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? At the same time, the engagement

between Ruby Ford and Howard Lowe was one he would never agree with. He had to come up with a

plan to uncover her lies. “She has decided on Northern Sky Western Restaurant. She says it’s a high-

end place with a good atmosphere. Tonight, at seven o’clock, don’t be late. Oh, and remember to bring

Wynn.” Describing Howard as excited was an understatement. Having been in a relationship with Ruby

for four long years, today was finally the day they took the next step further. “Okay.”

Philip replied and hung up the phone. He was sitting in the car deep in thought. Making a turn, Philip

came to the closest gift shop. He had to bring something at least. Philip needed to bring something,

even if it was a small thank you gift for the help that Howard had given him all those years. He would

not embarrass his friend. Howard Lowe was sitting in his apartment.

Right as he ended the call with Philip, Ruby entered the door. Donned in branded clothing with the

newest Gucci handbag in her arms, she had an intellectual vibe to her. She walked up to Howard in

struts, showing off her pale long legs. Having heard who Howard had called, Ruby’s expression turned

grim as she asked, “This is our engagement dinner, Howard. Why can you call Philip Clarke, that

nobody?” Ever since the incident at the BMW showroom, she despised Philip. He had made a big fool

out of her.

Howard was at a loss about what to do. He had no idea what the reason behind his girlfriend’s animosity toward Philip was, but

with a smile, he comforted. “But Ruby, Philip’s my best bud. He’s the only friend I have, I can’t just not call him.” Ruby pouted,

unhappy with the turn of events. “Just this once. No more.” Ruby knew that this was a big matter, and it would not bode well for

her to fight over an issue in regards to Howard’s honor. The two spoke for a little longer before Ruby picked up a call with a sweet

smile on her face and walked out. “Hello, Mr. Wade? What’s the occasion for this call today?” The mellow voice of a middle-aged

man rang out, “Are you free tonight, Ruby? It has been a while since we met. I miss you, dear.”

Ruby frowned her perfectly shaped eyebrows and turned to look back at the worn-down apartment behind her. A glint of disgust

flashed across her face before she pulled it back into a beautiful smile. “Of course. I’m having dinner at the Northern Sky Western

Restaurant tonight with a few of my friends. How about you wait for me at the hotel upstairs tonight?” “Sure,”

replied Mr. Wade excitedly. Ending the call, Ruby flipped through her Gucci handbag and touched up her makeup. Hailing a car

afterward, she contacted a few of her best friends. Seven o’clock at Northern Sky Western Restaurant. In the private room

gathered youthful males and females who chit-chatted and laughed with one another. There were quite a few beautiful ladies.

They had porcelain skin coupled with fashionable dressing as per what the trends considered ‘in’. Especially the one in the

middle, whose eyes wrinkled into crescent moons when she smiled. She had sharp features, and her long legs were covered

with the short hem of her miniskirt. The gazes of the boys by her side would slip downward from time to time. That was Ruby’s

sister, Isabelle.
