Chapter 348
Wynn was horrified when she saw what had happened in the house. She ran in and helped Martha up before exclaiming, “Mom,
what happened? I’m going to take you to the hospital.” When Martha saw that Wynn had arrived, she was relieved. She started
throwing a tantrum as she yelled, “Why should I go to the hospital? Just let me die here! Look who attacked me! It’s Philip!”
When Wynn heard that, she turned around and looked at Philip in anger and disbelief. She asked, “Philip, what did you do?
She’s my mother!” Philip knew that such a thing was going to happen. As long as Martha was there, things would settle down so
easily. He said coldly, “Yes, she’s your mother.
However, ask her what immoral things she has done.” “Y-You’re spewing nonsense! What did I do? It was just a stupid bangle!
Did you have to go as far as to hit me? You even hit me until I became like this. I am your mother-in-law! You’ll be struck by
lightning and thunder! I don’t care! Wynn, you have to divorce him today! If you don’t, I’ll run my head into the wall and die here!”
Martha was throwing a tantrum and had begun being unreasonable and irrational. She would not stop until she had released her
anger. Wynn did not know what was going on. She wanted to help Martha to stop the bleeding, but the latter refused and yelled,
“Don’t touch me. Let the neighbors see! Let them see how amazing our son-in-law is! He even dares to hit his mother-in-law. I
want to see if he dares go out in public.”
Wynn knew her mother’s temper. Hence, she got up and pulled Philip to one side. She asked coldly, “Philip, what happened?
Why did you hit mom until she has become like this?” Philip took out the bangle and replied in an icy tone, “Your mother stole this
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfrom us, and she wanted to sell it.” Philip lowered her head to look at the bangle in Philip’s hand. She knew about it.
Philip had told her that it belonged to his mother and thus treated it like a piece of treasure. However, it
would still be too far-fetched to hit someone just because of a bangle. Philip noticed the confusion on
Wynn’s face. Thus, after being quiet for a long while, he said, “It’s my mother’s remnant.”
Clank! Wynn’s heart trembled. If it was Philip’s mother’s remnant, it would mean that her mother-in-law
had already passed away… In an instant, Wynn understood why Philip was so angry. Her mother had
done something extremely stupid this time. This time, she would support her husband unconditionally.
Hence, after turning around, Wynn looked at Martha who was still sitting on the floor and said in
annoyance, “Mom, you crossed the line. Do you know what that bangle means to Philip?” Wynn was
aware of Martha’s personality and wondered how the latter was a lecturer in a university. How did she
educate her students? “Mom, the bangle is Philip’s mother’s remnant. It’s something that belongs to my
mother-in-law. You stole it and even wanted to sell it? You went overboard!” Wynn said coldly.
This was the first time she truly felt helpless and disappointed in her mother.
She was now in a state of despair as well. When Martha heard Wynn’s words, she was shocked.
Philip’s mother’s remnant? Her in-law was dead?
Damn it! “What? A dead person’s thing? What bad luck! I’ll go burn some incense and pray to Buddha
to get rid of the bad luck tomorrow!” Martha jumped up immediately. Her entire body felt so
uncomfortable it was as if she had thorns all over it. At that time, Philip had already calmed down.
However, when Martha gave her remarks, he exploded in anger once more.
“Say that again!” How could Martha say something so brainless? At that moment, Martha was horrified
by Philip’s aura. She was scared that he would punch him again and muttered some curses to herself.
On the other hand, Wynn was troubled. She pulled Philip to leave and then turned around to glare at
Martha. She said, “Mom, don’t do such a thing again. I feel so ashamed for you.” Ashamed? Martha
became enraged when she heard this.
She pointed at Wynn and yelled, “Well, well, well, you’ve grown and have wings now. You’re taking an outsider’s side instead of
your own mother’s, huh? Get out! Get out with that piece of trash! I don't have a heartless daughter like you!” Wynn was startled.
She looked at Philip who was standing next to her and then said after a while, “Alright. I’ll never come back to this home ever
again!” With that, their relationship crumbled. Wynn decided that Philip was her everything, and her mother was indeed at fault
for what had happened that day. If they had to severe their relationship, then so be it! Martha was so angry that she started
smashing things. She pointed at Philip and yelled unreasonably, “You! You useless bum! Don’t come back ever again! You’re not
my son-in-law. Get out! Both of you, get out!”
Martha was beyond livid! Her daughter had totally changed! It was all because of that useless, good-for-nothing man! Philip
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmturned around and looked at Martha who was flipping out. He said, “To be honest, I couldn’t care less whether I’m your son-in-law
or not. You took our certificate of property ownership, so just treat it as a gift from me to you. I don’t want that house anymore.
Wynn and I will move into the new house in a few days. I hope you beg to move in with us when that happens.” Upon hearing
Philip’s words, Martha scoffed. “You’re just a worthless bum, and you’re telling me you can afford a big house? Go sleep on the
streets!” Philip shook his head and his eyes turned cold. He continued, “Martha, I’m warning you again. If you dare bully Mila
again, don’t blame me if I don’t go easy on you.” Having said that, Philip and Wynn left the old Johnston Manor. In the end,
Martha was the only one left in the house. She was so angry that her liver began to hurt. Consequently, she did not think twice
before smashing everything in the house. The boss of the jade shop had already run away by then. “Alright, you’re all thankless
wretches!” Martha was livid. Her hair was a mess as she ran into the kitchen. Looking at the medicine that she had finished
brewing, Martha felt a malicious thought surface in her heart. She had to be siding with him just because she was pregnant. The
next day, she would watch Wynn drink the medicine with her very own two eyes. She would force her to drink it if she had to! ‘I
can’t let my daughter stay with that piece of trash! ‘She has to marry into a rich family!’ The following day, Martha called Wynn
and told her to come home. She said that there was something urgent. Wynn was still mad about what had happened the night
before. However, her mother had humbled and lowered herself on the phone and said she needed to find an opportunity to
apologize to Philip. Wynn was kind-hearted, so she believed in her mother’s intentions. Thus, she went back to the old Johnston
Manor that afternoon. “Mom, why did you call me to come back?” Wynn entered the house without removing her shoes.
Martha took out the medicine from the kitchen and smiled. She said,
“Wynnie, this is the medicine I made for you and your baby. You didn’t drink it last time, so you have to drink it this time no matter
what. Don’t waste my effort and good intentions.”
