The living room plunged into silence.Joel was the first to burst out laughing. He shook his head helplessly. He was looking down on Wynn’s husband even more now.How hilarious!This good-for-nothing had bought a company for ten million bucks?If that was the case, with Aunt Martha’s snobby attitude and feisty temper, she would be treating him like he was her own son!Martha was taken aback. Her face fell immediately. She picked up a book on the table and threw it at him. She pointed at the door and yelled, “Get out! You shameful thing! You never do anything properly and only know how to lie! Aren’t you ashamed of yourself? I feel ashamed for you even if you’re not.”Philip did not want to explain anymore. His mother-in-law would never believe him.Martha pulled Joel out the door and insisted he took Philip to the interview.With no choice, the four of them sat in Joel’s Porsche and drove to Hodgson Pharmaceutical.“Joel, your car must be pretty expensive, right?”Martha got
This young man in the photo was the one who caused the bankruptcy of Hutten Pharmaceutical Factory and the downfall of the Logans.When Vernon found out about the truth, he was beyond shocked!He must get to know this powerful person.If he could destroy one pharmaceutical factory, he could destroy another.Vernon was scared of his future.“Where is he?”“I think Mr. Harris brought them to the human resources department.”“Hurry, come with me!” Vernon knew the importance of this.The two of them ran to the human resources department.Back in the office of the HR manager.“Boris, help me out. This is my Aunt Martha’s son-in-law. He wants to see if there are any vacancies in our company. Please arrange something for him.”Joel sat on the sofa with a cup of tea. A man with a pointy face and puffed cheeks was standing in front of him respectfully.He was the manager of the human resources department, Boris Bauer.Boris respected Joel a lot. The company spent a lot of money to
Vernon glared at Boris the moment he entered the room. The latter was scared as a sinner in church. He did not even dare to breathe too loudly.“Sir, is there anything I can help you with? You can just tell me. You didn’t have to come here on your own.”Boris had a smile on his face as he bowed even lower.“Why? Do I have to report my every move to you?”Vernon’s face was dark as he looked at Boris.“Ah, no, no. You’ve misunderstood me, Sir. I mean…”Boris was so scared that he wanted to kneel on the ground. What was wrong with the chairman today? He was so angry!“Stop talking nonsense! I’m asking how did you treat this man over here? Did you offer this man a job as a watchdog?”Vernon interrogated Boris sternly. Was this guy dumb?How dare he ask a young master from a prestigious family to become a watchdog for their company?Was he asking for death?He would not be able to compensate Philip even if he owned a few Hodgson Pharmaceuticals.As he was yelling, Vernon looked
“Hello Mr. Clarke, this is my name card. I’ve heard some things about Hutten Pharmaceutical.”Vernon said frankly. He did not plan to hide.When Philip heard that, he finally understood. He nodded and asked, “What do you want from me?”Vernon almost screamed out in excitement. He said, “You’re misunderstanding me, Mr. Clarke. I just want to get to know you.”Philip smiled and said, “Alright, I’ll take your name card. I’ll look for you when I need anything. Of course, you can look for me too if anything arises. You’re not too bad.”When he heard Philip praising him, Vernon felt like he had just eaten a spoonful of honey. He nodded his head and bowed.After a while, the group of them left Hodgson Tower.After they got out, Wynn grabbed Philip and asked curiously, “Do you know the chairman of Hodgson?”Philip shook his head. “No,” he said.Wynn wanted to ask something else, but Martha started to urge them impatiently. “What are you doing? Get into the car.”Wynn stopped asking a
George quickly replied, “Alright, Young Master. I’ll take care of this matter now.”After he said that, he hung up. George then started to busy himself with contacting people.However, after ten minutes, Philip still did not receive George’s phone call. He started to complain in his heart.George was never this slow before.When he was about to call him and ask about this, George beat him to it. His tone sounded helpless as he said, “Young Master, I can’t purchase Beacon Pharmaceutical.”Philip was shocked. He frowned and scolded, “What happened? Can’t you take down Beacon?”“Young Master, Beacon changed their chairperson half a month ago. Now, it belongs to Miss Chloe Sommerset.”George said. His tone sounded anxious.He really could not handle his young master’s debt in love.“Chloe? Why did she buy Beacon?”Philip was shocked. His eyebrows were knitted together tightly. Then, he understood.Was Chloe the culprit behind Beacon’s troubles?Was it because of Wynn?“Alright
Gentleman Tea Shop.Philip arrived early. He waited for about 20 minutes before a stylish woman walked in through the door.When Chloe saw Philip, her heart started racing. However, she forced herself to remain calm. She sashayed into the shop and approached Philip slowly. She sat down quietly and removed her sunglasses. Then, she looked at him calmly.“Have you waited long?” Chloe asked. Her voice was calm.“Not too long,” Philip replied. He looked at Chloe and saw that she was still as refined as ever.Even though Chloe looked calm on the surface, her heart was beating extremely fast. Her delicate hands under the table were grasping on her skirt tightly.She had not sat in front of Philip like this for a very long time.He was still so charming. An air of arrogance was coursing through his body.Other people could not detect this air around him, but Chloe could.They used to be the golden couple that everyone was jealous of. However, that was old news.“Tell me, how will yo
Wynn was shocked. She asked curiously, “You know?”Philip chuckled and said, “Yeah, I did it. I bought your company. You’re the chairwoman now, are you happy?”When Wynn heard this, she was taken aback. Then, she lifted her perfectly plucked eyebrows and said in a flirty tone, “Alright, thank you.”Wynn knew Philip liked to joke around. Her company was in a crisis and they needed 600 million in funds. How could Philip have helped her willy-nilly?“Never mind, I’m going back to work now. Did you visit Mila today?” Wynn asked.“Yeah, I’m on my way,” replied Philip. He was already in the hospital.He knew Wynn did not believe him.Whatever, then. He had more time to explain to her next time.Wynn grunted a reply and hung up after saying something.She sat in the chairperson’s office. She thought for a long while, but she still could not make sense of this.Was it really Philip?At this moment, she got a phone call from Joel. He said with a warm smile, “Wynnie, how’s your compan
’Is that Wynn Johnston? The previous beauty queen of the school has become such a golddigger.’‘Hehe, she has the appearance of an angel but a filthy heart. You’re calling her a beauty queen? How disgusting!’‘Yeah, women like Wynn will only lie to you all. She did a lot of disgusting things when she was in school. She loved stealing her best friend’s boyfriend. I think she has her eyes on a rich man now.’‘Poor Philip. Not only is he a spineless coward, but he’s being cuckolded now.’The mood of the group chat changed instantly. They were starting to criticize and denounce Wynn. They dug out all kinds of dark history and rumors about her.They were all made up by the women who were jealous of Wynn.At the same time, Philip gave Wynn a call. “Where are you?”Wynn and Joel had just arrived at Lover's Themed Restaurant. She purposely lowered her voice and said, “I’m in the office. I’m a bit busy. I’ll tell you everything when I get home.”After she said this, Wynn hung up the pho
