The First Heir

“It was Master Clarke from Clarke Group,” Vernon said with a smile.

Wynn froze, her entire body stiffening. It was Master Clarke again.

Who was this Master Clarke? Why did he keep helping her?

Just then, a group of people walked through the main doors to the hall. They carried with them an impressive presence, led by a middle-aged man with a beer belly and a red face. The man greeted the many tycoons from Riverdale.

It was Ronald Harris from Harris Enterprise!

That was the main player in Riverdale’s real estate scene!

The moment he showed up, the spotlight turned to him for a while. Many people approached and greeted him.

When Hudson saw Ronald walk in, his expression darkened. He turned to his assistant and said, “Go, get Ronald Harris over here.”

He was very angry that Ronald and his son had taken credit for the young master’s actions. They nearly pulled the wool over the young madam’s eyes.

Over on his side, Ronald was still greeting the others when a man in a suit ran up to him and said, “Mr. Harris, Mr. Cash is asking for you.”

“Mr. Cash?”

Ronald paused and promptly left everyone else behind, strolling up to Hudson.

“Oh my my, Mr. Cash! Your reputation precedes you, I’ve been dying to meet you.”

Ronald had plenty of experience in property, and he knew how to strike the exact tone.
