Chapter 63 Devious Man
His wife and daughter-in-law had gone out. Even his daughter had gone out. Only he and the servants were at home. Philip felt like an old child looking after the house, hence he wanted to go out and do something fun as well.
He took his time driving, wondering if he should go to his second brother’s farmhouse or third brother’s herb farm.
The car crawled like a snail to the gate, where the commotion was happening. That caught his attention.
When he saw the woman kneeling at the door and the man in the wheelchair, his relaxed expression became tensed and he froze slightly.
Upon seeing his car, the security team and the middle-aged man in the car became stern. The middle-aged man hurriedly got out of his car and walked over to Philip very carefully and respectfully.
“Mr. Lockwood.” He bowed slightly.
The man was a member of the country’s parliament and he held a pivotal position in it. Hence, he was a distinguished figure and highly regarded. In front of the Lockwood family, however, even he had to humble himself.
Philip rolled down the window and asked, “Are they here to cause trouble?”
The middle-aged man looked conflicted and answered anxiously, “Mr. Lockwood, they said that they were looking for their daughter. They said that their daughter is…”
Before the middle-aged man could finish speaking, Philip said angrily, “What daughter? That’s not their daughter at all!”
The middle-aged man heaved a sigh of relief. He knew it.
At this moment, Philip said somberly, “That’s my daughter-in-law!”
The middle-aged man instantly lost his footing and almost fell.
He looked at Philip in shock. “Mr. Lockwood, this…”
He was flabbergasted and in disbelief. How could the daughter of this scheming and money-sucking commoner marry into the Lockwood family?
Recently, there had been rumors that the chieftain of the Lockwood family, Draxton, had got married. Not only did he have a wife now, but he also a son. Despite this, the middle-aged man was still unable to relate the Chieftain’s wife of the Lockwood family to this unsightly couple in front of him!
Philip’s eyes shifted and muttered to himself, “It’s time for me to do something now!”
He was secretly delighted but got out of the car with a straight face.
With his long legs and shiny leather shoes, he strode over to the Thompson couple.
The Thompson couple widened their eyes in astound as they looked up at Philip. He had an aura far more imposing than the Lang family. Even the Rivera family was unable to hold a candle to him.
When it came to the Lang family or the Rivera family, one could immediately tell that they were wealthy. However, with this man, it was more than that. One could not help but develop a sense of reverence for him
from within.
They did not even dare to look him in the eye.
However, Philip was determined to help his daughter-in-law and win some praise from his wife.
He stood in front of the couple in an awe-inspiring manner and asked in a stern voice, “Have you come here to stir up trouble for my daughter-in-law?”
Oh, that was a good question!
The nimble reporters immediately took out their devices. They were recording, filming, and taking photographs to capture this scene,
Philip glanced at the reporters. He was secretly pleased with himself. “Hmph, go ahead and film. The more you film, the more credit I’ll get!”
Upon hearing Philip’s question, Mrs. Thompson was stunned and could not react for a moment.
Mr. Thompson, on the other hand, was so anxious that he started to move restlessly, and make choking sounds in his throat.
