Chapter 364
The First Heir
âThanks, but no thanks, Manager Frank. I quite like the feeling of being taken care of by my wife. Plus,
she likes taking care of me.â
Philip said shamelessly as he smiled at Wynn.
âSure, Iâll take care of you,â Wynn replied coordinately, her eyes sparkling with stars.
Anger flared in Frank at the scene before him. Scoffing, he returned to his seat for there was not much
left for him to say.
Samantha saw through him and kicked Frank under the table, mumbling, âWhatâs that all about? You
canât possibly have taken a fancy to my cousin now, have you?!â
Her piercing gaze demanded answers.
Frank smiled, holding Samanthaâs small hand in his own. âWhat are you talking about? Thereâs only
you.â
The meal progressed with Paulaâs family picking on Philip at any chance they got. To which he merely
brushed off and paid them no heed. After all, it would not make sense to let such brainless comments
dampen his mood.
Wynn, though, nudged the back of his legs worriedly with her own and whispered, âAre you okay? We
can go out if youâre not.â
Philip smiled. âItâs okay. Iâve gotten used to it.â
Frank only got more frustrated as he watched Philip and Wynn murmur to each other. He was going to
humiliate the dumb f*cker in front of everyone!
âWhatâs going on, Manager Stanford? Did I not say to reserve the Dragon King Room?!â
From outside the room came the frustrated voice of a middle-aged man.
âIâm really sorry, Mr. Wagner. There has been a mistake. How about I move you to the Crown Prince
Pavillion instead?â
âMove? Whatâs the point of moving us now? I want this private room! Do you have any idea who Mr.
Cash is meeting today? Go and tell the people inside to give me the room. Iâll compensate for the
price.â
âThis⦠To tell you the truth, Mr. Wagner, the one who booked the Dragon King Room is the general
manager of Rocker Pharmaceutical. Heâs not someone I can offend.â
By general manager of Rocker Pharmaceutical, Manager Stanford was referencing Frank McDonald. It
was a public listed company on the Fortune Global 500, after all. He was not someone a mere
restaurant manager such as himself could afford to offend.
Hearing the manager fighting outside, coupled with his already stewing anger, Frank was quick to
scold, âWhoâs outside? Canât you tell weâre eating here? Take him away, Manager Stanford!â
Such an instruction immediately buffed up the ego in everyone in the private room. Paula and the rest
suddenly felt their status rise.
âItâs me, Hiram Wagner.â
The doors opened to enter a 30-year-old man in glasses with a soft-spoken vibe. He spoke politely. âMy
apologies, everyone. Can you please move to another private room? Iâve booked this one here. As for
the price, donât worry, Iâll pay.â
âNo! Why do we have to move? What price? Are you looking down on us?â
âExactly! Who are you to order us around?â
âFrank here doesnât lack money! Weâre not moving!â
The Yates sisters, Paula and Martha, were the fiercest with their shouting. They showed complete
disregard for Hiram.
Frankâs heart shook slightly in faint recognition at the name Hiram Wagner, but it was too late to back
down now after his mother-in-law and Samanthaâs words. He could only face it head-on. âMr. Wagner,
right? Weâre already halfway through our meal, I donât think itâs very nice to have us move out now,
donât you think?â
âMr. McDonald? Iâm really sorry, but itâd be great if youâll move,â Hiram asked with both hands pressed
together pleadingly.
âSorry, but no! You can take the room, but only after weâve eaten.â
Frank was done with playing nice. After all, there was no way he would disgrace himself in front of his
wife and his mother-in-law, let alone with Wynn and Philip in the room!
âExactly! Come again after weâre done. Now get out!â
Paula began to rapid-fire her scoldings again and turned to speak to Martha, âCome on, letâs eat,
Martha. Forget about him. Frank here knows the boss of this place. Hiram Wagner who?â
âWhatâs going on, Hiram? Is it so difficult to ask you to change a private room? Master Clarkeâs on his
way.ââ
The voice outside was followed by an elder with white hair.
âYouâre here just in time, Mr. Cash. Theyâre unwilling to move since the general manager of Rocker
Pharmaceutical is treating this meal. They said we should come back after theyâre done eating.â
Hiram spoke coldly as he gazed at Frank.
âMr⦠Mr. Cash?â
Frank paled in shock. Quickly, he stood up, stunning everyone in the room.
âYour private room, Mr. McDonald?â
Hudson Cash found Frank to be a familiar face. They had met last time at Rocker Pharmaceutical.
âMr⦠Mr. Cash. I-I didnât know you wanted this private room. Um, this⦠Hereâ¦â
Frank stuttered through his speech as beads of cold sweat formed at his forehead. That was the
chairman of Capital Cityâs Clarke Group!
He had the fortune of sitting beside him during Rocker Pharmaceuticalâs chairmen meeting last time.
He was pretty much the spokesperson of Capital Cityâs Young Master Clarke!
âYeah, Iâm meeting with an important guest in a bit. Itâd be great if youâll move so that I can use this
private room, please?â
Hudson was a stern and serious man.
âYeah sure, no problem at all. Please do, Mr. Cash.â
Frank nodded in acceptance and hinted at his mother-in-law and Samantha to quicken up their pace.
Nobody dared to speak as they watched Frankâs expression. They merely walked out of the room
begrudgingly.
Paula grumbled under her breath.
However, all of a sudden!
âOr, you could wait until weâre done, Mr. Cash?â
Spoke Philip unfazed as he continued to eat in his seat.
