The first heir novel (Master Yu Who Smokes) novel Chapter 277

The entire restaurant fell into silence at Philip’s question.

Everyone was confused.

‘Such a bold claim.

‘Hundreds of millions worth of assets?

‘Doesn’t he only have 300,000 bucks? That was merely a small diamond ring too.

‘But he’s suddenly rich now that his girlfriend is breaking up with him?’

Ruby smirked tauntingly as she turned to Philip. “Come again? He’s nothing but a piece of trash, just like you. Hundreds of millions worth of assets? Who are you kidding?”

‘Even at this point, he opts to butt in instead of pulling Howard away?

‘Hundreds of millions worth of assets?

‘What a joke.’

Ruby had been with Howard for four years. If anyone, she would know best about his financial condition, no?

The fat greasy man by Ruby’s side also began to make relentless fun of the duo before him. “Who’s this f*cker? Do you know him, Ruby dear?”

The man had never seen someone as shameless as Philip.

The man was not alone in his opinion. In fact, everyone else spectating, mostly the friends Ruby had brought over, were making fun of him as well.

“Holy sh*t! What a disgusting f*cker.”

“What a horrible choice of friendship! I feel bad for Howard. First, he gets dumped by his girlfriend. Then, his best friend stabs him in the back.”

“What a one of a kind douche. Though they do say birds of a kind flock together.”

The people around them began to criticize belittingly.

On the ground, tears streamed freely from Howard’s eyes as he clenched the passbook tightly in his balled fists.

Standing up, he turned to Philip with his head still held down. “Let’s go.”

He did not want to stay in this place of heart-wrenching memories any longer.

Philip pulled Howard back instead. “No, we’re not going. We can’t possibly leave quietly after being insulted like that! We’re not going anywhere until they apologize.”

Determination shone in Philip’s eyes. He would not stand by Ruby and her friends humiliating one of his own.

Money? He had more than he needed!

Howard’s face was flushed as he tugged Philip toward the exit impatiently. “Forget it. Let’s just go.”

The middle-aged man guffawed. “Get lost, you pieces of trash! You’re pretending to be rich in front of me? You know what, if you f*ckers end up having hundreds of millions worth of assets, I’ll prostrate to you.”

Flames of rage cackled within Howard, but he knew that he was no match for them.

It was painfully obvious. Ruby had chosen a rich man over himself, someone in a completely different league.

“Forget it.”
