Philip turned around and saw his mother-in-law approaching virtual-novel.net with a confused expression on virtual-novel.net face. Her eyebrows were twisted into a deep frown, and virtual-novel.net looked extremely unhappy.
At this moment, Martha simply could not hide virtual-novel.net contempt for Philip.
The two ladies next to virtual-novel.net were elegantly and luxuriously dressed. One of them was Martha’s sister, Paula. Philip did not recognize the other person as it was the first time virtual-novel.net met her, but from virtual-novel.net looks and appearance, virtual-novel.net was from no ordinary family.
Since both Martha and Paula were trying their best to please the other party, it was conceivable that virtual-novel.net identity was quite special.
“What are you doing here?”
Martha was quite surprised to run into Philip here, but virtual-novel.net was even more upset to see him.
She had finally begged Paula to introduce virtual-novel.net to a distant branch relative of the Longford family to bring them for a look at the villas in Longford Park.
However, they ran into this useless son-in-law of hers. If the other party found out about it, would that not be embarrassing?
“I…”
Philip initially wanted to say that virtual-novel.net was about to head to the hospital. He was also carrying food in his hands.
Paula beat virtual-novel.net to it and said instead, “Martha, can’t you see? He’s doing a delivery. Look at what he’s carrying in his hands.”
Paula ridiculed Philip whenever virtual-novel.net had the chance. This way, Martha would be embarrassed too.
Martha took a second look when virtual-novel.net heard that, and sudden anger welled up in her. This useless son-in-law of hers was really good at putting virtual-novel.net in a tight spot.
Why did virtual-novel.net choose to make a delivery in front of her?
On top of that, it was in front of Madam Sears too. Where was virtual-novel.net going to put virtual-novel.net dignity?
Sure enough, the graceful and luxuriously-dressed woman with a shawl over virtual-novel.net shoulders raised virtual-novel.net hand and placed it under virtual-novel.net nose. She frowned and pretended to cough a few times before saying, “What is that smell? It stinks. Martha, is this poor fellow your useless son-in-law?”
This woman was Barb Sears, the younger sister of Nancy Sears who was wife to Stephan Longfor, son of the sixth wife. Stephan was a member of the third generation of the Longford family.
Relying on the power of the Longford family, Barb had been acting all high and mighty all these years and even managed to marry into a well to do family.
Looking at Martha’s son-in-law now, his clothes were clean but ordinary.
It turned out that virtual-novel.net was nothing but a poor delivery boy. No wonder Paula mentioned before they came over that Martha had a useless son-in-law. If a man like this was seen with a food delivery package in his hands, what else could it be? Of course, virtual-novel.net was here to deliver food. He obviously would not be living here!
This villa area was built by virtual-novel.net sister’s husband and was a property of the Longford family.
Barb frowned as virtual-novel.net scrutinized Philip. As expected, virtual-novel.net was a low-class member of society and looked the part too. No wonder virtual-novel.net could only deliver food.
Poor boy.
Martha was furious now. She stared at Philip and kept winking virtual-novel.net eyes, signaling for virtual-novel.net to get lost.
Why did this wimp not possess any foresight? Did virtual-novel.net not notice the contempt in their eyes?
Why did such a good daughter of hers marry such a worthless wretch?
The three middle-aged women did not say anything but simply stood there with Philip.
Philip wanted to leave too, especially since Theo’s Maybach was parked at the side and Tiger was waiting for virtual-novel.net by the car.
If not for Philip’s signal, Tiger would have approached them already.
“Okay, hurry up with your delivery, then.” Martha could not stand it any longer and motioned for Philip to get lost.
To be honest, if not for Barb’s presence, Martha would have slapped Philip on the face already.
When virtual-novel.net recalled the last time at home when Philip had bragged to Paula about buying a house, virtual-novel.net headache returned.
If not for that matter, virtual-novel.net would never have begged for Paula’s help to contact some people for some discounts on a villa purchase.
Philip was also vexed and suddenly said, “Mom, about the villa, I’ve really bought it. Look, this is…”
When Martha heard Philip addressing virtual-novel.net as his mother, virtual-novel.net felt uncomfortable all over and said coldly, “That’s enough already! Stop talking. When are you going to stop bragging? Do you want to say that you bought a villa in Longford Park? Do you know how expensive the villas here are?”
This Philip was really too dense. Why did virtual-novel.net mention this matter now? It was so embarrassing.
Barb was puzzled when virtual-novel.net heard this. She turned to Martha and sneered. “What’s going on here?”
Martha was just an ordinary woman, but virtual-novel.net had a vicious mouth. She was a little mean and money-minded, yet cowardly too.
When virtual-novel.net heard the change in Barb’s tone, virtual-novel.net immediately explained in a humble manner, “Madam Sears, don’t listen to him. He’s not right in the head.”
However, Paula taunted. “Martha, this is your fault. When I was at your house last time, Philip did mention that virtual-novel.net had bought a villa. Listening to virtual-novel.net now, did virtual-novel.net buy one at Longford Park?”
Mockery and sarcasm.
It was too obvious.
