Chapter 160

Lynn was panicking. She stomped her feet and grabbed Philip’s arm. She said, “Philip, tell them if this

is real or not. No, you have to call Theo now and tell him to come here!”

Lynn was starting to throw a tantrum.

She had never been suspected like this before, so of course she was feeling unhappy.

However, Philip shook his head and said, “I’m sorry, I don’t know any Theo Zander. Lynn, did you make

a mistake?”

“Hahaha!”

Laughter immediately erupted.

Lynn’s face went red. She could feel the detest coming from her friends.

She felt like a featherless chicken that was standing in front of everyone naked. She was being

criticized and shamed by everyone.

“Lynn, that’s enough. Your brother-in-law has already said that, so stop lying to us already. We won’t

laugh at you.”

“Your brother-in-law is an honest man. He’s not that much of an idiot it seems.”

“That’s enough. We’ll just go and have fun ourselves.”

Her friends left while laughing.

Lynn was livid. She turned around angrily and swung her hand to slap Philip. She yelled, “Philip, why

aren’t you telling the truth? Are you happy now that I’m being mocked by them?”

However, her hand was caught in the air by Philip.

“Lynn, I’m warning you. Don’t try to use me. If it isn’t for the fact that you’re Wynn’s cousin, you wouldn’t

even be able to stand here and talk to me like this, do you understand?”

Philip turned cold all of a sudden. His tone was icy, and there was anger flickering in his eyes.

Lynn was stunned. She retracted her hand. Then, she stared at Philip fearfully and angrily. After a long

while, she said, “Philip Clarke, you’ll regret this.”

‘How dare he yell at me!

‘Damn it!’

Lynn was unhappy. She was humiliated by her friends and now she was getting yelled at by Philip. She

had never been so battered.

However, Philip replied flatly, “Whatever, but I’m warning you, if you dare to do something out of line,

you’ll have to suffer the consequences.”

After he said that, Philip turned around and walked away with his hands in his pockets.

Looking at Philip’s back, Wynn was going mad with anger. She stomped her feet on the ground and

said angrily, “Philip, how dare you offend me! I will make you regret this! I’m so mad!”

She wanted to get back at Philip. The easiest way was to threaten him with something.

After Philip left, he went to Apex Group to see George.

“Young Master, I’ve prepared the birthday present you asked for. Do you want me to open it for you to

take a look?”

George looked respectful. Behind him was a blonde secretary with blue eyes. She was holding an

embroidered box that was the size of a fist. The box looked delicate. It was obvious that the contents

inside were valuable just by looking at the box.

Philip took it from the secretary and said, “No need. It’s just a gift. Your box is too fancy. Change it to

another one that looks simpler.”

In a flash, the secretary changed it to a normal box. Philip held it in his hands and nodded while feeling

at ease.

“Alright, I’ll go back now.” When Philip walked to the door, he stopped suddenly. He asked slowly,

“When will Chloe arrive in Riverdale?”

“Miss Sommerset might be arriving in these two days,” George replied, looking worried.

The young master’s past romance.

She was not an easy person to deal with. She was the Sommersets’ third daughter, after all.

Plus, she had been so badly hurt back then.

Chloe had been looking for Philip these past years. She only found him because he inherited his

family’s fortune during this period of time.

Back then, Philip had left without saying anything.

This morning, Martha went out early in the morning. She was wearing a typical checkered middle-aged

woman attire and holding a tumbler of black chicken soup that she made herself. She called a car and

went to Apex Group.

She was giddy with glee and felt like she was walking on clouds.

Why did Martha come here?

She came here to see George, of course.

She had planned this out clearly. She was going to fawn over George and would ask him for money!

Philip saved his life, so one million was too little.

Philip felt embarrassed to ask for more but she was not. She was thick-skinned.

She would not ask for much, she would only ask for ten million. If he refused, then she would ask for

five million. If he still refused, she would make a fuss.

He had such a big company and was the richest man in Riverdale. He must be loaded. He would not

care about these few million bucks.

When she got to Apex Group, Martha got out of the car and went to the entrance of the building. At the

same time, a group of people walked out.

It was George!

Martha’s eyes brightened. She wanted to rush over while being full of joy and expectations.

However, Martha stopped walking.

Was that not Philip next to George?

Why was that coward here?

Martha hid at one side hurriedly. Then, she saw George asking Philip to get into the Bentley

respectfully.

Respectfully!

She saw this with her own two eyes. George was being so respectful to Philip. He even bowed and

opened the door for him.

How… How was this possible?

Was this really her spineless son-in-law, Philip Clarke?
