Chapter 56
When he thought about that, Lamar laughed and said, “Oh, Mr. Grant. I’m sorry I called you the wrong name. Please forgive me.” When Aiden heard that, his
nervousness vanished. When Lamar had called him Mr. Clarke earlier, he was extremely nervous. He knew better than anyone else that he had not done
anything. Did his father do something? Possibly. After all, he was his father. There was no reason for him to not help him, right? When Aiden heard Lamar saying
that he called the wrong name, he let out a sigh of relief. He smiled and said, “Mr. Collins, you’re so hilarious. I thought that trash over there called you.” Philip
was just standing there on one side of the room. He frowned when Aiden suddenly mentioned him. On the other hand, Lamar continued to say in a flattering
manner, “Mr. Grant, you must be joking. How would I know a poor fella like him?” The man before him, on the other hand, was a very important person. He must
get on his good side. He just needed to return the money and houses. It was no big deal.
According to Theo, Mr. Clarke, or Mr. Grant, was someone who could control the world. If he could get his recognition, he would be able to prosper. “Mr. Collins,
since you’re here, please take care of this mess. I don’t want to add more fuel to the fire. Please do your best.” Aiden put his hand behind his back and lifted his
chin. He looked arrogant and obnoxious.
It was as if Lamar did not matter to him. After all, Splendor Education Group had assets that were worth one billion! Plus, his
father knew so many leaders from different industries. If Lamar could come here to return the money, it meant that his father had
given him a lot of pressure. Of course, these were all Aiden’s imaginations. He did not know what was really going on. Lamar
really thought Aiden was Mr. Clarke. He nodded and bowed before saying, “Of course, of course. You’re absolutely right, Mr.
Grant.”
Martha and a group of seniors were very surprised when they saw Aiden lecturing Lamar like a teacher lecturing his student. As
such, Martha was more determined to pair up Aiden and Wynn. The seniors were all praising Aiden while surrounding him. They
were talking about him among each other. “Aiden is amazing. It’ll be great if my son’s like him.” “Yeah, he’s the president of an
enterprise at such a young age. He’s also the young master of Splendor Education group. No one can compare to him.” “Look at
the other guy. He’s just standing there like a fool. He was still talking so loudly just now. How embarrassing!” The seniors started
criticizing Philip again mid-conversation. Philip was helpless as well. Was Lamar an idiot?
How could he get the wrong person? However, he could not do anything.
Should he go up there and tell him? It would be like asking for death. The seniors would definitely kill him. Never mind, then.
Aiden saw Philip’s bitter expression and started sneering at him in his heart. He walked to him and patted his shoulder. He
comforted pretentiously, “Philip, don’t be sad.
Take one step at a time, and perhaps one day, you’ll be like me. Even though it might be in your next life, but at least you have a
goal now.” After he said that, Aiden could not help but let out a huge laugh. Everyone started to laugh along with him. Martha
started laughing as well. Her hatred toward Philip was getting more and more intense. She had never treated Philip like he was
her son-in-law. Lamar walked over and interrupted Aiden. “Mr. Grant, um, do you have time? Theo is here and wants to meet
you. Why don’t we talk in the car?” Aiden was shocked. There was puzzlement in his eyes. Who the f*ck was Theo? What the
hell was going on with Lamar? “I don’t care if he’s Theo or Teddy. I don’t know him. Do you think I’ll just meet anyone?”
Aiden was annoyed. When he said that, Lamar was stunned. He did not know Theo? Lamar started to feel agitated. Then, he remembered what happened
earlier when he called him Mr. Clarke. Did he really get the wrong person? At the same time, Lamar got a message on his phone. It was from Theo. “Lamar
Collins! You got the wrong f*cking person! That one is Mr. Clarke!” Boom! All of a sudden, Lamar’s head started buzzing. His breathing became rapid and his
pupils constricted. ‘F*ck! ‘I got the wrong f*cking person!’ Lamar grabbed his phone and stared at Philip who had a weird expression on his face. Sweat started
pouring out from his forehead.
While Aiden was pointing sarcastically and laughing at Philip, a sound was heard. Smack! Lamar was furious. He approached Aiden who was smirking evilly and
slapped him across the face. He yelled, “You motherf*cker! Who the f*ck are you?” At that moment, everyone was shocked.
