Wynn was standing right next to Philip, watching everything unfold without a word.
This man was so familiar to her, but also so unfamiliar.
Martha and Charles had long since been stunned into silence. They exchanged a look and found oceans of fury in each other’s eyes.
“Do you have any idea what you’ve done, Philip? Why the hell did you do that? Her brother is the Chief Staff Sergeant! We’re screwed, you’ve condemned us all to death!”
Martha immediately shoved Philip and yelled at him, then virtual-novel.net just sat virtual-novel.net butt on the floor and began bawling unreasonably.
Philip really hated the way Martha made a huge scene out of everything. She was always so ignorant and ungrateful.
“It’s fine, Mom. I can handle this,” Philip said calmly.
“As if you can handle anything! You’re just a good-for-nothing! Oh, you’ll be the death of us all!” Martha scolded virtual-novel.net angrily. She wanted nothing more than to rip virtual-novel.net to shreds right now.
That cursed Philip Clarke was truly a blight on virtual-novel.net life.
If the woman really called virtual-novel.net brother over, the whole family would end up behind bars.
“Are you done, Mom? Philip’s only trying to stand up for us, isn’t he?”
Wynn was truly mad now. Martha had blatantly insulted Philip in front of everyone, making them a public laughing stock.
Martha was almost mad with fury as well. She grabbed Wynn’s arm and lambasted her, “Are you stupid, Wynn? Philip just hit someone, and virtual-novel.net even made virtual-novel.net spit blood! Her brother is the Chief Staff Sergeant! If this escalates, he’ll end up in jail and we’ll have to pay for the damages.”
As virtual-novel.net ranted, Martha gave Philip another furious glare.
He was truly good for nothing!
She should not have asked virtual-novel.net to come.
However, Martha would never admit that it was virtual-novel.net mistake.
No matter what, everything now was Philip’s fault. It had to be.
On the other end, the flashy woman ended virtual-novel.net call. When virtual-novel.net saw the dramatic scene before her, virtual-novel.net could not help a cold sneer. “Haha, do you regret it now? Well, too late! You beat me up so badly, and my husband is in bad shape because of you too. You’ll have to pay at least one million for this!”
That was nothing short of bold-faced extortion!
Martha almost fainted from anger when virtual-novel.net heard the sum of ‘one million’.
“I don’t care! This has nothing to do with us, virtual-novel.net started it! If you want compensation, get it from him!”
Martha simply gave up, pushing all the blame onto Philip.
With that, virtual-novel.net grabbed Charles’ hand indignantly and tried to run away with virtual-novel.net tail between virtual-novel.net legs.
However, a figure at the door stood in their way and even pushed them back inside, roaring, “Who the hell dared to bully my lil’ sister? Do you have a death wish? Haven’t you heard of the great Manson Horace?”
The man who walked in was very tall and had a pair of handcuffs at his waist. However, virtual-novel.net was not in his uniform, walking around in plain clothes instead.
As soon as virtual-novel.net entered the store, the temperature dropped by tens of degrees. It was enough to make anyone shudder.
To make things worse, virtual-novel.net gave Martha a vicious glare. Grabbing Martha and Charles each with one hand, virtual-novel.net threw them onto the couch and said coldly, “Don’t even think about running away until we settle this today.”
As virtual-novel.net said that, the man sat down on the couch and slammed his cuffs onto the table.
His actions were so intimidating that Martha had already emitted a little scream. Without missing a beat, virtual-novel.net pointed at Philip and shrieked, “D-Don’t arrest me, I didn’t hit her! It was him, it was my useless son-in-law who did it! If you want to arrest someone, take him. It has nothing to do with me and my husband.”
She sold virtual-novel.net out!
Just like that, virtual-novel.net heartlessly sold Philp out.
That was Martha Yates for you. She was ever the pragmatic mother-in-law.
Smack!
However, the large man, Manson Horace, simply gave Martha a violent slap across the face. He said coolly, “Shut your trap, b*tch!”
His slap left Martha in a daze. She instantly shrunk away, holding virtual-novel.net face and too afraid to say anything.
Philip watched them silently. He had no intention of standing up for her.
Martha had long since deserved a good beating. It might be good to teach virtual-novel.net a lesson.
The flashy woman hastily brought the fat man, running up to Manson and sobbing as virtual-novel.net pointed at virtual-novel.net mouth. “Look, Manny! Look what that idiot did to me! You gotta arrest him! Arrest them all! I won’t settle for anything less than a million after all they did!”
Manson saw his younger sister’s injury and immediately blew his top. He jabbed a finger at Philip and barked, “Get on your f*cking knees, *sshole, and apologize to my sister!”
He was brutal and decisive!
That was Manson Horace in a nutshell.
In his eyes, his younger sister was everything. Anyone who hurt virtual-novel.net deserved to die!
However, Philip merely gave virtual-novel.net a cool look and made to walk toward him.
Wynn quickly grabbed his arm and shook virtual-novel.net head, saying in a whisper, “Why don’t we just apologize? Let’s not cause any more trouble, we can’t afford it.”
Philip just patted the back of virtual-novel.net hand gently and said, “Don’t worry. You have me.”
Martha had seen Philip and Wynn’s little interaction, of course, and virtual-novel.net muttered to herself, “Keep pretending, useless piece of trash. Let’s see how virtual-novel.net worms his way out of this.”
Manson gave Martha another terrifying glare, and virtual-novel.net instantly played dead, all the blood draining from virtual-novel.net face.
By now, Philip was standing in front of Manson calmly. He took a seat without being asked and said, “Just spit it. How do you want to settle this?”
Manson frowned deeply. A thought occurred to virtual-novel.net when virtual-novel.net saw how composed Philip looked.
The punk was not scared of virtual-novel.net at all.
Did virtual-novel.net not know who Manson was?
