Chapter 357

“Stop! Stay away!”

Martha shivered down to her bones in fear, still traumatized by the choking incident that night. Shedarted to hide behind Wynn as she scolded, “Look, Wynnie. This is Philip Clarke! I can’t believe hewants to hit me. Who’s the head of the family here? He’s going too far!”

“Haha.”

Philip scoffed, too lazy to argue with Martha.

Philip had always been a sore sight to her, coupled with his attitude the past few days, Martha couldnot help the anger that began to boil.

No, she had to throw this piece of trash out the Johnston family tree!

She had to get Wynn to divorce him!

Otherwise, that would be the end of Martha’s peaceful days.

“Listen to your mother, okay Wynnie? I’ve already set it up for you with Joel. He’s bringing you out onvacation for a few days. Make good use of this chance, okay? Joel’s family is rich, and he’s the CEO ofHodgson Pharmaceutical too. Don’t let such a great opportunity slip by, it’ll be good for both you andyour company.”

Martha persuaded Wynn further. Meanwhile, Philip was smoking outside.

Dinner was served at home that night.

They had no choice but to follow, for it was part of Martha’s plan to convince Wynn into going on a datewith Joel.

Wynn found herself mind-boggled by the turn of events as she shuffled about in the kitchen. “I don’twant anything to do with Joel Harris, Mom. Please stop. I swear I’ll leave right now if you continue.”

“Okay, okay. We’ll ease into it slowly, okay? We have time.”

Martha knew there was no point in being pushy, but she had already plotted a plan on how she wasgoing to make Wynn have some time alone with Joel.

All she had to do was make Philip watch things unfold before his eyes and she would have the best ofboth worlds.

He would have no other choice but to sign the divorce papers.

Right at that moment, a few people entered through the doors.

It was Wynn and Aunt Paula’s side of the family.

“Please come in, Aunt Paula.”

Wynn invited Paula into the house. They were all relatives, after all.

“Oh, Wynnie, you’re home! Where’s your mother?”

Paula asked arrogantly as her eyes scanned the surroundings before she plopped on the sofa as if thiswas her own house.

She was followed by Samantha and her husband.

Hearing noises outside, Martha left her bedroom only to be met with the sight of her sister. Herexpression immediately darkened.

After giving her greetings, Samantha reverted to her ‘the old manor disgusts me’ attitude andbegrudgingly introduced, “Aunt Martha, this is my husband, Frank McDonald. He’s RockerPharmaceutical’s general manager.”

Samantha looked nothing but proud as she introduced her husband, even going as far as to cuddle upto him as well.

Frank McDonald had ‘rich man’ written all over him, from the seriousness of his tailored suit to hisslicked-back hair. He was a handsome man.

It made sense that Samantha would marry such a man.

Frank politely greeted Wynn as Samantha introduced him.

The sight of a talented man such as Frank McDonald only further infuriated Martha.

Her sister liked to brag about how her son-in-law would buy her gold and jewelry, so meeting him todayonly proved to solidify her claim.

Coincidentally, Philip decided to enter the doors at the same time. Martha sent him an angry gaze, forhe paled in comparison to Frank McDonald.

“Oh, Philip’s back?”

Paula purposefully shouted as she saw Philip walk in. She began to introduce him to her son-in-law.“You’ve probably never met Philip Clarke before, Frank. This here is Wynn’s husband. There’s nothingmuch to talk about him but that he sends food deliveries. Maybe you can bring him out to learn moreabout the world if you have the chance? We’re all family, after all.”
