The First Heir by Master Yu Who Smokes

Chapter 585

At this moment. Houston walked out from the crowd and pointed at Philip.

He said angrily, “Philip, do you know who you’re talking to? That’s Master Quaid! The young master from the Quaid family in

Capital City!” Houston had a meticulous plan. He would come out and speak up for Marcus so that he could gain some dignity for

him. Through this, he would be able to be closer to Marcus. When Houston said this, the entrepreneur and aristocrats in the

pharmaceutical industry were all berating Philip for being arrogant.

He was not gentlemanly at all! All kinds of criticisms filled the air. They were all saying that Philip should not be here. It was such

a disappointment to have a piece of trash like him over here. Philip was not bothered. He only smiled. However, one could not tell

what he was thinking from that smile.

Was this guy not worried that this young master from Capital City would do something to Beacon?

“Alright, it’s fine. It’s nothing. Philip is just a straightforward person.” Marcus chuckled lightly. Was this

guy admitting to his faults? Wynn stepped out. There was an elegant smile on her face.

She said to Marcus apologetically, “Master Quaid, I’ve heard about you. I didn’t expect to see you in

Riverdale. My husband is not great at making small talks. Please don’t mind him.” Marcus peered at

Philip, then looked at Wynn with a grin on his face. He said admiringly, “Madam Johnston, I’ve heard

about you the moment I came to Riverdale. You’re such an ethereal beauty indeed. You’re not bad for a

woman.” “You’re too polite. How can I compare to you, Master Quaid? You’re Time Magazine’s latest

favorite and a genius in business. I have to learn from you.” Wynn said humbly.

Since she was in the business world, she had to do this. She had to learn how to compliment people

when necessary. “I heard Beacon has a new medicine that’s able to combat cancer. I’m very interested.

I wonder if you have the time to talk about this, Madam Johnston? Perhaps we can even work

together.” Marcus looked at Wynn with a fake smile on his face. He immediately proposed his idea to

her. This woman had an icy aura and was just Marcus’ type. When Philip heard that, his face fell cold.

The Quaids were so forgetful. Wynn giggled and hesitated. Then, she said, “It’s an honor that Master

Quaid is interested in our new medicine. I think we can find time to sit down and talk.” She was

declining him. Wynn knew what he was planning. Marcus’ offer of working with Beacon was fake. He

just wanted to ask her out. However, she did not directly reject him but used a roundabout route instead

so that it would not be so awkward for him. “Haha, alright. I’ll wait for your invitation then, Madam

Johnston.” Marcus chuckled. There was an ominous glint in his eyes. At this moment, Houston looked

at Wynn coldly. “Wynn, Master Quaid is inviting you to talk business with him. That’s such a rare

opportunity for Beacon. How can you reject him? Why? Are you looking down on Master Quaid?”

Anyone with a brain could tell that Houston was targeting Wynn. The Michaels were in a bit of a rough

patch with Beacon recently. It was said that the Michaels pulled back on their investment. Judging from

this, it was probably true.

Marcus was delighted. He did not expect Houston to do this for him. What a loyal dog. At this moment,

Philip placed his glass down and said,

“Houston, what an amazing plan. Why don’t you go and have a girl talk with Master Quaid? There

might even be a spark between you two.”

Everyone looked at Philip with weird glances. They did not know what a useless man like him wanted

to do. When Houston heard this, anger exploded in his chest. He glared at Philip and said angrily,

“Philip, you have no right to talk here.” “Hehe.” Philip chuckled. He stood next to Wynn and stared at

Houston with an imposing manner. He said, “Houston, I don’t care what you’re planning. If you want to

plot against my wife, I should warn you to look at yourself in the mirror first. Don’t think no one dares to

touch the Michaels in Golden City.” Since Philip was standing out now, then this party would definitely

be a farce. Houston was so mad that he was shaking.

He roared, “Philip, you’re just Wynn’s boy toy! You’re a good-for-nothing who depends on your woman!

How dare you talk to me like this? What? Do you think a spineless bum like you has the power to touch

my family? Why don’t you take a piss and look at your reflection in it?” “The Michaels?

Soon. I hope you won’t kneel down and beg me when the time comes.”

While saying that, Philip’s eyes were glinting ominously. Houston backed away subconsciously. He forced himself to be calm as

he smiled coldly.

“Why? Are you going to take action against me? Just look at yourself. If you dare to do anything here, I’ll make your wife’s

company go bankrupt tomorrow!” Philip frowned. A cold aura was emitting from his body.

Houston felt as if he was going to meet his demise. After that, he saw Philip waving his hand at him. Slap! The sound of the slap

reverberated across the hall. It was quick yet brutal. Houston was weak and had been hollowed out by Shirley. How would he be

able to endure Philip’s slap? He flew backward after he was slapped. Houston clutched his face and fell on the floor. The corner

of his lips was stained with blood while his face was extremely swollen. Everyone was stunned by the sudden slap. This was a

high-end party in Riverdale. All of the guests here were giants of the pharmaceutical industry. Plus, Marcus Quaid, the young

master from an influential family in Capital City was also here. How could a useless bum slap the young master of the Michaels

family without even thinking twice?
