Wynn was almost about to start drinking the medicine, and Martha felt anxious and frantic as she watched on.After all, she was her own daughter.‘Wynnie, I am so sorry, but I don’t have a choice. You won’t have a good future with that worthless bum, Philip. Since you won’t abort the child, I’ll be the bad guy then!’Marta said callously in her heart.Still holding the bowl, Wynn was about to drink the medicine. However, just then, her phone rang.Wynn hesitated for a moment before placing the bowl down. Then, she looked at the caller ID and saw that it was from her company.“Mom, I’ll drink it later. I need to take this.”Wynn got up and walked out of the room to answer her phone.Martha was extremely anxious. She yelled, “Hey, Wynnie, drink this before you take the call.”Nevertheless, Wynn had already left.Martha was livid. She was so close.The next moment, Wynn came back. However, she merely grabbed her bag in a rush and kissed Mila before heading out once more.“Hey,
Naturally, their argument attracted the attention of many patients in the hospital and visiting families. They all gathered around to watch what was going on.Everyone could be seen pointing fingers and discussing loudly.“Oh, that must be the child’s grandmother. How devious!”“My heart is in pieces. How could that woman scold the child like that? I heard what she said just now. It was horrible!”“I recall the little girl’s parents to be nice people who are very friendly. How is it possible that they have such an evil mother?”Instantly, Martha felt as if she had been insulted.She was furious because everyone was pointing fingers and faulting her. Consequently, Martha walked up to the nurse and slapped her across the face. She yelled, “Who do you think you are? Are you even qualified to meddle in our family affairs? You’re just a nurse who my daughter and son-in-law hired. Don’t start feeling too proud of yourself, and don’t meddle in other people’s business. If not, I’ll slap
Anne was nervous. Hence, she said while she was being dragged by Philip, “Mr. Philip, it’s okay. I’m fine. She’s your mother-in-law after all. If you guys fight because of me, I’ll feel bad.”Despite feeling aggrieved, Anne knew her place.Martha was Mr. Philip’s mother-in-law after all. If they fought because of her, she would feel bad.She was just a child from a poor family. Her parents had told her that she had to endure every hardship thrown to her, and she could not fight with other people.Not to mention, Mr. Philip had always been good to her. She could not bear cause him any trouble.“It’s fine. Just listen to me. Even though she’s my mother-in-law, she can’t be allowed to be so unreasonable.”Philip comforted Anne. Even though he had managed to endure Martha for the past three years because of Wynn, he could not let the current matter go just like that.Martha had involved other people in her unreasonableness. How could Philip just let her be like that, showing her tem
Philip threw Martha’s hand aside and said coldly, “You’re indeed the one at fault this time. Anne is the nurse I hired, and you hit her for no reason. There’s no question that you have to take responsibility! It’s fine if you don’t want to. You can leave now. I’ll call the cops and let them handle this.”When Martha heard Philip say that he would call the cops, she was terrified.“You… You’re going to be the end of me! You spineless coward, how dare you threaten me!”Martha pointed at Philip angrily. She thought that a useless bum like him would not dare do anything. She had not expected him to be so unyielding.If he called the cops, she would be at a loss too.Apologize?Impossible!Martha started to throw a tantrum as she screeched unreasonably, “Why should I apologize? Why don’t you ask her why she got hit? I’m going to kill that little b*tch!”“Tell me then.”Philip looked at Martha coldly. He was ready to listen to her made-up stories.“She… She disrespected me in the h
Slap!The sound of a slap reverberated across the entire corridor!Philip swung his hand down and forcefully slapped Martha across the face!The mistreatment and grievance he had endured throughout the past three years were all compressed into this one slap. It was enough to send Martha flying to the floor!“Ah!”Martha shrieked loudly as she clutched her face. She looked at Philip in disbelief and yelled in anger, “Y-Y-You! How dare you slap me? Philip Clarke, you’re insane! How dare a piece of trash like you slap me! I am your mother-in-law!”Martha was going to explode from anger!How dare a spineless good-for-nothing hit her?He was rebelling against her!Did Philip want to die?Did he want to get out of her family?Martha was gritting her teeth in anger. Additionally, her face was in excruciating pain after being slapped. Martha got up from the floor and pointed at Philip before she started yelling and shoving him furiously, “Philip! I want my daughter to divorce you! I
No, she could not allow it. Anne knew Mr. Philip was not from a wealthy family.Additionally, from what she had observed that day, he did not have a high status in his family.She could not accept the money.Nevertheless, Philip stopped her. He chuckled and said, “Why are you being so courteous with me? If you don’t accept the money, I’ll fire you.”Fire her?Anne was shocked. She could not lose her job. Pressing her lips together, Anne bit them and bowed as she thanked Philip repeatedly, “Thank you, Mr. Philip.”Philip did not say anything.In the evening, Philip went out looking for Anne and found her in the garden on a phone call. The latter was crying.“What’s wrong, Anne?” Philip walked over to her and asked in concern.Anne hung up the phone and wiped away her tears. She said, “I’m fine.”Philip knew that the young woman was very stubborn. After all, she refused to tell him anything. Hence, Philip sat down and glanced at her phone. On her lock screen, he saw a cute, lit
Martha was roughly being pushed into a cafe.She was enraged. She pointed at the mountainous men in black at the entrance and yelled, “Who are you people? Let me out now! If not, I’ll call the cops! This is kidnapping, and it’s illegal!”Martha felt extremely guilty, and her hands were shaking uncontrollably. Nevertheless, she knew she could not show any signs of weakness. She had to be strong.On the other hand, the two men in black who were blocking the door pretended to not hear her as they stood still in silence.They did not budge no matter how much Martha pushed them.Martha began to panic. She did not know where she was nor who they were. Where was she?At this moment, a graceful and sumptuous woman walked into the cafe. There were seven to eight bodyguards behind her. One could instantly tell that she was someone powerful after seeing this.Additionally, her presence caused the temperature of the cafe to fall by a few degrees. It became terrifyingly cold.Martha felt as
When Charles returned and saw Martha, he was horrified. “Honey, what happened? Who beat you up?”Charles helped Martha into the house. He was heartbroken after seeing the state she was in.Thus, Charles immediately busied himself with fetching Martha ice packs and rolling hard-boiled eggs on her bruises.Martha was fuming as she sat on the sofa. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.She did not even know any Giada Wallis. Why had the latter beaten her up?“What happened? Who made your face like this?”Charles was heartbroken. After all, this was the wife he had shared the same bed with for the past 20 years.“Who else? It was your wonderful son-in-law, Philip! Why? Do you dare call him here and teach him a lesson?”Martha was seething. She was now talking without thinking. At the end of the day, she despised Philip after what had happened. When Charles heard that, he exploded from anger. He had changed his outlook on Philip. However, he was not expecting that
