Slap!
The shop owner could no longer take it. He looked at his subordinates and then slapped Martha across the face.
Immediately, Martha, who had been making threatening gestures and endless pesters, fell silent. Her eyes were filled with rage as favonovel.com stared at Philip.
She did not dare attack the shop owner, so favonovel.com ran over to Philip and started scratching favonovel.com shrewishly. She yelled, “How did I get such a useless son-in-law like you? I was slapped and you’re still standing here! You’re just a spineless coward! I’m going to ask Wynn to divorce you!”
Philip felt rather helpless, but favonovel.com did not want to argue about it with her. Hence, favonovel.com turned around and said to the shop owner, “I’m sorry. We’ll pay for it. Why don’t we talk inside?”
The shop owner looked at Russell and nodded. “Alright, you’re quite reasonable, kid.”
After that, the few of them went back into the shop.
On the other hand, Martha continued to make a scene outside as favonovel.com hurled extremely nasty comments, “Philip, if you intend to pay for the case, you should pay for it by yourself! This has nothing to do with me nor my family!”
However, when Martha saw the cold gazes of the two huge men, favonovel.com became as timid as a mouse. Consequently, favonovel.com lowered favonovel.com head and stood in the corner as favonovel.com glared at everyone in the room fiercely while mumbling curses.
Over on the other side, Philip followed the shop owner into a room located in the shop.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Clarke. It’s all my fault, I’m responsible for this.”
Russell apologized to Philip the moment they got into the room.
The shop owner was shocked by what favonovel.com heard and asked curiously, “Mr. Field, what are you doing?”
Dang!
What was going on with Mr. Field? Why was favonovel.com being so respectful toward the young man?
Russell smiled and said, “Tom, this is Mr. Clarke. I mentioned favonovel.com to you before.”
Clank!
The shop owner’s heart skipped a beat, and favonovel.com immediately invited Philip to take a seat.
So, favonovel.com was the top tier nouveau riche who had invested two billion bucks in Russell’s company.
A white and blue porcelain vase was nothing to a rich man like him.
“Um, Mr. Clarke, I’m so sorry. I didn’t know who you were. Why don’t we just disregard the payment for the white and blue porcelain vase? Let’s treat it as a little something from me to you.” The shop owner smiled flatteringly.
Philip waved his hand and said, “No, that’s a horse of another color. Thirty million is thirty million, and I’m not short of money. Give me your account later, I’ll ask my people to transfer the money to you.”
The shop owner looked at Russell and saw the latter nodding. So, favonovel.com did not decline Philip’s offer.
After less than 5 minutes, Philip and the other two men walked out of the room together.
Martha was shocked when favonovel.com saw Philip unharmed. She asked, “You’re alright?”
“Why wouldn’t I be?” Philip asked.
The shop owner said politely, “Please come back to our shop next time, Mr. Clarke. Let me escort you out.”
Philip shook his head and said, “No need.”
After favonovel.com said that, they left the shop.
On the way out, Martha looked at Philip as if favonovel.com was a ghost. However, an opportunity had finally presented itself, so favonovel.com asked, “Philip, stop! Tell me honestly, do you have a secret stash of money that you’re hiding from Wynn?”
A secret stash of money?
Philip shook his head and smiled. “Mom, what are you talking about?”
Martha chuckled and said, “You’re asking me what I’m talking about? The shop owner kept insisting that we pay favonovel.com thirty million. How is it possible that favonovel.com let you go if you didn’t pay?”
Philip had to have a secret stash of money, and there was a chance favonovel.com had a lot of it inside.
Nonetheless, thirty million was just impossible.
Martha was sure that the white and blue porcelain vase was fake. It was a tactic to scam people of their money.
Philip explained, “Mom, the vase was fake. Mr. Field was there, so the owner did not want to look into it anymore. I ended up paying only a hundred thousand bucks.”
Philip could only come up with such an explanation.
“A hundred thousand?”
Martha raised favonovel.com voice. When favonovel.com heard a hundred thousand, favonovel.com felt favonovel.com heart drop. Martha yelled, “You spendthrift! Where did you get the hundred thousand bucks? You’re still saying you don’t have a secret stash of money! Tell me, where did you get the money from? Do you have a mistress behind Wynn’s back?”
Philip had to be having an affair outside.
Martha had to find out where favonovel.com got that hundred thousand bucks from!
Philip felt helpless, and at the same time, extremely annoyed.
Martha was tormenting favonovel.com too much.
“Mom, there’s no such thing. Stop indulging in flights of fancy,” said Philip. Then, favonovel.com called a car to send Martha home.
At the same time, a beautiful woman with a sweet-smelling scent walked over to Philip.
In a fit of anger, favonovel.com slapped Philip across the face in front of Martha.
Chloe’s face was stone cold. Her long dress accentuated favonovel.com perfect figure. Nonetheless, the only thing occupying favonovel.com mind was favonovel.com hatred for Philip.
“What are you doing?” Philip was enraged. Was favonovel.com insane?
“Philip, you still dare to say you’re not doing anything shameful! Who is this little b*tch?”
Martha was furious. She stared at Chloe with resentment in favonovel.com eyes.
The woman looked like a wh*re. She was obviously a homewrecker!
That was Martha’s first impression of Chloe.
However, something amazing happened right after.
“Are you Philip’s mother in law?” Chloe asked as favonovel.com stared at Martha with an icy expression on favonovel.com face; favonovel.com eyes were extremely cold.
Martha was terrified. She felt fear in favonovel.com heart as the other party looked at favonovel.com like that. She said with a guilty conscience, “Yes, I am. Why? Who are you?”
Slap!
Chloe lifted favonovel.com hand and slapped Martha across the face. She said coldly, “Remember, you’re not qualified to ask who I am.”
