Chapter 18

Philip smiled. “I’m here to take a look.” What a coincidence to run into Aiden here. “Take a look? What’s there for you to see?” Aiden sounded displeased. “Do you know where this is? Is this a place someone like you can enter? Get out this instant!” Aiden hated Philip. The broke man had stolen his goddess from him, and now, he even came to Civil Gallery for a stroll. Did this man not realize that he was tainting this gallery with his existence? Philip frowned slightly, feeling irked. “Why can’t I be here to look?” This Aiden Grant had no idea that the man standing in front of him was the new owner of Civil Gallery, so he still had the gall to look down on him. Philip felt disgusted. “Hahaha!” Aiden laughed out incredulously.

“Philip, you’re such a fool. Do you know what kind of people are allowed in Civil Gallery?” “This, I really don’t know,” Philip calmly answered.

Aiden tipped his chin up, already forgotten what he came here to do. When else would he humiliate Philip if not now? “The people who are allowed here are all prominent figures of Riverdale City. Their net worth starts from at least ten million.” Aiden cocked an eyebrow and mocked, “Trash like you at the lowest level of society don’t even have the right to stand at the entrance, do you understand? “I don’t even know why Wynn would marry you. I feel sorry for her.” Ruthless mockery and words of contempt. In Aiden’s eyes, Philip was only a tiny ant while he was an elephant. He could easily squash him dead. “Oh, is that so? Is there a rule like that?” All of a sudden, Philip turned to ask Anna who had been standing beside him. Aiden then finally noticed the beautiful and endearing woman next to Philip. This is… the manager of Civil Gallery, Anna Carter! Aiden immediately put on a smile, wanting to shake her hand. However, Anna shot him a look of disdain before answering Philip, “There isn’t.” This Aiden Grant really had guts. He had been begging to meet Mr. Clarke, but he did not know that Mr. Clarke was now standing directly in front of him. He had even mocked him!

Aiden was stunned and confused. “Manager Carter, what do you mean there isn’t? Doesn’t this rule exist since the founding of the gallery?” The previous owner, Theo Zander, had set this rule for Civil Gallery. No one in Riverdale City dared to oppose it. “Oh, it’s non-existent now,” answered Anna coldly. Bullsh*t! Aiden was dumbstruck. What was going on today?

The great manager of Civil Gallery, Anna Carter, was speaking up for penniless trash. “Manager Carter, you…” Aiden did not know what else to say. He glared at Philip with envy and hate. “What are you still standing here for? Beat it!” He loathed Philip. Anna frowned hard. The way Aiden was scolding her boss irritated her. However, it seemed that Mr. Clarke wanted this settled quietly, so Anna spoke up, sounding annoyed, “Mr. Grant, your attitude is very displeasing. Mr. Clarke has specifically told us not to discriminate people, so the rules of Civil Gallery have changed.”

was already enough to make someone show respect. However, Anna’s next words were like lightning bolts striking down on Aiden. His face turned an uncomfortable green. “But I find Mr. Grant’s attitude earlier dissatisfactory. Our Civil Gallery will never rent

could not control himself. Aiden shot a vicious glare at Philip, who seemed to stifle a smile then humbled himself to say, “Manager Carter, I think we can still negotiate.” Anna kept quiet like she was in deep thought. Aiden was so anxious like he was standing on needles. “Manager Carter, how about this. I’ll

This made Aiden happy. “Alright. If Mr. Grant can do the following task, I will promise to allow the exhibition on Saturday.” A cunning glint flashed in Anna’s eyes. “Please tell me. I can definitely do it,” said Aiden anxiously. “Apologize to him.” Anna pointed at Philip. Aiden’s

he apologize to a poor man like me?” Aiden was gritting his teeth in anger at this. So, you do realize that you’re a poor man! “That won’t do! Mr. Grant has to apologize to you today! Mr. Clarke has instructed us that Civil Gallery is never to allow the vulgar individuals who look down on people into the premise,” Anna said sternly. She did not look like she was acting at

Anna harshly. Aiden immediately said, “No, no, I’m willing to.” Then, feeling extremely conflicted, he turned

his teeth, looking furious. “Don’t get too cocky!” “Manager Carter, this…” Philip turned his head, pretending to look aggrieved. Anna snorted. Aiden immediately started trembling. He clenched down hard on

fists were clenched tight. This piece of trash is getting really cocky under someone else’s power. “Mr. Grant, since this is so hard for you, I think we can just forget about it,” Anna spoke up at just the right time. Her gaze was cold. Aiden’s heart dropped to his stomach. He knew that offending Anna meant offending Mr. Clarke of Civil Gallery. It also meant offending the underground emperor, Theo Zander. After giving it a lot of thought, he finally bowed and said earnestly to Philip, “I’m sorry.” Philip waved and said

that, Anna finally nodded. “Well done. Your sincerity is quite admirable, Mr. Grant. I think we can have our
