“Mr. Thomas, do you have the wrong person? Look at Philip’s wretched state, he’s just a hopeless case who everyone looks down on…” Paula was unconvinced, so she blurted out. Not only did she suspect that Theo was a fake, but now, she suspected George was a fake too.Who were they? Were they blind? How would they have any connections with a penniless fool like Philip?“Ma’am, please watch your language. No one can insult my little Philip like that.” George’s tone was icy.Bob shouted as well, “Paula, shut up! One more word and you’re out of here!”Paula shut her mouth when she saw her father’s angry expression. She was as scared as a bird that was startled by the mere twang of a bow. She did not dare to lift her head anymore.Martha chuckled deviously. She said weirdly, “Oh, our Phil is the best indeed. He even knows a rich person like you, Mr. Thomas. Unlike some people whose daughter only got a nice husband after sleeping with God knows how many men. And she still dares to show

Martha decided to pretend to be sick. She grunted and pointed at her chest.How would Bob not be able to tell his daughter’s little tricks? He glared at her coldly and yelled, “Martha, since Philip gave this to me, then it belongs to the Yates. If you don’t feel well, you should just ask Paula to send you back.”When she heard that, Martha did not dare to pretend anymore. She straightened her back, her face filled with hatred.Even though Paula was jealous, she still felt a little pleased when she saw that Martha could not get any goodies from this.Bob took the thumb ring from Russell with trembling hands. He valued it very much.100 million!How did Philip afford to give him something so expensive?Eric, Aaron, and Jess were all beyond shocked. They were in disbelief.Was Philip not a completely useless piece of trash?How did he afford the thumb ring?Eric clenched his fists. Where did that guy get such a treasure?F*ck, f*ck, f*ck!He was fuming.Eric went to one side

Monkey’s face went pale. His face was ashy, and he was extremely frantic.When he was at a complete loss and was thinking about how to turn the situation around, the underground king of Riverdale walked humbly to another young man and bowed. He asked, “Mr. Clarke, what do you think we should do to them?”Mr. Clarke?Damn it!Was that young man Philip Clarke? The man that Eric wanted him to cripple?When he saw this, Monkey was in a complete state of shock. It was as if his heart had stopped beating.‘Eric Yates, you’re killing me!’In Monkey’s eyes, Theo was someone he had to maintain a respectful distance from. He was involved with both the dark and light sides. He had huge power over a lot of things.If he stomped his foot, the entire Riverdale would shake!Now, this person was being so respectful toward that young man. He was also acting extremely cautious around him.He could guess the identity of that young man just from the way Theo was treating him.He wanted so badly

Yolanda watched as Philip hesitated. She said quickly, “Since we’re all here, let’s go together. We haven’t seen each other in so many years.”Actually, Yolanda wanted to get close to Philip through this gathering.She felt remorseful for not having any interest in Philip back then. She did not expect a man like him to have such potential.Philip touched his nose and nodded his head. “Alright.”Philip did not have anything to do in the afternoon anyway. Also, his candlelit dinner reservation with Wynn was for tomorrow. As such, he did not have to worry.Philip told Agnes something before the latter went back to the office.After staying a while longer at the cafe, Yolanda and Sadie brought Philip to the karaoke in the mall nearby.“Oliver and the gang will be singing here before going to Arc de Triumph,” said Yolanda. She even grabbed Philip’s arm voluntarily and said in a mysterious tone, “Philip, do you know what Joshua opened a company of his own as well? His turnover is alre

“Yeah, Philip. This is such a rare chance. I want to go too. Josh, what about me?” One of Philip’s classmates said in envy.“Me too. I heard the current account of Josh’s company has a few million every month. He has so many employees too!”Yolanda was envious. Her face was filled with adoration. She sat close to Joshua and kept acting coquettishly. There were more than ten people in the room. Initially, everyone was just doing their own things. However, when they heard Carl’s conversation, everyone became eager and was looking at Joshua with impatient gazes.It became obvious now that they had just come to the gathering for their own selfish needs. It could not be helped. This was the reality of it.They were all normal people. They just wanted an easy way out.This was understandable. It was not despicable.“Mr. McAdams, do you still need people?”“Josh, what about me? I was a secretary before. I can do anything.”“...”Sadie, who was sitting at one side, immediately got
