The first heir novel (Master Yu Who Smokes) novel Chapter 13

“Since Mr. Clarke isn’t here, I won’t disturb you any longer. Please have a great time.” Javier had come so suddenly and left after delivering gifts, leaving the crowd shocked.

Charles coughed with the card still in his hand and asked, “Does any of you know this Mr. Clarke?”

Everyone shook their heads. A figure powerful enough to have the owner of Virtuous Court personally bring over delicious food and great wine was not someone they could be acquainted with their lowly status.

“Could it be Philip Clarke?”

No one knew who had said this for fun, but the whole room burst into laughter.

“Stop joking, how could it be that trash? If it were him, I’d eat these wine bottles.”

“Other than having the same last name, what else does our cousin brother-in-law have to show for?”

A few of the youngsters were mocking without reserve.

Wynn found it hard to bear, so she scolded furiously, “That’s enough! What are you guys saying? He is still your cousin brother-in-law no matter what!”

Tsk! A few of the youngsters cocked up their eyebrows arrogantly but said nothing more.

Charles chimed in and asked everyone to stop making a fuss.

Charles’ friends were now extremely envious of him.

“Charles, my man, how could you? You know such a powerful figure, but you didn’t introduce him to us.”

“This too much. First, it’s a treasured painting. Now, there’s a ‘Mr. Clarke’.”

“Come, come, come, forget about all those. These are precious liquors, a king’s drink, waiting to be tasted.” Charles felt it a waste to consume them all now, so he kept one bottle and opened the other. The others did not say anything because being able to have one taste of those liquors was enough to last them a lifetime.

Just then, Aiden said, “Uncle Johnston, I might know this Mr. Clarke. The boss behind the art gallery has ‘Clarke’ as the last name. Could he have known that it was your birthday today, that’s why he has sent the gifts?”

Aiden was only guessing, but the boss of the gallery was named ‘Clarke’. Although he had never met him before, the secretary who liaised with him told him that the man’s name was ‘Clarke’ and he hoped to keep a low profile.
