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
Eric had not expected Wynn’s sudden slap.The man with braids was stunned. After coming back to his senses, he yelled, “F*ck! You b*tch! How dare you hit me! Do you want to die?”Braids was furious! He had never been slapped by a woman in public before.Slap!He lifted his hand and returned Wynn a slap.The slap landed on Wynn’s face. Consequently, her right cheek instantly became swollen and started to turn red.“B*tch! How dare you slap my f*cking face!”Braids was fuming. He glared at Wynn angrily and then grabbed her arm.“Let go of me! If not, I’ll call the cops!”Wynn struggled and screamed. However, it was to no avail.The seven to eight people around her were all Eric’s friends. However, at the moment, they were just spectators. They only watched on coldly as the scene unfolded.They were well aware that Eric wanted to teach that woman a lesson.“Scream more! Struggle more! You little b*tch, slap me again, I dare you! If I don’t teach you a lesson today, I’ll just s
Eric had gotten the pill overseas. No woman could stay conscious under its effects.Inside the car, four men stared at Wynn who had just started to feel the effects of the pill. She looked very alluring as she bit her lip and pressed down on her skirt.The car sped to a hotel.The few of them got out of the car and carried Wynn into a room.At the same time, Philip had been trying to call Wynn frantically. However, no one ever answered her phone. In the end, her phone was switched off.Oh no, something terrible must have happened!That was Philip’s first instinct.Hence, he called Mindy immediately. “Mindy, where did Wynn do? Why isn’t she picking up her phone?”Mindy was in the office discussing what to eat with her colleagues. She replied, “VP Johnston left 20 minutes ago. I think she went to the plaza. Oh right, she went to pick up her cousin, Eric.”Eric?Philip was beginning to feel more and more anxious. He hung up the phone and called Theo. “Tell me where Eric Yates is
Philip was triggered by what he saw. His eyes went red and he was livid!Wynn’s hands were being tied to the frame of the bed, and she was moaning in discomfort. Additionally, there was a faint handprint on her cheek, and there was blood on the corner of her lips.Philip was fuming. He ran over and kicked Braids in the stomach with all his might.Bam!Braids flew backward after being kicked by Philip, and the former crashed into the nightstand. It has to be said that Braids’ head was the one that hit the nightstand. Consequently, his head started bleeding, and he howled in pain.The other three men were shocked upon seeing Philip’s arrival. However, they quickly came back to their senses and took out bats and knives from under the bed.They had planned for him to come!It was a trap. A trap for Philip to fall into!Wynn was tied to the bed; she had bit her lip until it had started bleeding. Her eyes were filled with tears as she tried her best to stay conscious. Wynn watched as
