Chapter 259
Wynn stared directly at Philip, her eyes filled with suspicion. Just who was her husband, really? Why was a man as powerful as
Theo Zander treating him with such respect and gravitas? It was not just Wynn, either. Martha and Charles were also looking at
him with eyes widened in surprise. They had met Theo Zander before at the Old Master’s birthday. The Old Master had treated
Theo with significant reverence. Yet now, Theo was treating that useless Philip even more respectfully. What kind of a sick joke
was this?
Martha’s eyes narrowed in suspicion and she looked Philip up and down.
She just could not find anything special or impressive about Philip at all.
With that, she was even more certain now that Theo was a nobody too. If he had to treat a piece of
trash with such respect, he must not be all that either.
Had her old father gone blind? Why was he so polite to a mere thug like that? On the other hand,
Manson also blinked slightly when he saw that Philip had really called in reinforcements. He frowned, a
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbad feeling rising in his heart. He then exchanged another look with his sister and decided to demand
the money anyway. What was there to be scared of? He was the Chief Staff Sergeant, after all! He
would just arrest anyone who tried to resist! Hence, Manson abruptly slammed his hand onto the table,
making the cups on the table jump. The tea spilled everywhere as he roared, “I don’t have all day,
f*ckers! Hurry up and hand over the three million, or else I’m arresting the lot of you!” “Who did you say
you’re arresting?” Theo turned to face him coldly when he heard that, giving Manson a glare. Manson
was still in the middle of his little tantrum, so he nearly exploded at Theo. When he saw who he was
looking at, though, his face instantly turned pale, and his heart pounded in his chest! What the f*ck!
That was motherf*cking Theo Zander, right? No way! Manson thought his eyes were deceiving him, so
he blinked hard and asked in a shaky voice, “A-Are you… the Theo Zander?” Theo straightened up, his
expression stern. Holding his hands behind his back, he looked at Manson quietly before saying, “Yes,
that’s me.” Crash!
Manson was so scared that he fell off the couch. Throwing his image to the winds, he crawled back
onto his feet and jogged up to Theo. He nodded away as he bowed, his body trembling as he asked,
terrified, “M-Master T-Theo… Why are you here?” His legs could not stop shaking, and the corners of
his mouth were twitching like motors. Manson had lost his guts! This was the underground boss of
Riverdale, after all! He had a hand in everything!
That included both the legal and illegal sides of the city! Who would dare to make an enemy of him
callously? That would be simply asking to be killed! Besides, he remembered how subservient Theo
Zander had behaved in front of that young man earlier. That had to mean that the young man was a
formidable figure indeed! It was all over! Manson was feeling very sorry for himself right now. Today
might be the end of him, considering he offended someone so important. “S-Sorry! I didn’t know any
better, Master Theo, forgive me!” Manson hurriedly bowed his head in an apology. As everyone
watched on in surprise, he then turned to Philip and apologized to him too. “Um… Mr. Clarke, right? I’m
sorry. I was wrong. I’m a dog who can’t tell right from wrong. Please spare me just this once.” As he
said that, Manson abruptly turned toward his sister, giving her a look. “Come on, apologize to Mr.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmClarke, and the lady with him. Apologize to their parents too!” Right now, Manson had only one thought
in mind. He just wanted to apologize as soon as he could and beg for their mercy. Otherwise, if Theo
Zander really grew angry at them, they might not get away with their lives.
The flashy woman was proud, and she did not understand why her invincible brother had such a vast
change in attitude after he saw that man. She jeered coldly, “What’s wrong with you, Manny? Who the
hell is he, and why do you have to treat him so nicely? He looks normal to me. You’re the Chief Staff
Sergeant! Why are you scared of him?” Manson wanted nothing more than to strangle his sister right
now. How could she talk to Theo like that?
Did she want to die?! Theo looked at the flashy woman icily and frowned.
“What’s your name?” The others were still processing Manson’s apology from earlier, but now they watched in shock as he fell to
his knees, tears falling freely down his face. “Master Zander! Please, spare us!” Manson howled at the top of his voice and
abruptly kowtowed his apology.
Immediately after that, he got up and slapped his sister across the face furiously! Smack!! He looked at his sister. It was all his
fault for spoiling her. The sound of flesh against flesh reverberated throughout the sales office! Everyone was stunned! What just
happened there?
