomas, forgive me. I was not feeling well, so I would ask Philip to send me back. I'll take him to visit all of you someday." When they heard that, Russell and Theo waved their hands and said, "No, no, no. No need for that. Phil is busy.
You don't have to do that." George was the only one sitting quietly. Wynn hesitated and looked at Philip. He smiled before following her out the door. When everyone saw Wynn walking out with Philip, they heaved a sigh of relief. The man finally left. After a while, George, Russell, and Theo also left. Finally, Yates' party ended. As Russell was about to leave the courtyard, he was asked to return to the living room in
hall by Bob. "Master Field, the reason I asked you here is for you to see something for me." Bob grinned cheerfully. Then, he took out a small box and handed it to Russell. The three generations of Yates were all in that room. Of course, Yates' relatives were there as well. Of course, Charles was also present. "What's this?" Russell was curious when he took the box. Bob frowned slightly as he said, "This is from my daughter-in-law. I thought it was worthless, but now you
here, I'd like to ask you to see it for me." To make it simpler, Bob suspected. He wanted to get a clue through the box so that he could dispel the doubt in his heart. How precious was what Philip could give him?
Chapter 203
Bob knew about Philip's relationship with Russell, and he knew that they were not so close. Naturally, his impression of Philip returned like before. Philip and Russell happen to know each other in the gallery.
That piece of trash was not worth mentioning at all. Not only was Bob waiting for Russell's assessment, the rest of the group also anticipated the outcome. Russell did not refuse. He opened the box, and at first glance, he was attracted by the jade ornamental thumb ring. This..This jade ornamental thumb ring is definitely made of the highest grade jade!
Judging from the workmanship and level of polishing, this ring was not made recently but from the pre-Qing dynasty. Russell took out a magnifying glass from his pocket and began to look at it up close. With this move, everyone in the hall was taken aback. What the hell is going on? Is Philip's jade ornamental thumb ring a genuine antique?
Eric felt his heart sink. However, he put away this thought. It was just a piece of jade. How could it be an antique? "How about, Mr Field?
Did you see anything?" Bob asked with a smile. She's very nervous. He hasn't felt this for years. He had no idea why he was so nervous for no reason. Bob can even predict what Russell will say next. .
Judging from Russell's expression, Bob could see this ornamental thumb ring was not made of ordinary jade. "It... This was a jade-encrusted thumb ring from the Qing Dynasty! It might even belong to Emperor Qianlong!" Russell said excitedly. She's emotional. He even started breathing heavily. If it belonged to the Qianlong Emperor, it would definitely be worth it! He had not seen anything like it in years!
Russell recalled that he had once bid for a piece of calligraphy
the Qianlong Emperor's in the Capital. It was sold for 30 million dollars. The value of this jade ornamental thumb ring was definitely over 30 million dollars. It must be a precious treasure! "Qing Dynasty…
Emperor Qianlong?" Bob stunned. His eyes widened as he stared at the jade-faced thumb ring on Russell's hand. In an instant, everyone in the hall was greatly shocked. Even those who knew nothing about antiques like Martha knew that it was something extremely valuable when she heard it once belonged to Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty. Eric's face fell. Did that useless tramp really give the old master something valuable? Where did he get his money? "Charlie, is it valuable? ? " Martha poked Charles and asked. If this was then, Martha would have done anything to take back the thumb ring. Philip is very wasteful. There were so many things in the world to give, yet he gave something that used to belong to Emperor Qianlong The red face of Charles.
He was eager to pounce and see her. He said excitedly,
"Precious! It's so precious! Two years ago, a piece of calligraphy from Emperor Qianlong sold for 30 million dollars." "What's? 30
However, Martha chided Philip in her heart. What a shitty piece of trash! How wasteful! 30 million! However, in the next second, Russell shook his head and said, "Old Master Yates, I think this ring costs over 30 million dollars." More than 30 million? This news made waves in the room. Bob gasping. His face was red as he stared at the thumb ring. He smiled in satisfaction and said, "Why don't you give us an estimate for this, Mr. Field?" After pondering for a moment, Russell raised a finger and said solemnly, "At least 100 million." 100 million? Thump!
When Martha heard that, she fainted on the spot. He fell backwards and landed on the floor. Luckily, Charles was quite agile. He helped
Martha to one side quickly. He pressed his philtrum and gave him some water before he regained consciousness. Martha limp all over. Him
his hands trembled uncontrollably as he muttered in annoyance, "Philip, oh, Philip, you are wasteful! Where did you get that thumb ring? It's worth 100 million and you just give it away." Martha boils. He stared at the ring and was eager to swallow it. If Philip had not given it to his father, it would have been his! 100 million! Holy hooch! No way, he had to get it back!
Chapter 204
Martha decided to pretend to be sick. He snorted and pointed at his chest.
How can Bob not tell his daughter's little trick? He glared at her coldly and shouted, "Martha, since Philip gave this to me, then it belongs to Yates. If you feel unwell, you should ask Paula to send you back." Hearing that, Martha did not dare to pretend anymore. He straightened his back, his face filled with hatred. Although Paula was jealous, she still felt a little happy when she saw that Martha could not get any items from this. Bob took the thumb ring from Russell with trembling hands. He greatly appreciated it. 100 million! How could Philip afford to give him something so expensive? Eric, Aaron, and Jess were shocked. They don't believe. Is Philip not a completely useless piece of trash? How did he buy a thumb ring? Eric clenched his fists. Where did that person get such a treasure? Shit, shit, shit! She's upset. Eric goes to one side and urges Monkey and his gang to hurry. Jess is curious too. He could not understand the situation no matter how hard he tried. What else is this man hiding? At the same time, he saw Eric standing alone in a corner on his phone. His face was full of anger.
What did Eric do? After pondering for a while, he pulled out his phone to send a message to Wynn telling him to be careful. Russell looked at everyone's surprised face. He also felt helpless. They had no idea that a 100 million thumb ring was just a toy for Philip. Mr. Clarke had previously told him to keep his identity a secret. Russell explained quickly. "I think Philip must have gotten this ring from an antique
market place. This guy has such sharp eyes. He found the painting 'Friends and Spring Mountain' by Tang Yin from the antique market as well." "He found it? What's going on?" Bob's confused. Russell briefly explained before everyone understood the situation. Their suspicions of Philip were also gone. It turns out that useless trash will always be useless trash. They think Philip has a secret identity. Who knew it was blind luck? What a lucky bastard! After Russell left, Bob
ask his men to get rid of the thumb ring. The whole family looked at each other and smiled. Philip that coward is really an idiot. He may not even know the true value of the thumb ring. Indeed, a useless person would not know the true value of something valuable even if it was in front of him.
Eric began to look down on Philip even more. He won't mean anything in his entire life. Martha and Charles were furious. They left Yates Manor as well. "I'm so angry, I'm so angry! 100 million! It's 100 million!
Charlie! Philip really wants us to die of anger!" On the way home, Martha kept berating Philip. He's turbulent. "Enough. He gave it to her. Do you think you can ask him to come back?" charles is helpless. "of course! Whynot? The gift was from Philip, so it's ours. Why go to Yates? No, I'm not leaving. You should go back first. I won't be back until I get the ring." Martha has made her decision.
After all, he did not cultivate his arrogance in just a day or two. How would he be willing to part with something so precious? Back to Philip.
Wynn and Philip sat in the car Theo had prepared for them. In the car, Wynn was very quiet. After all, the person in the front seat was the underground king of Riverdale. Philip knew Wynn suspected his identity, so he asked quickly, "Theo, thank you. You can send me to the hospital." Theo was surprised, but he understood. He replied with a smile,
"It's okay. It'sit's nothing. Come have tea with me when you're free. I have to thank you for what happened last time, Clarke." What objects? Wynn. His eyes were fixed on Philip as he pinched his waist. He bit his lips and muttered, "Philip, you should explain this to me when we get there
back." Philip knew what he was thinking after looking into his eyes. He felt like he was in trouble. "Theo, I think we have some followers." As they were about to exit the village, the driver noticed something was off. "Clarke, what are you going to do with them?" Theo looked at
rearview mirror and ask. "Disregard them" Philip replied calmly. He could guess who was behind this, but he did not want to make any enemies now. Theo nodded and said nothing. However, in the blink of an eye, the two vans behind chased after them. One of the vans hit them and forced Mercedes-Benz to stop. Seven to eight muscular men with tattoos came out of the two vans. They were holding things that looked like bats.
"Basic bastards! Get out! Out now!" The leader of the gang is a man with a buzzcut. He looks so cruel. He rammed his steel stick into a Mercedes-Benz and pointed at the people inside. He roared while pacing.
Chapter 205
"Clarke, sit. I'll handle this." Theo said and dialed the number. He said coldly to the phone, "Ned, I'm at the entrance of Yates Village. Bring your men." After he said that, he took off his hat and took off his suit.
He opened the door and walked out with his men. Philip smiled and walked out as well. Wynn wanted to follow, but Philip kept him in the car. Wynn shouldn't have to see what happens next. "Who among you is Philip Clarke's bastard? Get out of here!" The leader was named Monkey. He was a local bully of this area in Yates Village. He would oppress this area without end. He was also pushy and arrogant while thinking he was a great person. He held a steel stick in his hand, and his face was filled with hatred. He smacked his baton into the hood of Mercedes-Benz and shouted, "What's wrong? Did you not hear me? Are you deaf? Bring Philip Clarke here and bow down to me! And that woman's named Wynn Johnston too! Come here and come back with me so the kids can have fun with you! Otherwise, none of you will be allowed to leave!" "Working
you want to die? How dare you insult Mr and Mrs Clarke?" Theo walked forward and said with a cold face, "Are you tired of living?" He had been in the industry for a long time and worked at Riverdale, so he was not afraid of a local bully like Monkey. He was only angry that they were insulting Philip! "Damn it! Whoareyou? Is it your turn to speak? You're gonna die and you're still very stubborn." The monkey looked at Theo from head to toe. "You do look like a human after dressing up. Do you believe that I'll beat you up until you kneel down and beg for mercy on me?" "My name is Theo Zander. Who do you think I am?" Theo replied coldly. When the Monkey heard the name, he was startled at first. Then, he held her stomach and laughed out loud. He swung his steel staff and pointed at Theo arrogantly. "Theo Zander's? You look like ap*ssy and you dare say that you are Theo Zander?
Do you know who Theo Zander is? He's my boss' boss! He's the king of the Riverdale underground!" The monkey could not hold back his laughter.
He had not expected to meet an idiot like this person today. "Hey, asshole! Look at yourself in the mirror before telling others that you are Theo Zander.
How dare you pretend to be Theo? If you really are Theo Zander, then I am your grandson!" "Great words! You dug your own grave!" Theo's face fell as he took the first step to kick the Monkey's stomach. The monkey did not expect him to make the first move, so he suffered a kick and staggered a few meters back before stabilizing himself. He felt pain spreading in his stomach. The monkey rubbed his stomach with gritted teeth and shouted furiously, "Why are you still standing here? Just go!
Stamp them all down! Take down Philip Clarke first! Naked the woman and brought her back!" In an instant, a group of people charged towards them while swinging their weapons. In the end, Theo and his three men defeated all of these villains in less than five minutes. They were all writhing.the ground in pain. Philip took the opportunity and kicked them several times. He added to their pain. The rest were all taken care of by Theo and his men. Of course, the reason Theo could be where he is today was because of his skill set. He had handpicked all of his men, so of course, Monkey and
the local bullies do not deserve to be their opponents. "Say! Who told you to do this?" Theo stomped on Monkey's face and showed no mercy at all. The monkey started screaming loudly in pain. "F*ck you!
I'm one of Ned's men! If you dare to touch me, Ned won't forgive you!" The monkey is stubborn. Anger was burning in his eyes. "Sutherland Ned?"
Theo snorted and continued to say, "He wouldn't dare to speak to me like that even if he stood in front of me." "Stop pretending! When he gets here, I'm sure you will bear the consequences of your actions! If you know what's best for you, you'll let me go!" Monkeys continue to abuse. She's boiling. Theo then kicked his face and his nose started bleeding profusely. Yet... When the monkey throws
another offense, four Range Rovers drove up and stopped abruptly on the side of the road. In the blink of an eye, a man who was about six feet two in height got out of the car. He was big and seemed to be covered in muscle. He looks very strong. Seven to eight men got out of the car behind him. The muscular man observed the scene quickly. His eyes are so scary. "Need?"
When he saw the man, it was as if the Monkey had seen hope. He screamed happily,
"Need! In here! Save me, Ned!" Ned's eyes were fixed on the Monkey lying on the floor. He was held firmly to the ground by Theo's feet. However, Ned chose to ignore it. Under everyone's shocked gazes, Ned walked up to Theo and bowed 90 degrees. He said, "Theo! I brought my men here. What do you want me to do?" Neutral Theo expression. He nodded calmly. "Theo?" At this moment, it was as if the Monkey had a spell cast on him. His eyes widened and his jaw opened. He could not believe what he saw or heard. The monkey was very confused, especially when he saw Ned standing beside Theo humbly. He felt his view of the world was wrong. He hates himself. He's so sorry! His back was getting wet with cold sweat. Even an idiot would be able to understand what was going on right now. The person in front of him was indeed the underground king of Riverdale, Theo Zander! Myth, legend, boss of his boss—Theo Zander! The monkey begged Ned
to take him to visit Theo, but he still lacks qualifications. He didn't think the day he finally met Theo would be in this kind of situation! Is God playing him? He's done for!
