The First Heir

That was Theo Zander!
Philip did not know what was good for him. How dare he be so disrespectful?
Bob was the first one to be mad. He yelled at Philip, “Philip, since Mr. Zander is here for you, why are you still sitting? Who do
you think you are? Do you have no manners?”
After Bob’s angry shouting, Eric, Aaron, and some other people started berating him as well.
“Philip, stand up and apologize to Mr. Zander now!”
“That piece of trash really thinks that he’s someone special.”
They were saying more and more nasty things about Philip.
These people did not like Philip for a very long time now. They finally had a chance to chime in.
If Theo got angry, Philip would be done for!
However, Philip only lifted his head slightly and looked at everyone. Then, he grabbed the ladle and took some soup for Wynn.
He said, “This is not bad. It’s good for your body. You should drink more.”
Damn it!
Bob was seething!
This piece of trash was completely disrespecting him!
When he was about to yell at him again, Philip said calmly, “Sit.”
“Alright!”
Theo let out a breath of relief and sat down happily. He sat next to Russell and they nodded at each other when their eyes met.
What the f*ck?
What the hell was going on? This was getting so weird.
Everyone looked at Philip in disbelief. Then, they looked at Theo again.

Theo really sat down like an obedient subordinate.
This must be fake! It must be!
Everyone was in a state of shock. They inhaled sharply.
Even Bob had to swallow his words back into his throat for the first time ever.
He had to reevaluate his opinions on his grandson-in-law.
Bob was confused. He asked in disbelief, “Mr. Zander, the Clarke you’re looking for is Philip Clarke?”
“Of course! Clarke and I are best friends,” Theo said calmly. His expression was neutral, but there was a hint of anger.
He had heard what the old master said when he was yelling at Philip earlier.
These people were blind. They did not know who they were offending and were still trying to be ferocious.
Everyone gasped.
Theo knew this spineless bum?
Eric was seething. How was this possible? Philip was just a piece of trash that everyone hated and despised. How could he sit at
the same table as Theo?
On the other hand, Jess was staring at Philip. This guy only had one nose, two eyes, and one mouth like the rest of them.
Was Philip not just a normal guy?
Wynn was shocked. She pinched Philip’s thigh under the table and asked in a low voice while frowning, “Philip, what’s going on?
How do you know Theo Zander?”
She knew about Russell. He was a successful entrepreneur and also a collector.
She had also heard about Theo. He was a famous boss on the dark side. How did Philip know this kind of person?
Theo chuckled at Wynn and nodded his head. He greeted, “Mrs. Clarke.”
Mrs. Clarke?

Wynn was shocked. She sat with her back straightened and drank her soup.
Everyone around them was also shocked.
This was Theo Zander they were talking about! The Theo Zander who would murder someone without blinking an eye!
Did... Did he just call Wynn Mrs. Clarke?
Oh my gosh!
What a huge piece of news!
When Philip heard that, he frowned and glared at Theo. Theo knew he made a mistake and shut up immediately. He lowered his
head and could not control the tremble in his eyes.
At the same time, everyone was even more confused with Philip and Theo’s relationship.
It was not as clear cut as his relationship with Russell. Charles and Martha were also puzzled.
When did their useless son-in-law have connections with a VIP like Theo?
He was someone who could shake the entire Riverdale with a stomp of a foot.
...
At this moment, everyone was looking at the table nearest to the door with weird glances.
Philip, Wynn, Russell, and Theo were chatting about something with smiles on their faces.
Peter could still keep his cool. He had seen all kinds of things when he was in the organization. However, he could not press
down his curiosity toward Philip.
Who was Martha’s son-in-law?
Paula was sitting together with Samantha. They were looking at that table in anger. “Is Theo a fake? How can he sit with that
useless bum?”

She was envious and jealous, especially when she saw Martha and Charles sitting there to curry favors. Her face started to feel
hot.
Martha was criticizing her son-in-law just a few moments ago.
Now, she was trying to curry favors with him?
What a b*tch!
Soon after, Paula got her father’s orders to go over and find out what was going on.
At the same time, an announcement sounded at the door again.
“The chairman of Apex Group, Mr. George Thomas, is here!”
When everyone heard that name, they could not sit still anymore.
Bob and his group of people jumped up in excitement. Their faces were red, and they started breathing heavily.
“Why is George Thomas here?”
He was the richest man in Riverdale!
