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

After he hung up, Philip felt anxious, so he called Wynn.“Wynnie, what are you doing?” Philip asked.Wynn replied, “I’m in the office. There are a lot of annoying things going on. Turner's Hospital did not sign the contract with us.”Wynn was in her office facing a huge stack of documents. She was extremely irritated.The contract was not signed because Chloe had barged in and made a scene during the meeting.In the end, Derrick contacted another party. Nevertheless, Derrick told the employees not to worry as the company would reconsider their contract again.Hence, the heavy burden fell onto Wynn’s shoulder in an instant.She was the VP after all, and Derrick had assigned the task to her. Thus, she had to be successful in securing a collaboration with Turner’s hospital branch in Riverdale.What Wynn did not know was that Chloe was the one messing things up secretly.At the moment, Beacon Pharmaceutical’s boss was Chloe. The reason the collaboration was unsuccessful was that

At the same time, Derrick’s phone rang. He looked at the number and ran to one side politely before answering it. “M-Miss Sommerset, how can I help you?”“Did Wynn Johnston manage to secure the contract with Turner’s branch?” A cold voice asked.“Yes, Miss Sommerset. Director Stanley from Turner came here personally and signed it just now.” The back of Derrick’s head was drenched in sweat; his legs were trembling from fear.Chloe Sommerset was very difficult to deal with.As of now, Derrick was the only one who knew that Chloe was the new boss of the company.He could guess that everything Chloe did was related to Wynn.It could even be related to Philip.“Got it.”Slam!She hung up the phone.Derrick started to panic. He did not know what she was thinking.He calmed himself down before returning to the office. At that time, everyone was still discussing what to eat in Arc de Triumph that night.Then, Wynn received a phone call. It was from Eric.“Hello, Wynn. Where are yo
