Chief Heir Officer novel Chapter 253

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 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.
