“Oh, um… Mr. Thomas, please don’t misunderstand. Please don’t mind me. I’m just a wretched old woman. I was just babbling before. Please don’t take my words to heart.”
Martha was frantic, but virtual-novel.net was excited. She got up and went over to brew some tea and cut some fruits. She wanted so badly to give George all the best food in virtual-novel.net home.
George just smiled lightly. He said courteously, “You don’t have to do that. I’m just driving little Philip home. I’ll get going now.”
“It’s nothing, it’s nothing at all. It’s such an honor to have you in our house, Mr. Thomas. Please have some, these are the fruits I just bought today. This is also the best Maojian tea. I won’t even be willing to drink this usually.”
Martha’s attitude did a 180 change. She was eagerly attentive to George.
She even interrupted Charles when virtual-novel.net wanted to say something.
“Sit there and read your newspaper,” Martha scolded Charles before turning around and looking at George like virtual-novel.net was a national treasure. Her eyes were shining brightly.
Wynn felt helpless. Her mother was so embarrassing.
Just now, virtual-novel.net wanted to kick virtual-novel.net out and now, virtual-novel.net wanted to glue virtual-novel.net eyes on him.
“Mom, Mr. Thomas has to attend to numerous affairs of state every day. He’s busy,” Wynn said.
Martha glared at Wynn and said, “What do you know? Stop talking nonsense.”
Then, virtual-novel.net smiled and got up. She glared at Philip and said, “Get up. Go over there.”
For lack of a better option, Philip could only get up.
Martha sat down directly next to George. Her face was filled with flattery as virtual-novel.net said, “Um, Mr. Thomas, how do you know our Philip?”
Now, virtual-novel.net was starting to talk about Philip. How shameless.
Philip was just a spineless coward but to virtual-novel.net surprise, virtual-novel.net knew such a rich entrepreneur.
The sun really came out from the west.
George smiled and said, “I met Phil incidentally. He helped me last time and this time, I’m returning the favor by helping him.”
“Oh, virtual-novel.net helped you?” Martha murmured while smiling brightly. She peered at Philip and felt frustration in virtual-novel.net heart.
She thought that maybe Philip was something special. Who knew virtual-novel.net was still a spineless coward.
There were all kinds of favors in the world and virtual-novel.net used it to get himself out of prison!
If virtual-novel.net was the one asking for the favor, virtual-novel.net would ask for a huge sum of money.
Philip was helpless. He did not say anything.
At this moment, George got up and shook hands with everyone. He said, “I’m sorry, everyone. Since Phil is fine, then I shall head back now. Sorry for the disturbance.”
How would Martha allow a money tree to walk away? She grabbed George’s hand and said frantically, “Mr. Thomas, thank you for helping our Philip. Please come have dinner with us next time.”
George smiled and exchanged a few words with Martha before leaving.
Martha sent virtual-novel.net off personally. When virtual-novel.net got into the Bentley, virtual-novel.net walked back to the house looking like virtual-novel.net had not fully expressed herself.
Bentley!
That was a luxurious car!
When virtual-novel.net got into the house, virtual-novel.net shouted excitedly, “Charlie, we’re gonna be rich! That was George Thomas! He’s rich! He’s a big millionaire!”
Charles looked at virtual-novel.net coldly and said, “You were ready to kick virtual-novel.net out just now.”
Charles was upset. There was such a rich and powerful man in his house earlier but virtual-novel.net did not even get a chance to talk to him. This faded old woman dominated all of the conversations.
Martha rolled virtual-novel.net eyes at virtual-novel.net and felt pleased with herself. It was unknown what virtual-novel.net was thinking about right now. When virtual-novel.net saw that Philip was still in the room, virtual-novel.net changed virtual-novel.net usual horrible temperament toward virtual-novel.net and walked in front of virtual-novel.net with a huge smile.
“Philip, don’t blame me for treating you like that in the past. If you had told me that you knew George Thomas sooner, I would’ve definitely treated you like you’re my own son.”
Martha’s shamelessness was truly next level.
When Philip had no money nor power, virtual-novel.net humiliated virtual-novel.net and looked down on virtual-novel.net to no end.
Now that virtual-novel.net knew George, virtual-novel.net wanted to treat virtual-novel.net like virtual-novel.net was virtual-novel.net own son.
Wynn felt that Martha was crossing the line. Her own mother was so discriminatory.
“Right, Philip. From now on, flatter George more. There will only be advantages and no disadvantages to this,” Martha said. “What did you help virtual-novel.net with?”
This was what Martha was concerned about the most. She was wondering whether virtual-novel.net could get some money out of this.
Philip made up a lie on the spot. “I was there when Mr. Thomas had a heart attack on the street. I was the one who sent virtual-novel.net to the hospital.”
“Oh, that’s too bad. He didn’t give you any money?” When Martha said this, virtual-novel.net eyes were glued on Philip.
He had given virtual-novel.net 100,000 bucks last time and it caused such a huge commotion.
Was George the one who gave virtual-novel.net that money?
Then it must be more than 100,000!
This guy must be hiding the rest of the money!
She had to get it from him!
“Mom, what are you thinking? Do you not know what kind of person Philip is? How would virtual-novel.net ask someone for money?” Wynn said, virtual-novel.net face cold.
What was virtual-novel.net mother doing? Was virtual-novel.net suspecting Philip?
“What do you know? Shut up!” Martha yelled at Wynn before looking at Philip once more. She said, “Philip, you’re also addressing me as your mother. My daughter is married to you and virtual-novel.net has suffered for three long years. You’ve embarrassed me and your father multiple times. You can’t hide this from us. How much did virtual-novel.net give you?”
She was sure that Philip had received some money from George Thomas.
Philip looked at Wynn and sighed slightly. He did not have a choice.
If virtual-novel.net was targeted by Martha, virtual-novel.net just had to comply.
“One million. There’s still 900,000 bucks left. It’s to treat Mila’s illness.” Philip could only say that. He told Wynn before that virtual-novel.net had a card with one million bucks.
One million bucks!
When virtual-novel.net heard this, Martha was full of energy. She stared at Philip and brought out the power of a mother-in-law. She reached out virtual-novel.net hand and said coldly, “Give me the card. I’ll keep it for you.”
