The First Heir

“Theo Zander? Which Theo Zander?”
“Mr. Theo Zander from Theodorus Charity Organization?”
“The underground king of Riverdale, Theo Zander? Why is he here?”
Before the relatives and younger generation of the Yates in the courtyard came back to their senses, everyone in the hall was
starting to get antsy.
Compared to an entrepreneur and well-known collector like Russell, Theo was popular in Riverdale because of his power with
the dark side.
If a powerful man like that did not come here sincerely, it could be said that he was here to take someone’s life.
It was only natural for Bob to be nervous.
Not everyone could get in touch with a powerful man like Theo. Plus, no ordinary person could invite him to anything.
While everyone was in a state of shock, Theo was already walking into the courtyard with a smile on his face. His white suit and
fedora were radiating an air of dominance. One would feel like they were being crushed by a mountain with his presence.
It was Theo Zander indeed—the underground king of Riverdale!
His overbearing presence dominated the entire party.
Jess was shocked. This was an extremely powerful and famous man in Riverdale. Why was he at the Yates’ family party?
Her grandpa did not know him.
After a while, Jess’ eyes landed on Philip who was sitting calmly. Russell came here because of him, so was Theo also here for
him?
No way! Impossible!
A man like Theo would not just see anyone.
Samson was the first one who approached him. He had a lot of business relations with Theo’s company, so he knew Theo.

Aside from Russell, not a single person in the party had as much wealth and power as Theo.
As such, Samson was super excited.
He had to entertain this man well.
‘I didn’t expect to attract a person of this caliber to our party.’
Peter and Bob walked over quickly.
“Hello, my dear Samson,” Theo nodded his head slightly and said.
The two had business relations, so they met a few times. However, they were not close.
In the next second, everyone’s eyes widened as they lifted their ears.
“Hello, Old Master Yates. I’m here for Mr. Clarke,” Theo said with a smile. His eyes were already on Philip who was sitting near
the door.
“Mr. Clarke?” Bob walked over and squinted his eyes. He was puzzled. “Which Mr. Clarke? I’ll ask someone to call him over.”
In Bob’s eyes, only an influential and powerful person could make Theo show up at his party.
The only person here with Clarke as their last name was Philip.
Was it him?
Impossible!
He was just a spineless bum!
Everyone at the party was curious. A powerful man like Theo was here for someone. How powerful was that person?
Plus, that person also had Clarke as their last name?
Everyone’s eyes shifted to Philip who was sitting at the corner.
Before this, Russell had come all the way for him. Was Theo also here for him?
“Does that good-for-nothing know Theo? How is that possible? This is so weird,” Paula said in jealousy.

She felt like she had just eaten ten catties of lemon.
“That piece of trash knows Theo Zander? No way! He’s just a piece of trash. This must be a joke.” Eric was unhappy. His
eyebrows were knitted together tightly.
All of a sudden, he felt like he did not understand that coward anymore.
Why did he feel an air of mysteriousness surrounding that guy?
Initially, he was not concerned about Philip at all. However, he started to feel alarmed when he saw Russell’s attitude toward him.
Now, Theo was here.
Wynn did not say anything. She sat next to Philip with her eyes glued on him. There was curiosity in her eyes.
She felt that something was different about her husband.
Did his family only own restaurants?
When everyone was looking over at Philip in puzzlement, that guy was merely drinking his soup calmly. It was as if he was not
bothered at all.
“Am I mistaken?” Bob was puzzled. Then, he shook his head.
However, in the next second, something caused everyone at the party to open their mouths in surprise.
Theo walked through the crowd and strode over to Philip. He put his hands together and said respectfully to him, “Mr. Clarke, it’s
so difficult to get in contact with you.”
Theo Zander, the underground king of Riverdale was so respectful toward Philip. It was as if a student was greeting his teacher.
“You’re here as well?”
Philip frowned. He was unhappy. What the hell was George planning? Did he want the entire world to know?
How should he explain to Wynn when he got back?

Before Theo got here, he received George’s message. He told him to be low-profile but at the same time, he could not bring
shame to Philip.
That was why he addressed Philip like that.
When he saw that Philip was unhappy, Theo trembled in fear. Cold sweat started to drench his back. Did he say the wrong
thing?
Just like that, Theo stood respectfully behind Philip while the latter was still drinking his soup. He did not even try to be
courteous.
With that, everyone’s breathing started getting heavier and heavier.
