Wynn glared angrily at Chloe who was sitting in front of her.Wynn had not expected Chloe to be so unreasonable.The latter had barged into her office with her bodyguards and asked them to restrain her arms.Another two bodyguards stood outside the office as they blocked the entrance.A lot of employees had gathered outside the door and were now anxiously watching what was happening.Evidently, they had witnessed VP Johnston get slapped six times in the office by the woman.Even the chairman, Derrick, had been stopped at the door, unable to enter the room.It was not that he did not want to go in, but he truly could not afford to offend the woman inside the VP’s office.600 million bucks!She had used 600 million bucks to buy the company in one go!Derrick was now only the temporary chairman of the company, while Chloe was the real boss.Chloe looked at the Patek Philippe watch on Wynn’s wrist that had a crystal embedded in it and said nonchalantly, “Philip should be here in
Suddenly!A roar came from the door!“Stop it!”Philip had arrived at the scene and could see what was happening. His eyes were bulging and it was as if they were going to pop out of their sockets!‘Damn you, Chloe. You’re asking to die!’‘You’re asking to die!’Chloe turned around and saw Philip’s bloodshot eyes. However, she did not stop. Instead, she swung her hand and slapped Wynn across the face. Additionally, Chloe had a smirk on her face.In an instant, Philip was engulfed in rage.Outside the door, the two bodyguards could be seen holding out their hands to block Philip.Nevertheless, Philip kicked both of them and sent them flying.Philip no longer had anything to hide.He did not hold back and instead used the skills he had learned from Reed in the past.“Chloe Sommerset! You’re digging your own grave!”Philip roared as he stood by the door, his hands balled up in fists. Philip had lost all rationality from rage, and his pupils were constricted.Not to mention,
Philip knew what he had done at Beacon Pharmaceutical was overbearing and somewhat cruel.It was only understandable that Wynn had become suspicious of him.Should he tell her his true identity?No.Giada was already in Riverdale, and Philip did not know what that woman was planning.She would not come to Riverdale without a reason. Hence, she had to be planning something.He was restricting himself a lot by agreeing to that woman’s conditions.If Philip did not need to protect the people he loved by adhering to her conditions, he would have turned the world upside down already.“Wynnie, do you really want to know?” Philip asked with a raised brow.Wynn hesitated before nodding shortly after. “I want to know about your past. I have a feeling that you’re not the Philip that I know. Did you used to be the way you were just now?”Philip shook his head and lied as he said, “No no no, not at all.”If Wynn found out about those ridiculous and despotic things he had done in the pas
When Martha got home, she was still in a fit of rage. Hence, she called Philip to come over.She had to vent her anger.Philip finally understood why she was so mad. It must have been because the Yates were aware of the thumb ring’s value.What should he do now?Were they suspicious of his identity?“Mom, what’s going on? What do you mean 100 million?” Philip asked, pretending to be innocent. Martha became even angrier when she saw Philip’s face. She yelled, “You worthless bum! You don’t know anything! Get out! Get out now! I get so angry when I look at you!”“Okay.”His mother-in-law was still mad, so he did not want to stay there anymore either. Hence, Philip turned around to leave.However, before Philip could leave, Martha shrieked bossily out of the blue, “Wait, come back!”“Is there something else, mom?” Philip asked.Martha pondered and asked, “You… Did you really get that thumb ring from an antique market?”Martha still felt suspicious.“Yeah. I bought it at the s
Thirty million bucks?Philip felt helpless.He knew something would happen, but he was not expecting Martha to get herself into such big trouble.“Alright, mom. I’ll be there immediately. Please wait for me.” After Philip said that, he hung up the phone and dashed to the scene.When Philip arrived at the scene, he noticed that they were at a hundred-year-old shop. There was a crowd at the entrance. Some of the people there were waiting in line, trying to sell their old items while some of them were only there for the drama. Nonetheless, their heads could be seen bobbing up and down.There was an argument taking place in the shop, and Philip could hear Martha’s shrieks from outside the place.When Philip entered the shop, he saw Martha accusing the shop owner of bullying his customers. She was talking so fast her saliva was flying all over the place. Additionally, she was accusing the owner of selling fake antiques and scamming people of their money. “I’m not paying! Why should I?
Slap!The shop owner could no longer take it. He looked at his subordinates and then slapped Martha across the face.Immediately, Martha, who had been making threatening gestures and endless pesters, fell silent. Her eyes were filled with rage as she stared at Philip.She did not dare attack the shop owner, so she ran over to Philip and started scratching him shrewishly. She yelled, “How did I get such a useless son-in-law like you? I was slapped and you’re still standing here! You’re just a spineless coward! I’m going to ask Wynn to divorce you!”Philip felt rather helpless, but he did not want to argue about it with her. Hence, he turned around and said to the shop owner, “I’m sorry. We’ll pay for it. Why don’t we talk inside?”The shop owner looked at Russell and nodded. “Alright, you’re quite reasonable, kid.”After that, the few of them went back into the shop.On the other hand, Martha continued to make a scene outside as she hurled extremely nasty comments, “Philip, if yo
Slap!The slap stunned Martha who was arrogant and unreasonable.Martha became as terrified as a dog. She hid behind Philip and held her face with her hand. She said through gritted teeth, “Who… Who are you? Why did you slap me? My son-in-law is here!”What could she do? She could only rely on Philip at such a time.“I heard that Philip’s mother-in-law is famous for being unreasonable and bossy. Now that I’ve met you, I can confirm that your reputation is fully justified.” Chloe snorted.In Martha’s eyes, Chloe was just an ordinary old woman. Thus, she did not need to take any action herself and someone else would handle her.However, when Martha heard Chloe’s words, she became furious. She was indeed unreasonable, but she was proud of that. She was able to enjoy quite a number of benefits because of her attitude.Nonetheless, she did not feel as proud with Chloe saying it straight to her face.“Even if that were the case, you can’t slap someone willy-nilly.”Martha had lost h
When Wynn arrived at the entrance, she did not go in immediately. Instead, she looked at Philip anxiously and said, “Philip, something must be wrong judging by the way mom asked us to come home. If she yells at you or hits you, you… you can fight back.”Wynn was feeling helpless toward her mother’s unreasonableness. Before this, she would close one eye to the abuse Martha inflicted on Philip because she was still contemplating whether she wanted to divorce him or not.However, it was different now. Wynn had started to feel a long lost love between her and Philip.Philip was taken aback. He shook his head and said, “it’s fine. Your mom is my mom. I won’t lose anything from the insults or punches.”Wynn looked at Philip. Her eyes were twinkling under the moonlight.Out of the blue.She tiptoed and kissed Philip on the lips. Then, she backed away quickly.“Stop overthinking. That’s your reward that I’m giving you in advance,” Wynn said while blushing. Shortly after, she made her wa
