The First Heir

Chapter 217

Everyone fell into a state of shock as they turned their heads to look at the young man who emerged from the crowd.

He was just a normal guy. Who was he to say something like this?

Was he trying to save the damsel in distress?

That was 40,000 bucks!

A lot of people started looking at him in detest.

This guy was dressed so normally and yet, he was talking so big.

“Hehe, where did this penniless fool come from? He’s here trying to act like a big shot.”

“Perhaps he has an ulterior motive toward her because she looks pretty.”

“Him? He’s wearing cheap clothes. He’s obviously a loser.”

Some people were making fun of him inside their hearts and out loud. They did not care about Philip’s feelings at all.

Yolanda lifted her head and saw Philip through her tears. She felt embarrassed. In her opinion, how would she not feel frustrated after being seen in such an embarrassing state by such a person?

Plus, she thought Philip was here to make fun of her.

“Philip, what are you doing here? Go away! I don’t need your help!” Yolanda yelled angrily.

At this moment, Sadie ran over through the crowd.

“Yola, what happened?”

“Sadie…” When Yolanda saw Sadie, her tears escaped her eyes. She held onto Sadie and started sobbing.

“It’s okay, Yola. What happened? Tell me.” Sadie comforted her and patted her back softly.

She noticed the smashed bottles of wine on the floor as well as the puddle that had formed. She immediately understood what happened when she heard the criticisms from the crowd.

Yolanda had gotten herself in trouble!

“Sadie, I smashed six bottles of Lafite! She wants me to pay 42,000 bucks!” Yolanda was crying sadly.

“42,000?” Sadie was shocked.

Her family was not too well-off either. She could not afford to fork out that amount immediately.

She was regretting her decision to come out. Now that her best friend was asking her for help, it was difficult to reject.

The waitress who was standing at one side was getting impatient. She snorted and said, “Madam, please pay up now. We still have work to do. If not, I’ll call the cops.”

There was such a huge crowd around them. If she did not handle this well, she would be criticized further.

“Don’t call the cops. Please don’t. I’ll definitely pay.”

Yolanda cried and shook her head. Then, she looked at Sadie hopefully and begged, “Sadie, you’re my best friend. You’ll help me, right?”

Sadie was in a difficult position. She awkwardly said, “Yola, I… I don’t have that much money as well. You know about the situation in my family… I still have to pay for my brother’s studies.”

When Yolanda heard this, she panicked. At the same time, she started to detest Sadie.

People like her were fake friends indeed. Sadie became unreliable the moment Yolanda needed her the most.

“Yola, why don’t you ask for help from Joshua? He must have the money. He might even help you pay for the damages. After all, you two just… So, he’ll not turn a blind eye to you when you’re in need, right?” Sadie suggested.

“I… Will it work?” Yolanda was ashamed. Would Joshua look down on her for asking him for help at a time like this?

She had always maintained the image of a goddess in front of everyone.

However, she did not have a choice now. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

“Hurry up, please. Are you going to pay or not? If not, I’ll call the cops.” The waitress urged.

“I…” Yolanda could not stop her tears. Finally, she braced herself and took out her phone to call Joshua.

Over here, Joshua was fuming. Suddenly, he got Yolanda’s call and she was sobbing. After he found out what had happened, he said in an overbearing manner, “Alright, wait for me. I’ll go over right now. It’s just a few bottles of wine. Is all this necessary?”

Slam!

After he hung up the phone, Joshua brought a few guys over to the scene intimidatingly. He shouted when he was still quite a distance away, “Hey, what happened? You’re bullying my girlfriend, eh? It’s just a few bottles of stupid Lafite! How much can they cost?”

Joshua had been feeling frustrated earlier, which is why he could not wait to gain some respect back in front of all these people.

When Yolanda saw Joshua, she ran into his arms and started wailing sadly.

“Josh, they’re bullying me! They want me to pay 42,000 bucks!” Yolanda sobbed. Her voice sounded coy and childish.

Joshua held Yolanda and comforted her. “It’s okay, it’s just 42,000 bucks. I’ll pay for you.”

When Yolanda heard that, a smile appeared on her face. She wiped her tears and thanked him profusely. “Thank you, Josh. Mua!”

After she said that, she kissed Joshua on the face loudly.

This gesture was extremely seductive to Joshua. He leaned into Yolanda’s ear and mumbled something. Then, Yolanda’s face turned bright red. Her legs started twisting together like two pieces of ropes.

Then, Joshua said coldly to the waitress, “42,000 bucks, yeah? Put it on my bill. I’ll pay for it later.”

The waitress saw that Joshua was acting like a boss, so she nodded and agreed.

However, all of a sudden…
