The First Heir

Chapter 250

Bob quickly regained his senses and picked up his phone. He had another way out; the angel investor!

As long as the angel investor continued to invest in the Yates, there was still a chance for him to make a comeback!

Mr. Clarke. That was right, Mr. Clarke!

That angel investor had mentioned it before that his actions were on the account of Mr. Clarke.

Bob could not wait to find this mysterious and wealthy Mr. Clarke.

However, at this moment.

Philip glanced at his phone placidly and asked with a grin, “Old Master, are you trying to approach the foreign businessman that invested one billion in your family last time to come and save you?”

Bob was startled. His gaze swept across Philip and saw a trace of victory in the latter’s eyes.

Could it be, that Mr. Clarke was…

No, impossible!

Bob shook his head repeatedly and screamed in utter aversion, “It can’t be you! Impossible! You’re nothing but a worthless piece of trash, the useless son-in-law of the Johnston family!”

He would not believe it!

However, the next second, Philip dialed a number on his phone and said, “Buffer, retract that investment of one billion.”

“Sure, my most esteemed Mr. Clarke. I’ll do it right away,” Buffer’s respectful voice was heard from the other end of the line.

He was in the capital city at the moment and had booked a flight to Riverdale for the next day.

As soon as Philip’s voice fell, Bob’s phone rang.

Bob quickly picked up the phone in hope of a piece of good news.

However, another desperate voice was heard from the other end of the line instead, “Old… Old Master, our family has gone bankrupt! The investment of one billion is now gone!”

Ka-thunk!

Bob could no longer take the pressure. His body went limp, and he sank into the sofa as he stared at the chandelier blankly.

He was finished. The Yates were finished.

In under twenty minutes, the prestigious Yates family had fallen from heaven to hell.

At this moment, Bob was paralyzed on the sofa as if he had been drained of blood.

Philip stood up, looked at Bob who was crying on the sofa, and said, “This is the Yates family’s comeuppance. You must reap the bitter fruit that you sowed yourself.”

With that said, Philip was ready to turn around and leave.

However, at this time, Philip’s phone rang. When Philip looked at the display of his phone, he frowned!

He turned around.

Bob knelt on the ground with his phone in his hand. He had aged considerably for some reason. “Philip, I beg of you, please give the Yates a way out!”

Bam, bam, bam!

Bob Yate was already so old. Nevertheless, at that moment, he knelt in front of Philip and kowtowed to him as he begged for mercy!

The once-uppity Bob Yates now looked like a frail, old man, kneeling and begging for forgiveness.

Philip stared at him placidly as he answered the call.

A woman’s voice was heard on the other end of the line, “Philip, I heard from Samson. Grandpa also sent me a message just now. I… I want to beg you… please leave us a way out.”

Silence.

Philip said indifferently, “Jess, I’ll give you two options. First, save the Yates. Second, become Buffer’s student.”

Jess was the only person in the Yates family who had treated Wynn and Philip well, so Philip had not planned to attack her from the beginning.

However, Jess was now begging him to let the Yates off. She only had one option, and she had to make a choice.

Sure enough, Jess fell silent for a long while before finally replying, “I choose to save the Yates.”

“Okay,” Philip responded and hung up the phone.

With his eyes on Bob who was now trembling, Philip said coldly, “On Jess’s account, the Yates family will not be destroyed. However, don’t even think about making a comeback. From now on, not a single member of the Yates family will enter Riverdale. I don’t want to lay eyes on any one of you ever again, otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”

With that said, Philip no longer looked at Bob who was still kneeling and kowtowing on the ground. Instead, he opened the door and stepped out of the house.

Outside the house, Wynn and the others were waiting anxiously. From NôvelDrama.Org.

Seeing Philip come out unscathed, Wynn breathed a sigh of relief. She ran over and hugged Philip while crying, “Don’t leave me alone again. I can share the weight of the burdens that you have.”

Philip returned her hug and said with a smile, “Okay.”

On the other hand, Martha rushed into the house anxiously and saw her elderly father kneeling on the ground. She screeched, “Philip Clarke, what did you do to my father! You good-for-nothing piece of trash!”
