Chase raised his eyes to look at the screen, his excitement spilling into his expression. “That wheelie has the world record for the fastest launch, and only one person ever used it. The inventor of that move was the F1 champion for four terms running. They say he’s the best racer the world has seen thus far, and some call him the international racing god. He set countless records in the racing scene that no one has managed to break to this day.”Shock washed over the audience’s expression in waves as Chase explained.In the end, they were almost numb to it all.“Do you mean that mysterious international racing god, Uncle Chase? No way.”Frederick stood in the crowd, voicing his extreme doubts.That had to be a lie!Frederick was not the only one. Many others shared his suspicions.That was insane.Chase frowned deeply. He looked at the image on the screen, his eyes filled with confusion. “I don’t know either. That mysterious racing god vanished seven years ago and was never se
On the screen, the black 86 had its tires in the gutter by the side. The car slanted, the tires rapidly spinning against the road. The friction resulted in plumes of white smoke, and the tires began to shriek as well!It took him slightly over two seconds!The car did not slow down at all!It simply lurched forth and left Finn’s Ferrari far behind!The whole action was quick and elegant!The cheers were abruptly silenced!Everyone was stunned speechless!Even the racecar girls who did not understand such things were clapping their hands to their mouths and gasping out loud!What was that just now?They had not even seen it clearly!Was that still racing?Finn was completely floored. He had been overtaken!In fact, he could not even tell how Philip did it!F*ck!In his fury, Finn slammed the accelerator, trying his best to catch up!However, after Finn personally witnessed how Philip traversed the next four hairpins, there was nothing but shock left in his heart!He had
Philip turned and spared Chase Fisher a glance before he replied, “If you’d excuse me, I’m running against time. My wife’s waiting for me at the hospital.” Pfft! Everyone else fainted again! This dude was unnecessarily pretentious! How could he just brush Chase Fisher off like he was nothing? Did he not know who Chase Fisher was? He was the vice president of the National Association Of Car Racing! He was one of the country’s best racers too! Yet to Philip Clarke, racing was just a game to play. ‘If you like it, you can have it.’Everyone might throttle him should they know of Philip’s current thoughts. Being a racer was the dream career of many young males! Instead of being irked by Philip’s attitude, Chase smiled even friendlier at him. “Should you have any free time in the future, Mr. Clarke, you’re always welcome to drop by. This is my name card.” Not rejecting him this time, Philip took the card from Chase and stuffed it into the pocket of his pants. Then,
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
Of course, she showed up. Today was her sister’s engagement party after all. She had arrived after buttering herself up to the nines. What for, you ask? To meet more boys, what else? “How’s your boyfriend, Sis? I’ve only met him a handful of times. What does his family do?” Isabelle spoke, turning to look at Ruby who was evidently more interested in the contents of her phone than their conversation. Ruby smiled. “Nothing special. He treats me well though, so I thought it’s best that we get engaged first. That way, at least Mom and Dad will stop nagging, you know?” A quick flash of disappointment shone in Isabelle’s eyes. She had assumed that her future brother-in-law would be the scion of the rich. Who would have thought he was from a normal family? ‘Has my arrogant sister changed her taste in men? ‘So, she prefers the honest kind now?’Ruby’s WeChat with Mr. Wade was filled with flirtatious messages of all sorts. They had already picked a time to meet as well. She wou
“Philip Clarke!” Everyone froze the moment they saw Philip enter the private room. “Holy f*ck! That’s Philip Clarke?” There was a strange glint in everyone’s eyes as they scrutinized him all over. Who would have thought they would meet him today? Philip was confused as well. Something was off about the atmosphere ever since he stepped foot into the room, especially as he glossed over the strange look in everybody’s eyes. They were filled with unadulterated insult and contempt. “Isn’t your boyfriend’s friend a little too shoddy, Ruby? What he wears is even more miserable than your future husband.” Isabelle began to taunt. Anger rose the moment she laid her eyes on Philip’s poker face. Not only had she lost her dignity at the BMW motorcycle showroom last time, but it even cost her her job as well. This was an act of revenge she had to take!She would make him pay, and if squishing him like a bug under her foot was what needed to be done, she would. Even if it was
In the elevator, Ruby had also recognized both Howard and Philip.Without an ounce of regret, her first response was to frown disgustedly and glare at the duo.Then, right before Howard’s eyes, she pecked the middle-aged man on his cheek and neck.She even went as far as to humor the man by clinging on to him. Time froze. The elevator doors closed. Philip sighed hopelessly and walked forward to pat the shocked Howard on his shoulder. “I’ve been trying to tell you. Ruby…” Howard interrupted before Philip could finish talking. With a forced smile and tears that threatened to spill from his eyes, he said, “Come on, let’s go. It’s time to eat. Ruby just went to buy something. She’ll be back in a while.” Philip was stunned. ‘Howard really doesn’t plan to admit it, does he?’ Having said that, Howard turned to leave. Philip’s expression hardened as he watched Howard’s retreating figure. He roared, “Dude! How the f*ck long more are you going to lie to yourself? That over ther
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
