Chapter 336

Wynn could no longer stand it. Hence, she grabbed Anne and asked, “Annie, tell me the truth, whathappened in the hospital? Why did my mother hit you, and why did Philip hit my mother?”

Anne lowered her head, and Martha glared at her deviously.

Anne then saw Philip hinting at her with his eyes. Nevertheless, she could not hold it in anymore. Thus,she clenched her fists and pointed at Martha as she said, “It was her. She beat Mila. I couldn’t stand itso I went over and argued with her. Then, she started attacking me. Mr. Philip slapped her twicebecause he wanted to stand up for me.”

Twice?

Wynn was puzzled. She looked at the bruises on her mother’s face. Had they all been caused by twoslaps?

There had to be something more behind it.

Nonetheless, Wynn did not care anymore. That was because Anne said that her mother had beatenMila!

It infuriated her. “Mom, why did you beat Mila? Isn’t Mila your granddaughter?”

Wynn started to cry out of anger. Her mother had never liked Mila. However, this time, she had becomeso aggravated as to start beating Mila.

When Charles heard this, he felt helpless.

The truth had finally come out. His wife had done something stupid again.

When Martha heard Anne’s words, she could no longer hold it in. Immediately, she started yelling andmaking an unreasonable scene, “What do you know? This little wh*re is Philip’s mistress! I caught themin the act, so she has begun spewing nonsense. Well, well, you adulterous swine, you two have beencolluding with one another ever since the beginning, huh?”

Martha refused to admit her fault and thus started to frame them by hurling all kinds of nasty things.

Anne started to cry out of anger the moment she heard that. How could she endure being insulted bythe evil Martha who was pointing at her and calling her a b*tch and a cheap wh*re?

Anne started to break down and began sobbing on the spot.

Then, out of the blue, Anne took out the one thousand bucks she had previously received from herpocket. Looking extremely wronged, Anne, whose eyes were red, stuffed it into Philip’s hand. She said,“Mr. Philip, Miss Wynn, I’m leaving. I’m here to resign. Here’s one thousand bucks. Thank you forhaving taken care of me, Mr. Philip, Miss Wynn.”

After saying that, Anne covered her face and ran out of the house.

“Annie?”

Wynn shouted anxiously and then glared at Martha angrily.

Martha was still shrieking and shouting angrily, “Look at that immoral couple. Philip, how dare you! Howdare you give money to that little wh*re! Tell us, how much money did you give her behind our backs?”

Philip felt extremely helpless toward Martha’s unreasonableness and irrationality.

“Shut up! Do you want me to play the security footage of the hospital’s surveillance camera to showeveryone what you did? How old are you? You’re so unreasonable. If you weren’t my mother-in-law, Iwould have hit you sooner!”

Philip said in an icy tone before leaving the house.

On the other hand, Wynn looked at Martha coldly. She was still unmoved.

“Mom, I regret having you as my mother.”

Wynn stomped her foot and left the old Johnston Manor.

This time, Martha was beyond furious. She sat on the ground and started throwing a tantrum.Consequently, she kicked Charles who was standing next to her and said, “Johnston, they’re yourwonderful son-in-law and great daughter! How dare you not stand up for me? Look at how that piece oftrash was behaving just now! He even wanted to hit me! Look at the bruises on my face! He was theone who caused them! He was!”

“You’re… impervious to reason!”

Charles was so mad that his scalp felt numb. He had not expected Martha to be so irrational.

Meanwhile, Philip chased Anne out of the house and grabbed hold of her hand. He kept on apologizingto her as he said, “I’m sorry, Annie. My mother-in-law is like that, so please don’t take it to heart. Also,please take the money back. I don’t accept your resignation because Mila likes you. I promise you thatmy mother-in-law will never bully you again.”

Wynn had chased Anne out of the house as well. She grabbed Anne’s hand and said something thatfinally convinced her.

After settling the matter at hand, Philip and Wynn came to a garden. Wynn followed Philip from behindand hesitated for a long while before finally grabbing him and apologizing, “Philip, I’m sorry. I apologizeon my mother’s behalf.”

Philip was still mad as he said, “Your mother really is something else. She did beat Mila. However,even if she doesn’t like Mila, Mila is still my daughter. I won’t let anyone bully her.”

Wynn understood what Philip meant. She held him tightly and said, “I understand. I will handle thematter properly. Don’t worry.”

The two of them did not say anything else that night. The next day, after Wynn went to work, Philipreturned to the old Johnston Manor.

The moment he stepped foot in the house, Martha became enraged. She threw something at him andyelled, “What are you doing here? Get out!”

Philip did not want to entertain her. He asked coldly, “Tell me, who attacked you?”

Martha was startled. Nevertheless, she furrowed her brows in confusion and said, “Why? Do you wantto show what you’re capable of? Look at yourself. Are you even capable of doing anything?”

Philip was only a piece of trash. What could he do? It would be great if he could keep himself out oftrouble.
