The First Heir

Chapter 204

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 and urged Monkey and his gang to hurry up.

Jess was also curious. She could not make sense of the situation no matter how hard she tried.

What else was this guy hiding?

At the same time, she spotted Eric standing alone at the corner on his phone. His face was filled with anger.

What was Eric doing?

After pondering for a while, she took out her phone to send a message to Wynn telling her to be careful.

Russell looked at everyone’s shocked faces. He felt helpless as well.

They did not know that a thumb ring worth 100 million was merely just a toy for Philip.

Mr. Clarke had previously told him to keep his identity a secret.

As such, Russell explained quickly. “I think Philip must have gotten this ring from an antique market. This guy has such a sharp eye. He found the ‘Friends and Spring Mountain’ painting by Tang Yin from an antique market as well.”

“He found it? What’s going on?” Bob was puzzled.

Russell explained briefly before everyone understood the situation. Their suspicions toward Philip vanished as well.

It turned out that a useless piece of trash would always be a useless piece of trash.

They thought Philip had a secret identity. Who knew it was just blind luck? What a lucky bastard!

After Russell left, Bob asked his people to put away the thumb ring.

The whole family looked at each other and smiled.

That coward Philip was such an idiot.

He might not even know the true worth of the thumb ring.

Indeed, a good-for-nothing would not know the true worth of something valuable even if it was in front of him.

Eric started to look down on Philip even more. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

He would not amount to anything his entire life.

Martha and Charles were furious. They left Yates Manor as well.

“I’m so mad, I’m so mad! 100 million! It’s 100 million! Charlie! Philip really wants us to die from anger!”

On the way home, Martha kept on hurling abuses at Philip. She was seething.

“That’s enough. He already gave it away. Do you think you can ask for it back?” Charles said helplessly.

“Of course! Why not? That gift was from Philip, so it belongs to us. Why should it go to the Yates? No, I’m not leaving. You should go back first. I won’t go back until I get the ring.”

Martha had made up her mind. After all, she did not cultivate her snobbishness in just one or two days.

How would she be willing to part with something so valuable?

Back to Philip.

Wynn and Philip sat inside the car Theo had prepared for them.

Inside the car, Wynn was very reserved. After all, the person in the front seat was the underground king of Riverdale.

Philip knew Wynn was suspecting his identity, so he asked quickly, “Theo, thank you. You can just send me to the hospital.”

Theo was shocked, but he understood. He replied with a smile, “It’s fine. It’s nothing. Come have tea with me when you’re free. I have to thank you for what happened last time, Clarke.”

What thing?

Wynn was curious. Her eyes were glued on Philip as she pinched him on the waist. She bit her lip and muttered, “Philip, you have to explain this to me when we get back.”

Philip knew what she was thinking after looking into her eyes. He felt like he was in trouble.

“Theo, I think we have some followers.”

When they were about to go out of the village, the driver noticed something was off.

“Clarke, what are you going to do with them?” Theo looked at the rearview mirror and asked.

“Ignore them,” Philip replied calmly. He could guess who was behind this, but he did not want to make enemies now.

Theo nodded and did not say anything.

However, in a blink of an eye, the two vans behind chased up to them. One of the vans crashed into them and forced the Mercedes-Benz to stop.

Seven to eight muscular men with tattoos got out of the two vans. They were holding things that looked like bats.

“You f*ckers! Get out! Get the f*ck out now!”

The leader of the gang was a man with a buzzcut. He looked extremely violent. He smashed his steel bat on the Mercedes-Benz and pointed at the people inside. He roared while strutting around.
