Chapter 449
The First Heir
Titusâ voice was rough and boorish. The customers and salespeople in the shop all shut up from fear.
When they looked over at the door, they saw that it was Master Berkshire!
However, Titusâ face looked pale. His face was covered in cold sweat as he glanced at Philip who had
a cold expression on his face. Immediately, his heart sank.
âSir!â
More than then salespeople addressed him respectfully and went back to their work stations.
Master Berkshire was a well-known penny-pincher. He had a lot of tricks up his sleeves when it came
to reducing his employeeâs wages.
If he caught them slacking off, the salespeopleâs salary this month would be reduced by half.
âDad, why are you here?â
Colton did not know what was going to happen. He walked over with a grin on his face.
Slap!
Titus slapped him on the face heavily. He did not hold back.
Everyone was shocked. They did not even dare to breathe loudly.
What was going on?
Master Berkshire slapped his son the moment he came here. What were they playing?
Colton was also shocked. He clutched his red and swollen face before yelling, âDad, are you insane?
Why did you hit me?â
âIâm insane? You rascal, youâre always causing trouble for me!â
Titus was about to explode from anger. If Colton was not his son, he would have chopped him into
pieces. âDo you know what youâve done? Go and apologize to him right now!â
âApologize? To him?â
Colton was beyond shocked. He pointed at Titus and raised his voice. âDad, are you a dotard? Youâre
asking me to apologize to a dumb*ss?â
âYouâre going to kill me with anger! If I donât kill you today, my nameâs not Titus Berkshire!â
Titus walked over to slap Colton again, but Tasha stopped him.
Tasha was close to Master Berkshire. They had gone to hotels together a few times, though that
remained a secret between them.
âSir, Sir, please donât be mad. Young Master Berkshire didnât do anything wrong,â Tasha said frantically.
âDidnât do anything wrong? Heâs going to kill me with anger!â
Titus roared. He did not have time to lecture his son anymore. He bowed and smiled flatteringly at
Philip. He apologized, âUm, Sir, Iâm so sorry. Coltonâs just a kid. Youâre a magnanimous person, please
donât fuss over minor matters with him. Iâm apologizing to you on his behalf.â
âDad! Why are you apologizing to this loser?â
Colton could not believe this. His father was apologizing to a loser who depended on his woman. âHe
came in to buy something and doesnât have the money for it. Itâs good enough that weâre not kicking up
a storm over it.â
âShut up!â
Titus was so mad that his liver started to hurt. His entire body was trembling from anger. Cold sweat
started pouring out from his skin.
âMaster Berkshire, your son has such a bad temper. He said I canât afford your necklace.â
At this moment, Philip said flatly. His voice was like a knife made out of ice and it was stabbing into
Titusâ heart.
Philip knew Titus. His memory was good, and that man looked like one of the Berkshires.
What a coincidence. This shop was owned by the Berkshires.
Thud!
Titus knelt on the floor
Yes, he was kneeling.
He knelt before Philip in front of everyone. He kept wiping away the cold sweat on his forehead. His
hands were also trembling non-stop.
âDad!â Colton yelled, âWhat are you doing?â
Titus glared at Colton and ignored him.
âMr. Clarke, Mr. Clarke, itâs all my fault. Iâm apologizing to you on behalf of my son.â
Titus said frantically. He asked Tasha to fetch the sapphire necklace quickly. âThis necklace is
compensation from me to you. Itâs for you, Mr. Clarke. Oh, no, itâs for this beautiful woman.â
âMaster Berkshire, itâs not your fault. Itâs no use if you apologize to me.â
Philip maintained a cold and calm expression the entire time.
Now, everyone could tell that Philip had an extraordinary identity. He was not just a spineless coward.
The customers who criticized him just now all shut their mouths. They did not dare to breathe too
loudly.
Who dared to speak?
Even Master Berkshire of Ethereal Jewels was kneeling in fear before Philip.
Titusâ expression froze. He understood immediately. He got up and approached Colton. He pressed
onto his head and said, âKneel!â
Colton was stubborn. How could he kneel just like this? He yelled, âYou do it if you want to. I donât know
what the hell is wrong with you. Heâs just a penniless fool and youâre kneeling for him. I canât embarrass
myself like this. The Berkshires canât embarrass themselves like this!â
Titus started to panic. Flames of anger erupted from his chest as he roared to Colton, âWhat do you
know? Do you know who he is? Do you know how the Berkshires became a second-tier family?â
Colton was taken aback as something clicked in his head. He looked at Philip in disbelief as his eyes
widened.
âHowâs that possible? Dad, youâre kidding! How is heâ¦â
Colton was shocked. He immediately remembered the taboo topic circulating within the Berkshire
family.
How formidable! How terrifying!
âKneel!â
Titus did not care about anything anymore. He pressed down on Coltonâs neck to make him kneel. âMr.
Clarke, my son is apologizing to you right now. A man of great moral stature doesnât remember the
offenses committed by one of low moral stature. Please forgive him. You can take this necklace, no,
everything in this shop. You can choose and wear anything you want. Itâs my kind regards to you.â
Titus was sincere.
