Hudson smiled and did not say anything.The two of them parted ways, and Wynn went back to the villa. Her brain was occupied by what Hudson said just now.‘The person I keep seeing? I know him?’Philip flashed across Wynn’s mind. Could it be him?A lot of things had happened lately. When Wynn tried to connect the dots, she felt like she did not understand Philip at all.Who was her husband? What was he hiding?When she thought about that, she opened her bag and took out the bank card Philip gave her.She decided to check the bank balance tomorrow.One more thing.Wynn rummaged through her drawers and found the gold card that was imprinted with the word ‘Wallis’. It was given to her by Giada.Giada had told her that as long as she took this card to any shop with the Wallises’ name, she could find Giada.Wynn felt conflicted. It was not that she did not trust Philip, but too many things had been happening recently. She needed to verify this.Especially what Hudson had said to
When Wynn heard this, she felt uneasy. She asked, “Mom, how can you think of Philip like this? Don’t you know what kind of person Philip is?”“What kind of person is he?”Martha rolled her eyes sarcastically and said earnestly, “Wynnie, you won’t go wrong if you trust me. I went through this before. Philip is definitely a playboy. You have to prepare yourself. Let’s not talk about other things. We’ll just talk about this villa. We have to get our hands on this villa. That way, the three years you’re married to him won’t be a waste. You gave him a child and you have another one coming. If he decides to be unfaithful in the future and divorce you, what will you do?”“Mom, please leave. Can you stop spewing nonsense?”Wynn was extremely annoyed. Her mother really had the guts to say anything.After she said that, she took her clothes to the toilet.Martha was fuming. She sat in the bedroom and poured the milk into the rubbish bin. She scolded Wynn. “You thankless wench, you don’t un
After the unadorned and heavy door was pushed open, Philip turned around and saw a figure.The man had a red and golden cane with a dragon’s head. He was over 70 years old and was slightly hunchbacked. His eyes were squinted, and there was a slight smile on his face.He stood at the door like a mountain. Everyone in the hall did not dare to breathe in his presence.Even if he had restrained his temperament quite well, the reputation and talent in his bones were able to make Philip frown.Jack Wallis.The current person in charge of the Wallis family. Giada’s father.This person was extremely conceited and arrogant.He spent 40 years making the Wallises into the biggest family. They were just below the Clarkes.This person was also super ambitious.Behind Jack was a middle-aged man who looked about 40 to 50 years old. His hair was grey, and he was wearing a pair of black glasses. He held a briefcase in his hand and had a black suit on with a tie. He kept nodding his head, but i
Tim sat on the sofa and threw his head back in laughter. “Giada, you Wallises are always so impatient. How can you achieve something big in the future?”Philip sat at one side the entire time and did not utter a word.He knew his Uncle Tim was the one standing up for him now.Giada’s face fell, and the corner of her lips twitched. She wanted so badly to kill Tim now. That way, the Clarkes would have one less person in charge.However, she did not dare to.She had restraining fear about the power in Tim’s hands.Of course, Tim also had restraining fear about Giada’s power after so many years.The two of them fought openly and maneuvered covertly for so many years. Other than that, they would also restrict each other.“Alright, we’re all family.”Jack finally opened his mouth. He sat at the main sofa with both of his hands resting on his dragon head cane. He looked at Philip and asked with sudden interest, “This must be Roger’s son, Philip. He’s outstanding indeed. He looks very
“Wynn, why did you come looking for me so suddenly?”At the same time, Giada walked into the guest hall with a gentle smile on her face. She stood in front of Wynn and obstructed her view.Giada looked like another woman compared to when she was in the hall.Wynn saw the two figures vaguely before they disappeared into the night and out of the manor.“Aunt Giada,” said Wynn politely.Giada grabbed her arm and sat down on the sofa. She asked her servants to prepare some desserts.Over here, Philip and Tim had already exited the manor. Philip turned around suspiciously. He thought he heard Wynn’s name being called just now.He shook his head, opened the car door, and got in.Back to Wynn. She was still feeling uneasy, especially when she was facing Giada.This woman was Philip’s stepmother, and Philip had some misunderstandings with her.“Wynnie, come, freshly made desserts. It’s a specialty in the South River District.”Giada smiled warmly as she picked up a slice of green ca
“Philip, is there anything you’re hiding from me?”Wynn asked and looked intensely at Philip.Philip approached her and held her in his arms. He smiled and said, “No. What are you thinking? I’ve told you everything I need to.”Philip was betting that Giada had not said anything to her.He knew she would not tell Wynn anything.If that was the case, he could bring Wynn and Mila back home in a right and proper manner.As for why he refused to tell Wynn his real identity, Philip had his own considerations as well.Wynn came from an ordinary family. She did not have the foundation nor a huge family as her backing. If Philip revealed who he was or if he brought them home, the Wallises and the other powers might want to take action against them.In this world, the Wallises were not the only family eyeing the Clarkes.The situation now was like a tug of war. The end of the rope with more people would most likely be the winning side.Once Philip broke this equilibrium, the chain reac
Martha could not bring herself to fight back and be unreasonable in front of Giada. This woman was too overbearing!She was only ferocious in her own territory. She would only be aggressive toward Philip.If she was with an outsider, she would be so cowardly that she would not even dare to let out a fart.Martha was petrified, especially when she was faced with an overbearing woman like Giada.“I-I…”Martha stammered and clutched her face. She did not know what to say.Slap!Giada slapped her again. She said sternly, “Martha Yates, I’m warning you. Get rid of all of your little tricks. Do you think the Clarkes are weak? Did you forget what I warned you the last time?”Martha was such a commoner. She really forgot about the pain once the scar was healed.She was the most shameless kind of person on earth.“I-I didn’t…”Martha clutched her face and lowered her head. Her entire body was trembling. She did not dare to look Giada in the eye.Giada peered at her coldly and walked
“Philip, why are you here?”There was a smirk on Houston’s face. He stood at the door and looked at Philip with a mocking look on his face. “And you too Mindy, what are you doing? You’re always loitering and not doing work! Do you want to be fired?”“No, Sir, I’m…”Mindy was scared. She wanted to explain, but she was interrupted by Houston.“What do you mean no? I think you don’t want this job anymore.”Houston’s eyes turned dark. “You’re always running around during office hours and not doing any work. You’re fired!”Philip’s face fell as he yelled, “Mr. Michaels, you don’t have to target other people because of me, right? If you want to come for me, you can come for me. This has nothing to do with Mindy.”“Philip…”Mindy was touched. She wiped away the tears in her eyes.The corner of his lips upturned as he said, “Mr. Michaels, I forgot to tell you. From now on, I’m also an employee at Beacon.”Beep!Everyone in the office was stunned.Philip was their colleague now?Di
