The first heir novel (Master Yu Who Smokes) novel Chapter 273

Yolanda and her friends watched as Philip walked toward the red Ferrari, the condescending distaste for him thickening in their gazes.

Even after having scolded him angrily, Yolanda stomped forward and gripped onto Philip whose hand was rummaging for the car key. She reprimanded again, “Isn’t this enough? Stop pretending already! What, do you need the few of us to shriek and fawn over you for you to stop?”

‘Seriously this man… He’s going all out just to look cool.

‘How could such a nice car even belong to a worthless wretch like him?

‘At least take a look at yourself first!’

Philip frowned at the motion. “What now? This is my car.”

With a mere sentence, he managed to offend all four girls at the same time.

Jane’s laughter could be seen in the curve of her eyebrows even though her hand was held over her mouth. She mocked him sarcastically. “Look at him, still pretending to be all high and mighty. I can never understand why some people find the need to pretend to be some big shot they’re not. Hilarious.”

The gazes of the other two girls also shone with a hint of scorn as they glanced at Philip.

Yolanda out-right laughed tauntingly as she patted Philip’s shoulder in mock consolation. “I know life isn’t the best for you now, Philip. But there’s no need to embarrass yourself like this.”

With that, Yolanda led her group of friends away.

Philip, staring at their retreating backs in disbelief, fetched out the car key for the Ferrari and sighed a breath of exasperation.

‘Yolanda Lee, you’re really going to turn against me like this?

‘Even after helping you last time, this is how you repay me? No thanks, no nothing, but mockery?

‘Whatever. I’m not in the mood to explain anything anyway.’

Philip gave it some thought before he ultimately decided to drive over to where Wynn worked and surprise her.

He had a good explanation for the Ferrari. He would say he won it in a bet. Should Wynn not believe him, well, he could always call Finn to back him up on this.

On the way there, Philip received an unexpected call from his good friend Howard.

Philip had his regrets when it came to Howard Lowe.

It had been so long since he contacted the other, and he did not know how this friend of his was doing now.

After picking up the call, the line drifted in the light laughter of Howard Lowe. “You free tonight, Philip? Come out for dinner tonight and bring Wynn Johnston too. Ruby and I are getting engaged.”

Howard’s ecstasy was evident in the tone of his voice.

Philip, on the other hand, frowned deeply. ‘Howard and Ruby are getting engaged?’

“Sure! Where? I’ll come to you.” Philip smiled.

He decided against telling Howard about what he knew of Ruby Ford at that moment, for this friend of his wore his heart on his sleeve.

Should he find out about what kind of a woman Ruby Ford was, who knew what stupid things he might do?
