Philip was full of anger and his face turned grim. It seemed that Martha had already forgotten the lesson from before as she dared to treat Mila this way again. Martha was also flustered at the time, especially when she saw Philip rushing in from the door. The latter’s face was full of chills, which reminded her of her beating in the living room that night. Damn it, why was the timing so coincidental! “That, Philip, hear me out…” Martha tried to explain. However... Philip rushed over, waved his big hand, and slapped Martha angrily! Smack! This slap could be said to have exploded directly in the living room. The old ladies all jumped from the sofa and hid aside in fear. They were dumbfounded. Was Philip not a wastrel? How dare he hit his mother-in-law? “What are you doing? How dare you hit Martha? You’re too disrespectful!” One middle-aged woman wanting to please Martha stood up at this time and pointed at Philip arrogantly. However, Philip just cast her a cold
Instantly, these middle-aged women all picked up their bags and fled the living room in a swarm. “Martha, we’ll come back another time.” Before they left, they did not forget to say a polite remark to Martha. Very soon, the living room was left with Martha, who was flushed red, Philip, his wife, as well as Anne who carried Mila upstairs. Wynn held her forehead and looked at Martha. She was absolutely disappointed with her mother. “Mom, I’ve had enough of you. You’re a retired university lecturer after all. How have you become so unreasonable now?” Wynn asked helplessly. Martha was still irritated as she said, “Are you already so grown up that you can speak to me this way?” Martha was very angry that her daughter was so protective of Philip. She just did not like Philip. Even if he had some money now, Martha just could not like him. He was like her enemy from the previous life. “Mom, can you stop being so unreasonable? You know Philip is the one who bought this vil
Just as Wynn was about to drink it, the bedroom door was pushed open. Mila ran in crying, her small mouth pouting. She looked very sad. “Mommy,” Mila called out childishly and pounced into Wynn’s arms. Wynn had to put down the cup. She carried Mila and put her on her lap, laughing as she teased her and asked, “What’s happened to Mila? Why aren’t you happy?” Mila sat on her mother’s lap, inhaled her comforting scent, and said, “I want to play outside.” Wynn thought for a moment and said, “Okay, wait for me. I’ll bring you out to play, okay?” “Okay!” Mila nodded heavily, smacked a loud kiss on Wynn’s cheek, and got down from her lap. She pestered Wynn and pulled her into her small bedroom to show her the mermaid princess doll. Wynn could not help but oblige. It was her day off anyway, so she started playing with Mila. Anne started her cleaning duties. She walked into the master bedroom, saw the two cups of herbal tea on the table, took them downstairs, and poured the cont
Philip was supposed to meet Cynthia in a western restaurant. Cynthia, who was here early, was dressed very simply, but her appearance was not inferior to other women because of her good image and poise. Even in just a simple white dress, she was like a lotus flower in the water, attracting the eyes of most men in the restaurant. Cynthia noticed Philip walking in from the door and waved happily with a smile on her face. Philip also waved briefly and walked through the crowd toward Cynthia. He pulled out the chair and sat down. Cynthia grinned and handed him the menu. “This restaurant is newly opened. There are a lot of delicious dishes. You can look through the menu and see if anything interests you.” Philip obliged. He picked up the menu and thought for a long time before he ordered a few dishes casually. “That’s it. I don’t really know what to eat.” After that, Philip finally asked, “Cynthia, why are you looking for me? Is something wrong?” Larson family of Fernvale, his m
Philip shrugged but said nothing. Cynthia continued, “Perhaps everyone in the world thinks that Clarke Group is very rich and holds a capital flow of more than 100 billion, but in Capital City, there are many families better than them.” Philip smiled and said, “Cynthia, why are you saying this to me? I’m just an ordinary guy, not the young master you’re talking about.” This woman was very smart. She had guessed it. Cynthia did not say anything else. Right at this moment... “Cynthia Larson, you’re here too?” Suddenly, a noble and handsome man in the restaurant appeared in front of Cynthia and Philip. He looked at her with a grin. This handsome man wore a suit and looked quite decent. Philip was drinking coffee when he was suddenly disturbed. Naturally, he was a little unhappy. He glanced around casually and found that the other person was looking at Cynthia with desire in his eyes. Philip frowned and glanced at Cynthia. He found that she had already stood up and was
Chad frowned. Impatience was written all over his face. He sneered. “Brother, who the hell are you? I’m talking to Cynthia. Who are you to interrupt us?” “Excuse me, she’s my girlfriend. Is there something wrong with your eyes? Can’t you see she has rejected you? Why are you still here? Are you just looking for a fight?” Philip raised his face slightly. He could not help being amused at Chad’s frozen smile. He seemed to have used this excuse before. The words just came out automatically. Chad frowned and watched as Cynthia leaned against Philip. His hand was still tightly grabbed by Philip. A bout of fury suddenly welled up inside him! He almost exploded in anger, but this was a Western restaurant and he was the general manager of Worsett International Hotel. He naturally had to maintain his composure and display a gentlemanly demeanor. Chad smiled and touched his nose. His expression was changing rapidly. He stood up, glared at Philip, and said, “You’re her boyfriend? Ho
Chad looked at Philip provocatively and sneered. “It looks like you’re unconvinced, but so what? Tonight, Cynthia Larson will be my woman.” Smack! A loud slap resounded throughout the entire restaurant! No one thought that Philip would land such a fierce slap on the opponent’s face! Clean and decisive! Philip jerked his hand away, shrugged, and said, “Didn’t your mother teach you to speak and behave appropriately? Weren’t you taught not to be impertinent and arrogant?” Chad held his red and swollen cheek. He took a long time to react. His face immediately turned somber. He pointed at Philip and shouted, “You dare hit me? Do you know who I am?” “What has that got to do with me?” Philip looked at Chad as if he was an idiot. He was totally unconcerned about this Mr. Fadden. Chad held his face and was so angry that he was about to explode! When had he ever been slapped in public before? The other party was seeking death! “You’re courting death!” Chad roared furiousl
Philip and Cynthia were on the way home. To be more precise, Philip was sending Cynthia home. The latter finally could not stop herself and said apologetically, “Philip, I’m really sorry, I…”Philip immediately shrugged and said nonchalantly, “You don’t have to apologize to me. I understand. You can’t avoid certain business relations.” Since when did the Larson family start to swallow their anger and watch other people’s moods before acting? What position did Cynthia Larson hold in the Larson family? Cynthia lowered her head, fiddled with her fingers, and said, “Chad Fadden is the general manager of Worsett International Hotel. It happens that our hotel is currently collaborating with Worsett, so I’m afraid that rejecting him will affect our cooperation.” Philip nodded and said, “I understand. However, I still want to remind you that sometimes girls have to learn how to protect themselves. That guy obviously has ulterior motives toward you. If you agree to his demands for the
