Chapter 264
There was a generation gap between him and kids these days. He had no idea what they were thinking. “Hey, hold up. Did I say
you could leave?”
Melody put her hands on her hips and pointed at Philip with a huff. Philip had barely turned when a few young men and women
poured out of the mansion. They were all dressed to the nines and clearly came from wealthy backgrounds. When they saw
Melody, all of them beamed and waved at her.
“Hey, Melody! We were waiting for you. Where did you go? You said you went to pick up a friend, right? Where are they?
Introduce them to us.”
“Anyone the great Miss Zander calls a friend must be impressive indeed.”
“He’s not your boyfriend, is he? That would break poor Master Finn’s heart.” They spoke over each
other, their arms over each other’s shoulders as they joked and laughed. They were the very picture of
youthful energy.
Melody glared at the boy with the baseball cap and blonde close crop. She berated him, “Frederick
Kelly, could you lay off it already? You always have the most to say.” The boy with the blonde close
crop shrugged and stuck out his tongue, looking completely unaffected. Next to him, there was a boy
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwith a white shirt and two buttons undone to show how wild and free he was. He had slightly long, K-
pop style silky hair. His features were well-defined, and he looked both handsome and energetic. He
also wore a pair of simple ankle-length black slacks. Anyone could tell at a glance that they were not
cheap. On his feet, he wore fashionable white sports shoes that emphasized his youthful vigor. As for
his watch, it was a Cartier worth several hundred thousand! It had to be said that this young man was
quite dashing, but it was also quite obvious that he came from money. At the same time, he was staring
at Melody, his love for her obvious in his eyes. With a smile, he said, “Welcome back, Mel. Where’s
your friend?” He did not seem very confident when he was talking to Melody, so he quickly changed the
subject. That was when the rest of them finally began to notice Philip. The problem was that he was
just dressed too shabbily. To these rich heirs and heiresses, he barely registered on their radar. At first,
they all just assumed he was a member of the manor staff in charge of collecting the trash. It was only
when they saw that Melody was staring at him that they understood.
“What the f*ck, seriously? Is he the friend you mentioned, Melody? This peasant?” The boy with the
blonde close crop laughed out loud and walked around Philip a few times, saying, “Hey, bro! Are you a
garbage collector?”
As soon as he said that, the others began giggling. “Don’t say that, Fred.
Don’t you know the really rich people these days like to act poor? It’s a trend amongst them.” One of
the sexy-looking girls crossed her arms in front of her chest and turned up her nose. Frederick snorted
with laughter and pointed at Philip condescendingly. “Him, rich? What a joke.” As he said that, he
turned to look at Melody and asked with a smile, “Melody, is he really the friend you brought over?”
Melody nodded, unmoved, and then looked at Philip calmly. “Hey, introduce yourself to them. After that,
we’re going to Dragonstone Mountain for a race.” A race? Philip looked completely out of the loop. He
said helplessly, “Sorry, but I have something to do, so I think I’ll leave now. You guys have fun.” What
was the matter with this Melody Zander? Was this how Theo raised his daughter? All of a sudden!
Someone yelled at Philip coldly from behind him. “Stand right there! Who said you could leave?” Finn
barked at him, his expression frosty.
He really did not like the way Philip treated Melody. Even Finn himself did not dare to treat Melody so
nonchalantly. What right did this peasant have to give Melody the cold shoulder? He was asking for a
beating! Finn walked over and looked at Philip coldly, saying, “Hey, what was with your attitude just
now? Melody told you to introduce yourself, so how could you just walk away?” There was another
reason why Finn was so upset with Philip, and that was the fact that Melody had personally gone to
pick him up. Was there something between the two of them? To Finn, Philip was now something of a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmlove rival. Still, the guy just reeked of poverty. Everything about it was low and tawdry. Philip looked at
Finn calmly and said, “Sorry, but I have nothing to discuss with clueless kids like you. I don’t know her,
either. If you’re trying to show off in front of her, then you got the wrong guy. I’m just a normal person,
so I’ll get out of your way now.” With that, Philip turned and made to leave. However, this time it was
Frederick who ran to him with a hint of a smile. He stood in Philip’s way and taunted him, saying,
“Don’t be in such a rush, man. Stay and play. Since Melody’s already brought you here, we can’t just let you leave. That would be
so rude of us.”
As Frederick said that, he gestured at Finn with his eyebrows. The two of them had grown up together, so they could read each
other’s thoughts quite easily. They were thinking of playing a nice little game with Philip. Melody watched everything unfold,
looking detached. She had no intention of helping. She just wanted to see what was so special about this Mr. Clarke, the man her
father talked about. It seemed to her that he was just another ordinary guy. She seriously did not know what her father was
thinking. Why did he tell her to get on his good side? How disgusting! At the same time, Wynn had arrived at the bank and was
standing in front of an ATM, ready to see how much money there was in the card Philip had given her. She put the card into the
machine and entered the PIN. He had told her that the PIN
was her birthday, and that did make Wynn quite happy. Next, she tapped on
