The seven or eight young men and women immediately looked at Philip with contempt.

"Have y'all seen enough? Scram off somewhere you're actually welcome."

That was when Howard stepped forth and tried to shoo them off impatiently.

"Haha, what's the matter? Are you afraid of embarrassing yourselves too? If you are, shouldn't you get the hell out of here?"

Samantha crossed her arms in front of her chest, looking down her nose at them.

"Shut up! Seriously, Samantha Benson, don't you have anything better to do? I want to stay here, so I'll stay. What the hell does that have to do with you?"

Phillip snapped back, clearly angry now.

"Hmph! R*tard!"

Samantha scoffed, "You're a turtle who's never left your tiny shell. Stay here if you like, then you'll see how puny you really are.

"Let's go!"

Samantha turned around, sticking up her perky butt.

Yolanda, Joshua and the rest happened to witness that scene too.

"Haha, look at that. Joshua. Philip sure is useless. He took all that scolding without even fighting back," Yolanda taunted him.

Joshua shook his head with a helpless laugh too, feeling completely disappointed with Philip.

While they were busy clashing with each other, the Riverdale businessmen on the other end had finished greeting Hudson Cash and were now taking their seats.

All of a sudden!

Hudson saw the group gathered at the door, and he saw his young master, Philip, amongst them!

It was the Young Master!

The Young Master had arrived!

He threw his manners to the sails and beamed at the people seated next to him. "Everyone, Master Clarke is here."

"Where?" they gasped.

Hudson's eyes were shining with excitement as he stood up and led the crowd to the door.

When the Riverdale businessmen saw that Hudson and the other bigwigs were back on their feet and leading away a gaggle of chairpersons toward the door in a hurry, all of them knew that something was up!

"It must be Master Clarke! He must be here!"

"Come on, let's go! Keep up! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

These businessmen were each craftier than the last. They naturally realized that any guest who could warrant Hudson Cash's personal greeting had to be important indeed!

It had to be Master Clarke, no doubt about it!

Ronald Harris was no Average Joe either. The second Hudson stood up, he was already hot on his tail.

The group followed behind Hudson and walked toward the door.

However, there were only a few young people gathered at the door. Master Clarke was nowhere to be seen.

Was he not here yet?

"Hey, move aside. Master Clarke is almost here."

Someone pointed at Frank, Phillip, and the others, yelling at them to move.

If these clueless young kids really got in Master Clarke's way, their parents would be the ones to pay.

The young people turned around and immediately froze!

Businessmen from the entire hall were surging toward them. They even saw their own parents in the crowd.

"Step aside, Kale! Master Clarke will be here soon, don't block the way."

An extravagantly-dressed woman yelled at her child from afar.

Frank turned around and jumped in surprise too. Judging from the crowd, Master Clarke was clearly on the way!

He turned around and glared at Philip, warning him, "Just you wait, I'll make you pay later!"

Philip just smiled calmly.

When Frank saw that Philip had no intention of moving, he laughed. "Why the hell are you still standing there, Philip? Can't you see all these businessmen here to greet Master Clarke?" "Oh, I can see them alright."

Philip said mildly.

"Haha, so why aren't you hauling *ss? Good dogs stay out of their master's way, don't you know?" Frank snorted.

Samantha had long since stood to the side, and now she was telling her girl friends, "Do you see that? He's truly good-for-nothing. In fact, he's too dense to know what's good for him. Standing in the way like a r*tard, let's see how they throw him out now!"

"Sammy, how could such an idiot really be your cousin-in-law?"

"That's right, I can't believe it! He's just standing there like a statue."

"I know, right? I can't believe such a disgusting r*tard managed to make it in." Samantha hurled insults at him, making Philip sound like worse than dirt.

"Hey, Philip, why aren't you moving? Don't get in Master Clarke's way later, I want to actually see Master Clarke's glorious visage later."

Yolanda yelled out from the crowd, her words dripping with sarcasm.

Everyone was already insulting Philip, so of course she had to join the party.

Frank laughed as well. "Get your *ss to the side if you want to see him, Philip. You should consider it an honor of a lifetime that you get to meet Master Clarke."

"Hey, who is that man? Don't stand in the way, move, move!"

"Hurry up and move aside, Master Clarke is almost here."

Some other people in the crowd began complaining.

All because Philip was standing in the way.

Philip did not say anything. He just looked at Frank calmly, taking in their taunts and jeers.

At the same time, Wynn, who was in the waiting room, received a message from the attendants. Master Clarke was here!

She did up her make-up and sent Philip a text, saying, "Come pick me up later, Phil. I'm almost done here, will be meeting Master Clarke soon."

Once she sent that text, Wynn stood up and made her way to the main hall, elegantly holding up the hems of her long black evening dress.

When she appeared at the hall, she saw Hudson Cash standing up and heading toward the door with everyone else.

Master Clarke was here.

Wynn took a deep breath and pouted her delicate lips. She patted her chest and clenched her little hands, secretly cheering herself on. 'You can do it, Wynn Johnston! You can!' She had to thank Master Clarke properly!

He had already helped her twice, after all.

Wynn was very curious right now. Was this Master Clarke really someone she knew?

Why else would he help her?

Wynn put down her hem and gracefully followed the crowd toward the door.

Just then, Hudson and the others were already standing in front of Philip. Respectfully, they said,

"Hello, Young Master."
