Chapter 794
Philip was silent for a moment before he replied, “Sure. Pick me up when the time comes.” With Philip's affirmation, Theo
beamed with joy and sent Philip away respectfully. Others might not know Philip’s identity and status, but Theo was aware. He
had money and connections! This time, Theo planned to take down the entire South River District in one fell swoop! Very soon,
Theo left to make preparations. Philip returned to the villa. Wynn had already returned and was playing with Mila. Seeing Philip,
Wynn got up, motioned to Anne to bring Mila upstairs, and asked, “My mom told me that you beat her up?” Philip already
expected that Martha would complain to Wynn, so he did not hide it and nodded, admitting it. “I did.” Wynn frowned.
As soon as she returned, Martha had pulled her aside while crying and sobbing. She denounced Philip for torturing her. “What
did she do this time?” Wynn knew Philip’s temper. If it was not the last straw, Philip would not do something like this. However,
when she asked Martha, the latter refused to tell her anything. “She stole something and framed Anne for it,”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPhilip said. Wynn frowned when she heard this. Her own mother could really do anything. Right at this
moment, Martha came out of the room.
When she saw Philip, she averted her eyes, trotted over, and pulled Wynn aside to say, “Wynnie, you
must stand up for me.” Wynn turned around, glared at Martha, and said unhappily, “Mom, Philip told me
everything. This is all your fault. Why won’t you admit it?” Martha was angry when she heard this. Her
daughter was still siding with Philip. “What’s there to admit?
I didn’t do it. Anyway, it’s wrong for him to hit me. I’m his mother-in-law, after all.” Martha started to kick
up a big fuss again. She had stayed at home the entire day. The more she thought about it, the angrier
she became. She could hardly wait to drive Philip out. However, she dared not do it. Philip was different
now. He was the big boss of Milanelson Angel Investment Group. Martha was afraid. For a useless
person who she had always oppressed to lord over her one day, Martha felt uncomfortable all over.
“Martha Yates, have you forgotten what I told you during the day?” Philip said grimly at this moment,
glaring at her with cold eyes. Martha got a fright from that glare and immediately hid behind Wynn.
Wynn also knew that her mother was afraid of Philip, so she said to him, “Philip, I’m sorry. I’ll apologize
to you and Anne on my mother’s behalf.” She had no other choice. She was her mother, after all. She
would apologize herself.
However, Martha did not stop complaining. In the end, Wynn could not take it anymore and shouted,
“Mom, that’s enough! Stop talking and go back to your room!” Martha was stunned. She did not expect
Wynn to get angry.
She knew that she would not be able to take care of Philip today, so she went back to her room in anger. Bam! The door
slammed shut behind her!
Martha sat on the bed with Charles next to her. She could not get over her anger and kicked Charles several times. The latter

days? Will you only be satisfied when you’ve offended everyone?” Martha was very angry at Charles’ words. She pointed at the
door and cursed, “Charles Johnston, you’re a man after all.
How can you allow your son-in-law to bully me? So what if he’s rich? So what if he’s the big boss of Milanelson Angel Investment
Group? What’s he so conceited about?” Charles could not take it anymore. He got up, packed his things, and said, “I’ll sleep
outside. If you continue making such a fuss, you’ll regret it sooner or later.” Martha sat on the bed angrily and muttered
incessantly. Looking back at Philip’s side, Wynn returned to the bedroom. While Philip took a shower, Wynn pulled out the USB
flash drive from her bag. This was the item the woman had given her in the café. She said that all the answers she wanted were
in there. Wynn held it in her hand and pondered for a long time. After some hesitation, she put the drive on the bedside table.
Perhaps this was her last hope on Philip. She was willing to trust that Philip would tell her the truth. When Philip came out, he
saw Wynn sitting on the bed reading a book. He smiled and said, “Why are you not sleeping yet? Are you troubled by
something?” Wynn smiled faintly and said, “Company matters.” Philip did not take it to heart. He picked up the phone and
glanced at the notification, then frowned before hurrying out of the bedroom. There was news from Fennel Leigh!
