Chapter 356

“Now that we know, Aunt Martha, he’s easy to deal with. Just a piece of trash, right? I’ll call someone toget rid of him.”

Seating himself back on the chair, Joel pulled out his cell phone and dialed, “Hello? Wolf? Where’reyou now? I need your help with something. Can you help me teach this guy a lesson? I don’t care, youcan break his legs…”

Saying so, he turned to lock eyes with Martha who showed no hints of opposition.

Martha seemed to hate Philip to the bone.

Ah well, clashes between the mother and son-in-law meant it would be sooner or later before Wynndivorced Philip.

By then, it would not take him too much effort before Wynn became his.

After the call, Martha happily ate at the meal as she discussed with Joel Harris how best to pursueWynn.

“Listen to your Aunt Martha, Joel. Come over tomorrow. I’ll make sure to call Wynnie over too. Then,you bring her out to play. Nurture your feelings and I’m sure it’ll only be a matter of time before you gettogether again. The two of you were close in high school, right? I’m sure it won’t take too long thistime.”

Martha said knowingly just before she took her leave.

Joel was thrilled to say the least, for he had not expected Martha to help him so much along the way.However, how Philip survived these three years with such a materialistic mother-in-law, Joel had noidea.

“I understand, Aunt Martha. I’ll book tickets for the Maldives today, and I’ll go over to your housetomorrow. Please put in a good word for me.”

Joel smiled as he sent Martha back to the Old Johnston Manor contentedly.

Setting foot home, Martha began to plot.

She dialed repeatedly until Wynn answered the phone. “Quickly come home, Wynnie, I have things toask you.”

She was in a good mood, especially so when Joel told her of the one billion yuan investment made bythe Capital City’s Clarke Group to Wynn’s company. Delighted was an understatement to the euphoricrush she felt.

‘One billion!

‘All to my daughter’s company. That means my daughter has a net worth of over a billion yuan, right?

‘I’ve become part of the nouveau riche!

‘Oh, but who is this Capital City Group’s young master? It can’t be, right? That this rich man has hiseyes on my daughter?’

Naturally, Martha shared her speculations with Charles. Her hands shook in anticipation as she dronedon and on, “Charlie, do you think this Clarke Group’s young master fancies our little Wynnie? Why elsewould he invest in her company, right? According to Joel, this Clarke Group is one of Capital City’smonopolists! They’re worth hundreds of billions!”

Entertained by his pet bird, Charles paid Martha no heed. “You can’t possibly have your eyes on thisyoung master from the Clarke Group now, can you? Give it up, or do you want to get beaten up again?”

Furious, Martha berated, “What do you know? Who do you think I’m doing this for? Myself? All I want isfor my daughter to marry into a good home so she can enjoy the rest of her life in peace.”

Charles could only shake his head dejectedly and did not respond.

Wynn arrived not too long later with Philip in tow.

Mainly because Philip could not replace it in him to let down his weariness, for he feared that Martha mighthave another trick up her sleeve.

Martha began to feel guilty and afraid when she saw Philip. Too afraid to make direct eye contact, sheinstead murmured condemnations under her breath.

Despite not being able to hear her, Philip could vaguely tell that Martha was criticizing him.

Philip huffed weakly. ‘Martha really needed to be beaten up first before she would change her attitude.’

“Hey, Mom. What’s up?”

Wynn did not want to stay in this house any longer than necessary.

“Wynnie, did your company receive a one billion yuan investment from a young master of Capital City’sClarke Group?”

Martha asked as she tugged on Wynn’s hand.

“Yeah. How did you know?” Wynn asked curiously.

“How I know doesn’t matter, but do you know this Clarke Group’s young master?”

In an envious tone, Martha sounded more excited the more she pressed on. “What’s your relationshipwith this Young Master Clarke? He likes you, doesn’t he? Are you hiding something from your mother?Bring him home for dinner, if that’s the case. Introduce us.”

Martha stared expectantly.

“Mom, what are you talking about? I don’t know this Mr. Clarke at all. Stop meddling, it’s just a businessrelationship.”

Wynn had enough with how her own mother was more of a busybody than gossipy young maidens.

Standing beside Wynn, Philip seemed to have grasped a hold of the situation. Martha must have hereyes on this Young Master Clarke the moment she knew of the investment made by Capital City’sClarke Group.

How would she react if she found out that this mysterious Young Master Clarke was standing here rightbefore her?

“What are you laughing goofily about? Get out!”

Taking notice of Philip chuckling coldly by the side, Martha felt a surge of unease as she rolled hereyes.

Shaking his head hopelessly, Philip stood out and proclaimed, “I can tell you who this Young Master ofthe Clarke Group from Capital City is.”

Enough hiding. It was time to come clean!
