Chapter 1654
The First Heir
Philipâs temper flared. After all, he was the heir of the Clarke family, and even this chamber of
commerce belonged to him. Although he kept a low profile, he could not allow these bugs to harass
and look down on him.
âYouâre pretty tough, huh?â
The security captain, Dave Carter, looked at Philip with sarcasm.
Was this silly kid not right in the head?
Did Philip not see his people standing behind him? How dare he act tough? He was simply putting
himself at gunpoint and looking for death!
âCome on, boys, kick him out for me!â
The corners of Daveâs eyes froze as he said viciously, âItâs really an interesting day today, meeting a
blind idiot with no foresight.â
In a flash, several security guards rushed over and pushed Philip to drive him away.
Suddenly!
An angry rebuke rang out at the entrance of the Uppercreek Chamber of Commerce!
âStop it!â
Hoyt Luther had run down with his assistant. As soon as he went out, he saw a group of people
surrounding Young Master Clarke. By the looks of it, they were going to drive him away!
This was a mutiny!
This bunch of fools!
âD-Director Luther, what brings you here in person?â
As soon as Dave saw Hoyt, he immediately bent down to greet him respectfully.
However⦠Smack!
Hoyt slapped Daveâs face fiercely, causing the latter to become dizzy!
âIâll take care of you later!â
Hoyt gritted his teeth before trotting to Philip. He stood at attention, bent over, and bowed at 90
degrees. He respectfully greeted, âYoung Master Clarke, sorry Iâm late and caused you to find yourself
in such a situation.â
Thump!
Ruby Ford, who was at the side, was already antsy the moment she saw Hoyt. At this moment, she
was completely flustered when she heard Director Luther addressing Philip as Young Master Clarke.
âDirector, what are you doing? Why are you so respectful to a bankrupt loser?â
Ruby made the last struggle as she asked incredulously with a hint of surprise in her beautiful eyes.
âA bankrupt loser?â
Hoyt turned around and looked at Ruby coldly until the latterâs legs went weak.
Then, in front of the crowd, he solemnly introduced to everyone, âThis is the founder of our Uppercreek
Chamber of Commerce, Young Master Philip Clarke!â
Uproar!
All the security guards and Ruby dropped their jaws in surprise, their faces full of disbelief and shock!
âThis⦠How is this possible?â
Ruby was flustered, her eyes flickering as she scanned Philip back and forth.
Ruby immediately retorted, âDirector Luther, you must be mistaken. I know this guy and heâs nothing
but a loser. Heâs the live-in son-in-law of the Johnston family in Riverdale and his wifeâs name is Wynn
Johnston. I know him very well. Heâs just a bankrupt young master. How could he be the founder of the
chamber of commerce?â
This was absolutely impossible! Philip was nothing but a wimp.
âRuby Ford! Are you saying Iâm senile and recognized the wrong person?â
Hoytâs face went cold and snorted.
That snort made Ruby short of breath from fear. Her knees went weak and she almost stumbled to the
floor, not daring to look Philip in the eye at all.
How could she doubt Hoytâs words? He was actually the founder of the Uppercreek Chamber of
Commerce?!
Was he not bankrupt? Was the news she got wrong?
âB-Brother Clarke, Iâm sorry. I was wrong.â
Ruby bit her red lip and walked up to Philip, bending over at 90 degrees.
