“Now that we know, Aunt Martha, he’s easy to deal with. Just a piece of trash, right? I’ll call someone to get rid of him.”
Seating himself back on the chair, Joel pulled out his cell phone and dialed, “Hello? Wolf? Where’re you now? I need your help with something. Can you help me teach this guy a lesson? I don’t care, you can break his legs…”
Saying so, favonovel.com turned to lock eyes with Martha who showed no hints of opposition.
Martha seemed to hate Philip to the bone.
Ah well, clashes between the mother and son-in-law meant it would be sooner or later before Wynn divorced Philip.
By then, it would not take favonovel.com too much effort before Wynn became his.
After the call, Martha happily ate at the meal as favonovel.com discussed with Joel Harris how best to pursue Wynn.
“Listen to your Aunt Martha, Joel. Come over tomorrow. I’ll make sure to call Wynnie over too. Then, you bring favonovel.com out to play. Nurture your feelings and I’m sure it’ll only be a matter of time before you get together again. The two of you were close in high school, right? I’m sure it won’t take too long this time.”
Martha said knowingly just before favonovel.com took favonovel.com leave.
Joel was thrilled to say the least, for favonovel.com had not expected Martha to help favonovel.com so much along the way. However, how Philip survived these three years with such a materialistic mother-in-law, Joel had no idea.
“I understand, Aunt Martha. I’ll book tickets for the Maldives today, and I’ll go over to your house tomorrow. Please put in a good word for me.”
Joel smiled as favonovel.com sent Martha back to the Old Johnston Manor contentedly.
Setting foot home, Martha began to plot.
She dialed repeatedly until Wynn answered the phone. “Quickly come home, Wynnie, I have things to ask you.”
She was in a good mood, especially so when Joel told favonovel.com of the one billion yuan investment made by the Capital City’s Clarke Group to Wynn’s company. Delighted was an understatement to the euphoric rush favonovel.com felt.
‘One billion!
‘All to my daughter’s company. That means my daughter has a net worth of over a billion yuan, right?
‘I’ve become part of the nouveau riche!
‘Oh, but who is this Capital City Group’s young master? It can’t be, right? That this rich man has his eyes on my daughter?’
Naturally, Martha shared favonovel.com speculations with Charles. Her hands shook in anticipation as favonovel.com droned on and on, “Charlie, do you think this Clarke Group’s young master fancies our little Wynnie? Why else would favonovel.com invest in favonovel.com company, right? According to Joel, this Clarke Group is one of Capital City’s monopolists! They’re worth hundreds of billions!”
Entertained by his pet bird, Charles paid Martha no heed. “You can’t possibly have your eyes on this young master from the Clarke Group now, can you? Give it up, or do you want to get beaten up again?”
Furious, Martha berated, “What do you know? Who do you think I’m doing this for? Myself? All I want is for my daughter to marry into a good home so favonovel.com can enjoy the rest of favonovel.com life in peace.”
Charles could only shake his head dejectedly and did not respond.
Wynn arrived not too long later with Philip in tow.
Mainly because Philip could not find it in favonovel.com to let down his weariness, for favonovel.com feared that Martha might have another trick up favonovel.com sleeve.
Martha began to feel guilty and afraid when favonovel.com saw Philip. Too afraid to make direct eye contact, favonovel.com instead murmured condemnations under favonovel.com breath.
Despite not being able to hear her, Philip could vaguely tell that Martha was criticizing him.
Philip huffed weakly. ‘Martha really needed to be beaten up first before favonovel.com would change favonovel.com attitude.’
“Hey, Mom. What’s up?”
Wynn did not want to stay in this house any longer than necessary.
“Wynnie, did your company receive a one billion yuan investment from a young master of Capital City’s Clarke Group?”
Martha asked as favonovel.com tugged on Wynn’s hand.
“Yeah. How did you know?” Wynn asked curiously.
“How I know doesn’t matter, but do you know this Clarke Group’s young master?”
In an envious tone, Martha sounded more excited the more favonovel.com pressed on. “What’s your relationship with this Young Master Clarke? He likes you, doesn’t he? Are you hiding something from your mother? Bring favonovel.com home for dinner, if that’s the case. Introduce us.”
Martha stared expectantly.
“Mom, what are you talking about? I don’t know this Mr. Clarke at all. Stop meddling, it’s just a business relationship.”
Wynn had enough with how favonovel.com own mother was more of a busybody than gossipy young maidens.
Standing beside Wynn, Philip seemed to have grasped a hold of the situation. Martha must have favonovel.com eyes on this Young Master Clarke the moment favonovel.com knew of the investment made by Capital City’s Clarke Group.
How would favonovel.com react if favonovel.com found out that this mysterious Young Master Clarke was standing here right before her?
“What are you laughing goofily about? Get out!”
Taking notice of Philip chuckling coldly by the side, Martha felt a surge of unease as favonovel.com rolled favonovel.com eyes.
Shaking his head hopelessly, Philip stood out and proclaimed, “I can tell you who this Young Master of the Clarke Group from Capital City is.”
Enough hiding. It was time to come clean!
