The First Heir

Everyone looked over in the direction of the voice.
Old Master Yates was staring at Philip. His face was icy. Anger rose from his body as he yelled, “Get out of the Yates Manor if
you dare to hit him!”
At this moment, the outer courtyard was filled with people. They did not try to help. They did not even tell them to stop. They
were just standing at one side while watching what was going on.
When they saw Old Master Yates, everyone stood at one side in fear. They all lowered their heads silently.
He was the head of the Yates. Who would dare to provoke him?
If they offended Old Master Yates, they should just get out of Riverdale.
Philip was done for!
Under everyone’s respectful gazes, Old Master Yates approached the two men while his cane clacked on the floor loudly. He
was radiating with anger. He lifted his cane and swung it at Philip’s hand that was raised mid-air.
Smack!
Philip was in pain. His entire right arm was numb.
“You unbridled piece of trash! How dare you hit Eric! Is this your amazing son-in-law, Martha?” Old Master Yates glared at
Martha who was standing behind him and shouted.
Martha was shaking all over from fear. She did not look at the old master directly.
No one would be able to handle the old master when he was mad.
She wanted so badly to chop Philip into pieces right now. This was so embarrassing!
Wynn stood up hurriedly and pulled Philip to one side. When she saw that he was in pain, the tears in her eyes started rolling
down her cheeks uncontrollably.
After Old Master Yates scolded Martha, he turned around and glared at Philip. He roared, “Philip, so you’re really looking down
on the Yates, huh? How dare you start a fight at my party! Do you have any ounce of respect for me?”

Bob was livid. How dare this piece of trash start a fight during his birthday celebration!
Who did he think he was?
What right did he have to start a fight?
Philip’s mouth was gaping from the pain. He swung his arm and said coldly, “Old Master Yates, I’m here to celebrate your
birthday with you. However, Eric kept provoking me to no end. He even insulted Wynn. You didn’t even ask what was going on
and immediately pushed all the blame on me. Aren’t you a little biased? Is Wynn not your granddaughter?”
Bob was taken aback. He looked at Wynn who was standing next to Philip. She was covered in alcohol and her eyes were red.
Then, he looked at Eric behind him. He had a devious smirk on his face. After he noticed the old master looking at him, he
lowered his head and pretended to be a good boy.
However, could he scold Eric in front of so many people?
Of course not!
Martha was his daughter who was married into another family. A daughter who has married her husband was equivalent to water
that had been splashed. Thus, it cannot be retrieved anymore.
Wynn was not a Yates. She was his granddaughter with another last name.
Bob snorted. “Scatter!”
It ended with no conclusion.
Philip had even suffered a beating. His entire right arm was still numb even after sitting down.
Eric was looking at him provokingly at one side. He gave him the finger.
Wynn sat next to Philip and massaged his arm for him. Tears rolled down her cheek like a string of broken pearls. She felt
extremely wronged.
“It’s fine, Wynnie. Don’t cry,” Philip said while feeling hurt.
Wynn was still sobbing. She glared at Philip angrily and said, “Can’t you just endure this?”

Philip smiled toothily and said, “I can endure it if Eric insulted me, but I can’t let him bully you. The Yates is just a small family.
They mean nothing to me. If they continue to go overboard, I don’t mind wiping them out from this world.”
Wynn glared at him and pinched the flesh between his waist. “Stop boasting. Your mom and dad only run restaurants. My
grandpa is powerful. Moreover, the Yates is not a small family.”
Philip touched his nose and did not say anything.
“Cough, cough!”
Jess walked over and coughed a few times. She walked over with some Yunnan Baiyao and looked at Philip coldly. “Can’t you
just sit here properly? Do you have to make everyone mad? You deserved to be hit!”
Jess overheard the first part of what Philip and Wynn had said.
What did he mean by a small family? He even wanted to make the Yates disappear?
This guy was so good at boasting!
Did this f*ckboy lie to Wynn that way to get her too?
She had to find a chance to talk to Wynn.
Philip took the medicine and grinned. “Thank you, Jess.”
Jess ignored him. She took out a book from somewhere and sat down. Then, she started reading it.
The book was about Buffer’s past interviews.
He was the most successful investor in the world!
He was worth hundreds of billions!
He was the person that everyone looked up to!
However, in Philip’s opinion, Buffer was just merely his financial manager.
Philip pondered for a while and had an idea. He decided to find an opportunity to invite Buffer to have a meeting with Jess.

It would be his way of thanking Jess for helping them twice.
“Um, Jess, do you want to meet Buffer?” Philip asked suddenly with a grin on his face.
