Swoosh!
The door opened to reveal Philip standing there.
Martha’s expression froze. Then, favonovel.com said curiously, “Aren’t you in jail? How did you get out?”
Philip smiled and said, “Mom, I didn’t break the law, so naturally they let me out.”
At the same time, Wynn heard Philip’s voice and ran out. She hugged Philip and wailed.
Philip consoled her. “It’s alright now. I’m fine. See, I’m here now.”
Everyone sat together in the living room.
Martha and Charles sat on the sofa. Their eyes were piercing and they looked angry. They stared at Philip like they were going to interrogate him.
There was an old man next to Philip. It was George.
Martha started at George, looking annoyed, “Philip, who is this old man? How can you bring strangers into my house?”
Martha did not like this old man’s outfit. He was old and wearing a suit. He was also holding a black hat that favonovel.com had never seen before. There was a grin on his face.
It was obvious that favonovel.com was not an honorable person.
No wonder Philip was arrested by the police. He was hanging out with people like this!
Philip explained calmly, “Mom, he’s my… friend. He’s the reason I got out.”
Philip did not tell them what kind of friend favonovel.com was.
If favonovel.com told favonovel.com the man sitting opposite favonovel.com was the richest man in Riverdale and that favonovel.com was his butler, would Martha go insane?
“My name is George Thomas. Nice to meet you two.”
George knew that his young master’s mother-in-law was a devious person. She was famous for being unreasonable and causing a scene. Now that favonovel.com got to see favonovel.com in the flesh, favonovel.com was indeed outstanding.
“George… George Thomas?”
Wynn finally came back to favonovel.com senses. She looked at the person next to Philip and said in a surprised voice, “You’re really Mr. Thomas? George Thomas?”
“Wynn, you know this old man?”
Martha pressed favonovel.com lips together. She chuckled coldly. She looked like favonovel.com was asking for someone to slap favonovel.com across the face.
“Mom, George is the richest man in Riverdale…” Wynn said excitedly.
Her husband knew George Thomas!
“The richest man in Riverdale? A man like him?”
Martha looked at George in disdain. She said in detest, “Wynn, stop joking. How can Philip know someone as rich as him? Besides, just because his name is George Thomas doesn’t mean he’s the same man as the one you’re talking about.”
It was understandable that Martha did not know George. She did not care about the business world. She only busied herself with minor gossips.
Plus, in favonovel.com eyes, how would a spineless coward like Philip know a rich man like that?
If favonovel.com really knew a rich man with a status like that, favonovel.com would kowtow to favonovel.com and thank favonovel.com profusely.
George’s face twitched at Martha’s jeers. However, favonovel.com controlled his temper.
Wynn was frantic. She kept on eying Martha but Martha ignored her. On the contrary, favonovel.com started making nastier remarks at him.
“Philip, next time, don’t bring any irrelevant people into our house. If not, don’t even think about stepping foot in this house again,” Martha said in dissatisfaction. Even favonovel.com eye bags were filled with frigid irony and scorching satire.
However, at the same time, the news started broadcasting on the television.
“According to our latest news, the richest man in our city and chairman of Apex Group, Mr. George Thomas, has funded 2 billion into building the largest police academy in our city. He has made huge contributions to the steady development of our city.”
After the news was announced, the entire living room fell silent.
Especially when George’s photo and interview footage was shown on the television.
Martha’s eyes went wide. She stared at the richest man on the television and shifted favonovel.com gaze to the old man who was sitting in front of her. Her eyes kept wandering back and forth between the two of them.
“My word!”
Martha started trembling from fear. She pointed to the television and said, “You… Y-you… You’re really that George Thomas? George Thomas, the richest man in Riverdale?”
My gosh!
Martha was having an emotional breakdown.
What had favonovel.com done? What had favonovel.com said?
She was so silly!
A rich man like favonovel.com was in favonovel.com house and favonovel.com still made cutting remarks and mocked him!
