The First Heir

Chapter 209

Yolanda watched as Philip hesitated. She said quickly, “Since we’re all here, let’s go together. We haven’t seen each other in so many years.”

Actually, Yolanda wanted to get close to Philip through this gathering.

She felt remorseful for not having any interest in Philip back then. She did not expect a man like him to have such potential.

Philip touched his nose and nodded his head. “Alright.”

Philip did not have anything to do in the afternoon anyway. Also, his candlelit dinner reservation with Wynn was for tomorrow. As such, he did not have to worry.

Philip told Agnes something before the latter went back to the office.

After staying a while longer at the cafe, Yolanda and Sadie brought Philip to the karaoke in the mall nearby.

“Oliver and the gang will be singing here before going to Arc de Triumph,” said Yolanda. She even grabbed Philip’s arm voluntarily and said in a mysterious tone, “Philip, do you know what Joshua opened a company of his own as well? His turnover is already at three million bucks. I heard he’s going to hit a target of 20 million this year! He’s the one who’s hosting this gathering today.”

Philip did not like Yolanda holding him like this. He knew what this woman had in her mind.

He removed Yolanda’s hand from his arm politely and shook his head. He said, “Joshua has his own company? We haven’t talked in so long.”

Yolanda’s expression changed. She did not expect Philip to be so insensible. She made a face as her tone became colder. She crossed her arms across her chest and squeezed her breasts together. She

said, “Weren’t you guys best friends back then? What’s wrong? Did you guys fight?”

Yolanda knew that Philip and Joshua McAdams used to be best friends back then. They were always seen together. One would call them bosom buddies. Now, they did not even keep in touch anymore. They must have gotten into a fight because of Wynn.

Everyone knew that Joshua had feelings for Wynn back then. However, in the end, Wynn decided to be with Philip.

All the guys who had feelings for Wynn were jealous.

It was also because of this that Philip fell out with a lot of his friends.

That b*tch was such a femme fatale.

At this moment, Sadie came over as well. She was feeling nosey.

“Hey, who’s Joshua? What’s this about his company?” Sadie’s head was shaking slightly. She seemed passionate.

Philip shook his head and said, “I don’t know. I stopped talking to him after graduation.”

Yolanda gave a knowing nod and did not say anything more.

“Oh, right, are you still in contact with Juan Parker? Howard Lowe too. Oh, and also Carl Ortega! Did you stop talking to all of them?” Yolanda asked curiously.

When Sadie heard that, she frowned and complained. “Philip, why does it feel like you have zero contact with your old classmates? You’re so bad at keeping in contact with people!”

“I think I’m still alright. I’m not so sure about Juan, but I’m still in contact with Howard. Actually, I don’t really like to keep in touch with everyone. It’s enough for me to have a few close friends,” Philip said.

Philip felt a little sad when he thought about Juan.

He had not seen Howard in so long. He wondered about his wedding arrangements with Ruby.

Philip had yet to tell Howard about catching Ruby in the act at the hotel last time.

He was worried that Howard would be sad if he told him.

He was even more scared that Howard would not believe him. They might stop being friends because of this.

The three of them walked together and arrived at the private room after a short while. They could hear shrieks and screams from inside the room.

However, in a short while, they could hear all kinds of praises and compliments. They felt extremely awkward while listening to these noises outside of the room.

“Haha! How amazing, Mr. McAdams! You sounded just like the original soundtrack! I’m blown away by your talents!”

“Exactly! Mr. McAdam should participate in The Voice! With his voice, he’ll definitely be the winner!”

“Not only is Mr. McAdams rich and extremely talented, but he is also a hottie! He’s tall, rich, and handsome!”

…

The crowd was praising him respectfully. Philip felt awkward hearing those remarks. He could only chuckle to himself.

Yolanda pushed the door open and went in. She announced to the room, “Everybody, come see who I stumbled into today!”

The room fell silent immediately. Under the colorful lights, everyone’s eyes were glued on the person behind Yolanda.

Coldness.

Silence.

No one was cheering. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Only a few people shouted with a fake smile, “F*ck me! Philip Clarke is here!”

“He’s such a busy man! I haven’t seen him in three years and I finally get to see him here!”

“Philip, you son of a b*tch. If you’re doing badly, you should just tell us. We’ll definitely give you a hand so that you won’t have to dress like that!”

Laughter and nasty comments started to sound in the room.
