“Perry! Don’t be rude!”
At this moment, a distinguished old man with a slightly tired look got down from a Rolls-Royce not too far away. He was followed by a large group of attractively dressed men and women.
“Grandpa, just look at this country bumpkin! Isn’t he just blocking your way by standing here?”
The arrogant man immediately became respectful, supporting the old man while glaring at Philip.
Philip was peeved. Who did he provoke by standing there?
Did your family build the damn road?
“Nonsense! How did I teach you? When you’re outside, you must convince people with reason and never judge people by appearance! Apologize now!” the old man said sternly and knocked his walking cane on the ground.
“Grandpa… I’m just…” The face of the arrogant man immediately turned awkward.
“Go now!” The old man repeated sternly.
That guy seemed to be afraid of his grandfather. After hesitating for a while, he twisted his head toward Philip with an expression of dissatisfaction and resentment. He gritted his teeth and said, “I’m sorry for offending you just now.”
After speaking, that guy stood on one side without turning back, crossed his arms, and scrutinized Philip from top to bottom with hostility.
“Young man, my name is Terence Cannes, and this is my grandson Perry Cannes. It’s all my fault for his lax tutoring. We’ve embarrassed ourselves. If there’s anything wrong, please tell me and I’ll make him visit you to apologize another day,” Master Cannes walked over and said with a smile.
Philip shook his head quickly and said, “It’s fine, don’t worry. He’s just a young man with a fiery temper. It’s okay.”
“Hah, drop the pretenses already. As if you’re much older than me…”
The arrogant man snorted in a low voice only to be frightened with a glare from the old man. He quickly lowered his head.
Philip smiled nonchalantly and said nothing.
Perry glared bitterly at Philip and memorized this person before following the rest of the adults into Drunken Immortal Court.
“I know Perry Cannes. He’s the young master of the Cannes family from Golden City. He has a lousy temper. That old man is Terence Cannes, the head of the Cannes family of Golden City.”
Philip simply shrugged and did not think too much about it.
There were loads of families around. A Cannes family was nothing to worry about.
“Mel!”
At this time, a beautifully dressed woman walked toward them.
The woman was obviously startled. After scrutinizing Philip for a moment, she stretched out her smooth milky-white hand and said with a faint smile, “Hello, I’m Cynthia Larson, Melody’s best friend.”
“Philip Clarke.” Philip stretched out and shook her little hand but quickly let go.
Wow, so soft, so smooth!
“Mel, when did you get a boyfriend? Why don’t I know about it?” Cynthia looked at Melody and teased.
“Oh, I didn’t get the chance to tell you before. Anyway, you’ve met him now, it’s not too late.”
Melody let go of Philip’s arm, hugged Cynthia’s arm, and said coquettishly.
“Oh yes, do you know who Cynthia is?”
Melody suddenly looked at Philip, raised her eyebrows, and asked proudly.
Philip shrugged and said with a grin, “I don’t.”
An important figure?
