Chapter 201
George Thomas the billionaire! What prestige and fame he had! He had a net worth of more than ten billion and was the legend
of Riverdale. The amount of wealth and connections he had could not be imagined by anyone at the scene. A powerful man like
him was at Old Master Yates’ party. No one would have thought of this happening! When they heard George’s name, everyone in
the hall and outer courtyard started gasping. They fell into a state of shock. Everyone at the scene including Bob, Peter, and
Samson stood up. Russell and Theo also stood up to get ready to welcome this VVIP. “Who would’ve expected George Thomas
to show up?”
Everyone was scared. There were ominous glints in their eyes. They all stared at the entrance at the
same time. They wanted so badly to see the legendary billionaire of Riverdale to appear at the door. A
few luxury cars stopped outside the door of Yates Manor. Then, George got out of a black Bentley. He
was wearing a grey Tang suit and holding a cane. He slowly made his way to the entrance. Bob and his
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtgroup of people were already at the door. They were the first to witness the refined George Thomas
walking over. “It’s really George Thomas!” Bob could not stand still anymore. He walked over and
welcomed George personally. Even though there was not much difference in their ages, it was obvious
that Geroge looked more energetic. He had a blush and a glow on his face. “Mr. Thomas, I didn’t
expect you to visit me in my humble abode,” Bob said flatteringly. He had a grin on his face. “My dear
Bob, I heard you’re celebrating your 70th birthday, so I decided to crash the party,” George shook
hands with Bob and said flatly. When he said that, everyone figured that this was the Yates family lucky
year. They had four simultaneous happy events, and now, VIPs were coming here to congratulate Old
Master Yates. However, everyone could not help but cast their glances at Philip who was sitting in the
outer courtyard. Did he come for Philip as well? If that was the case, then he had just accomplished an
unattainable task! That was the richest man in Riverdale! Philip was just a useless piece of trash. What
did he do to claim connections with powerful people like them? Before this, they thought that Theo’s
prestige and fame were all fake. If not, how could he be so respectful toward a useless bum? Then, in
the next second, George said something that widened everyone’s eyes. “Um… Is my little boy Philip
here?” George asked with a grin. When Bob heard that, his hands trembled. He almost collapsed. Eric
and the rest of the group felt as if a large hammer had fallen from the sky and landed on their hearts.
They felt that everything that knew was starting to crumble around them. They did not expect to be
right. The billionaire of Riverdale, George Thomas, was also here for Philip! Jess was starting to feel
numb. Russell Field, Theo Zander, George Thomas… All of them had a net worth more than billions,
and they were all here for Philip!
Was that spineless bum really a good-for-nothing? Bob came back to his senses and replied, “Yes.”
Then, he led George into the courtyard. Everyone followed suit. George greeted everyone and followed
Bob into the hall. “Mr. Thomas, you came all the way from Riverdale. You must be exhausted.
Come, let me propose a toast to you,” Peter said. He had to flatter a billionaire like George. It would be
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmbeneficial to the Yates family and at the same time, it would be beneficial to him. “Haha, how can I be
absent for Old Master Yates’ party?” George laughed. Then, his eyes landed on Martha and Charles
who were sitting diagonally to him. “Mr. and Mrs. Johnston, hello. These are two little presents I brought
for you two. I hope you can accept them.” After he said that, George asked his secretary to take out
two little boxes and hand them to Charles and Martha respectfully. The two of them gladly accepted the
gifts. Martha was especially ecstatic. This was a gift from Riverdale’s richest man. It must be extremely
valuable! She was going to be rich! Everyone at the table was envious when they saw that.
They were looking at Martha with jealousy in their eyes. “Mr. Thomas, you’re too kind. How can I accept such an expensive gift?”
Martha pretended to decline but still, she put away the box impatiently. It was as if she was scared that George would ask for it
back. “Mrs. Johnston, you have an amazing son-in-law. He has a very bright future!” George laughed and said. “Philip?”
Everyone fell into a state of shock again. They did not expect a billionaire like George to compliment that piece of trash. This was
so unbelievable. Everyone was in disbelief. This was a birthday party for Old Master Yates. Philip had not done anything and
somehow, he became the star of the party.
