Chapter 405
Philip turned around, glanced at everyone, and said, “Is there a problem?”
Everyone was struck dumb at that question. Martha’s expression was very ugly. Where did this useless Philip find the money to
buy First Palace? It was not a lie, right? “Sister-in-law Martha, what exactly is going on here?
This villa is worth 200 million? How did you get so much money?” Gina was very anxious. This luxurious villa was many times
bigger than the ones they passed by just now. It was really like a palace. Did Martha not claim that they could not afford a villa?
What was the situation now? A bluff?
“Calm down, we haven’t gone in yet. Who knows what Philip is up to? If we can’t go in later, we’ll just
wait for him to embarrass himself.” Paula was most upset. She was initially here to taunt Philip today,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbut now, she simply could not accept the scene before her. She looked back at her son-in-law with a
questioning look in her eyes, seemingly to ask if he could afford to buy this place. Frank shook his head
helplessly and said with a smile, “Mom, I really can’t afford this place. Maybe Philip really bought it?”
Fundamentally, there was nothing wrong with Frank’s words, which meant these people should not
underestimate Philip. When it fell into everyone’s ears though, it became a rhetorical question and a
mockery. “Yes, how can a wimp like him afford to buy a place like this?” “Aren’t we just at the gates?
Whether we can get in or not is another matter.” Gina and Amelia chattered among themselves, their
expressions full of disdain. On the other side, Martin and Bernard stared at First Palace excitedly yet
dubiously too. This place was simply too luxurious. It would be great if they could live here!
Liam and Lynn had already taken their phones out and were snapping pictures. No matter what, they
could brag for a long time with these pictures.
Martha’s expression was very unpleasant. She walked out, dragged Philip aside, and said, “I’m warning
you, don’t embarrass me! It’s still not too late to tell me the truth. If we can’t go in later, you’re the one
who’ll be ashamed!” Was Philip going to continue with this pretense? Philip smiled faintly and said,
“You’ll find out if it’s true once we enter.” Wynn also said,
“Mom, why can’t you just believe us?” After that, Wynn just pulled Philip away and walked toward the door. The four Longford
security guards immediately opened the door and greeted respectfully, “Mr. Clarke, Miss Johnston, welcome back.” Everyone
was completely dumbfounded by that greeting! Moreover, looking at the way Philip and Wynn were walking through the main
door, it really seemed as if they were returning to their own home. They could not accept it! This, how could this be? The faces of
Paula, Gina, and the rest were really bitter. This was simply beyond their imagination. Martha was agitated, but she was also
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmfeeling guilty. At the same time, there was also a feeling of elation within her. She felt as if her nose had been lifted all the way
into the sky, and the proud arrogance of an ordinary person getting a sudden windfall was aptly displayed by her. She did not
care whether this villa was bought by Philip or not. She quickly ran in and exclaimed loudly at everything. “Hey, come in and see
my new home!” Martha turned her head and shouted at the people outside, her face full of pride and obvious swagger. When she
saw the bitter expressions and helpless smiles on her relatives’ faces, Martha felt gratified! She did not expect First Palace to be
her home! Paula and the others were very uneasy and hesitated at the doors for a long while before they stepped in. Although
they were unwilling, they could not resist the temptation of this luxurious villa. Once they entered, all of them were very excited!
This place was so lavish, exactly like how a palace should be. All of them were ordinary citizens who had never seen such
luxurious houses. They all resembled Alice exploring Wonderland, exclaiming loudly over the littlest things.
They were completely stunned upon stepping foot into the villa. This was the same as the villas of the rich and powerful families
on TV, so extravagant and high-class! The chandelier was custom made by Swarovski!
The sofa was also customized from Crown! There was also a spiraling staircase that led directly to the second floor! The villa
exuded a sense of extreme wealth!
