Chapter 276

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 there was Ruby Ford! The woman you’ve loved
for four long years! The woman who has only seen you as a wallet and nothing else!”

“Stop!”

Howard turned around and glowered at Philip with reddened eyes. “It wasn’t her! It wasn’t!”



Right at that moment, the doors to the elevator opened again and out walked Ruby.

Her eyebrows were furrowed tightly as she walked past Philip to glare at Howard with both her hands
crossed before her chest. “You saw everything, didn’t you?”

Quickly wiping the tears in his eyes, Howard brought his entire face into a smile. “What are you talking
about? Where did you go? I thought you said you went to buy something? Come on, let’s go. My
parents will be here soon.”

Smack!

With a slap to his cheek, Ruby stared disdainfully at Howard. “It’s over, Howard Lowe. I’ve had enough,
let’s break up.”

She was cold, her tone completely disregarding their past.

Howard was stunned, but he held on to his composed facade. “Come on, Ruby. It’s not funny. We’re
getting engaged today. My parents are at the door.”

He could not believe his eyes. This was the woman he had loved for four long years.

Yet, Ruby never once loved him.

Flinging Howard’s hand away, Ruby sneered audaciously. “Engaged? What can you give me, Howard
Lowe? Do you have money? Or do you have a house? What, were you expecting me to live in a rented
apartment with you for the rest of our married lives?”

As she spoke, Ruby pulled out a cigarette from her purse. Lighting it, she took a long drag and flicked
her hair to reveal her sculptured features. With a slim and slender finger, she poked disdainfully at
Howard’s chest. “Stop dreaming, Howard. Everything with you was just a game. You’re worth nothing



more to me than a wallet! Getting engaged? Your parents are farmers, they’re not worth me calling
them ‘mom’ and ‘dad’!”

Those were horrible words to hear.

Anger spread like wildfire within Philip.

‘What the hell, Ruby Ford?

‘How can you even say something like that?

‘If anything, Howard has spent four years taking care of you. How can you be so cruel?’

Howard froze and averted his gaze to the floor. His hands were clenched into fists as he spoke in a
self-convincing manner, “Come on, Ruby. Let’s not fight, okay? I know you’re angry about what
happened today. I’m sorry, please don’t break up with me, please. My parents took a six-hour train just
to be here today. They really like you, they do. I promise they’ll treat you like their own daughter when
you marry me.”

Howard quickly fetched out a passbook and a small box from his breast pocket. Going down on one
knee, he opened the box to reveal a small diamond ring. “Ruby, I got this for you. I know the diamond’s
small, but I promise I’ll work harder and change it to a bigger one soon. The passbook holds all my
savings, so there’s around 300,000 bucks in there. It should be enough to pay the first installment for a
suite.”

Their actions stirred the interests of many passersby.

Even Ruby’s friends had come out of the private room to watch the commotion.

Nobody dared to step out as they feasted their eyes quietly upon the scene before them.



It was common knowledge between them that Howard Lowe was merely one of Ruby’s toys.

Just another dumb*ss.

“Haha.”

Ruby scoffed as she flung the ring in Howard’s hand away. She yelled, “Are you f*cking stupid? What
makes you think I’d want some small ring? Oh, and your f*cking passbook too! 300,000 bucks? What,
you want me to pay debts with you too now? You wish!”

Out the elevator strolled a greasy middle-aged man.

He was the same man who had been wrapped around Ruby mere moments ago.

He scornfully approached their small group and clung an arm around Ruby. While condescendingly
staring at the kneeling Howard from atop, he mocked. “You have no money and yet you think you have
the right to date and get married, you little sh*t? Keep dreaming, you dumb*ss! Ruby is my precious
treasure. What I give her every month is more than your entire passbook, you idiot!”

With that, he pulled Ruby closer to him and smacked a possessive kiss on her lips in front of everyone.

Ruby started off uneasy, but then quickly accepted the kiss.

What a perfect match of a b*tch and a b*stard. The duo turned to leave, but not before they stared
unfeelingly and spewed a few more insults at Howard who was still kneeling before them.

Frenzy and riot arose among the spectators.

“Hold on! What makes you think the both of you can leave? You think that ‘cause you’re rich you can
belittle him?”



Right at that moment shot out a hostile scoff that stood out from the commotion!

Philip had enough!

Trailing his gaze to the kneeling Howard, he could feel the anger in his chest reaching new peaks!

Philip steeled his gaze back to glare at Ruby and the middle-aged man. He took a few steps forward
and wore an expression of unadulterated fury.

“Ruby Ford, what if I were to tell you that Howard is actually very rich and has hundreds of millions
worth of assets? Would you still humiliate him the same way you are now?”
