Chapter 167
When he heard Wynn’s voice, Philip’s face fell. He stared at Chloe intensely. Chloe looked at Philip with a fake smile and said,
“Hello, Wynn.
I’m Chloe.” There was silence on the other end of the phone. “How can I help you?” Wynn was a woman with a temper. It was
obvious that she was mad from her cold tone. Chloe did not answer immediately. She looked at Philip and said softly, “If Wynn
knows who you are, how will she react?
Have you ever thought about it?” Philip clenched his fists, his eyes heated.
His low voice sounded like the growl of a beast. He said, “Chloe Sommerset, you’re playing with fire.” Philip was nervous, but at
the same time, he was furious. He did not like to be threatened! “Philip, do you not understand me?
The more exciting a game is, the more I’ll like it.” Chloe placed her hand under her chin and looked at
him provocatively. Then, she said into the phone, “Wynn, what kind of man do you think Philip is?”
What kind of man Philip was? Wynn was taken aback. She answered without even thinking,
“Miss Sommerset, I don’t even know you. If you’re here because of my husband, then we can talk face
to face. I’ll try my best to fulfill whatever conditions you want. However, I must warn you not to break

like this. Her expression froze as she knitted her beautiful eyebrows together. She looked arrogant and
icy. Chloe said coldly, “Wynn, I don’t think you know your husband that well. Have you ever looked into
his past? Do you know about his family background?” “What do you mean?” Wynn was puzzled. She
did not understand what Chloe was talking about. She was right. Wynn did not understand Philip all
that much. Wynn did not know what Philip was like before university. She had only heard stories from
Philip himself. Plus, she had never met those friends Philip mentioned. She only knew recently what
Philip’s family was like and what jobs his parents had. Did Philip really run away from home as he said?
Wynn was confused. Her voice became less confident. “If you want to know about Philip’s past, come
to Northern Sky Western Restaurant,” Chloe said calmly. Her eyes were glued on Philip the entire time.
There was silence on the other end of the phone. Then, Wynn replied, “Okay.” After she hung up,
Chloe stood proudly in front of Philip. She looked pleased as she had managed to get away with her
cunning plans. She said, “You don’t look nervous at all.” Philip frowned and asked, “What are you trying
to do?” He did not take action just now. He was waiting for Chloe. If she exposed him through the
phone, then he would not hesitate to take action to stop this from happening. Chloe smirked and
reached out a fair hand. She glided her hand across Philip’s resolute face. Her eyes were filled with
love and admiration.
She said, “It’s simple. Have dinner with me tonight. We haven’t had dinner together in seven years.”
Have dinner with her? Philip was enraged.
“Impossible! You’re extorting me!” Chloe smiled and said, “It’s up to you.
Plus, it’s just dinner. Why are you so nervous? Why? Are you scared that your wife might see us
together?” Chloe did not continue talking. She waited for Philip to answer her. After a while, Philip
replied, “Alright, I’ll go, but I must warn you. If you expose anything about me to Wynn, I’ll make you
regret this.” Philip turned around and left angrily after he said that. Chloe stood in the office alone. She
watched as Philip left. Her heart started throbbing with pain. ‘Why? ‘Why do you only care about that
b*tch?
‘I can’t even compare to her?’ When he got back to the hospital, Philip ran into Wynn in front of the
hospital room. Wynn glanced at Philip coldly and the latter only smiled at her before moving out of the
way. They looked at each other but did not say anything. Wynn did not tell Philip about the phone call.
She wanted to solve this by herself. Philip did not ask as well. They just stayed in silence and started

Philip drove Wynn back in the evening. Wynn looked exhausted. She said,
“I’ll be staying with my mom for a few days.” “Why are you going there?”
Philip was worried. Wynn did not say anything. She turned her head around and did not pay attention to Philip. Philip was
helpless. It was not that he did not want to tell her. He just did not know how to start the conversation.
Should he tell Wynn his real identity? Could she accept this? Was she ready to become the richest madam in the world? “Wynn,
trust me. There’s nothing between me and Chloe,” Philip said suddenly. However, Wynn did not say anything. Her face was cold,
and her eyes were shut. It was as if she did not want to pay attention to him. When they got to the Old Johnston Manor, the two
got out of the car simultaneously. Philip wanted to help Wynn with her bag but she refused. “Mom, I’ll be staying here for a few
days.” Wynn entered the house and changed her shoes. Then, she went straight into her room and slammed the door. Martha
stood in the living room in confusion. She turned her head, and her face fell. She looked at Philip and asked, “Did you bully her?”
Wynn did not look like she was in the right mind. Plus, she even wanted to stay here for a few days. She must have fought with
Philip. Alright, very good! She had been worried that she would not have a chance to make them file for divorce, but now, here it
was.
