Chapter 160
Lynn was panicking. She stomped her feet and grabbed Philip’s arm. She said, “Philip, tell them if this is real or not. No, you have
to call Theo now and tell him to come here!” Lynn was starting to throw a tantrum. She had never been suspected like this
before, so of course she was feeling unhappy.
However, Philip shook his head and said, “I’m sorry, I don’t know any Theo Zander. Lynn, did you make a mistake?” “Hahaha!”
Laughter immediately erupted. Lynn’s face went red. She could feel the detest coming from her friends. She felt like a featherless
chicken that was standing in front of everyone naked. She was being criticized and shamed by everyone. “Lynn, that’s enough.
Your brother-in-law has already said that, so stop lying to us already. We won’t laugh at you.” “Your brother-in-law is an honest
man.
He’s not that much of an idiot it seems.” “That’s enough. We’ll just go and have fun ourselves.” Her
friends left while laughing. Lynn was livid. She turned around angrily and swung her hand to slap Philip.
She yelled, “Philip, why aren’t you telling the truth? Are you happy now that I’m being mocked by
them?” However, her hand was caught in the air by Philip. “Lynn, I’m warning you. Don’t try to use me.

like this, do you understand?” Philip turned cold all of a sudden. His tone was icy, and there was anger
flickering in his eyes. Lynn was stunned. She retracted her hand. Then, she stared at Philip fearfully
and angrily. After a long while, she said, “Philip Clarke, you’ll regret this.” ‘How dare he yell at me!
‘Damn it!’ Lynn was unhappy. She was humiliated by her friends and now she was getting yelled at by
Philip. She had never been so battered. However, Philip replied flatly, “Whatever, but I’m warning you, if
you dare to do something out of line, you’ll have to suffer the consequences.” After he said that, Philip
turned around and walked away with his hands in his pockets. Looking at Philip’s back, Wynn was
going mad with anger. She stomped her feet on the ground and said angrily, “Philip, how dare you
offend me! I will make you regret this! I’m so mad!” She wanted to get back at Philip. The easiest way
was to threaten him with something. After Philip left, he went to Apex Group to see George. “Young
Master, I’ve prepared the birthday present you asked for. Do you want me to open it for you to take a
look?” George looked respectful. Behind him was a blonde secretary with blue eyes. She was holding
an embroidered box that was the size of a fist. The box looked delicate. It was obvious that the
contents inside were valuable just by looking at the box. Philip took it from the secretary and said, “No
need. It’s just a gift. Your box is too fancy. Change it to another one that looks simpler.” In a flash, the
secretary changed it to a normal box. Philip held it in his hands and nodded while feeling at ease.
“Alright, I’ll go back now.”
When Philip walked to the door, he stopped suddenly. He asked slowly,
“When will Chloe arrive in Riverdale?” “Miss Sommerset might be arriving in these two days,” George
replied, looking worried. The young master’s past romance. She was not an easy person to deal with.
She was the Sommersets’ third daughter, after all. Plus, she had been so badly hurt back then. Chloe
had been looking for Philip these past years. She only found him because he inherited his family’s
fortune during this period of time.
Back then, Philip had left without saying anything. This morning, Martha went out early in the morning.
She was wearing a typical checkered middle-aged woman attire and holding a tumbler of black chicken
soup that she made herself. She called a car and went to Apex Group. She was giddy with glee and felt
like she was walking on clouds. Why did Martha come here? She came here to see George, of course.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe had planned this out clearly.
She was going to fawn over George and would ask him for money! Philip saved his life, so one million
was too little. Philip felt embarrassed to ask for more but she was not. She was thick-skinned. She
would not ask for much, she would only ask for ten million. If he refused, then she would ask for five
million. If he still refused, she would make a fuss. He had such a big company and was the richest man
in Riverdale. He must be loaded. He would not care about these few million bucks. When she got to
Apex Group, Martha got out of the car and went to the entrance of the building. At the same time, a
group of people walked out. It was George! Martha’s eyes brightened. She wanted to rush over while
being full of joy and expectations.
However, Martha stopped walking. Was that not Philip next to George?
Why was that coward here? Martha hid at one side hurriedly. Then, she saw George asking Philip to get into the Bentley
respectfully. Respectfully! She saw this with her own two eyes. George was being so respectful to Philip.
He even bowed and opened the door for him. How… How was this possible? Was this really her spineless son-in-law, Philip
Clarke?
