Amelia hit him playfully and teased, saying, “Silly you. You’re Charles’ brother. Do you think they can chase you away? If they really do, we’ll just kick up a big fuss and let the entire neighborhood know. In the end, they’ll lose their dignity. So, how about it?”
Bernard hesitated. However, when he glanced at the villa again, he said with determination, “Okay, you talk to Martha and I’ll talk to my brother.”
The two reached an agreement and rushed into the living room.
Coincidentally, Martha came out of the bedroom at this time all dressed up fashionably like a lady. She smiled as she said, “Oh, it’s Amelia and Bernard. You’re here already? Come here and have a seat. Leave your things there. I’ll get the nanny to handle it.”
Amelia knew that Martha was a very prideful person, so she quickly paid compliments, “Sister Martha, you have a nanny too? I’m so envious.”
Martha was very happy when she heard those words. She sat on the sofa in a little cloak and put on a pretentious sitting pose as if she was really a wealthy lady.
Amelia and Bernard also followed suit and the three of them started chatting.
On the side, Lynn was playing on her mobile phone, taking pictures and posting them on social media.
“By the way, Sister Martha, we met Philip at the door when he came back in a Rolls-Royce. Is your family so rich now?” Amelia asked as she nibbled on chips.
Rolls-Royce?
Martha sat up straight when she heard that.
How did that piece of trash get a Rolls-Royce?
Did Juan not say he was bankrupt?
“Oh, really?”
Martha did not want to ruin Amelia’s flattery, so she just smiled casually, but her whole face had changed.
Of course, Amelia caught the change in Martha’s expression. She pretended to exclaim in surprise, “Martha, didn’t you buy that car? I thought it belongs to your family. After all, Wynn is now the chairwoman of the company.”
Martha was just about to say something when Amelia continued, “If you didn’t buy it, could it be that Philip used the company’s money to buy it for himself? Oh dear, what’s he doing? Stealing money from the family?”
These words directly triggered Martha!
Yes, the family of that useless Philip was bankrupt now. This was the time when they needed money the most!
This guy had his sights set on Wynn’s company?
Martha immediately flew into a rage and shouted, “Philip, get down now! I have something to ask you!”
Martha stood up and slapped him. She pointed at Philip’s nose and cursed, “Philip Clarke, did you steal money from the company to buy the car? Talk! How much money did you steal from Wynnie’s company? If you don’t say anything today, I’ll call the cops to arrest you!”
Philip was stunned. He did not expect Martha to slap him so suddenly.
Steal money from the company?
Philip was livid!
“You think I bought that Rolls-Royce using money from Wynn’s company?”
Philip’s eyes were grim. His gaze swept over Martha and fell on Amelia.
“Isn’t it? Otherwise, how could a wastrel like you afford to ride in a luxury car like that?”
Amelia pursed her lips, her face full of sarcasm and contempt.
Philip did not explain but picked up his phone and dialed George’s number. He said, “Come to the villa now!”
He hung up after those words. He looked at these people solemnly and said sternly, “Get your things and be prepared to get lost from this villa!”
