The First Heir

Chapter 55

Lamar ran over hurriedly to see Mr. Clarke.

However, the seniors blocked him and asked all at once.

“Mr. Collins, can we get the rebate from the money we invested today?” NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

“Can you return our money? I don’t want to invest anymore.”

“Our houses too. Please give it back to us. We don’t want to put up collateral anymore. You’re a scammer!”

In an instant, emotions were heightened. The seniors were all making threats at Lamar while surrounding him like they were layers and layers of clothes on his body.

Lamar was panicking. He waved his hands and cleared his throat before saying, “Everybody, please calm down. I’m here to return the money and houses to you all. Please go and register over there. I’ll ask my staff to go through the procedure with you all. Please don’t panic, okay? I have to meet someone important right now.”

After he said that, Lamar called over his staff who then brought the seniors away.

When the seniors heard that their money and houses would be returned, they were ecstatic. They were smiling widely while raising their thumbs at Aiden.

“Mr. Grant, it’s all thanks to you.”

“Mr. Grant is such an amazing man. I’m so grateful to you. You must have a bright future ahead of you.”

Of course, some were also fawning over Martha. They stood around her and said flatteringly, “Martha, you’ve found yourself a rich son-in-law. I know Aiden is not an ordinary man. You have to keep him by

your side.”

“Yeah, Martha. If your daughter doesn’t want to marry him, I’ll make my move. Coincidentally, my idiot daughter has no boyfriend yet.”

When Martha heard that, she panicked. She said, “Don’t even think about it. He’s my potential son-in- law, and only my Wynn is suitable for him.”

When she said that, she looked over at Aiden. She felt such calmness and joy when she looked at him.

It was because of him that she was able to show off in front of her friends today.

If it was that piece of trash Philip, she would definitely be humiliated.

With that in mind, Martha walked over to Aiden and thanked him profusely. “Aiden, it’s all thanks to you today. If not, I wouldn’t have known what to do.”

“Aunty Martha, you’re flattering me. This is what I should do,” Aiden said courteously.

Martha was smiling so widely that she could not close her mouth. She looked at Aiden intensely and asked suddenly, “Aiden, are you free tonight? Have dinner at my place. I’ll ask Wynn to come back earlier to accompany you.”

The only thing Martha wanted to do right now was to pair up Aiden and Wynn. She could not let this amazing son-in-law escape.

What about Philip, though?

Martha did not even care about Philip anymore. He was just a coward. He could just go and do whatever he wanted.

Aiden was smiling brightly while his heart bloomed.

He figured his marriage with Wynn was already halfway done.

When Philip saw this, his eyebrows knitted together tightly. He was very unhappy.

His mother-in-law was insufferably snobbish.

He was standing right there and she was trying to tie the knot between Aiden and his wife.

If this was tolerable, what was not?

Plus, did Aiden really solve this mess?

Lamar made his way to Aiden and grabbed his hands. He said with a grin on his face, “Mr. Clarke, nice to meet you. Look, I’ve returned the houses and money. Are you satisfied now?”

Aiden was chatting with Martha when he was interrupted by Lamar all of a sudden. Plus, it seemed like he got the wrong person.

“Mr. Clarke? My name is Aiden Grant.”

Aiden frowned and looked at Lamar. At the same time, he was curious and peered at Philip.

What was going on?

At this moment, Martha looked at Philip in puzzlement. She said angrily, “Mr. Collins, you’ve got the wrong person. This is Aiden. Aiden Grant. He’s the one who called you. If not, we wouldn’t have been able to get in touch with you at all.”

In Martha’s eyes, Lamar was the president of Lucrative Funds Finance Company.

Before this, she would have wanted to win favors with people like him.

However, it was different now. Aiden could get Mr. Collins to come over with just a phone call and he could make him return the money and houses. He was even greater than Mr. Collins.

As such, she started to look down on Lamar even more.

Lamar blinked furiously while looking at Aiden and Martha who looked annoyed. He was curious. Was Mr. Clarke not Mr. Clarke? Was it just an alias?

No, that could not be. He was sure of it!

Theo had told him that Mr. Clarke liked to keep a low profile.

Plus, he was the only rich and handsome young man at the scene. The other young man there did not look as well-off.

With such a comparison, Lamar was convinced that Aiden was Mr. Clarke.

It was probably just an alias because he wanted to keep a low profile.
