Two days ago, Cloud Pavilion sold an item at a sky-high price—130 million!
It was a jade ornamental thumb ring that once belonged to Emperor Qianlong!
When news got out, the entire city was shaken to its core!
It had been quite a while since someone dared to bid like this.
130 million!
The buyer was so rich and imposing!
Don contacted his people to get in touch with the buyer immediately. However, they could not find them and were rejected directly when an invitation was sent out.
This buyer was so mysterious. They must be someone rich and powerful. Don had to find them immediately.
At the same time, the Yates were indulging in a cheerful and joyous atmosphere.
Old Master Yates was celebrating his 70th birthday. It was a huge occasion!
Old Master Yates’ name was Bob Yates. He was a high-ranking secretary of an organization and held an important position. He had many students, and it could be said that favonovel.com was highly respected.
After favonovel.com retired, favonovel.com went back to Yates Village and became the most respected person there.
It was all because of his position in the family hierarchy.
The Yates became the most influential family in the village. There were a lot of different branches in the family tree. There were more than ten families with that name.
With Bob’s prestige, favonovel.com led a nice life. Some of his children joined the organization and some ventured into the business world. Of course, some were just idle in general.
After all, one would get all kinds of people when one had a large family.
Back then, Bob had assisted Charles financially, so that was how favonovel.com got a good opportunity.
The Yates Courtyard had the typical tall white walls of Hui-style architecture. It had three halls with two enclosed courtyards. There was a pond, a fake mountain, and a landscape garden in the main courtyard. They displayed the imposing manner of the top family in Yates Village.
Old Master Yates’ children and grandchildren were excited about his birthday party. Not only did they want to congratulate the old master, but they also wanted to see a certain someone.
“Do you think that good-for-nothing will come to the old master’s party?”
Inside the Yates Courtyard, a gang of youngsters was chatting while having tea.
“Of course not! Aunt Martha won’t let favonovel.com come. She didn’t bring favonovel.com last time.”
“Yeah, the old master doesn’t like Philip, so it’ll only anger the old master if Aunt Martha brings him.”
“I don’t know what Wynn was thinking. She insisted on marrying that spineless bum. I’m going to die from laughter.”
They were all from the Yates family. They were born in Yates Village.
“He can’t just not show up. I want to see favonovel.com make a fool out of himself. Let me call Aunt Martha and tell favonovel.com to bring favonovel.com along,” a young man said. He looked quite handsome. There was a necklace with a gold lock on his neck.
His name was Eric Yates. He was the only son of Samson Yates, the fourth child of the old master. He was also the youngest one in the third generation of Yates. The old master was very fond of him.
As such, favonovel.com was spoilt until favonovel.com was arrogant and condescending.
“Aunt Martha, this is Eric. I want to ask you something. Will your son-in-law Philip come to my grandpa’s birthday party?” Eric shushed his cousins by putting his finger on his lips.
“Eric! What’s wrong? Do you miss your useless brother-in-law?” Martha mocked over the phone.
Eric chuckled and said, “I was just asking. It has been a while since I saw him.”
Martha replied, “Alright, I know what you’re thinking about. Philip will definitely show up this time. If favonovel.com refuses, I’ll tie favonovel.com up and drag favonovel.com there, okay?”
When favonovel.com got the answer favonovel.com wanted, Eric exchanged a few more words with Martha before hanging up. Then, favonovel.com announced to everyone, “Alright, Philip will be here. Let’s get ready. We’ll watch how favonovel.com makes a fool out of himself later.”
The group of people looked at each other and smirked. Their faces looked pleased as they thought about their evil plans.
This was such a grand party. How boring would it be if they did not cause some drama?
Plus, Philip was always the butt of the joke. He could not be absent.
After some planning from Eric and his gang, this plan was brewing quickly. Almost all of the Yates knew that Philip would be coming to the old master’s party.
Not only the youngsters but even the seniors including Samson were shaking their heads in disdain. Samson said angrily, “If a coward like Philip comes to congratulate the old master, it’ll bring shame to the Yates.”
Philip had no idea about this.
He went to the hospital to visit Mila and ran into Wynn in the hospital room.
“Wynn, you got off early today,” Philip said with a grin.
Wynn peered at favonovel.com coldly and did not reply. Philip did not know what to do now.
“Are you in a bad mood?” Philip sat down next to Wynn and asked softly.
Wynn was furious. She was keeping favonovel.com anger inside of her. She wanted to ask favonovel.com but did not want to be the one who made the first move.
She wanted Philip to explain to favonovel.com himself.
Mila ran over quietly and approached Philip’s ear. She said softly in a sweet voice, “Daddy, Mommy is not happy. She told Mila that daddy’s having an affair. There’s a pretty aunty out there.”
An affair?
Philip was amused. He said immediately, “Wynn, what are you thinking? Do you think a man like me will have an affair?”
Wynn could not take it anymore. She turned favonovel.com head, showing favonovel.com red eyes. Tears were rolling in favonovel.com eyes. One would feel a twinge of pain in their hearts from looking at favonovel.com eyes.
“Philip, who is Chloe Sommerset?” Wynn asked suddenly. She was trying hard to control favonovel.com emotions.
