Before he could finish his sentence, Wynn’s phone rang and interrupted their conversation.
She rolled her eyes at Philip and said, “Regardless of what my Mom says, just don’t give her more
money. She’s just kicking up a fuss now. It’ll die down soon.”
With that said, Wynn stepped aside to answer the call.
Philip stared at Wynn’s back in silence and mumbled, “Forget it. Once Mila gets well, all of us will move
into our new home.”
On this day, the news about Yates’ bankruptcy intensified. Many forces and families were speculating
about the power and influence behind all of this.
The methods were too formidable!
They only found out the terrifying circumstances after detailed investigation!
Overnight!
In just one night, the Yates went bankrupt and fell from grace.
The reason turned out to be because the Yates had offended someone.
Who was that person?
It was a secret that many upper-class families and forces in Riverdale wanted to unearth.
In other words, one small move from Philip had attracted the close attention of all prominent figures
and families of Riverdale.
Philip stayed in the hospital until the afternoon before he left. During that time, Martha made numerous
calls to him, demanding his return to the old manor.
Wynn had to go to work. She was busy handling the cooperation between Beacon and Turner’s
Second Hospital.
Therefore, the affairs at the hospital were temporarily handed over to Agnes.
Philip hailed a cab and returned to the old manor. Martha sat in the living room with several business
cards in front of her as well as real estate information.
As soon as Philip stepped in, Martha immediately served him tea with a flattering smile. “Philip, here,
sit down quickly. I just washed the grapes. Try them.”
Philip was taken aback. It was the first time he felt some enthusiasm from his unreasonable mother-in-
law.
It was petrifying.
“Mom, just tell me what you want to say. I’m not used to you being like this,” Philip said pensively.
Charles, who was pretending to read the newspaper at the side, could not help but smile.
Philip could tell that his wife was up to something.
Martha was quite embarrassed about being pointed out like this. She glared at Charles before turning
her attention back to Philip.
What was wrong with this good-for-nothing to actually refuse her kind gesture of serving him tea and
fruits.
Sure enough, a wimp would never enjoy a good life.
“Okay then, let’s drop the pretenses. Give me 500,000 bucks. I want to buy a villa. If you can’t get the
money, you can sell off the house you’re currently staying in.”
Martha sat rigidly and said directly, “Of course, we’ll leave you and Wynn one room in the new villa. You
don’t have to worry about that. But, we need to set rules in advance. In the villa, I have the final say.
You’re responsible for the laundry and housework. You need to make sure the house is clean both
inside and out. Also, I might invite my friends over for mahjong or something, and you have to wait on
them and make sure you don’t embarrass me. Do you understand?”
Martha said each rule meticulously, the smile on her face growing brighter the more she explained.
It was as if she had already bought the villa.
Charles shook his head helplessly and sighed, “I’ll go out for a walk.”
Martha glared at him, aware that he was not happy. She yelled out, “Old man, you don’t have to stay
there!”
Of course, it was just a meaningless rant.
“Well, Philip, my conditions are okay, right? After all, you’re living off our family and staying in the villa I
buy, so you must listen to me,” Martha said loftily.
In fact, she was reluctant to live under the same roof with this trash son-in-law of hers, but she had no
other choice since she was still short of some money.
“Mom, there’s no need to go through so much trouble. I’ve already bought a house. Once Mila is
discharged, we’ll move in together.” Philip smiled.
Martha was startled for a moment before she retorted contemptuously, “That’s enough, Philip. Don’t
you think I know how capable you are? Can you afford a house? Even if you have some savings, how
will it ever be enough? Even if you’ve really bought one, it’s probably a kennel the size of several dozen
square meters. I won’t stay in that type of place!”
Martha would never believe Philip had bought a house.
He must be joking.
He was nothing but a useless person. After eating and drinking for free in the Johnston family for the
past three years, what else had he achieved?
Nothing.
Philip’s gaze flicked over the real estate pamphlets on the table and focused on a particular one,
Longford Park.
“Mom, this is it.” Philip laughed as he picked up the Longford Park flyer.
Immediately, Martha’s expression darkened as she admonished Philip with a furious glare, “Philip, do
you think it’s amusing to joke around like that? Are you unwilling to fork out the money? If you are, just
say the word. Stop beating around the bush!”
Philip was obviously unwilling to give her the money.
“Okay, I get it. Get lost and don’t ever enter my house again in the future! When I buy the villa, don’t
ever think you can move in either!”
Martha was very angry and started to drive Philip out of the house.
