“There should be a billion bucks in that card,” Philip said mildly, raising his brow as favonovel.com wore a confident smile.
Wynn paused and stared at Phillip suspiciously, favonovel.com heart pounding in favonovel.com chest.
After that, though, favonovel.com rolled favonovel.com eyes at favonovel.com again and pinched his waist, berating him, “You’re pulling my leg again, aren’t you? If you really have a billion, I’ll have to serve you for the rest of my life.”
Philip grinned at that and put his arm around Wynn’s slender neck. “You said it, not me. Come on, let’s make that an official contract.”
Wynn batted his arm away and scolded favonovel.com with a laugh, “Alright, alright. So you insist you have a billion? Sheesh, you don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to. But you’re not handwaving this off today. I demand an explanation once we get back.”
Wynn raised favonovel.com brows and rolled favonovel.com eyes at him.
She did not believe that favonovel.com really was a billionaire. To her, it was just Philip’s idea of a joke.
Even if favonovel.com did tell favonovel.com that his family ran Northern Sky West Restaurant, favonovel.com probably was not wealthy to that extent.
Besides, favonovel.com ran away from home, right? There was no way favonovel.com would have that much money.
That was why Wynn did not take his words to heart. Nevertheless, favonovel.com happily put the card away.
The card was Philip’s contribution to the family. She had to take good care of it.
Philip shrugged. He told the truth sometimes, so why did no one believe him?
A few days passed without event. Over those days, Philip constantly stayed by Mila’s side in the hospital.
Wynn was busy with work at the company, doubly so now that they had the deal with the Turner’s Hospital branch to handle.
As for Martha, favonovel.com had been surprisingly quiet for those few days. Sometimes favonovel.com would just randomly call Philip and try to convince favonovel.com to visit the Johnstons.
Of course Philip knew what Martha was up to. She had probably been baited by the little amount of money favonovel.com had shown favonovel.com that day at the sales office.
That woman truly only had eyes for money.
Martha had spent the past few days at home, looking through all the manors and villas on sale in Riverdale. She had the money now, so they were already putting the old house on the market. She could get more than seven million for it, and then favonovel.com had Philip’s four million and Manson’s two million.
Martha could buy a villa now, so naturally favonovel.com was over the moon.
In fact, favonovel.com would have plenty of change to spare too.
Once favonovel.com started having more money, however, Martha naturally began to have other ideas.
“Hey, Charles, I bet Philip is hiding plenty more money from us. Think about how favonovel.com so casually dropped three million that day, and favonovel.com hasn’t even asked me for the money back until now. Don’t you think that’s weird?”
Martha was self-aware enough to know that if Philip really wanted the three million back, favonovel.com would not be able to hide it from him.
However, favonovel.com had waited for a few days and Philip had not sought favonovel.com out at all. As a result, favonovel.com grew bolder.
Charles sat on the couch, reading a newspaper. He said, “I mean, considering your temper, of course favonovel.com wouldn’t dare to ask you for the money back. I don’t mean to insult you or anything, but the money is still Philip’s, so you should return it to him. If you don’t want to give it back, then you’d better treat favonovel.com better from now on. Don’t always throw tantrums at him. After all, favonovel.com is your son-in-law.”
Charles shook his head helplessly. He knew what his wife was like.
Since favonovel.com managed to get favonovel.com hands on that three million, no one was ever going to get it back from her.
Philip probably knew that too. That was why favonovel.com could not be bothered to ask.
Martha did not like what favonovel.com heard, and favonovel.com immediately snapped back. “Hey, Charles, since when have you taken that good-for-nothing’s side? All favonovel.com did was give you a painting, do you have to change so much? Kissing up to favonovel.com now, huh? If he’s really all that, then favonovel.com should buy me a villa of his own accord instead of asking me to come up with a plan.”
Martha was annoyed now, and favonovel.com began acting up again.
Charles sighed and said, “You’re being unreasonable. Whatever, I’m going to play chess with Reggie. You just keep on playing with your little calculator. Seriously, what if Philip divorces Wynn one day and asks you for the money? What will you do then?”
With that, Charles walked out of the door.
His words served as a wake-up call to Martha.
He was right. The money was Philip’s, so what if favonovel.com divorced Wynn and asked for the money back?
Was the money part of their shared finances or his personal assets?
No, favonovel.com had to make sure.
Martha immediately gave Wynn a call.
“Hey, Wynn, I want to ask you something.” Martha sat cross-legged on the couch.
“What is it, Mom? I’m at work.” Wynn sounded somewhat tired over the phone.
Martha thought it over and asked, “Wynnie, do you know how much Philip has in savings?”
There was a silence on the other end, followed by Wynn’s suspicious question. “Why are you asking about that, Mom? Do you want to ask favonovel.com for money again?”
Martha said viciously, “Are you an idiot, or what? Would you even know if favonovel.com was hiding money from you and keeping a mistress out there? He’s your husband, which means you need to have a firm hold on his finances. Once you go home, ask favonovel.com properly if favonovel.com still has any more money stashed away. Make sure you know if favonovel.com earned the money before or after you got married. If it’s after, that means the money is evenly split between the two of you. In other words, you won’t lose out if you get a divorce since you’ll get to keep half of it.”
Martha ranted on and on, growing more enthusiastic as favonovel.com went.
Back when Philip and Wynn first got married, not a single member of his family attended the wedding.
Could favonovel.com really be the son of a wealthy family?
Did favonovel.com hide away the money from before they got married?
On the other end, Wynn was absolutely flabbergasted by what favonovel.com was hearing. She hurriedly said, “Alright, alright, Mom. I hear you. I’ll ask favonovel.com when I get home, alright? If there isn’t anything else, I’ll hang up now. Work is really busy these days.”
Smack.
Without waiting for a response from Martha, Wynn ended the call and tossed favonovel.com phone onto the table, sighing helplessly.
Why was favonovel.com mother always like that?
As favonovel.com mind wandered, favonovel.com pulled the card Philip had given favonovel.com a few days ago out of favonovel.com wallet. She held it in favonovel.com hand and looked it over a few times. Only favonovel.com knew what favonovel.com was thinking to herself.
Did this card really contain money?
