The First Heir

There were all kinds of cold stares and jeers.

This was the so-called gathering. Eventually, it would become a place for flattery and sneers.

This was also why Philip did not want to come.

What kind of gathering was this? It was all fake. The ex-classmates here were all swinging with each other. In addition to that, the men always tried to curry favors and be posers.

“Philip, why didn’t you tell me that you were coming? I could’ve gone to pick you up. What’s wrong? You didn’t come the first two times I asked you but you’re here now when Yolanda’s the one inviting you. Are you trying to disrespect me?”

Joshua was the one who said that. He stood up and walked over. He placed his arm around Philip’s shoulder and pretended to be cordial.

Philip looked at him coldly. Had he become so hypocritical now?

When did he invite him?

Was it not Oliver the one who invited him the previous two times?

After walking to the middle of the room, Joshua gave Philip a glass of wine. He said, “Come, it’s such a rare chance for us to see Philip. Let’s give him a toast. This was the most popular guy in our school back then!”

Everyone was feeling indifferent about Philip. They heard that he was not doing so well all these years. He was not as dazzling as he was before.

However, since Joshua had already said that, they all lifted their glasses as they wanted to flatter Joshua.

Philip chuckled coldly and drank his wine. Then, he sat down at a corner.

However, it was obvious that Joshua would not let go of this rare opportunity.

He hinted at Carl who was sitting at one side and the latter immediately got it. He said loudly, “Say, Philip, you son of a b*tch. Where have you been all these years? You don’t even pick up your phone. Did you change your number? You didn’t come to the gathering when Oliver invited you. Are you not bothered about your old classmates anymore?”

Carl knew what Joshua wanted. He wanted him to humiliate Philip, or rather, to shame him.
