F*ck!
Where did Wynn come from?
Suddenly nervous, cold sweat began to form on his forehead as Philip hung up the call and smiled. “Wynnie! What’re you doing out here?”
Handing Philip his breakfast, Wynn stared amusedly at virtual-novel.net husband who had begun to profusely perspire. Crossing virtual-novel.net arms and virtual-novel.net legs, virtual-novel.net stared at Philip with mock arrogance and asked, “So, what’s this about 100 billion and 70% of the world’s wealth again?”
Philip was nervous as virtual-novel.net fumbled with his hands, not knowing where to put them.
‘Oh no!
‘Could this be the end of the lie?’
Philip stood up. “Okay. I’ll tell you the truth!”
Strongly gripping onto Wynn’s shoulders, Philip’s eyes shone with overzealous excitement. “Wynnie. I, Philip Clarke, am actually one of the richest heirs in the world. My family is very rich and very powerful, and I’m given an allowance of 100 billion!”
‘What?’
Wynn was stunned. She was blinking confoundedly at virtual-novel.net before virtual-novel.net blank stares turned into fuming glares. “What on earth! Stop kidding around, it’s not funny.”
How could virtual-novel.net believe that? Placing virtual-novel.net hand on Philip’s forehead before touching virtual-novel.net own, Wynn murmured, “You’re not burning up either. What’s with all the bullsh*t so early in the morning?
“Nevermind. Take care of Mila today, I still have work to do. The company needs me to deal with a contract with some pharmaceutical factory.”
With that, Wynn turned to leave. However, virtual-novel.net turned back around after a few steps to glare at Philip and gently reminded. “Eat your breakfast.”
Chuckling foolheartedly, Philip’s hand went to scratch the back of his head. “Got it. Be careful, okay?”
After watching Wynn leave, Philip finally let out a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness for his fast reflexes, or that would truly have been the end of his lie.
Thank goodness no one believed the truth.
Finishing his hearty breakfast, Philip spent a while playing with Mila before a call from Martha pulled virtual-novel.net away.
He had no idea what his mother-in-law’s intentions were, for virtual-novel.net had not said anything in the call.
Taking a detour to Northern Sky first, Philip then drove his Ferrari toward the Old Johnston Manor.
Of course, instead of parking at the entrance, virtual-novel.net opted for a car park around the area.
After bringing the car to a stop, virtual-novel.net walked his way to the Old Johnston Manor.
At the same time, Lynn Johnston was happily shopping with virtual-novel.net classmates at a nearby mall.
From afar, Lynn’s jaw dropped when virtual-novel.net saw Philip alight the Ferrari.
‘Holy sh*t!
‘Philip driving a Ferrari?
‘Or am I mistaken?’
“Lynn? What’s wrong? What’re you looking at?” asked a girl with pigtails whose sharp canines peeked out as virtual-novel.net spoke. The girl had a cute pink school bag hitched on virtual-novel.net back and was wearing white stockings on virtual-novel.net legs.
Lynn hugged herself and frowned. “I have a few things to do, so you guys might want to go ahead first. I’ll come and look for you guys again tomorrow!”
The boys and girls had no qualms, so they all went their own ways.
With that, Lynn walked toward the Ferrari and turned virtual-novel.net back toward it after taking a few good looks around. Pouting virtual-novel.net lips, virtual-novel.net took a cute looking selfie and posted it to flaunt on virtual-novel.net WeChat Moments.
‘My boyfriend’s new Ferrari! Suck it, guys!’
Satisfied with virtual-novel.net post, Lynn sat virtual-novel.net butt down on the engine and began to play with virtual-novel.net phone.
On the other end, Philip had arrived at the Old Johnston Manor. After entering the doors, virtual-novel.net found Martha Yates and Aunt Paula chatting with each other.
“Martha, I don’t want to be the devil’s advocate here, but how do you plan to buy the hillside villa with the little money you have? Impossible! They’ve even increased the price now. You’ll need at least 15 million!”
Paula sat on the sofa, virtual-novel.net eyebrow twitching extravagantly. Beside virtual-novel.net was an LV handbag while virtual-novel.net wrist was donned with expensive jewelry.
Martha laughed dryly. “Who said anything about buying the villa, Sister? I don’t have that money.”
Martha was pissed ever since the moment virtual-novel.net heard about the price inflating to 15 million.
Especially since virtual-novel.net sister had come all the way here to laugh in virtual-novel.net face, even bringing virtual-novel.net son-in-law over to flaunt as well. Martha was infuriated.
“Oh? Still trying to lie to your sister, are you, Martha? The hillside villa you had your eyes on belongs to my son-in-law’s company. So I knew the moment you asked about the villa.”
Arrogance oozed out of Paula in waves.
Paula had long known about the incident involving Martha asking about the hillside villa and getting hit for it.
She had anxiously rushed back to check on virtual-novel.net sister and perhaps make fun of virtual-novel.net a little as well. She had only heard the first half of the story and was completely oblivious as to what happened afterward.
The fact that virtual-novel.net sister knew about it made Martha feel as if virtual-novel.net had lost all dignity. When virtual-novel.net saw Philip enter the room, virtual-novel.net unleashed virtual-novel.net fury on him. “What are you doing there? Go get me a new pot of water.”
Philip had no other choice but to hum a sound of affirmation before virtual-novel.net left to boil a new pot of water in the kitchen.
