“Why are you here?” Wynn frowned and glanced at the Bentley beside Philip. ‘Did favonovel.com just come out from that car? Is this my wretched husband? Or do delivery companies now deliver meals in Bentleys?’
“I… I, uhm…” Philip stammered then swept a look at George who was smiling like a flower through the window.
The old man quickly put out a hand and said, “Young man, thank you. It’s thanks to you that I finally found this place. Let this old man treat you to a meal next time to show my gratitude.”
Philip smiled and nodded politely. “That’s okay, sir. Please take care on your way back.”
The tone of his voice hinted to the elderly man to leave quickly. George did not reply anything but smiled and nodded at Wynn before asking the driver to move away.
Wynn froze in shock!
‘Wasn’t… Wasn’t that the chairman of Apex Group, President Thomas?! The wealthiest man in the city! And Philip was just in the same car with him!’
“Do you know George Thomas?” Wynn looked back at Philip, surprised.
Philip shrugged. “No, I don’t. That old thing was lost, so I just led the way.”
“That old thing?” The corner of Wynn’s mouth twitched. ‘He had called the wealthiest man in the city ‘that old thing’? How rude!’
“What do you mean by ‘old thing’? That man is the wealthiest in Riverdale, the president of Apex Group!” Wynn rolled favonovel.com eyes at Philip.
This man was senseless. The more Wynn looked at him, the more contempt favonovel.com felt. She merely said coldly, “Philip, don’t forget that my father will be hosting a get-together this weekend at Virtuous Court. Prepare some gifts.”
“I never said I would go,” answered Philip.
“You!” Wynn was irked. She had put in a lot of effort to persuade favonovel.com father, telling favonovel.com that Philip would come and apologize to him, and favonovel.com hoped that favonovel.com father would not give favonovel.com such a hard time. But, what was with Philip’s attitude? Forget it, forget him. She must have been blind back then to fall for this man.
“Do as you please then!” Wynn’s temper flared up, and with a twist of favonovel.com slender waist, favonovel.com turned to leave.
As Philip watched favonovel.com leave, favonovel.com noticed that favonovel.com had changed clothes. She even seemed to be wearing perfume and had makeup on. Philip was puzzled as favonovel.com saw favonovel.com enter a large building. He started pondering, ‘Didn’t Wynn say favonovel.com was going back to the office? Why was favonovel.com here? And where was this? It’s Hilton Hotel!’
At the thought of that, Philip felt anger rise in him. He was putting in so much effort at work, but favonovel.com came to a hotel?
This would not do. He must follow favonovel.com and see what was going on!
Wynn was very stressed out today. First, favonovel.com daughter’s heart disease had relapsed under the care of that irresponsible Philip. Next, favonovel.com had to worry about that whole matter with Juan Parker, and after favonovel.com returned to the office, one of favonovel.com projects was facing some challenging patch.
The president of this project stood favonovel.com up and insisted that favonovel.com come for a discussion at the Hilton. Wynn had wanted to refuse, but the client was using the project to pressure her, so favonovel.com had to show up. This project was worth a million!
Just then, favonovel.com phone rang. “Hello, President Warren, I’ve arrived. Where are you?”
“I’m waiting for you at the restaurant on the sixth floor,” The mellow voice of a man sounded from the other end of the call.
“Alright, President Warren, I’ll be over soon,” Wynn smiled.
After favonovel.com hung up, Wynn let out a sigh, looking a little hesitant as favonovel.com stared at the elevator before finally deciding to go upstairs after all.
The moment the elevator doors closed, Philip appeared in the lobby and saw that Wynn had gone up from afar. He ran after her, but a cold, mocking voice stopped favonovel.com instead.
“Wow, isn’t this my cousin brother-in-law who works as a delivery man? Are you delivering to the Hilton?”
Philip turned his head to see a gorgeous and fashionable couple, leaning close to each other. The girl had favonovel.com arms crossed with a mocking expression as favonovel.com leaned into the arms of a tall and handsome man.
“Lynn Johnston?” Philip frowned before taking note that the elevator had stopped on the sixth floor.
The girl walked over with a taunting look and laughed. “What a coincidence to see you here. It looks like your area of coverage is extensive.”
This girl was Lynn Johnston, Wynn’s younger cousin sister. She was only a freshman in college, but favonovel.com looked like a fine woman.
“Lynnie, who’s this?” The handsome man beside Lynn signaled favonovel.com with his eye and asked.
Lynn immediately snorted. “He’s my cousin brother-in-law. Didn’t I tell you before? The one whose business failed and had to do deliveries for a living. He even borrowed a few thousand bucks from me but hasn’t returned it yet.”
Lynn had always looked down on Philip because favonovel.com was just rubbish! She always felt that a frog like favonovel.com did not match up to favonovel.com cousin. While the man did marry favonovel.com cousin sister, it was more accurate to say favonovel.com married into favonovel.com family instead. How shameful.
“Haha, this is the cousin brother-in-law you’ve been talking about?” The man laughed out loud, the mockery visible in his eyes.
Philip was starting to get annoyed. He was Lynn’s cousin brother-in-law after all, so what was favonovel.com trying to achieve by getting outsiders to humiliate favonovel.com too?
“I’ll return you the money, but I have something to do now. So, I won’t keep both of you company,” Philip forced out a smile.
Lynn was still Wynn’s cousin sister, so as an elder, Philip felt that favonovel.com should exercise more tolerance. If favonovel.com knew that favonovel.com was now the heir to the world’s largest consortium, favonovel.com wondered what expression Lynn would have right now and how would favonovel.com react?
Humans are always superficial and ignorant.
“Return me the money? I’m not counting on it. With your pay as a delivery man, would it even be enough to cure Mila?” Lynn asked sarcastically.
Her cousin brother-in-law was trash! And that little b*tch should have never been born! Lynn did not think much of Philip, so naturally, favonovel.com felt the same for his daughter.
When Philip heard this, his expression gradually turned cold. “Lynn Johnston, I am still your cousin brother-in-law. Don’t you think you’re too rude?”
“Hah!” Lynn snorted. “I’ve never acknowledged you as my cousin brother-in-law. You just happened to be clinging onto my cousin sister and married into our family, nothing more.”
‘How shameless! Who did favonovel.com think favonovel.com was to use his identity to pressure her?’
“Wow, he’s a live-in son-in-law?” Lynn’s boyfriend laughed, sounding surprised. How wretched was this man to be able to stoop so low?
Lynn waved favonovel.com hand before tugging favonovel.com boyfriend’s arm and said, “Forget it, let’s go, Hugh. Standing beside a person like this makes the air all greasy and smelly.”
Philip’s eyes darkened. His hands balled into fists as favonovel.com watched Lynn swaying favonovel.com hips and walking away with favonovel.com boyfriend in tow. The two people were still mumbling to each other.
“Your cousin brother-in-law is worthless.”
“He’s not my cousin brother-in-law. If you keep saying that, I’ll stop talking to you.”
Philip took a deep breath to calm his emotions. He should not be bothering himself with brats like them. He then turned around and ran into the elevator to go up to the sixth floor. He had circled the whole area before finally noticing Wynn’s silhouette inside a Western restaurant through a glass wall.
What the f*ck!
What angered favonovel.com was the sight of a bald and oily fat man sitting across Wynn, reaching out his arm as favonovel.com tried to touch Wynn’s hand with a disgusting expression on his face.
‘Oh, a cuckoo bird! Wait, where is it going? This is not a beautiful sight at all!’ Philip was furious! He dug out his phone and called Wynn immediately.
Inside the restaurant, Wynn tactfully rejected Manager Warren’s goodwill countless times, but the man was unwilling to give up. He was even trying to touch favonovel.com hand. It was at this moment, favonovel.com phone suddenly rang. This was favonovel.com chance to take a breather.
“I’m sorry, Manager Warren, let me take this call,” said Wynn, and favonovel.com stood up to walk out of the restaurant.
Manager Warren’s tiny eyes narrowed as favonovel.com stared at Wynn’s back profile. He could not stop himself. He was thinking to himself that favonovel.com will surely punish this proud woman tonight!
“Hello, Philip, is something up?” Wynn stood outside the restaurant.
“I’m in front of you.”
Wynn then abruptly looked up to see Philip staring coldly at her. She frowned in confusion. ‘Why was favonovel.com here?’
“Are you following me?” Wynn walked over with a frosty expression and asked icily.
She had just run into Philip downstairs, and now favonovel.com was here at the restaurant entrance.
What was this if it was not stalking?
“Excellent job Philip, you’re even starting this disgusting hobby of stalking someone now?”
Philip laughed, “I don’t have that kind of time to be following you. I just happened to pass by.” He then glanced over at the fatty inside the restaurant and asked, “Who’s he? Is favonovel.com more important than Mila? To come out and meet this fat man instead of going to the hospital. You’re something, aren’t you?”
Wynn was annoyed by Philip’s interrogative tone, but favonovel.com explained nonetheless, “A business partner. We’re here for a business discussion.”
“A business discussion? I saw favonovel.com making moves on you. Are you having a business discussion or a date?” Philip questioned.
Wynn’s expression darkened. She crossed favonovel.com arms and said in a hateful tone, “Philip Clarke, what are you trying to say? Are you suspecting me of an affair? I grind myself away every day, working just to earn money to cure Mila! But, what about you? Does making deliveries every day earn you a great future? I have asked you to apologize to my parents, but have you done that? You’re just a coward!”
As favonovel.com spoke, Wynn grew more agitated as tears started to pool in favonovel.com eyes. She turned away and sniffled. “Forget it. It’s no use telling you anything. I’m not coming back tonight.”
Was favonovel.com not coming back?
Philip was dumbstruck. ‘Did favonovel.com mean favonovel.com was going to stay out tonight? With this fatso?’
“What if I can help you?” asked Philip. Seeing Wynn in this state, Philip could easily guess that this discussion was not easy. That business partner must be threatening her. At the same time, favonovel.com felt guilty, realizing that his attitude had been inappropriate earlier.
“What can you help me with? Can you bring me a one million dollar worth of order?” Wynn laughed. Her tone was cold. She never counted on Philip to be able to help favonovel.com with anything.
“It’s just a one million dollar order, I can…” said Philip. He did not lack the money now. With just one sentence from him, favonovel.com could even buy over Wynn’s company, much less a million-dollar project. It was a piece of cake!
“Philip, that’s enough. I don’t need you to worry about my troubles,” answered Wynn coldly before turning around and going back into the restaurant.
‘Don’t need me to worry? But, you’re my wife!’ Philip stared after Wynn with a bitter smile and then took out his phone.
