Chapter 1685
The First Heir
âYoung man, where did your card come from?â the shop owner asked nervously.
Philip was taken aback and said, âItâs mine. Why? Do you recognize this card?â
When the owner heard that the card belonged to Philip, he immediately stood in awe. He respectfully
handed this bank card back to Philip, shook hands with him, and said, âHello, please let me introduce
myself. Iâm the owner of this store, Rowan Holmes. I once had the privilege of seeing this black card
from a business partner of mine. I know full well what this card represents!â
Mr. Holmes had a respectful look on his face.
âMy last name is Clarke,â Philip said flatly.
âClarke?â
Mr. Holmes was startled. He quickly turned around and questioned the shop attendant with a
reprimanding tone, âWhatâs with all the noise just now? Did you offend this gentleman?â
Several attendants came where the boss was, stood in line, and lowered their heads.
The boss was giving a lecture and this was the rule.
The attendant who mocked Philip spoke up, âMr. Holmes, you might not be aware of this but this
person caused trouble in the store just now. He clearly canât afford to buy anything but he still disturbed
other customers. I⦠We were just about to drive him out.â
Drive him out?
Mr. Holmes almost died from shock.
Fortunately, he came out early. Otherwise, it would be a disaster!
âDamn it! What the hell are you doing? You almost got me into big trouble, do you understand?â Mr.
Holmes scolded angrily.
The attendant noticed that Mr. Holmesâ expression was a little odd and quickly said aggrievedly, âMr.
Holmes, they were acting like a dog in the manger, trying on clothes but not buying anythingâ¦â
The attendant added fuel to the fire as she described what had happened just now, emphasizing that
Wynn and Joy only tried on the clothes without buying anything. She also said that their behavior
affected the other customersâ shopping experience.
After hearing this, Mr. Holmes also had some doubts and hesitation.
If what the attendant just said was true, the young man holding the exclusive bank card of the Clarke
family was indeed a little suspicious.
If he really was the holder of the bank card, he could even buy the entire store and not just the clothes
inside it. In that case, why was he acting so inhibited? Besides, seeing Philip dressed so plainly, there
was nothing noble about him and he looked like an ordinary person at first glance. Would a person with
this appearance have anything to do with that family?
For a moment, Mr. Holmes felt that he was a little impulsive earlier for blindly respecting the young
man. At this time, Henley came over and introduced himself. âMr. Holmes, hello. Iâm Henley Dill, the
junior proprietor of DT Coal Mine.â
Rowan glanced at him. He did not like such rich young masters very much, but out of courtesy, he still
said politely, âHello, Young Master Dill.â
Henley said, âWell, Mr. Holmes, I hope you wonât give this shop attendant a hard time. What she said is
true. I can testify that these people are simply here to cause trouble. Itâs still alright if theyâre not buying
anything but when they saw us buying some clothes, they even provoked us and threatened to buy all
the clothes in the store. I think theyâre simply here to cause trouble.â
âThatâs right!â
Clara Nolan also stepped forward at this time and said, âHow would they have any money to buy
clothes? One is a superfluous tramp while the other is a useless live-in son-in-law. Mr. Holmes, weâre
your genuine customers while these people are sh*t-stirrers. You should quickly kick them out!â
âThisâ¦â Rowan was a little hesitant.
His expression was noticed by the scheming Henley.
He stepped forward and said, âMr. Holmes, from what you said just now, youâre hesitant because of the
card in his hand, right?â
Henley pointed to the black card in Philipâs hand as he spoke. He had heard the conversation between
Rowan and Philip clearly just now. Mr. Holmes respected Philip because of this card.
âAlthough I donâ t know what kind of card that is, donât you think itâs suspicious that a loser is holding it
in his hand? If this card is really so important, would these people be in such a miserable state? This
card is probably a fake. You must not be fooled by them.â
Henley said flippantly with narrowed eyes.
