Chapter 556

Why did Martha steal the card?

She had remembered something last night. When she checked the balance in the bank the previoustime, she saw that there was 100 billion in the balance!

Everyone said she was just seeing things. Even the bank said the system was faulty.

However, Martha did not believe them. She wanted to go see for herself.

At this moment, Philip was already at the hospital. He saw Mila and Anne.

Mila called him in the sweetest voice and jumped into his arms.

Philip held Mila and was beaming. His daughter was the source of his happiness. “Did you missDaddy?”

“Yeah!” Mila answered adorably and obediently.

When Anne saw the happy father and daughter, a smile appeared on her face.

“Annie, pack your things. Let’s go home,” said Philip.

On the way back to the villa, Philip got Nina’s phone call. She said she needed to see him.

After pondering for a while, Philip decided to let Anne take Mila back to the villa first. Then, he called acab to go to the office.

Philip went to a cafe. He soon saw Nina walking over while he was waiting. Her appearance attractedthe eyes of a lot of customers.

Beautiful! She was so beautiful!

Philip was leaning against the window while enjoying the soft breeze. He took a sip of his coffee andasked with a grin, “Why do you want to see me so early in the morning? Do you want to treat me to ameal for what happened last night?”

“I would treat you to a meal, but I have something else that needs your help.”

Nina hesitated for a long while before saying.

“Tell me. What’s wrong?”

Philip noticed the changes in Nina’s expression. Her brows were knitted together tightly. It could onlymean that she was nervous.

“Um… Harrison’s asking me to return him the money. He also asked to meet me this afternoon, ifnot…”

Nina wanted to continue talking, but she stopped. She looked extremely worried.

“If not what?”

“He said if I don’t return the one million to him, he’ll ask his men to harass me every day and block theentrance to my home. Also, he’ll ask his men to…”

Nina said softly. She was terrified. In the end, she was speaking inaudibly. Philip could almost guesswhat she wanted to say.

If Harrison really did that, then it would be dangerous for Nina. It was a threat!

“Hehe, are his legs healed? How dare he boast shamelessly! He’s just trying to scare a young womanlike you,” Philip said while chuckling coldly.

“What should I do? I’m scared. Should I just return the money to him? It belongs to him, after all.”

Nina said worriedly. She was a young woman in her prime. She had never experienced this kind ofthing before. She would only scream when she ran into thugs.

“Return the money to him? No way. This money is his compensation to you. He’ll have to ask for mypermission if he wants it back!”

Philip said sternly.

“Ah, what do you mean?”

Nina was confused. She had asked Philip out to ask for his opinions.

“It’s simple. Didn’t he ask you to meet him this afternoon? I’ll go with you. That way, you’ll be more atease.”

Philip smiled and said, “You have to be aggressive when you’re dealing with a person like him. Youhave to kill his authority so that he knows we’re not cowards.”

Nina was very bashful. It was as if she was still considering what Philip said.

Philip comforted. “It’s fine. I’m here, so you’ll be fine.”

Nina finally smiled slightly. She nodded and said, “I’ll listen to you, then.”

The two of them smiled while looking at each other.

Philip lamented. It was as if this young woman had gotten bigger. Amazing! What did she eat when shewas growing up?

It was feast or famine.

Nina noticed Philip’s gaze. She scolded bashfully, “What are you looking at?”

“N-Nothing. I’m just curious.”

Philip scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.

“Curious?”

Nina tilted her head. She looked like a curious little girl.

Philip smiled and pointed at Nina. He asked, “I’m curious about your spider tattoo. If I’m remembering itcorrectly, I’ve seen this tattoo before.”

Nina lowered her head and covered her chest. She said embarrassedly, “Um…”

“It’s fine. You don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to.”

Philip smiled. His gaze got more intense.

At the same time, Martha was at the bank. She took out the card and went to the counter. She said,“Miss, help me check how much money is in this card.”

After she entered the pin, Martha asked anxiously, “Did you manage to check it? How much?”

After the woman behind the counter went through the process and looked at the computer screen, hereyes widened. She looked at Martha in disbelief and said, “Madam, your card…”
