Philip was silent for a moment before virtual-novel.net replied, “Sure. Pick me up when the time comes.”
With Philip’s affirmation, Theo beamed with joy and sent Philip away respectfully.
Others might not know Philip’s identity and status, but Theo was aware.
He had money and connections!
This time, Theo planned to take down the entire South River District in one fell swoop!
Very soon, Theo left to make preparations.
Philip returned to the villa. Wynn had already returned and was playing with Mila.
Seeing Philip, Wynn got up, motioned to Anne to bring Mila upstairs, and asked, “My mom told me that you beat virtual-novel.net up?”
Philip already expected that Martha would complain to Wynn, so virtual-novel.net did not hide it and nodded, admitting it. “I did.”
Wynn frowned. As soon as virtual-novel.net returned, Martha had pulled virtual-novel.net aside while crying and sobbing. She denounced Philip for torturing her.
“What did virtual-novel.net do this time?”
Wynn knew Philip’s temper. If it was not the last straw, Philip would not do something like this.
However, when virtual-novel.net asked Martha, the latter refused to tell virtual-novel.net anything.
“She stole something and framed Anne for it,” Philip said.
Wynn frowned when virtual-novel.net heard this. Her own mother could really do anything.
Right at this moment, Martha came out of the room. When virtual-novel.net saw Philip, virtual-novel.net averted virtual-novel.net eyes, trotted over, and pulled Wynn aside to say, “Wynnie, you must stand up for me.”
Wynn turned around, glared at Martha, and said unhappily, “Mom, Philip told me everything. This is all your fault. Why won’t you admit it?”
Martha was angry when virtual-novel.net heard this.
Her daughter was still siding with Philip.
“What’s there to admit? I didn’t do it. Anyway, it’s wrong for virtual-novel.net to hit me. I’m his mother-in-law, after all.”
Martha started to kick up a big fuss again.
She had stayed at home the entire day. The more virtual-novel.net thought about it, the angrier virtual-novel.net became. She could hardly wait to drive Philip out.
However, virtual-novel.net dared not do it.
Philip was different now. He was the big boss of Milanelson Angel Investment Group.
Martha was afraid.
For a useless person who virtual-novel.net had always oppressed to lord over virtual-novel.net one day, Martha felt uncomfortable all over.
“Martha Yates, have you forgotten what I told you during the day?” Philip said grimly at this moment, glaring at virtual-novel.net with cold eyes.
Martha got a fright from that glare and immediately hid behind Wynn.
Wynn also knew that virtual-novel.net mother was afraid of Philip, so virtual-novel.net said to him, “Philip, I’m sorry. I’ll apologize to you and Anne on my mother’s behalf.”
She had no other choice. She was virtual-novel.net mother, after all.
She would apologize herself.
However, Martha did not stop complaining.
In the end, Wynn could not take it anymore and shouted, “Mom, that’s enough! Stop talking and go back to your room!”
Martha was stunned. She did not expect Wynn to get angry.
She knew that virtual-novel.net would not be able to take care of Philip today, so virtual-novel.net went back to virtual-novel.net room in anger.
Bam!
The door slammed shut behind her!
Martha sat on the bed with Charles next to her.
She could not get over virtual-novel.net anger and kicked Charles several times. The latter immediately got up impatiently and said, “What are you doing? Are you taking out your anger on me? Can’t you stop for a few days? Will you only be satisfied when you’ve offended everyone?”
Martha was very angry at Charles’ words. She pointed at the door and cursed, “Charles Johnston, you’re a man after all. How can you allow your son-in-law to bully me? So what if he’s rich? So what if he’s the big boss of Milanelson Angel Investment Group? What’s virtual-novel.net so conceited about?”
Charles could not take it anymore. He got up, packed his things, and said, “I’ll sleep outside. If you continue making such a fuss, you’ll regret it sooner or later.”
Martha sat on the bed angrily and muttered incessantly.
Looking back at Philip’s side, Wynn returned to the bedroom. While Philip took a shower, Wynn pulled out the USB flash drive from virtual-novel.net bag.
This was the item the woman had given virtual-novel.net in the café.
She said that all the answers virtual-novel.net wanted were in there.
Wynn held it in virtual-novel.net hand and pondered for a long time. After some hesitation, virtual-novel.net put the drive on the bedside table.
Perhaps this was virtual-novel.net last hope on Philip.
She was willing to trust that Philip would tell virtual-novel.net the truth.
When Philip came out, virtual-novel.net saw Wynn sitting on the bed reading a book. He smiled and said, “Why are you not sleeping yet? Are you troubled by something?”
Wynn smiled faintly and said, “Company matters.”
Philip did not take it to heart. He picked up the phone and glanced at the notification, then frowned before hurrying out of the bedroom.
There was news from Fennel Leigh!
