Chapter 170
Wynn was crying from frustration. She stomped her feet and went back to her bedroom. Then, she slammed the door. Martha
was stunned, but she shook her head while feeling pleased with herself. Then, she looked at Charles as if she was showing off.
She stood up with a devilish grin on her face. She happily brought everything back to her room. After that, Martha remembered
that there was something off about Philip. Miss Sommerset gave them so many expensive gifts for no reason. Plus, judging from
Wynn’s reaction, they must be hiding something from her. “Charlie, what do you think is wrong with Philip? Why did Miss
Sommerset send so many expensive things to us?” Martha asked. She was constantly thinking about Miss Sommerset. Why
would a normal friend send them so many expensive things? It seemed that Philip and Miss Sommerset’s relationship was not
that ordinary. Charles was studying his calligraphies. He answered, “You should ask Wynn. She might know.” Martha pressed her
lips together and walked out of her bedroom. Coincidentally, she saw Wynn walking out of her room. She called out, “Wynn,
where are you going? I have something to ask you.” Wynn ignored Martha. She pushed the door and walked away.
“That stupid girl is getting more and more out of hand. She must be getting influenced by that good-for-nothing.” Martha rolled

number, “Philip, is Miss Sommerset your friend?” Philip was in the hospital with Mila. When he heard that, he frowned instantly
and asked, “Mom, did she go to your house?” “No, she just asked someone to send some expensive things over.” Martha did not
tell him what they were. She was scared that he would ask for them back if she told him. Philip was quiet. He forced out a smile
and explained, “Mom, since she gave them to you, you should accept them. She’s a good friend of mine from my hometown. She
came to Riverdale for a vacation.” When Martha heard that, she was pleased. She said excitedly, “Oh, Philip. You should have
told me that you have a lot of rich friends. Right, just tell me what you want to eat next time. Don’t be courteous with me. Also,
invite Miss Sommerset over when she’s free. I have to entertain her properly.”
Martha’s attitude changed all of a sudden. However, Philip was not surprised. She was just a person
who would open her eyes to money and be easily swayed. After talking for a while, Philip hung up the
phone. His expression was solemn as he called Chloe immediately. He said in a low voice, “Chloe
Sommerset, what is the meaning of this?” Chloe was walking out of the parking lot when she got
Philip’s call. There was a pleased smirk on her face. “Nothing. I just gave your mother-in-law a surprise
since she looks down on you so much. How are things? Is she fawning over you right now? She also
asked you to bring me back for dinner, right?” Philip’s eyes went dark. He looked at his daughter who
was sleeping on the bed and walked out of the room. He said, “Chloe, I’m warning you. Don’t interfere
with my business! Where are you?” “Why? You can’t wait to see me, can you? Aren’t you scared that
your wife will be worried?” Chloe sashayed into the restaurant. “You should know how my temper is.
Where are you?”
Philip’s voice turned icy. “Northern Sky Western Restaurant,” Chloe replied before hanging up. Philip
was shocked! Damn Chloe! He was tricked by her. He thought she would not meet Wynn if he agreed
to her request. He did not have time to think. He ran out of the hospital and called a car to Northern Sky
Western Restaurant. He had to stop this meeting. At the same time. After Wynn got dressed, she
arrived at Northern Sky Western Restaurant. This was the most luxurious and expensive restaurant
that served western cuisine in Riverdale. There were only 17 branches in the country. Wynn looked
gorgeous tonight. When she arrived at the restaurant, she caught everyone’s attention. “Hello, I have a

The hostess led Wynn to the top floor where the rotating restaurant was. It was a semi-open space.
She could see the night view of Riverdale while below them was a swimming pool. One would feel
refreshed looking at the blue water in the pool. Chloe had booked this entire floor. Wynn saw Chloe
sitting there sipping on her coffee. There was a moment where Wynn thought that Chloe was a perfect
match for Philip. She did not know why.
Maybe it was because Chloe had the same habit as Philip when he was drinking his coffee. She sat
down. The two of them looked at each other.
Wynn opened her mouth coldly and said, “Miss Sommerset, let’s be frank.”
Wynn was nervous. Her hands were still trembling when she placed them on her knees. It was because Chloe was exerting so
much pressure on her, especially by giving her parents those expensive gifts. She was under an immense amount of stress.
Chloe parted her red lips. She smiled warmly and said, “Miss Johnston, how much do you know about Philip?” Wynn replied
instantly, “Philip is my husband, so of course I know him well.”
Chloe smiled slightly and looked at Wynn. The latter was a porcupine that was covered with spines. She could not wait to pledge
sovereignty. “I am Philip’s fiancée,” Chloe said all of a sudden. Her eyes lacked warmth. She then took a sip of her coffee.
