Chapter 408

“Wynnie, what’s going on here? When did you buy a villa? Why didn’t you tell me? Also, why is it under

Philip’s name as well?” Martha asked in bewilderment.

Philip stepped out and wanted to explain, but Martha glared at him while cursing, “Shut up! This has

nothing to do with you. I’m asking my daughter.”

Martha was very upset now. Why was that good-for-nothing’s name on the villa?

Wynn looked unhappy, especially when she saw Martha chastising Philip. Could she not tell that the

villa was actually bought by Philip?

“Mom, actually this villa is…”

Wynn was just about to reply when she was interrupted by Paula. “I know, did you buy this villa using

the one billion investment from Clarke Group of Capital City?”

Instantly, everyone felt that it was the truth. They were filled with envy, but at the same time, felt

contempt toward Wynn too.

How long had it been since she was appointed as the chairman of the company and she already

started to embezzle the company’s funds? If something went wrong, could she really handle it?

However, all of them had their eyes on the one billion investment too.

With so much money, if they divided it between themselves, they could be multimillionaires already and

live a life of comfort.

Martha was nervous when she heard this and asked, “Wynnie, did you really use that investment to

buy this villa? Will there be a problem?”

If anything happened, they would be jailed.

Although Martha wanted to live here, she did not want to live the rest of her life in fear either.

Wynn looked at Philip. The latter held her hands and spoke to everyone, “It’s okay, even if this

investment money was used, you won’t be held accountable because all the money is mine…”

“Yours? What’s yours? Just look at what you’re saying. Do you have any right to speak here?”

Martha interrupted Philip before pulling Wynn to one side and asked anxiously, “Wynnie, tell me the

truth. Did Philip come up with this idea? Did he tell you to buy this villa?”

Wynn replied, “He’s the one who bought it, but it’s not…”

“Oh dear, Wynnie, why are you so stupid? If anything happens, you have to be responsible for it! Why

did you listen to that fool’s words? And the villa is under your name too.”

Martha was still hung up about the names on the villa.

She did not want to see Philip sharing their family’s property.

Wynn could only helplessly say, “Mom, don’t worry. It’s fine, there won’t be any problems.”

Since her daughter had already said so, Martha did not pursue the matter. She steeled herself and

decided to move in. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Back at the main hall, Martha glared at Philip fiercely and said directly, “Philip, I’m warning you, don’t

harbor any ill intentions toward our family! You can’t have a share in this villa. Tomorrow, you’d better

get rid of your name and replace it with your dad and my names!”

Philip was slightly upset and said, “What has this got to do with you? This villa has Wynn and my name

on it. What right do you have to warn me? Besides, did you spend a single cent on it? Why should your

name be on it?”

“You!”

Martha was so angry that she was speechless. She cursed, “Why don’t I have the right? Did you spend

money to buy this villa, then? It’s bought using Wynn’s money! You’re nothing but someone who lives

off our family. What right do you have to yell at me? I’m your mother-in-law! If I don’t allow you to live

here, who’ll dare allow you to live here?”

Martha was mad. Philip was not showing her any respect in front of so many relatives.

She could not bring herself down like that.

Philip could not be bothered to explain to Martha, so he just sneered coldly. “Martha Yates, please

remember, this villa belongs to Wynn and me. I am the owner of this place! If you want to stay here,

you have to get my consent!”

“What do you mean?”

Martha felt a little guilty, especially when she came into contact with Philip’s cold stare.

This fellow had grown up and dared to speak to her with such an attitude now.

This good-for-nothing had hidden himself so well over the years. He had just been waiting for this day.

How could her daughter be so stupid to marry such a turncoat!

Would this family have a good life in the future?

“What I mean is, I’m in charge of this house, do you understand?”

Philip took a step forward, and Martha shrank back in fright. She said furtively, “You, what are you

trying to do? This place has my daughter’s name too. Why are you the one in charge?”

Philip could not be bothered with her anymore. He looked around at all the relatives and roared, “I’ll tell

you today that this is my home. If you want to stay here and visit, then behave yourselves! If you don’t

want to, then get lost!”

Domineering!

At this moment, Philip displayed unprecedented intensity in front of these relatives.

In the past, he portrayed a cowardly figure who was always humiliated and mocked by them.

Today, it was a total reversal.

The relatives stared at each other before taking their bags and running out quickly.

Only Charles and Martha were left standing in the huge hall. They were at a loss about what to do.

“Have you forgotten what you said this morning?” Philip suddenly laughed coldly.

Martha’s back was drenched in sweat when she heard that, and she felt very guilty.

She remembered it clearly. If Philip really bought a villa, she would kneel and beg for his forgiveness.

This… Was she really going to kneel?
