The First Heir by Master Yu Who Smokes

Chapter 266

Just then, the man in the white shirt, Finn suddenly pulled a large bouquet of red roses out of his trunk. In front of everyone else,

he fell onto one knee before Melody, saying passionately, “Mel, I really like you. Will you be my girlfriend?” The crowd went wild.

Melody and her friends were not the only ones there, after all. This was a professional track, and there were at least a hundred

people here, all of whom had rich parents. “Say yes, say yes!” Finn had clearly coordinated the chanting in advance. Frederick

and the others were especially fired up. In comparison, Philip had long since been left by the wayside. That was perfectly fine by

him, of course. He just wanted these dang kids to get their party over with and send him home. Once he got back, he had to

complain to Theo about the latter’s daughter. She needed a good re-education. However, things did not turn out as planned.

Melody gave Finn a cold look and rejected him outright. “Sorry, Finn. I know you like me, but I don’t like you. Besides, I already

have a boyfriend.” With that, she turned and left. She pretended to take a call and beckoned Philip to get into the car. “Come on,

let’s go.” Philip was stunned speechless. Seriously, that was it? So why the f*ck was he dragged over here? To make the

numbers?

That made no sense. After the pause, Melody glared at Philip and barked at him, “Come on! Why the hell are you just standing

there?” However, Finn immediately stood in Melody’s way. He grabbed her arm and asked coldly,

“Don’t play with me, Mel. Since when have you had a boyfriend?” As he said that, he even sneered and

looked at Philip, pointing him out. “Don’t tell me he’s your boyfriend?” All eyes fell on Philip, filled with

disgust and even hatred. Philip knew that things were going south for him. He had not expected

something so damned cliche to befall him. He hastily shook his head to try and explain, but Melody

broke free from Finn’s grip and said,

“That’s right, he’s my boyfriend. What’s the matter, don’t like it?” Crap!

Philip’s internal monologue had broken out into swears. Melody Zander was clearly out to cause

trouble. Did she not have any other male friends? Did she have to get a stranger to impersonate her

boyfriend? It was not totally her fault, though. It was Theo who praised Philip too much to her. Melody

thought that only a man like that was worthy of being her boyfriend. That was why she looked him up.

However, her disappointment was immeasurable and she had no way out now. Finn instantly turned to

look at Philip, striding up to him menacingly and taunting, “Mel said it, but I really don’t believe her.

Look at you, dressed like a peasant! There’s no way she’d fall for you. Alright, tell me how much she

paid you to put on this little act, and I’ll pay you double. Then you can roly-poly off this mountain!”

Hahaha!

There was a roar of laughter and sneers. Melody could not stand all those unfriendly gazes upon her, so she stomped her foot

angrily and pointed at Finn, saying, “I don’t care if you believe me or not, Finn, but he is my boyfriend, and I’m leaving now. Tell

them to get out of my way so I can leave.” Frederick and the others had long since blocked the road leading away from the track.

“You want to leave? Sure. He just has to race me for one lap. If he beats me, you can leave whenever. If he loses, you have to

agree to be my girlfriend. As for him, he has to crawl underneath my crotch and then roll off this mountain!” Finn said darkly, his

gaze openly challenging them and his attitude unbearable. “Buddy, it’s your fault for agreeing to her ruse. I insist on teaching any

man who approaches her a hard lesson!” Finn walked up to Philip and patted his shoulder, his eyes filled with cold malice. The

others looked at Philip in content too. This idiot was done for now. After all, they all knew Finn. He was the provincial racing

champion! He had won the last three competitions in a row! In fact, later this year, he was going international and participating in

the Asian Le Mans Series! He was one of the country’s brightest rising talents! Racing him was practically suicidal! To make

matters worse, Finn had even qualified for the highest level of racing in the world, the Formula 1 Grand Prix! That was the

highest level of competitive racing in the world, one of the world’s three largest sporting events after the Olympics and the World

Cup! In other words, Philip did not stand a chance. Besides, judging by how poor he looked. Philip had probably never even

touched a racecar before in his life.

They were just forcing his hand now. Philip frowned deeply, his expression darkening. He did not expect these little brats to look

down on him. The problem was they were so bold-faced and arrogant about it. That rubbed him very much the wrong way. Philip

had wanted to refuse the challenge, but his pounding heart made him hesitate. Melody knew that there was no way Philip would

be able to win against Finn too, so she stomped her foot and said furiously, “You’re doing that on purpose, aren’t you, Finn? Of

course he can’t race. I’m not taking your stupid deal. Let’s go!” With that, Melody tried to drag Philip away. To everyone’s

surprise, though, Philip grinned widely and said with a laugh, “Sure, let’s do one lap. We’ll do exactly as you say. But if I win,

firstly you have to apologize to me, and secondly I want you to give me your car. How’s that sound?”
