The first heir novel (Master Yu Who Smokes) novel Chapter 276

In the elevator, Ruby had also recognized both Howard and Philip.

Without an ounce of regret, her first response was to frown disgustedly and glare at the duo.

Then, right before Howard’s eyes, she pecked the middle-aged man on his cheek and neck.

She even went as far as to humor the man by clinging on to him.

Time froze.

The elevator doors closed.

Philip sighed hopelessly and walked forward to pat the shocked Howard on his shoulder. “I’ve been trying to tell you. Ruby…”

Howard interrupted before Philip could finish talking. With a forced smile and tears that threatened to spill from his eyes, he said, “Come on, let’s go. It’s time to eat. Ruby just went to buy something. She’ll be back in a while.”

Philip was stunned. ‘Howard really doesn’t plan to admit it, does he?’

Having said that, Howard turned to leave.

Philip’s expression hardened as he watched Howard’s retreating figure. He roared, “Dude! How the f*ck long more are you going to lie to yourself? That over there was Ruby Ford! The woman you’ve loved for four long years! The woman who has only seen you as a wallet and nothing else!”

“Stop!”

Howard turned around and glowered at Philip with reddened eyes. “It wasn’t her! It wasn’t!”

Right at that moment, the doors to the elevator opened again and out walked Ruby.

Her eyebrows were furrowed tightly as she walked past Philip to glare at Howard with both her hands crossed before her chest. “You saw everything, didn’t you?”

Quickly wiping the tears in his eyes, Howard brought his entire face into a smile. “What are you talking about? Where did you go? I thought you said you went to buy something? Come on, let’s go. My parents will be here soon.”

Smack!

With a slap to his cheek, Ruby stared disdainfully at Howard. “It’s over, Howard Lowe. I’ve had enough, let’s break up.”

She was cold, her tone completely disregarding their past.

Howard was stunned, but he held on to his composed facade. “Come on, Ruby. It’s not funny. We’re getting engaged today. My parents are at the door.”

He could not believe his eyes. This was the woman he had loved for four long years.

Yet, Ruby never once loved him.

Flinging Howard’s hand away, Ruby sneered audaciously. “Engaged? What can you give me, Howard Lowe? Do you have money? Or do you have a house? What, were you expecting me to live in a rented apartment with you for the rest of our married lives?”

As she spoke, Ruby pulled out a cigarette from her purse. Lighting it, she took a long drag and flicked her hair to reveal her sculptured features. With a slim and slender finger, she poked disdainfully at Howard’s chest. “Stop dreaming, Howard. Everything with you was just a game. You’re worth nothing more to me than a wallet! Getting engaged? Your parents are farmers, they’re not worth me calling them ‘mom’ and ‘dad’!”

Those were horrible words to hear.

Anger spread like wildfire within Philip.
