The First Heir by Master Yu Who Smokes

Chapter 373

“It was Master Clarke from Clarke Group,” Vernon said with a smile. Wynn froze, her entire body stiffening. It was Master Clarke

again. Who was this Master Clarke? Why did he keep helping her? Just then, a group of people walked through the main doors

to the hall. They carried with them an impressive presence, led by a middle-aged man with a beer belly and a red face. The man

greeted the many tycoons from Riverdale. It was Ronald Harris from Harris Enterprise! That was the main player in Riverdale’s

real estate scene! The moment he showed up, the spotlight turned to him for a while. Many people approached and greeted him.

When Hudson saw Ronald walk in, his expression darkened. He turned to his assistant and said,

“Go, get Ronald Harris over here.” He was very angry that Ronald and his son had taken credit for the young master’s actions.

They nearly pulled the wool over the young madam’s eyes. Over on his side, Ronald was still greeting the others when a man in

a suit ran up to him and said, “Mr. Harris, Mr. Cash is asking for you.” “Mr. Cash?” Ronald paused and promptly left everyone

else behind, strolling up to Hudson. “Oh my my, Mr. Cash! Your reputation precedes you, I’ve been dying to meet you.” Ronald

had plenty of experience in property, and he knew how to strike the exact tone. This was the chairperson of Capital City’s Clarke

Group, of course. He was Master Clarke’s mouthpiece. Furthermore, he had spent many years with the Clarkes, and he had

plenty of clout and connections with the family. If Ronald could win Hudson’s approval, his company and personal finances could

get an unprecedented boost in the future! In fact, he might even be able to surpass Millenium! “Hmph!” Hudson did not look

pleased with him at all, asking coldly, “There’s something I have to ask you, Mr. Harris.”

“Please go ahead, Mr. Cash.” Ronald was somewhat confused. What was happening here? Why did he

feel like Mr. Cash was not happy with him?

“Do you know this person?” Hudson asked, pointing at Wynn who was in front of him. Wynn gave

Ronald a polite nod in lieu of a greeting. Ronald glanced at Wynn and immediately beamed, saying,

“Oh, young Wynn.

You’re here too? That’s great, Joel will be over in a moment.” Wynn turned to look at Ronald as he

greeted her. With a small smile, she asked, “There’s something I want to ask you. After Beacon

Pharmaceutical got into trouble for breaking that contract back then, were you and Joel the ones who

helped us through it?” “Wait, Beacon Pharmaceutical?” Ronald quickly remembered the matter his son

had asked him to help with. The name he mentioned seemed to be Beacon Pharmaceutical. “You must

be kidding, Wynn. Joel did ask me to look into your company’s crisis back then, but there’s only so

much I can do. I couldn’t help you at all. Are you mad about me because of that?” It really was not

them! Joel had lied to her! Why? In that moment, though, Wynn secretly heaved a sigh of relief. After

all, if it was Joel who helped her, she would owe him a favor. How was she supposed to pay it back?

She did not want to get involved with Joel anymore, lest Philip grew angry at her. Right on cue, Joel

showed up flashily in the party hall, dressed in a handsome suit. When he swept his gaze across the

crowd, he saw Wynn chatting merrily with his father. She was as beautiful, elegant, and graceful as

ever! She was practically a pearl shining in the crowd. Joel straightened out his suit and strode up to

her, his expression gentle as he said, “You’re here too, Wynnie.” “And this is?”

Hudson frowned slightly as he asked. “This is my son, Joel, Mr. Cash.

Pardon his behavior.” Ronald’s face was burning up slightly. Something felt wrong here. “Hi, Dad. Mr. Payne, Mr. Cash.” Joel

immediately greeted the old chairmen with a nod. The men nodded back, but the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.

Nevertheless, Joel only had eyes for Wynn now, so he did not notice the tension in the air at all. Wynn was in quite a bad mood

right now. Her expression cold, she looked at Joel and said, “There’s something I want to ask you, Joel.” “What is it, Wynnie?”

Joel said with a smile. He was not blind, so he could tell that Wynn did not look very pleased right now. What was going on here?

Why did everyone look so cross? “After what happened to my company last time, you’re the one who asked Mr.

Harris here to help me, right?” Wynn built up to the crux slowly. Joel paused. Why was she suddenly asking about that? He

looked at his father, who was giving him weird looks to try and convey a message. Joel then looked at Wynn and said with a

smile, “That’s right, Wynnie, I did ask my dad to find someone to help your company. But don’t worry, it wasn’t a big deal, so you

don’t have to harp on it. It was all thanks to Mr. Payne’s help as well, or else I would’ve been quite lost.” “Really?” Wynn was

quite furious now, but she asked again. “Of course, Wynnie. What’s the matter with you? My father is right here, you can ask

him.” Joel looked at his father and smiled. “You useless son!” There was a loud bark!
