Philip sighed and said, “Soon. I don’t want to make a move before going back home.” The man in the shadows said no more

before leaving. The next day, Philip returned to the villa and saw that Martha had already taken over more than half of it. She had

moved all the things from their old residence over, and she even told Philip with considerable pride, “What do you think?

I did a good job decorating the place, didn’t I?” Philip glanced around for a while and then went upstairs for a look too. He soon

realized that she had somehow turned the villa into what looked like a residential shack. She had even taken over the master

bedroom he shared with Wynn. In fact, she even moved their wedding photo to the smaller bedroom downstairs. Martha saw

how stormy his expression was when he came downstairs from the master bedroom. She immediately knew what she had done

wrong, so she snuck a glance at Charles next to her. Charles ignored her and earned a glare from her. “Move all your things out!”

Philip’s expression was dark as he glared fiercely at Martha. Martha was very reluctant to leave. The master bedroom was

luxurious and she had fallen in love with it, so there was no way she would want to leave. “No! My daughter bought this house

with her money.

Besides, are you asking me and your father to stay downstairs?” Martha said unreasonably, “Both your father and I are old, so

we should get the best room. I’m not moving!” Philip raised his eyebrows. He could not be bothered to argue with Martha, so he

said coldly, “I won’t waste my breath on you. Move your things out of my room before the end of today. If I see your things still

there when I get back, I’ll call the guards to throw you out!”

With that, Philip left without turning back. Martha was properly incensed now. “Dang it, what right does

that good-for-nothing have to be so harsh on us? What did he mean by that? Was he the one who paid

for this villa?”

Martha was really cross right now. She plopped her butt onto the couch. Her behavior was giving him a

headache. He said, “I’m telling you, you should treat Philip better from now on. Can’t you see that he’s

no longer the same good-for-nothing he used to be?” Why was this crazy woman so blind to these

things? “What do you saying now, Charles Johnston?” Martha cocked her head. She had no idea what

Charles was implying. Charles thought it over. “Think carefully. What did Philip give me for my

birthday? It was a piece of authentic work from the Tang Bohu, worth several millions!”

Martha snorted. “Tch, is that all? He just stumbled across it at an antique market somewhere.” Charles

shook his head. “I don’t think so. Think again, what did he give your father during the old man’s

seventieth birthday party?

It was a jade ring worth a hundred million, right? Do you think he found that at a market too? He just

gave it to the old man out of nowhere, without even blinking an eye.” Martha’s heart skipped a beat.

She had not thought about it before, but now that the idea was planted in her mind, her heart pounded

non-stop. What was up with Philip Clarke? Charles had finally opened Martha’s eyes to the facts. He

stood up and shook his head, sighing.

“Listen to me, and be more respectful to Philip from now on, alright? Or else you’ll regret it later.”

Charles then left the villa to play chess with his friends. Martha stayed sitting on the couch, but the

more she thought about it, the more confused she became. Yeah, what was the matter with that good-

for-nothing? Could he secretly be from a wealthy family? That made no sense. If he was rich, why

would he suffer at the Johnstons’ for three years?

No, she had to find out more about his actual background. That afternoon, Philip was chatting with George at Apex Tower when

he received a call from Martha. “Philip, Wynn’s uncle, my cousin, is coming to Riverdale for a business meeting tonight, and he’ll

pay us a visit in the meantime. They want to invite us to dinner, do you want to join?” Martha’s tone from the other end of the

phone was slightly honeyed. She had no choice. The villa was under Philip’s name, after all. She had to butter Philip up first, pull

the wool over his eyes and find out more about his true capabilities. After that, she could remove his name from the property

deed and put her own instead!

That way, she could then do whatever she liked. “Me? Nah, I’m not going.

Say hi to them for me, just tell them that I’m busy tonight so I can’t make it.” Philip was no fool. He could tell what Martha was

planning by her tone, so he did not want to go there only to get insulted again. Besides, Wynn’s uncle and his family had always

been on bad terms with the Johnstons. That did not change even though they moved to Golden City such a long time ago. After

all, they had not met each other at all over the past two years.
