“Mom, I didn’t. Maybe Wynn’s just exhausted.” Philip explained. However, Martha did not believe him. She looked at him with the
corner of her eyes and her face was as cold as stagnant water. She pointed at Philip’s nose and started shouting, “Do you think I
won’t understand the daughter I gave birth to? Philip, don’t say that I never warned you. A man like you is not a match for my
daughter at all! If you’re smart, you should divorce Wynn as soon as possible. Stop hindering Wynn from marrying into a rich
family!” Philip was helpless when he was faced with Martha’s arrogance and bossiness.
Martha was not the only one who was annoyed. Philip was feeling frustrated as well. After being accused by Martha, Philip’s tone
became slightly awful.
“Alright, I got it. Can you stop nagging? This is between me and Wynn. We will take care of this,” Philip replied coldly. There was
no warmth in his eyes. Martha was shocked by that ominous glint in his eyes. Martha was enraged. How dare he talk to her like
this. Did he want to die? “Philip, how can you talk to me like this? So you don’t even respect your mother-in-law anymore?
Alright, how amazing. Philip Clarke, you’re really something else. Get out of my house now! Out!” Martha started pushing Philip
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtout of the house. The world had turned upside down. A son-in-law was yelling at his mother-in-law! Philip was annoyed. He
swung his hand and pushed Martha aside. Thud! “Ouch!” Martha fell backward and landed on the floor on her bottom. Then, she
slapped her thigh and yelled loudly, “Charlie!
Come out here and look at this! Your darling son-in-law beat me! I can’t stay in this family any longer.”
Philip was mortified. He went over to help Matha up. He said, “Mom, I’m so sorry. It was an accident.”
“What do you mean it was an accident? You did this on purpose!” Martha pointed at Philip
unreasonably and started hurling abuses. The argument outside caught the attention of Charles who
was in the study and Wynn who was in the bedroom. They were annoyed when they came out and saw
the scene before them. Charles went up to Philip and slapped him across the face. He yelled, “Are you
insane? How dare you hit your mother-in-law. I, Charles Johnston, don’t have a son-in-law like you! Get
out of here now!” Wynn ran over hurriedly and helped Martha up. She glared at Philip with anger in her
eyes.
“Get out of my house now! I don’t want to see you!” Philip could not explain himself in front of the wrath
of the three. He looked at Wynn for a long time before turning around to leave. When Wynn saw Philip
turning around, she felt a throb in her heart. She wanted to run up to him and ask for an explanation,
but Martha grabbed her by the arm. “Wynn, is my tailbone broken? Take me to the hospital.” How
would Martha not detect that? Wynn had only asked Philip to leave in a fit of anger. She could not let
her daughter run after him now. The bigger this misunderstanding, the better. Wynn was frantic. One
was her mother while the other was Philip. “Mom, don’t worry.
I’ll send you to the hospital now.” She had no choice. She had to choose her mother. After all, her
mother was in so much pain that she could not even stand straight. If something happened, Philip
could not bear this responsibility. When the three of them were ready to head out, they saw a
handsome man in a suit outside the door. “Hello, is this the house of Martha Yates?” The man grinned.
“Yes, I am Martha Yates.” Martha was holding onto Wynn for support. Her face was contorted from
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmpain. She was so good at pretending. “Hello, Aunty. Miss Sommerset has asked me to send you
these.” That man smiled. Then, seven to eight men in suits started carrying things into the house. They
were all high-end luxurious goods. Gold necklaces, jade bangles, black pearls, and even some
calligraphies for Charles. In addition to that, there were also two boxes of money. There were two
million bucks in total! Aside from those, there was also a Maserati car key. Looking at the gifts that
were being carried into her house, Martha was shocked. Wynn was also stunned. “Um… Child, are
these all for us?”
Martha’s legs were turning into noodles from the shock. She was starting to stammer from excitement. Her eyes never once left
those gifts. Especially the boxes filled with two million bucks. It was cold hard cash! “Yes, Aunty.
These are all from Miss Sommerset.” The man smiled. Martha could not stand still. These were all for her! Wynn’s face fell. She
could guess who was the one who sent all of these. “May I ask who Miss Sommerset is? Do I know her?” Martha was not an
idiot. She grabbed the man’s hands and asked excitedly. The man replied, “Miss Sommerset is Mr. Philip Clarke’s friend.”
