Chapter 155
Swoosh! The door opened to reveal Philip standing there. Martha’s expression froze. Then, she said curiously, “Aren’t you in jail?
How did you get out?” Philip smiled and said, “Mom, I didn’t break the law, so naturally they let me out.” At the same time, Wynn
heard Philip’s voice and ran out.
She hugged Philip and wailed. Philip consoled her. “It’s alright now. I’m fine. See, I’m here now.” Everyone sat together in the
living room. Martha and Charles sat on the sofa. Their eyes were piercing and they looked angry.
They stared at Philip like they were going to interrogate him. There was an old man next to Philip. It
was George. Martha started at George, looking annoyed, “Philip, who is this old man? How can you
bring strangers into my house?” Martha did not like this old man’s outfit. He was old and wearing a suit.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe was also holding a black hat that she had never seen before. There was a grin on his face. It was
obvious that he was not an honorable person. No wonder Philip was arrested by the police. He was
hanging out with people like this! Philip explained calmly, “Mom, he’s my… friend. He’s the reason I got
out.” Philip did not tell them what kind of friend he was. If he told her the man sitting opposite her was
the richest man in Riverdale and that he was his butler, would Martha go insane? “My name is George
Thomas. Nice to meet you two.” George knew that his young master’s mother-in-law was a devious
person. She was famous for being unreasonable and causing a scene. Now that he got to see her in
the flesh, she was indeed outstanding. “George… George Thomas?” Wynn finally came back to her
senses. She looked at the person next to Philip and said in a surprised voice, “You’re really Mr.
Thomas? George Thomas?”
“Wynn, you know this old man?” Martha pressed her lips together. She chuckled coldly. She looked like
she was asking for someone to slap her across the face. “Mom, George is the richest man in
Riverdale…” Wynn said excitedly. Her husband knew George Thomas! “The richest man in Riverdale?
A man like him?” Martha looked at George in disdain. She said in detest, “Wynn, stop joking. How can
Philip know someone as rich as him? Besides, just because his name is George Thomas doesn’t mean
he’s the same man as the one you’re talking about.” It was understandable that Martha did not know
George. She did not care about the business world.
She only busied herself with minor gossips. Plus, in her eyes, how would a spineless coward like Philip
know a rich man like that? If he really knew a rich man with a status like that, she would kowtow to him
and thank him profusely. George’s face twitched at Martha’s jeers. However, he controlled his temper.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWynn was frantic. She kept on eying Martha but Martha ignored her. On the contrary, she started
making nastier remarks at him. “Philip, next time, don’t bring any irrelevant people into our house. If
not, don’t even think about stepping foot in this house again,” Martha said in dissatisfaction.
Even her eye bags were filled with frigid irony and scorching satire.
However, at the same time, the news started broadcasting on the television.
“According to our latest news, the richest man in our city and chairman of Apex Group, Mr. George Thomas, has funded 2 billion
into building the largest police academy in our city. He has made huge contributions to the steady development of our city.” After
the news was announced, the entire living room fell silent. Especially when George’s photo and interview footage was shown on
the television. Martha’s eyes went wide. She stared at the richest man on the television and shifted her gaze to the old man who
was sitting in front of her. Her eyes kept wandering back and forth between the two of them. “My word!” Martha started trembling
from fear. She pointed to the television and said, “You… Y-you… You’re really that George Thomas? George Thomas, the richest
man in Riverdale?” My gosh!
Martha was having an emotional breakdown. What had she done? What had she said? She was so silly! A rich man like him was
in her house and she still made cutting remarks and mocked him!
