Chapter 377
The First Heir
Hudson reached out his hand enthusiastically to shake Philipâs.
Everyone was stunned!
All of them had their jaws drop, their hearts in utter turmoil!
Frank, Samantha and the others were even more taken aback. Samantha especially had her mouth
open so wide that she could stuff two whole eggs into it!
Someone, please tell her what was going on here!
Joshua, Yolanda and their group were stunned speechless as well. They stared intently at Philip, who
wore a composed smile.
No, that could not be!
It must be a mistake!
They were not the only ones who thought that. Samantha and her friends were similarly in disbelief!
âDid you make a mistake, Mr. Cash? Thereâs no way heâs Master Clarke, heâs my third auntâs son-in-
law who married into the family. Heâs a good-for-nothing food deliveryman.â
Frank said snidely, interrupting Hudsonâs handshake with Philip.
âThatâs right, he canât possibly be Master Clarke. Heâs just a poser of a peasant! Thereâs no way heâs
Master Clarke.â
Samantha shook her head like a bobble.
That had to be the joke of the century!
If Philip really was Master Clarke, Samantha would probably fall faint to the ground.
âI guarantee that heâs not Master Clarke, heâs just a poor man pretending. I mean, I even saw him
flirting with a woman last time. Iâm sure he only made it in because of his sugar mommy next to him.
Heâs nothing more than a gigolo!â
In the crowd, Yolanda was mad with rage right now, so she shrieked at the top of her voice.
How could this be?
How could Philip be the Master Clarke she had been dying to meet all day?
He did not fit her image of Master Clarke at all!
Philip did not say anything. He just looked at Frank, Samantha, and the others calmly.
His composure raised a hint of suspicion in their hearts. How could he be so calm?
âPhilip, get out of the way! Do you really think you could impersonate Master Clarke just because you
have the same last name? Donât you know who these people here are? Do you think you can really
impersonate him?â
Frank rushed forth and tried to shove Philip aside, but Howard stopped him.
âWho the f*ck do you think youâre shoving? Open your filthy-*ss eyes and look! Philip Clarke is the very
Master Clarke youâve been waiting for tonight.â
Howard declared sternly.
âHaha, what a joke!â
Frank laughed coldly and said decisively, âIf heâs Master Clarke, then Iâm the richest man in the world!â
Ridiculous!
How could that peasant Philip possibly be Master Clarke, who invested an entire billion at once?
Philip was good-for-nothing trash, through and through!!
He was a wretch who had to borrow money to pay his daughterâs medical bill!
How could a peasant like that have a billion in assets?
âHoward Lowe, youâre such a liar! If Philip really is Master Clarke, Iâll run around Riverdale naked. Care
to take me up on that bet?â
Yolanda said shrilly.
Hahaha!
The crowd burst out laughing.
The people around them began hurling insults at Philip too, mainly because Philip was just too young.
Besides, Frank, Samantha, Yolanda and the others were exposing him without a thought. How could
someone like that be Master Clarke?
Seriously, how could Hudson Cash get it wrong?
Did he even forget how his young master looked like?
Hudson looked stormy as he roared, âThatâs enough!â
He stepped forth, pointing at Yolanda and the others as he demanded, âWho are you lot? How dare
you treat the Young Master so disrespectfully! Who let you in here? Whereâs the security? Throw them
out!â
He took them down in an instant!
Everyone immediately held their breaths, staring at him in shock.
Frank looked pale. What did Mr. Cash mean by that?
Could it be thatâ¦
No way!
While everyone was stunned and confused, Hudson bowed to Philip at a perfect polite ninety-degrees.
Like an elementary student who had made a mistake, he said, âIâm so sorry, Young Master. It was my
mistake. Iâll have the guards throw these disrespectful wretches out immediately.â
As he said that, he quickly yelled at the security guards, âWhat are you waiting for? Get these people
out of my sight!â
That was the Young Master they had insulted!
If he offended the Young Master, he might even lose his seat as the chairman of Capital Cityâs Clarke
Group.
The guards ran up to them in a panic once they received the order.
Even an idiot could now see that the so-called good-for-nothing trash was none other than the
legendary Master Clarke!
Frank was so taken aback that he could not even spell his name right now. He stammered, âA-Are you
really Master Clarke?â
Philip said with a calm smile, âOne and the same.â
âAh!â
Meanwhile, Samantha screamed and clapped her hand over her mouth. Her pretty eyes were wide as
saucers. âNo way, how could this be! Youâre just a useless bum, how could you possibly be Master
Clarke?â
Philip was Master Clarke.
In that case, why did he stay a useless son-in-law at the Johnstonâs place for the past three years?
Yolandaâs eyes had also widened, and her breathing quickened. She could not accept this reality. She
had been waiting for Master Clarke for so long, and she was willing to bed him even if he was an old
man.
Yet, why was he Philip?
Philip was clearly a worthless wretch!
Yolanda was slightly dizzy. Her feet felt so far away and she nearly lost her balance a few times.
What did she just do?
This was the Young Master of Capital Cityâs Clarke Group, a rich heir worth billions!
Clearly, Yolanda had underestimated Philipâs financial worth.
As for Joshua, he had long since slipped into the crowd. Today, he found out just how much of a
dumbf*ck he had been!
He actually insulted Philip, who could spend a billion like it was nothing.
When he remembered how he had taunted Philip for being poor at that reunion that day, how he
showed off his company and even offered to give Philip a job, Joshua felt so mortified that he could not
possibly stay here.
Just how much had Philip been hiding from them?
To think he was actually that loaded!
