The First Heir by Master Yu Who Smokes

Chapter 118

Wynn was shocked somewhat out of her wits. Why would they call Philip…

Mr. Clarke? Wait! This man… This man was the owner of Virtuous Court, Javier Morris! He had personally attended Wynn’s father’s birthday party last time, bringing with him good wine and even a platinum membership card! Besides, Wynn clearly remembered that he had mentioned Mr. Clarke last time too. Back then, everyone was looking down on Philip, so naturally they would never associate that name with him. Only Wynn paid a little extra attention to that, though soon she too forgot about that as well. Now, though… Right here and now... Javier had approached them once again.

For now, could you wait for me outside?” Wynn frowned her beautiful brows, looking at Philip in confusion.

province. That was why his restaurant had branches all across Riverfront Province. It was almost a monopoly! Javier’s background and resources alone warranted caution from Aiden. Hence, Aiden treated him relatively politely. Javier saw Philip frown, and the former immediately straightened up. He approached Aiden head-on and looked at him coldly, saying, “Mr. Grant, this here is my territory.

Aiden had a rich and powerful father, and offending him would not do Javier any good. Aiden chuckled coldly. “Mr. Morris, are you trying to protect that idiot behind you?” Idiot? Smack! Javier simply slapped Aiden across the face! The slap was so sudden that it

hurriedly holding his nose. All his life, Aiden had never suffered such a
