Philip sat next to Wynn and naturally noticed Eric and Aaron walking over. They had a devious smile on their faces.“Philip, why are you sitting in the outer courtyard near the door? This is where I used to feed my dog.”Eric looked at Philip and smirked coldly. There was a glint of sarcasm in his eyes.Wynn’s face went red. She wanted to stand up but a huge hand stopped her.Philip smiled calmly. “The outer courtyard and the hall are the same. It depends on who’s the one sitting at which location to eat. Plus, the hall belongs to the Yates. I don’t care for it.”Philip had been holding in for so long. He did not mind being arrogant for a bit.Most importantly, Eric was too hateful. He just had to create something out of nothing.“Hehe, you’re really something else. You even know how to brag. You’re just a piece of trash. We’re doing charity by letting you eat on a table in the house with the rest of the Yates. Do you understand, you worthless wretch?!” Eric scoffed. Jess frow
Everyone looked over in the direction of the voice.Old Master Yates was staring at Philip. His face was icy. Anger rose from his body as he yelled, “Get out of the Yates Manor if you dare to hit him!”At this moment, the outer courtyard was filled with people. They did not try to help. They did not even tell them to stop. They were just standing at one side while watching what was going on.When they saw Old Master Yates, everyone stood at one side in fear. They all lowered their heads silently.He was the head of the Yates. Who would dare to provoke him?If they offended Old Master Yates, they should just get out of Riverdale.Philip was done for!Under everyone’s respectful gazes, Old Master Yates approached the two men while his cane clacked on the floor loudly. He was radiating with anger. He lifted his cane and swung it at Philip’s hand that was raised mid-air.Smack!Philip was in pain. His entire right arm was numb.“You unbridled piece of trash! How dare you hit Eric
Buffer?Jess looked at Philip in confusion. There was no hint of tomfoolery on his face.What did he mean?Did he know who Buffer was?He was the god of investment!He had hundreds of billions worth of assets and was among the top in Forbes’ list of billionaires in the world!A person like him was looked up to by so many people. Could she meet him just like that?“Philip, you’re getting used to talking big, huh?”Hence, Jess thought that Philip was joking. She rolled her eyes at him and proceeded to ignore him.If Philip knew what Jess was thinking about right now, he would be laughing his head off.Was Buffy so great?He only had that amount of assets because Philip asked him to keep them for him.He shook his head helplessly and let out a bitter laugh. Then, Philip walked out of the courtyard and came to a more secluded place. He took out his phone and found Buffer’s number after a long while. After that, he gave him a call.In a flash, a respectful yet excited voice sou
Jess got up when it was her turn. She looked at Wynn and Philip before sighing.“Grandpa, this is the acceptance letter from Harvard. I’m going for my Ph.D.” Jess took out an acceptance letter.This was the top student’s gifting method. She was so f*cking low-profile!Harvard!The best educational establishment!Bob was so happy that his eyes turned into two lines. He took over the letter and started praising repeatedly, “Splendid! My eldest son’s daughter never disappoints me. There’s going to be a superwoman among the Yates!”Hahaha!Everyone started to compliment Jess.Bob gave her a red packet which she accepted as well. Then, under the expecting gazes of everyone, Ted got up after having been sitting the entire time. He walked empty-handed in front of the old master and said calmly, “Grandpa, I was in a rush when I came here, so I didn’t bring anything.”Everyone was shocked after they heard that.Did not bring anything?This was not something Ted would do.Peter was
Everyone at the birthday party was looking at Wynn with contempt and disdain in their eyes.Eric and Aaron’s gifts that were presented moments before were extremely valuable.Then, Ted announced the shocking news of attaining the Oasis development project at the south of Riverdale.He would be making 500 million for the Yates!Now, it was Wynn’s turn. What gift would her family be presenting today?Martha sat on her seat, extremely nervous. She saw what Wynn was holding. It was the box that Philip had previously given to her.If Wynn gave that thing to her father, it would be the biggest joke of the century.Everyone would look at them as if they were fools!Eric stared at Wynn with mockery on his face. He looked at the small box in her hands and the smirk on his face got wider. He lifted his eyebrow and said, “Cousin, it’s Grandpa’s 70th birthday today. Are you really going to give this tiny box to him? What valuable item can it hold?”Eric snorted in his head. He saw with hi
‘Wait for my signal. I don’t like the Yates.’ Philip replied to the message in secret and put away his phone.George was over at the chairman’s office in Apex Group. After he got the message, he lifted his eyebrow and asked his secretary to announce this.As long as Philip opened his mouth, he would make sure to bankrupt the Yates.These blind fools must have crossed the young master.“Philip, what are you doing?” Wynn noticed Philip had been playing with his phone the entire time, which is why she asked curiously.“Oh, it’s nothing. Professor Turner told me he’ll arrange Mila’s surgery for next Wednesday,” Philip replied.“Really?” Wynn was excited. She grabbed onto Philip’s hand emotionally.Mila was her everything. Which mother would want to see their own child suffer?“Yeah.” Philip patted the back of Wynn’s hand lovingly.“Hey, did you hear that the Oasis development project in the south of Riverdale was developed by the richest man in Riverdale, George Thomas? Ted’s maki
An investment of one billion bucks!All of the Yates’ assets were just worth 700 to 800 million bucks!Adding in Bob’s own company with Samson and Ted’s company, they only had a little over a billion!This investment of one billion bucks came out of nowhere!How would he not be excited?Bob stood up excitedly and widened his eyes. He asked while gasping for air, “What… What did you say? Say it again!”“Old Master, we got an investment of one billion dollars!” the middle-aged man finally wiped his sweat and said with the same excitement.In an instant, Bob’s face turned red. He lifted his head and guffawed at the sky. “Wonderful! The Yates family is finally going to enter high society! An investment of one billion dollars! Go and find out who was the one who invested in us. We have to invite them here and take good care of them!”This person must be an extremely rich billionaire.He had to treat him with respect.Bob was ready to invite them here himself.The middle-aged man
Bob glared coldly at Philip who was sitting on his seat. He snorted and said, “Who does he think he is? What a sore sight!”With a scoff, Bob walked away with his black wood cane tapping on the ground. He was about to leave with his group of people.Philip had been enduring this kind of treatment for a long time. He sat on his seat indifferently 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 shocked. Then, they started laughing loudly.Was Philip an idiot?How dare he say something like this?“Damn! Philip, why don’t you take a look at yourself in the mirror? Aside from your last name, what part of you looks like a rich person?”Eric laughed in frustration.How could such a shameless person exist? He was hilarious!Philip did not say anything. He knew they would not believe him even if he told them.Bob and his group of people snorted and went out of the door.In a blink of an eye, only a few people were left in
