Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father by Pixie

S2 67. Interrogation for Philip

“My parents are not as rich as you, Sir. Since they died, I had to be independent. But that’s

what made me strong,” Philip said sadly.

But a second later, his hands clenched into fists. His gaze was tinged

with confidence.

“My skills are not many. I can only fight, swim across the strait, or jump from a plane. But I

can make sure that your daughter is safe with me.”

“So you have nothing to support my daughter?”

“Dad,” Barbara grimaced.

Philip blinked stiffly. “I have an apartment and some savings. And with my current salary, I

think your daughter can live well.”

“You mean the inherited apartment?” Paul’s eyebrows rose.

Barbara sighed faintly. Her worry grew deeper. However, seeing Philip shake his head, she

was amazed.

“No, Sir. My own apartment. I started paying it in installments whe worked as a bodyguard

for the Harper family. It’s not one buildi just one floor. But soon, the installments will be

paid off.”

“How much do you have in savings?”

Barbara’s admiration was suddenly shattered. “Your questions are too much, Dad,” she

whispered.

However, Paul raised his hand. “No, Darling. This is a fair question. I need to know what

your future looks like. I can’t possibly hand you over to a man who can’t support his

family.”

“Is a billion enough? I spent quite a lot on the apartment in

installments.”

While Paul dropped his jaw, Barbara sighed in disbelief, “You’ve been saving since you

were born?”

“I’ve only been able to save since working at Savior. That’s the rest of my expenses. Am I

not enjoying life enough?” Philip muttered at the

end.

Barbara shook her head and chuckled. “I think my mother and I need to learn saving from

you. You are great, Philip.”

“What’s so great? He holds three positions at once, and he doesn’t like shopping. It’s

natural that he has that much savings.”

While Barbara scowled, Paul stepped forward. His hand was placed on Philip’s shoulder.

“Please look after my daughter! I can’t take her home because there’s no one to look after

her there. But here, can I entrust the task to you?”

Philip’s eyes widened. He glanced at Barbara briefly. The girl also wore the same

expression.

“You approve of our relationship?” Barbara sighed.

Paul smiled. “Yes. Isn’t this man the one who made you chan think there’s no harm in

giving him a chance.”

Philip let out a sigh of relief. With a wider curve of his lips, he nod firmly. “Thank you, Sir. I

won’t let you down. I will take care of Barba the best I can.”

Suddenly, Paul’s finger pointed upwards. “But remember! I gave you trust, not freedom. If

you dare to do anything to my daughter, you will regret it.”

Philip straightened his back. His chin was slightly raised, “Don’t

worry, Sir. I can’t possibly hurt her. I will protect her with all my soul.”

Chuckling, Paul patted Philip’s arm. Barbara could see the happy look in her father’s eyes.

“Dad, thank you for accepting Philip,” Barbara sighed, full of emotion.

Paul smiled. Carefully, he hugged his daughter. “I will do anything for your happiness,

Darling.”

While closing her eyes, Barbara soaked in the warmth. She was grateful that her father

was different from her mother.

“Sorry I made you worry,” she whispered.

“It’s not your fault, Darling. It was your mother who went too far. It’s no wonder Frank sent

her to a rehabilitation center. She really needs

mental healing.”

Barbara’s smile suddenly disappeared. Her eyes trembled, waiting for an explanation.

“Rehabilitation center?”

While Philip sighed heavily, Paul froze. “Your brother hasn’t told you?”

Paul just realized he had revealed a secret. Knitting his eyebrows, he stroked his

daughter’s hair.

“I think Frank didn’t want to burden you. He was forced to send h there. Her actions could

no longer be tolerated. She could end up harming others if she continued.”

Barbara was pensive. Her heart was blue. “I can’t imagine Mom is in that kind of place.”

“Don’t worry, Darling. Frank’s decision was right. Your mother is sick. That’s the best way

for her.”

Barbara’s face darkened. No more light radiated from her eyes.

“No wonder Kara said that whoever gets better first can visit the others. It turns out I’m

not the only one being treated.”

Barbara’s lips began to tremble. She quickly bit it so as not to invite

sadness.

“Why didn’t I suspect anything earlier? Brother even said clearly that he asked an expert

to treat Mom’s mental condition.”

Suddenly, Barbara let out a sigh of disgust. “I am now not only the daughter of a criminal,

but also the daughter of a mad woman?”

Philip grabbed Barbara’s hand. “Hey, your mom isn’t crazy. She’s just a little shaken up.”

Barbara’s eyes filled with tears. She didn’t expect Philip to comfort

her.

“Aren’t you embarrassed about dating someone with a mental disorder?” Her voice was

hoarse.

Paul quickly interjected. “Why say that, my daughter? You are different from your mother.”

“But I’m embarrassed, Dad. What will people say if they find out? Where will I put my

face? I can barely stand facing Philip.”

“Hey,” Philip wiped Barbara’s tears, “you know what? You should think about what people

think. They don’t really care about you.”

Paul remained silent, listening to how Philip comforted his daugh

“Those who truly care about you will never insult you. Your broth your sister-in-law, the

twins, and me. Have we ever insulted you? No right?”

While Barbara’s chin twitched, Philip formed a smile. “Is our support not enough for you?”

“Of course enough, but-”

“Then don’t be sad anymore, hmm? Your niece and nephew will be

disappointed if they find out that their consolation failed.”

Seeing how Barbara stopped crying, Paul was stunned. He no longer protested when Philip

buried a kiss on her temple. In fact, he was grateful for his presence. Barbara now had

another shoulder to lean

After leaving the hospital, Paul drove to a rehabilitation center. His expression was flat, his

hands clenched tight. Arriving at a room, he sighed heavily.

“Do you regret your actions now?”

The pale-faced woman sitting by the window turned her head. Her withered eyes widened

when she saw Paul.

“My husband….”

Unexpectedly, Melanie dropped from the chair. After crawling, she grabbed Paul’s leg.

“Please get me out of here. I’ll really go crazy if I keep being locked up like this.”

Paul looked at Melanie coldly. “Did I hear correctly? You called me your husband?”

“Yes, don’t you still love me? I still need you too. Besides, our divo papers haven’t been

processed yet. Yesterday I signed it by force. not legal.”

Paul snorted. “Force? I heard you admitted that you were no longer my wife in order to

maintain your inheritance. Now you eat your own shit?”

Melanie shook her head. Her look became even more pitiful.

“I did it for us, Darling. If I get the inheritance, I can help your company. Our economy can

recover and we can live in peace again.”

Paul smiled disdainfully. “You’re really shameless, hmm? How many times have I given you

opportunities, but you just squandered them. You even called me an incompetent and

unreliable husband.”

“No, Darling. I was blinded by greed at that time. Now I want us to be together again. You

still love me, right?”
