Chapter 191

Everyone at the birthday party was looking at Wynn with contempt and disdain in their eyes.

Eric and Aaron’s gifts that were presented moments before were extremely valuable.

Then, Ted announced the shocking news of attaining the Oasis development project at the south of
Riverdale.

He would be making 500 million for the Yates!

Now, it was Wynn’s turn. What gift would her family be presenting today?

Martha sat on her seat, extremely nervous. She saw what Wynn was holding. It was the box that Philip
had previously given to her.

If Wynn gave that thing to her father, it would be the biggest joke of the century.

Everyone would look at them as if they were fools!

Eric stared at Wynn with mockery on his face. He looked at the small box in her hands and the smirk
on his face got wider. He lifted his eyebrow and said, “Cousin, it’s Grandpa’s 70th birthday today. Are
you really going to give this tiny box to him? What valuable item can it hold?”

Eric snorted in his head. He saw with his own two eyes that this thing had been given to Wynn by that
good-for-nothing Philip.

He was penniless and powerless. What kind of gift could he afford?

When he thought about this, his smirk grew wider.

He was waiting to watch Wynn and Philip make fools of themselves.



Aaron stood at one side and chimed in sarcastically, “Cousin, even if you don’t have the money, you
should at least bring some presentable gifts. This tiny thing is going to bring so much shame to Aunt
Martha. All of the Yates present are powerful and prestigious. Plus, Grandpa’s friends are also here.
Isn’t your gift a little too plain?”

It was obvious he wanted to humiliate Wynn.

“That’s enough. Stop this, you two.” Jess could not watch this anymore. She glared at the two of them
angrily.

Eric and Aaron chose to ignore her.

The loathing on their expressions did not diminish one bit.

Even Ted who was sitting in the hall looked slightly helpless when he lifted his head and saw Wynn
walking in.

He used to be close with Wynn when they were kids. However, the older they got, the more they
distanced themselves from each other.

After all, she was not one of the Yates. There might not be any relations between them anymore.

This was the nature of human relationships.

Under everyone’s gaze, Wynn walked into the hall and handed the box to Bob. His face was cold when
Wynn said, “Grandpa, this is from me and Philip.”

Wynn believed Philip. He would not give the old master a plain gift at such an important occasion.

However, she did not think that it would be something very valuable.

After all, Philip had run away from home. He would not have much money.



Bob nodded and grunted a reply. He did not even take the box.

Wynn felt awkward. Everyone at the table was looking at her with weird expressions. Wynn felt
extremely uncomfortable.

She put the box down and turned around to walk away.

Bob did not give her a red packet. He was obviously favoring the rest of his grandchildren while
discriminating against her.

However, when Wynn was about to leave, Eric snatched the box and announced loudly to everyone in
the hall, the center court, and outer courtyard, “Oh? I thought it was something valuable. Looks like it’s
an ornamental thumb ring! It’s also made from jade!”

His words were laced with provocation.

When people saw Eric taking out the jade ornamental thumb ring and putting it onto his thumb, they
laughed alongside.

Aaron also chimed in, “What jade? Can our dear cousin afford this? I think it’s fake. Did you hear what
she said just now? She said she bought this with Philip.”

“Oh? Right!” Eric pretended to realize this. Then, he took the jade ornamental thumb ring and yelled at
Philip who was sitting at the table nearest to the door at the outer courtyard, “Philip! Where did you find
this? It looks so old. Did you pick this up from the dumpster and give it to my grandpa?”

That was such a devastating criticism.

Some people looked over at Philip with detest in their eyes.

It was clear that Eric and Aaron did not plan to stop bothering Philip.



Philip ignored them. He only drank his tea calmly and ate some of the food.

These idiots did not even know what that was.

If they knew the true value of that jade ornamental thumb ring, would they kneel on the ground and
address him as a lord?

When Eric saw that Philip did not want to pay attention to him, he lost interest in provoking him. Then,
he stuffed the ring back into the box and threw the box to one side as if it was trash.

Bob only peered at it coldly and did not say anything.

To be honest, the one thing that made him happiest today was Ted taking the Oasis development
project at the south of Riverdale.

It was a thing worth celebrating for the Yates.

Sure enough, Peter stood up and held his glass. He said, “Dad, we have three simultaneous happy
events in the family today. I wish you a long and happy life!”

Bob could not close his mouth from smiling. He grabbed his cane with one hand and his glass with the
other. He said, “Alright, I’ll drink to that.”

The party started and everyone began to socialize with each other. They were enjoying themselves
tremendously.

Wynn went back to Philip and started to space out while sitting next to him.

She saw through the Yates today. They were horrible. She did not like that these people were paying
lip service the entire time.



If possible, she did not want to attend any more family gatherings.

Philip sent a message to George. ‘Old Man George, help me investigate Bob Yates.’

After a few seconds, Philip got a reply. ‘Young Master, Bob Yates has retired. He used to manage the
properties of the Yates and over half of his collaborations were related to the Clarkes. The eldest son,
Peter Yates, has some power for the moment, but just one word from you and he’ll be gone. You
invested in the youngest son, Samson Yates’ company, so you have 70% of the equity shares. Peter’s
eldest son, Ted Yates, took the Oasis development project at the south of Riverdale recently, and I was
the one who gave him…”

‘F*ck me!’

Philip did not expect that most of the Yates’ projects and enterprises were all related to him.

This… This was awkward.
