The family stared at Philip.
He knew who this young master was?
Wynn’s eyes lit up as favonovel.com stared at Philip while the latter spoke as if it was an act of generosity to share the knowledge favonovel.com had. “The young master of the Clarke Group is actually…”
“You?”
Martha interrupted abruptly. She said it in a tone of ruthless taunting before Philip could finish his sentence.
Snorting twice for good measure, Martha wore an expression of pure sarcasm. “Were you going to tell us you’re the young master? I’ve never realized you’re so prone to lying, Philip Clarke, but I suppose it’s better late than never. Wynnie marrying you is a tragedy!”
“Mom, can you not talk to Philip like that? Why are you so opinionated about favonovel.com when all favonovel.com has been doing these few years is take your complaints and chides in stride?” Wynn sighed and shook favonovel.com head dejectedly.
It was as if favonovel.com mother and Philip were mortal enemies or something.
She just had to berate or hit favonovel.com a few times before favonovel.com would move on.
“Are you out of your mind, Wynnie? Why are you so adamant about defending this useless piece of trash?”
Martha was furious as favonovel.com glared at Wynn. Pointing a finger at Philip, favonovel.com told her, “You can ask him! Was favonovel.com about to tell us he’s the young master of the Clarke Group?”
Wynn turned favonovel.com head to face Philip and asked, “Is my mother correct?”
Initially planning to come clean, Philip realized the situation was not one where favonovel.com would be believed. Helplessly, favonovel.com smiled faintly and shook his head.
“Haha.”
Martha hugged a bolster and sighed purposefully. “Some people just have to pretend that they’re some big shot. I wonder how they have the shame to think that they belong in this family. We’re talking about a young master from Capital City, not someone any piece of trash can pose as. You’re both Clarkes and yet this Young Master Clarke has skills, vigor, and billions of yuan at his disposal for investment while someone else is a mere delivery boy!”
Martha’s anger only seemed to flare the more favonovel.com complained. She ended favonovel.com rant with an intense glower at Philip.
“Alright, Mom. Let’s leave it at that and move on.”
Wynn turned to leave after saying so.
What on earth was up with favonovel.com mother, calling favonovel.com over for such a trivial matter?
“Hey, Wynnie. I’m not done yet, what’s the rush?”
Martha began to feel anxious and tried to tug Wynn back. “You should find a time to meet up with this Young Master Clarke to thank favonovel.com or something. It’s only right after the investment favonovel.com has funded your company.”
It would be such a waste not to make this rich young master favonovel.com son-in-law.
This was Martha’s greedy attempt at reeling in the bigger fish.
“You don’t have to worry about that, Mom. I know what should be done in accordance,” Wynn replied.
Martha laughed schemingly and spared Philip one last glance before favonovel.com pulled Wynn into the bedroom and closed the doors.
Recognizing the telltale signs of favonovel.com mother’s secretive behavior, Wynn grew agitated at the knowledge that Martha had another trick up favonovel.com sleeve.
“Is there something you can’t tell me outside, Mother?” Wynn asked, slightly annoyed.
“Tell your mother the truth, Wynnie. Do you really not plan to get a divorce from Philip Clarke?”
Martha asked impatiently as favonovel.com sat next to Wynn, tugging favonovel.com daughter’s wrist.
She would just have to step up favonovel.com efforts to break them apart if they had no plans to get divorced.
Wynn had the rest of favonovel.com life ahead of her, and Martha was not going to watch favonovel.com daughter suffer as favonovel.com would by staying with Philip.
Wynn might not understand now, but perhaps favonovel.com would understand when favonovel.com was older.
It was always better to marry someone rich. That way, favonovel.com would be guaranteed good food and lavish clothes. She would be free of worries that only commoners would have.
Wynn’s eyebrows scrunched in distaste as favonovel.com stood to leave. “Will you stop asking me this again, Mom? Philip and I are not getting a divorce, not to mention that I’m pregnant with his child. It’s not going to happen, so stop thinking about it. You’re my mother, for heaven’s sake. Why can’t you think with my benefit in mind for once?”
“Think with your benefit in mind? What’s there to think about?”
Martha was enraged upon hearing the context of Wynn’s words and prodded favonovel.com finger at favonovel.com forehead as favonovel.com berated, “You’re just stubborn! What’s so good about Philip Clarke? What can favonovel.com give you? Forget about the young master of the Clarke Group, even Joel Harris is better than him. Joel’s family has a private villa and numerous luxury cars, not to mention great connections with important people all around. Who better to marry than him? I’m your mother, everything I do is for your own good! Do you think I’m doing all this for me?”
This daughter of hers knew nothing at all!
“There’s nothing between Joel and me anymore, Mom, so stop plotting, please. As for who you’re doing this for, I think you know the answer better than anyone. You go through all of this just to make yourself look better in the eyes of others, even if it’s at the cost of your own daughter!”
Wynn shot up in anger.
“Wow! Even if I’m doing all of this for myself, aren’t you benefiting from it as well? Isn’t Mila? Tell me, how are you going to pay for baby formula and school fees for both Mila and the child in your tummy? Oh, you think you’re some bad*ss now that you’re the chairman? What if favonovel.com cashes out his investment? I’ve done my homework on this, I know that Beacon’s as good as gone the moment favonovel.com cashes out. You’ll have a court case to deal with as well. You’ll end up with a debt of over tens and hundreds of thousands of yuan!”
Martha continued coldly, “What will you do, then? You’ll need another partner, so search now when you still have the time.”
Bang!
The bedroom door flew open with a kick from the outside to reveal Philip standing rigidly as favonovel.com smirked coldly. “I would never have expected you to go so low, Martha Yates.”
He had heard everything Martha said previously.
Philip could be more forbearing or have the best temper, but there was still no way favonovel.com would stay silent in the face of a materialistic mother-in-law who was willing to sell favonovel.com daughter for a higher status.
Martha’s heart shook when Philip kicked the door open. She scolded favonovel.com to cover up the guilt in favonovel.com heart. “You’re getting more and more out of hand, Philip Clarke. First, you kick down the main entrance. Now, you kick down my bedroom door. What, are you going to kick me next?”
“With the things you’ve said, so what if I kick you next?”
Philip asked with a frosty undertone as favonovel.com walked toward Martha.
