Chapter 439

When Martha heard that, she started trembling. She pulled her blanket over her head and pretended to

sleep.

However, the trembling blanket clearly showed how terrified Martha was right now.

“Martha!”

Philip was livid. Martha did not have a limit. How could she make her daughter fall into a trap like this?

Philip was vehement. This mother-in-law of the year had completely disappointed him!

He barged into the room and spotted Martha curled up under the blanket. The entire blanket was

shaking.

“Get up!”

Philip yelled.

Charles tried to stop Philip. He said, “Alright, Philip. Nothing bad happened, right? Plus, your mom had

no choice. You can’t blame her completely.”

Philip glared at Charles and said angrily, “Charles Johnston, stay back!”

Charles was stunned. He was shocked by Philip’s cold and angry words. He walked to one side while

trembling.

This time, Martha shot up from under her blanket. She had been watching the entire thing from a small

corner under her blanket. She cowered and yelled, “Philip, please don’t hit me! I was wrong! I was

wrong! Please don’t hit me!”

Martha was terrified. She was worried that Philip would really kill her!

He was so cruel in the villa. He left a deep impression on Martha.

Philip glared at Martha angrily and warned, “Martha, I’m warning you! If you dare to do something that’ll

harm Wynn in the future, you’ll be the first I go after! You should watch yourself!”

After he said that, Philip left the room while clenching his fists.

He wanted to teach Martha a lesson, but she had already been badly beaten. Plus, she was still

Wynn’s mother at the end of the day, so he could not bring himself to do it.

He would just give her another chance. If she still refused to change, Philip would not mind making her

live in regret for the rest of her life.

After Philip left the room, Martha let out a sigh of relief. She glared at Charles and wailed, “You useless

man! Didn’t you see that he was going to hit me? How could you hide? You have the audacity to hide!

I’m your wife!”

Charles’ face was cold. He glared at her and scolded, “Not only Philip, but even I want to hit you!

You’ve done something stupid and you’re the righteous one now, huh?”

Martha was shocked when Charles scolded her suddenly.

At home, Charles always listened to her. He was afraid of her.

However, she did not expect him to scold her after what happened.

In a blink of an eye, Martha felt extremely wronged. She bawled and rolled around unreasonably. She

yelled, “All of you are bullying me now, huh? Am I not a human? What could I have done? I was being

threatened! Don’t I know that Wynn’s my daughter? You’re all bullying me. Can I still be in charge of

this family? I don’t want to live anymore!”

Martha was angry and sad.

That good-for-nothing Philip was so powerful all of a sudden. She could not accept it in such a short

period.

As for Philip’s identity, she did not dare to ask.

Did she have to humble herself when she was around with him?

Charles was so fierce toward her. Was she not a human being anymore?

Charles had been annoyed and agitated by Martha’s unreasonable behavior for the past ten or so

years. He turned around and left the room angrily to visit Wynn.

When Philip went back to Wynn’s room, he saw a beautiful figure. It was Chloe.

He saw Chloe and Wynn chatting on the bed.

Chloe had a stack of documents in her hands. She smiled at Wynn and said, “Wynn, go back and read

these carefully. I hope you consider this.”

“Why are you here?” Philip frowned.

“You’re here.”

Chloe stood up when she saw Philip. There was an undetectable shyness on her face, but she still

pretended to be cold. She said, “I’m here to visit Wynn, and since I’m here, Aunt Martha too.”

Philip nodded his head coldly and looked at the documents in Wynn’s hand. He asked flatly, “Wynnie,

give her back her things.”

Chloe’s expression looked forced.

“Philip, don’t be so aggressive toward me. We’re still friends, after all.”

Wynn tried to ease the tension after she felt the awkwardness in the air.

She wanted to present herself to look magnanimous. She did not want Philip to be in a tough position.

“Wynn, please don’t misunderstand. Philip and I are just normal friends.”

Chloe looked at Wynn’s magnanimous expression and could not help but feel jealous. She even felt

defeated. No wonder Philip was not interested in her anymore.

This woman was so good at acting!

Was this how she got Philip? By acting?

Chloe changed her strategy. If she could not do it the hard way, she would use the soft way.

Actually, Chloe’s beauty could be compared to Wynn’s. However, their heights were slightly different.

Wynn was 170cm and stood out among most women.

Especially her long and slender legs. They could kill all living things who laid eyes on them.

“It’s fine…”

Wynn wanted to say it was fine. After all, she was Philip’s ex-fiancée. However, she was reluctant to

say it out loud. Why should she hand her husband to someone else on a silver platter? She changed

her tone and said coldly, “Miss Sommerset, I’m not taking this. And also, please behave yourself!

Philip’s my husband.”

“Miss Johnston, didn’t I tell you that Philip and I are just normal friends. Why? Are you not confident in

yourself?”

Chloe crossed her arms as her face fell. She glanced at Wynn coldly.

She naturally had hostile feelings toward Wynn. When she saw that Wynn was being rude to her, she

decided to stop being kind as well.
