Chief Heir Officer novel Chapter 230

When Wynn arrived at the entrance, she did not go in immediately. Instead, she looked at Philip anxiously and said, “Philip, something must be wrong judging by the way mom asked us to come home. If she yells at you or hits you, you… you can fight back.”

Wynn was feeling helpless toward her mother’s unreasonableness. Before this, she would close one eye to the abuse Martha inflicted on Philip because she was still contemplating whether she wanted to divorce him or not.

However, it was different now. Wynn had started to feel a long lost love between her and Philip.

Philip was taken aback. He shook his head and said, “it’s fine. Your mom is my mom. I won’t lose anything from the insults or punches.”

Wynn looked at Philip. Her eyes were twinkling under the moonlight.

Out of the blue.

She tiptoed and kissed Philip on the lips. Then, she backed away quickly.

“Stop overthinking. That’s your reward that I’m giving you in advance,” Wynn said while blushing. Shortly after, she made her way into the yard and knocked on the door.

The four of them sat inside the living room.

Martha was fuming. She asked Philip in an interrogative tone, “Philip, your father, me, and Wynn are all here. You should tell us the truth. Who was that vixen this morning? Is she your mistress?”

Mistress?

All of a sudden, there was dead silence in the room.

Wynn’s reaction was the most genuine as she looked at Philip in disbelief.

Had he been having an external affair?

Charles only knew what Martha was trying to do now. He got up and angrily pointed at Philip with burning rage in his chest. He roared, “Philip, do you have a mistress outside of this family?”

How dare his useless son-in-law do something so utterly heartless?

How would he face his neighbors if word got out?

What would happen to his daughter, Wynn?

Philip knew that it was coming, so, he explained, “Mom, you’re mistaken. She’s not my mistress.”

Martha was still unconvinced. She continued angrily, “Then tell everyone in the room who that woman was. How did she know you and why can’t you pay her back for what you did?”

Philip looked at Wynn helplessly and asked Martha, “Mom, do you really want to know?”

“Rubbish! Tell us now. If you don’t give us an appropriate explanation, you should divorce Wynn! Leave the marriage with nothing!”

Martha looked at Philip with a grim look on her face as she snorted.

The guy in front of her had enough money to pay for the stupid vase. So, he had to have a secret stash of money!

Martha would not let him go so easily until she had taken everything from him.

After pondering for a while, Philip said calmly, “She’s Miss Sommerset, the one who sent you all those gifts.”

Crack!

Martha’s words became stuck in her throat. What? Miss Sommerset?

No way!

“What nonsense are you spewing?” Martha’s face was in disbelief.

“Martha, I’ve constantly endured your torment because you’re an elder to me. However, you’ve been an intolerable bully!”

Philip said coldly and swung his hand.

Martha was stunned. Philip had never spoken to her like this before.

Was he crazy?

Martha was seething. How dare he disrespect her in front of everyone?

It was her home, and she was his mother-in-law. What status did she have considering the fact that Philip dared to talk to her like that?

“Philip, are you insane? Is that how you’re going to speak to me? Do you even respect me as your mother-in-law?” Martha glared at Philip angrily.

Nevertheless, Philip ignored her and walked away after taking a call.

It was from Theo. He told Philip that Monkey from Yates Village had contacted him.

“M-Mr. Clarke, I’m Monkey. I have something urgent to tell you,” Monkey sounded extremely anxious over the phone.

“Tell me. What happened?” Philip asked calmly.

“Mr. Clarke, you have to watch out for Eric. He brought a few men to the city to look for your wife,” Monkey said anxiously.

Eric was in town?

He had come for Wynn?

What was the guy planning to do?
