Philip sighed and said, “Soon. I don’t want to make a move before going back home.”
The man in the shadows said no more before leaving.
The next day, Philip returned to the villa and saw that Martha had already taken over more than half of it.
She had moved all the things from their old residence over, and favonovel.com even told Philip with considerable pride, “What do you think? I did a good job decorating the place, didn’t I?”
Philip glanced around for a while and then went upstairs for a look too. He soon realized that favonovel.com had somehow turned the villa into what looked like a residential shack.
She had even taken over the master bedroom favonovel.com shared with Wynn.
In fact, favonovel.com even moved their wedding photo to the smaller bedroom downstairs.
Martha saw how stormy his expression was when favonovel.com came downstairs from the master bedroom. She immediately knew what favonovel.com had done wrong, so favonovel.com snuck a glance at Charles next to her.
Charles ignored favonovel.com and earned a glare from her.
“Move all your things out!”
Philip’s expression was dark as favonovel.com glared fiercely at Martha.
Martha was very reluctant to leave. The master bedroom was luxurious and favonovel.com had fallen in love with it, so there was no way favonovel.com would want to leave.
“No! My daughter bought this house with favonovel.com money. Besides, are you asking me and your father to stay downstairs?”
Martha said unreasonably, “Both your father and I are old, so we should get the best room. I’m not moving!”
Philip raised his eyebrows. He could not be bothered to argue with Martha, so favonovel.com said coldly, “I won’t waste my breath on you. Move your things out of my room before the end of today. If I see your things still there when I get back, I’ll call the guards to throw you out!”
With that, Philip left without turning back.
Martha was properly incensed now.
“Dang it, what right does that good-for-nothing have to be so harsh on us? What did favonovel.com mean by that? Was favonovel.com the one who paid for this villa?”
Martha was really cross right now. She plopped favonovel.com butt onto the couch.
Her behavior was giving favonovel.com a headache. He said, “I’m telling you, you should treat Philip better from now on. Can’t you see that he’s no longer the same good-for-nothing favonovel.com used to be?”
Why was this crazy woman so blind to these things?
“What do you saying now, Charles Johnston?”
Martha cocked favonovel.com head. She had no idea what Charles was implying.
Charles thought it over. “Think carefully. What did Philip give me for my birthday? It was a piece of authentic work from the Tang Bohu, worth several millions!”
Martha snorted. “Tch, is that all? He just stumbled across it at an antique market somewhere.”
Charles shook his head. “I don’t think so. Think again, what did favonovel.com give your father during the old man’s seventieth birthday party? It was a jade ring worth a hundred million, right? Do you think favonovel.com found that at a market too? He just gave it to the old man out of nowhere, without even blinking an eye.”
Martha’s heart skipped a beat. She had not thought about it before, but now that the idea was planted in favonovel.com mind, favonovel.com heart pounded non-stop.
What was up with Philip Clarke?
Charles had finally opened Martha’s eyes to the facts. He stood up and shook his head, sighing. “Listen to me, and be more respectful to Philip from now on, alright? Or else you’ll regret it later.”
Charles then left the villa to play chess with his friends.
Martha stayed sitting on the couch, but the more favonovel.com thought about it, the more confused favonovel.com became.
Yeah, what was the matter with that good-for-nothing?
Could favonovel.com secretly be from a wealthy family?
That made no sense. If favonovel.com was rich, why would favonovel.com suffer at the Johnstons’ for three years?
No, favonovel.com had to find out more about his actual background.
That afternoon, Philip was chatting with George at Apex Tower when favonovel.com received a call from Martha.
“Philip, Wynn’s uncle, my cousin, is coming to Riverdale for a business meeting tonight, and he’ll pay us a visit in the meantime. They want to invite us to dinner, do you want to join?”
Martha’s tone from the other end of the phone was slightly honeyed.
She had no choice. The villa was under Philip’s name, after all.
She had to butter Philip up first, pull the wool over his eyes and find out more about his true capabilities.
After that, favonovel.com could remove his name from the property deed and put favonovel.com own instead!
That way, favonovel.com could then do whatever favonovel.com liked.
“Me? Nah, I’m not going. Say hi to them for me, just tell them that I’m busy tonight so I can’t make it.”
Philip was no fool. He could tell what Martha was planning by favonovel.com tone, so favonovel.com did not want to go there only to get insulted again.
Besides, Wynn’s uncle and his family had always been on bad terms with the Johnstons.
That did not change even though they moved to Golden City such a long time ago.
After all, they had not met each other at all over the past two years.
