The first heir novel (Master Yu Who Smokes)
Chapter 58

"What's going on? Aiden's the one who solved this, right? Why is Mr. Collins here for Philip?"

"Are you only seeing it now? Who is Philip? Isn't he just a piece of trash?"

"Martha is unreliable. She's treating us like we're fools!"

The seniors gathered together and started gossiping. Their faces were filled with shock and envy.

Martha could see it now. Mr. Collins had come here for her son-in-law.

She pulled Philip to one side and asked in a flattering way, "Philip, do you know Mr. Collins?"

This was the first time Philip felt this kindness from her.

Philip wanted to tell her the truth, but after pondering, he said, "Mom, you're mistaken. How would I know a man like Mr. Collins? I just called a friend of his and coincidentally, he's responsible for this. Maybe he's the one exerting pressure on him?"

When Martha heard that, she was not suspicious. She nodded and said disappointedly, "I knew it. You're just a coward. How would you know people like Mr. Collins?"

Philip frowned.

His mother-in-law's attitude toward him changed so quickly.

"Alright, leave the rest to me. Don't talk anymore," Martha said coldly.

She was worried that a foolish guy like Philip would ruin things by running his mouth. Plus, she still wanted to flex in front of her friends.

When she thought about this, Martha walked away with her head held high. She pointed at Lamar and scolded, "Mr. Collins, I think you have to get in touch with your conscience. You can't just give me something, you have to give everyone something too."

Actually, when she said that, she was extremely nervous.

After all, she did not know the level of Philip's friend. She did not know how much influence and power Philip's friend had over Lamar.

When she saw Lamar frowning, she felt even more nervous. She was even ready to change her mind.

If it was impossible, then he should just return hers.

Who knew Lamar would soon agree with a smile on his face. "Madam Yates, you're right. I have to tap into my conscience. We'll just go according to our initial plan. Everyone will get returns. Please go register now and I'll ask my staff to get the money from the bank later."

Cheers erupted from the crowd after a few seconds of silence.

"Thank you, Mr. Collins! Thank you, Lucrative Funds Finance Company!"

"Martha, you're so amazing. This is all thanks to you and your son-in-law."

"Martha, are you hiding something from us? Didn't you say Philip is useless?"

After a while, the entire group of seniors was sweet-talking Martha. She felt like she was about to float away.

When they asked about Philip, Martha lied with no shame. "Oh, it's nothing. Philip is still okay. He knows Mr. Collins from a long time ago."

When she said that, everyone started flattering her non-stop. This was the proudest Martha had ever felt.

On the other side, Aiden was ignored by everyone. He glared at Philip with a horrible expression on his face. Then, he snuck away silently.

That was so embarrassing!

Philip beat him!

He even had connections!

When he got into the car, he called his father furiously. "Dad, did you help me ask or not?"

"Ask what? Get your *ss back here right now! Stop getting yourself involved in this! The party with Civil Trading Group is in a few days. Get back here and make preparations," Gordon yelled angrily on the othe side of the phone.

After he hung up the phone, Aiden punched the steering wheel in anger. He glared at Philip through the car window. "Philip Clarke, I'll never forgive you."

When it was done, Martha warned Philip when they were going home. "You have to keep this secret for me, okay? If not, I'll ask Wynn to divorce you! Also, take me to see your friend next time. I have to thank him personally."

Actually, Martha already had a plan. She would prepare more backups as her son-in-law.

She would not change her opinion about Philip because of what happened today.

Trash would always be trash.

With no choice, Philip agreed.

After everyone left, he got into the Benz with Lamar.

A short while later, the car stopped in front of the entrance of Gopher Delivery Services.

Theo and Lamar drove away after Philip got out.

When he got to the entrance, he saw Agnes playing with Mila.

Agnes was a kind and attentive woman. One could tell that she liked Mila a lot.

Today, she was wearing a red girdle skirt. Her long and curly hair that was resting on her back gave her the charm of a mature woman.

"Mr. Clarke, you're here." When Agnes saw Philip, she walked over with Mila. She had a smile on her face.

"Daddy!" Mila opened her arms and asked for hugs happily.

Philip took over and played with Mila for a while. Then, he asked, "How's the progress?"

"I made a reservation. We can go get the bikes now," Agnes said before asking hesitantly, "Mr. Clarke, are you sure you want to change all of the bikes to Harley-Davidsons? They cost tens of millions." Philip smiled and played with Mila. He said, "Yes, change all of them."

In a blink of an eye, Agnes drove her Volkswagen CC with Philip to the Harley-Davidson shop in Maple Road.

Philip walked into the shop first while Agnes went to park the car.

When he got in, he heard a sweet voice.

"Hello, Sir. Are you here to look at bikes? Which one do you have your eyes on? I can introduce it to you. This is the latest Harley Cruiser FXDRTM114. The promotion price for it right now is 340,000 bucks." "Alright, how many do you have?" Philip asked.

"How many?"

The salesperson was stunned. What did he mean by how many?

When he saw the puzzlement on her face, he explained, "It's like this. I like Harleys. So, I want to buy 100 for my staff."

He liked Harleys, so he's buying 100 Harleys for his staff.

What did that mean?

Was he a nouveau riche?
