Frank found this hilarious. He continued, “Philip, oh, Philip. I have to admit that you can be really stupid sometimes. Mr. Cash from our company, Clarke Group, has booked the whole place tonight. Can’t you see the sign at the door? Not any Tom, Dick, or Harry can go in right now. You need to at least be famous in Riverdale, like if you started a company or have a fortune of ten million, minimum! Or if you have a position at one of Riverdale’s top departments. What makes you think you can go in, Philip? If you ask me, you should call and ask if favonovel.com can take you inside.”
“Why are you telling favonovel.com all that, Frank? He’s just a clueless idiot who’s here waiting for Wynn.”
Samatha sneered.
Philip frowned slightly.
In Frank’s eyes, though, favonovel.com only looked stupider than ever.
Frank patted Philip’s shoulder and yanked at his tie. “Stand guard at the door. What a good guy, you are. While your wife is in there drinking with other men, you’re here waiting for favonovel.com outside. Poor you! But well, as befitting trash like you.
“Come on, Sammy, let’s go in. We’ll leave them to their terrific view out here.”
Frank pulled his invitation out of his pocket and waved it in front of Philip’s eyes before handing it over to the guard.
Just like that, they went through.
Samantha even turned around and gave Philip a glare before favonovel.com went in.
“Why didn’t you take out your invitation, Philip? Look at how cocky that d*ckhead was! I really wanted to sock favonovel.com in the face!” Howard said angrily.
Hayley was seething as well. She had no idea why someone as powerful as Philip just took that.
Howard had told favonovel.com who Philip was. He was amazing!
Clarke Group from Capital City was his family’s!
In other words, Philip here was the VIP of tonight’s party.
Philip did not say anything. He took out his invitation and gave it to the guard, who respectfully let favonovel.com pass.
Only then did Philip, Howard, and Hayley walk into Copper Peacock Palace.
In truth, favonovel.com could have simply made a call and had everyone waiting outside for him. That would be too flashy, though, so favonovel.com did not do it.
The three of them were in no hurry to go inside. Instead, they wandered around the area.
By now, many of Riverdale’s local tycoons had long since arrived. There were a few other celebrities as well.
They chatted with each other, buttering each other up.
“Did you guys hear? The VIP tonight is Master Clarke from Capital City’s Clarke Group!”
“I know! Master Clarke was also the one who signed off on the billion-yuan investment into Beacon Pharmaceutical!”
“Whoa, a billion! That’s nuts. Then do you know where this Master Clarke is right now?”
Everyone looked shocked.
No one here was an average Joe. They were all businessmen and entrepreneurs who had made a name for themselves. Some of them were also politicians or socialites, but even they were silently stunned to hear about a billion in investments.
That was no paltry sum!
“I only know that his last name is Clarke. Everyone calls favonovel.com Master Clarke out of respect.”
The tongues kept wagging, and Master Clarke’s legend swept across the room like a typhoon.
“Do you think Master Clarke will be here today?”
Someone asked, looking at the crowd and the seated guests.
“He definitely will. The party tonight is held for him. How else do you think small fry like us will get to meet him? I bet he’s actually already here, so we better be careful what we saw. After all, he’s loaded. If we accidentally offend him, you and I will be done for,” someone replied quietly.
After that, the news spread far and wide. There were constantly people looking through the crowd for anyone with the last name Clarke, and anyone with that last name would be swarmed by greeters.
To everyone’s disappointment, though, Master Clarke was nowhere to be found.
“Joshua, your dad’s pretty amazing. I see his name at the main seats over there,” Yolanda said toadily.
If Philip were here, favonovel.com would definitely have been surprised to see Joshua and Yolanda here as well.
What a gathering of legends they had here.
