Martha’s words silenced the jubilant voices on the scene. The welcoming crowd stared at Martha in amazement at this moment. This middle-aged woman looked like an ordinary housewife at a glance, and she was also dressed in ordinary clothes. How dare she say such flippant and chastising words to Fifth Madam? Oh no! Something was about to happen! Sure enough, the gentle and elegant woman with a loving smile on her face suddenly froze. A cold light flashed from the corner of her eyes. She squeezed out a smile and asked, “What did you just say?” When Philip saw this smile, he knew it was over. His fifth mother was definitely the mildest-looking but the most irritable person on the island! Even his father had to back down somewhat when his fifth mother got angry. At this moment, seeing the indifferent smile at the corner of Fifth Mother’s mouth, Philip knew that Martha’s good days had come to an end. However, Martha was oblivious and glanced suspiciously at the people aro
Hearing Philip’s words, Nadia asked worriedly, “Do you really want to do this? Phil, listen to my advice. You just came back and can’t be independent yet. There are many things on the island that you don't understand. The influence of the branch family is deeply entrenched on this island. If you go head-on against the chieftain like this, you’ll get into trouble.” Philip smiled and said, “Fifth Mother, don’t worry. I have my plans.” After saying that, he turned around and returned to Wynn’s side. Nadia stood there and watched as Philip chatted with Wynn. She shook her head helplessly and smiled. This child was still the same as before, and also the same as his father—unwilling to talk to others whenever they did anything. “Fifth Madam, should I secretly arrange for someone to spy on the movement of the branch family?” A personal guard beside Nadia asked with a serious and rigid face at this moment. Nadia thought about it and nodded while saying, “Fine, go and sniff out th
This was just the edge of the estate but there were already many villas, golf courses, leisure clubs, open-air swimming pools, zoos, and so on. There were even buildings that looked like palaces—magnificent and beautiful. Expensive trees and flowers from various countries could also be seen. There were world-class florists pruning and tending to them. Many servants and butlers in black and white uniforms also walked around. They would respectfully stop and bow when they saw the convoy. At this sight, Martha looked like she had never seen the world before. She grinned broadly from ear to ear, her eyes wide open. She was excited beyond belief. She chattered incessantly the entire way. “Charles, look at this.” “Charles, look over there.” “Wow, and that!” “Is this my son-in-law's house? This is simply a palace! It’s too luxurious! This is what a wealthy family is like. My goodness, what blessing I have in this life to have such a son-in-law.” Martha was so excited that
At this moment, everyone got out of the cars and was stunned by the sight of the vast manor in front of them! For more than ten minutes, they could not recover their senses as if they had arrived in a fairyland. They saw a whole row of classic castle buildings with five or six floors, all grand and majestic. It was just like the Palace of Versailles, with drawings of the gods ascending to the sky. It seemed to carry traces of myths and history of various countries. A huge golden-bronze gate stood in the center of this classic castle building carved with world maps and various mythological characters. Everything looked like a treasure of humankind. Martha was already shocked by the scene before her eyes and could not stand still anymore. When she got out of the car, she realized how luxurious and big this place was. It was really very big, too big for her to imagine or understand. In the world, there was actually such a large manor and such a luxurious interior! At thi
Martha was dumbfounded at Philip’s words Lucky? Why did it sound like a dog’s name? Philip was not going to let her sleep in the doghouse, right? For a moment, Martha panicked. She quickly grabbed Philip’s arm and said with a smile, “Son-in-law, don't be ridiculous. I’m your mother-in-law, after all. And I’m Wynn’s mother. How can you bear to let me stay in a doghouse? It doesn’t sound good if word of this spreads out.” Martha laughed and the wrinkles on her face squeezed together, looking very ugly. Hehe. Philip turned his head, pulled his arm away from Martha’s grip, and said coldly, “Do you think I'm joking with you? Do you think I brought you back to enjoy life?” Thump! Martha panicked and stammered, “Isn’t that so?” Philip shook his head, a cold smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. He said to the servant, “Take her away.” Hearing that, the servant motioned to two bodyguards in black suits who dragged Martha away. This caused Martha to panic. She stru
Martha looked over. The four dogs had their tongues out, looking ferocious. They all stared fixedly at her! Woof, woof! With a series of barks, the four pit bulls wanted to rush over to bite Martha. She was so scared that she struggled and cried as she tried to run. Fat Aunt pulled the leashes in her hand and ordered, “Lucky, sit down!” The four pit bulls sat down in unison. Martha was about to kneel in fright. Her face was full of tears as she wailed, “I don't want to live here. I’m scared of dogs. Save me.” However, her screaming was to no avail. Fat Aunt looked at Martha and said with a smile, “I get it. I’ll make arrangements for this person.” The maid nodded with a smile before she turned and left. Soon, only Fat Aunt and Martha remained, as well as four pit bulls that kept sticking their tongues out and staring at Martha. Martha stood remained in the same spot, trembling all over. She did not dare to move. She was extremely flustered. These four dogs looked
Philip sat in the yacht and approached the small island’s port. At this moment, more than a dozen fully-armed Clarke family’s guards were standing guard there. Philip got off the yacht and just stepped ashore when he was greeted with a bear hug by a stout, dark-skinned man with a smile on his face. “Welcome back.” The man, about 30 years old, grinned with a mouthful of white teeth. Philip smiled and hugged him for a while before letting go. He said, “Buck, it’s been a while.” Buck Jolly patted Philip on the shoulder with a face full of smiles. He reached out to hammer the other party’s chest and said, “Good on you. You’ve been gone for more than seven years and your body is still in good shape with no signs of falling behind. In a moment, I want to see if you’ve forgotten what I taught you.” Philip smiled as he followed the man forward and said, “Okay.” Buck Jolly was the captain of the Clarke family’s sixth guard squad. He could also be considered as Philip’s master befo
Just like that, Philip stood in front of the tombstone for two hours. Finally, he smiled, looked up at the blue sky, took a deep breath, and said, “Mom, I’m leaving now. I’ll come and see you again next time.” With that said, Philip put on his sunglasses and turned around. The moment he turned around, there seemed to be a gentle breeze across Philip’s cheek. It was like a mother's gentle embrace. There seemed to be a whisper in his ear. “Phil, I love you.” With a smile, Philip walked down the stone steps of the mausoleum slowly. At the main entrance of the mausoleum, more than a dozen guards in military attire stood silently as they watched Philip walk down. Even Buck Jolly from earlier dared not be the first to break the silence at this time. Philip smiled and said to Buck, “Buck, let’s go and have a spar.” Upon hearing this, Buck immediately smiled and said, “Okay, let’s go.” There was an empty space at a nearby training field. Buck had taken off his military un
