The First Heir

Chapter 425

Nick rapidly approached Philip, visibly delighted as he said, “You’re here too, Mr. Clarke! What a pleasure it is to see you here.”

Philip was talking to Wynn. When he heard Nick’s voice, he raised his head and found that he did not know the man in front of him. “And you are?”

“Oh, you wouldn’t remember little old me. I’m in charge of property matters in these parts, my name is Nick Cage. The ruckus my son Mickey caused at Longford today was my fault, I didn’t raise him well enough. I hope you don’t mind, Mr. Clarke.”

Nick heaped on the flattery, his words filled with adulation.

Philip finally remembered who he was. He said with a smile, “Good to see you too, Director Cage.”

Nick wanted to talk to Philip more and get closer to him, but Mont and the others were also approaching them now, looking far from pleased.

Next to Philip, Wynn was looking at him suspiciously.

So Philip even knew the higher-ups in the property circle?

“Hey, do you know Nick Cage?”

Wynn tugged at Philip’s hand and looked at him dubiously.

Philip thought it over and nodded. “I guess I do. I’ll tell you more later.”

Just then, a deep voice behind him demanded,

“What are you doing, Philip? Why aren’t you greeting Mr. Cage properly?”

Mont’s expression was cold now. Philip’s nonchalant look was inevitably ticking him off.

This man was their most important guest for the night. He was a director in the Land Registry, so if anything went awry now, Mont’s plans to enter the Riverdale property market would go up in smoke!
