Chapter 692 Mr. Winters was taken aback, âPhillip, how can you jump to conclusions so quickly when things havenât been clarified? My two granddaughters had a bit of a tiff with Arabella, but itâs not like itâs escalated to hiring a hitman. There must be someone trying to drive a wedge between our families.â
âYouâre saying Arabella is framing you?â Phillip looked very unhappy. If there were a table near him, it would definitely be flipped.
âNo. What Iâm saying is, shouldnât we release Enid and Noreen before everything is clarified.â
âYou said it yourself, and this was Bellaâs call, I canât override her.â Phillip waved his hand, ready to leave the living room and head upstairs. âPhillip, sheâs your grandsonâs wife. Doesnât she listen to you?â
âWell, youâve got it all wrong.â Phillip turned his head back, correcting him word by word, âExactly because she is the McMillian familyâs granddaughter in law. I fully support whatever she does, and not only that, if anyone dares to bully her, Iâll hold them accountable! Youâd better pray that your granddaughters havenât done anything unforgivable or I wonât let it slide!â
âPhillip!!â Mr. Winters was furious, seeing that Phillip Wouldnât intervene, âDonât forget, I was the one who saved your son!
Otherwise, where would you get your grandson and granddaughter?â
Phillip stopped and looked at him, his eyes unreadable.
âPut it nicely, the McMillian family owed me a favor. Put it bluntly, the McMillian family owed me two lives!â
If he hadnât saved Romeoâs father back then, Romeo wouldnât have been born.
One could say he saved two members of the McMillian family at once.
âSo, youâre here to cash in on your lifesaving favor?â There was a hint of contempt in Phillipâs eyes.
âAbsolutely!â Mr. Winters was so angry that he didnât care about the relationship between the two families, âEven if Noreen and Enid did something wrong, I saved your son and grandson so you should let them go, and weâre even!â
âAre your two granddaughters together worth half my sonâs life? If the Winters family really tried to murder Bella, donât expect me to let you off the hook!â âPhillip, one must not forget kindness. I saved your son, gave you a grandson, and now your grandson is so outstanding all because of me. Mr. Winters put the pressure on, âIf you feel awkward talking to Arabella, let me do it. Call her now, and Iâll talk to her.â
You want to make things difficult for Arabella? Iâm not dead yet! Itâs not your place.â
Before Phillip could finish his sentence, his phone rang. He checked and it was from Arabella.
Mr. Winters noticed the change in his expression. Needless to say, the caller must be Arabella!
He was about to snatch Phillipâs phone, but Phillip picked up first.
He answered because he couldnât bear to hang up on Arabella and didnât want to pretend he didnât see.
âHello? Bella.â Phillipâs tone when talking to Arabella was soft and gentle, a stark contrast to his earlier demeanor.
But Arabella still detected a hint of fatigue in his voice.
