Chapter 317

After Wynn vomited in the restroom and washed her face, she walked out while feeling terrible. Sheforced out a smile and said, “It’s fine. I think the food I had for lunch is making me nauseous.”

Philip nodded and grunted in acknowledgment. Then, he went into the room with her.

Today, Mila was happy because her mommy and daddy were both here.

Wynn was with Mila as she talked about her work with Philip. “Let’s treat Joel a meal to thank himsomeday.”

“Why?” Philip asked in confusion.

“He was the one who asked someone for help. He told me about it. Plus, there will be otherpharmaceutical companies coming to work with us,” Wynn said. Even though she was reluctant, shedid not have a choice. After all, he did help her.

When Philip heard that, his face fell.

Joel helped her?

This idiot would really claim any credit he could. What did this have to do with him?

“Do you really think he’s the one who helped you?” Philip asked.

Wynn was taken aback. She said, “Who else could it be if not him? We were lacking 600 million bucksfor our capital chain and so many pharmaceutical companies stopped working with us. I just got anotice that Hodgson Pharmaceutical, where Joel is at, is ready to collaborate with us.”

Philip frowned. He was the one who arranged for Hodgson Pharmaceutical to work with them. The restof the pharmaceutical companies were owned by his family.

“It’s me, actually. I’m the one who helped you,” said Philip.

Wynn was shocked. She looked at Philip in confusion. Her expression changed when she said, “That’senough, Philip. I know you want to help me, but there’s no way you could’ve helped me with this.”

Philip’s face changed. Wynn said instantly, “Never mind. Let’s not talk about this anymore.”

How could Philip explain now? He could only say helplessly, “Alright.”

Wynn nodded. To be honest, she really did not want to compare Philip to Joel.

Even though Philip had changed a lot these few days, he was still defeated when she put him next toJoel.

Plus, Philip was obviously not mature enough.

Was it that important if Joel was the one who helped her?

Even though Philip could not help her, Wynn would not blame him.

With this, Wynn started to have some opinions toward Philip. She said, “Philip, I know you have somemoney now, but sometimes, you can’t help me with everything. I’m not blaming you, but I hope you’ll bemore honest with me next time. I know you’re biased against Joel about this, but he did help me at theend of the day. Can you be more magnanimous?”

Philip was annoyed. He could feel that Wynn was trying to stand up for Joel.

Philip scoffed and stood up. “Why? Are you worried about your boyfriend from senior high? If you reallywant to reminisce about your good times with him, I don’t mind. Go to him then, since you’re so surethat he’s the one who helped you.”

“Philip, what do you mean?”

Wynn’s face fell, and her beautiful eyebrows were scrunched together. It was obvious that she wasmad.

How dare he not trust her?

Was this really so important?

“What do I mean?”

Philip scoffed and said, “Your mother is waiting for us to get a divorce, and now Joel appears. Look athow happy your mother is. She wants him to be her son-in-law so badly. How wonderful it is now thathe’s here for you. Go on, then. How amazing it’ll be! He’s Master Harris, and your mom loves him. Hecan even help you with your company. Isn’t Philip Clarke just a piece of trash to all of you?”

After he said that, he exited the room angrily.

Wynn was furious too, so she did not want to chase after him.

At night, Philip and Wynn went back to the Old Johnston Manor respectively. They had been eatinghere for the past few days.

When they were eating, everyone could clearly sense that Wynn and Philip were feuding.

Martha was ecstatic. She dragged Wynn into the bedroom and mumbled, “Wynnie, did you have a fightwith Philip?”

Wynn was frustrated. She said, “No, Mom. Stop meddling in our affairs.”

How would Martha not know what her daughter was thinking? She definitely knew her own daughter.She added fuel to the fire and said, “My love, listen to me. Philip and you are not made for each other.You’ve been married for three years. Look at him now, he’s still acting like a bum. I think Joel is

wonderful. He came back for you this time. You have to take this opportunity. The Harrises is apowerful family and has a reputable enterprise. If you marry him, you’ll be Mrs. Harris. Your father and Iwill have a better future too.”

Wynn’s head was hurting. She said, “Mom, can you stop trying to make that happen? I will not divorcePhilip. There’s nothing between me and Joel too. Stop worrying, okay?”

“Sigh, how can you be so disobedient? What’s so good about Philip? He’s just a worthless fool! Canyou even have a good life with him? Look at Joel. He has a mansion and so many luxury cars. Aren’tyou taking a rock and throwing away a diamond? Listen to Mommy, replace a time to divorce Philip. Don’tbe scared. I’m here. I’ll definitely make him leave this marriage penniless!”

This guy definitely had a secret stash somewhere.

“I won’t divorce him. Stop worrying about this.”

After Wynn said that, she walked out of the bedroom.

In the living room, Philip was chatting with Charles. They were talking about antiques and enjoyingthemselves.

Philip’s father-in-law was having second thoughts about him.

When Martha saw this, she slapped Charles a few times and scolded, “Why are you having such aheated conversation with this bum? Go to bed!”

“Right Mom, I have to tell you guys something,” Wynn said suddenly. She looked at Philip andcontinued, “I’m the chairwoman of a company now. I also own 60% of the shares.”

Immediately, the room plunged into silence.
