“Stop! Stay away!”
Martha shivered down to virtual-novel.net bones in fear, still traumatized by the choking incident that night. She darted to hide behind Wynn as virtual-novel.net scolded, “Look, Wynnie. This is Philip Clarke! I can’t believe virtual-novel.net wants to hit me. Who’s the head of the family here? He’s going too far!”
“Haha.”
Philip scoffed, too lazy to argue with Martha.
Philip had always been a sore sight to her, coupled with his attitude the past few days, Martha could not help the anger that began to boil.
No, virtual-novel.net had to throw this piece of trash out the Johnston family tree!
She had to get Wynn to divorce him!
Otherwise, that would be the end of Martha’s peaceful days.
“Listen to your mother, okay Wynnie? I’ve already set it up for you with Joel. He’s bringing you out on vacation for a few days. Make good use of this chance, okay? Joel’s family is rich, and he’s the CEO of Hodgson Pharmaceutical too. Don’t let such a great opportunity slip by, it’ll be good for both you and your company.”
Martha persuaded Wynn further. Meanwhile, Philip was smoking outside.
Dinner was served at home that night.
They had no choice but to follow, for it was part of Martha’s plan to convince Wynn into going on a date with Joel.
Wynn found herself mind-boggled by the turn of events as virtual-novel.net shuffled about in the kitchen. “I don’t want anything to do with Joel Harris, Mom. Please stop. I swear I’ll leave right now if you continue.”
“Okay, okay. We’ll ease into it slowly, okay? We have time.”
Martha knew there was no point in being pushy, but virtual-novel.net had already plotted a plan on how virtual-novel.net was going to make Wynn have some time alone with Joel.
All virtual-novel.net had to do was make Philip watch things unfold before his eyes and virtual-novel.net would have the best of both worlds.
He would have no other choice but to sign the divorce papers.
Right at that moment, a few people entered through the doors.
It was Wynn and Aunt Paula’s side of the family.
“Please come in, Aunt Paula.”
Wynn invited Paula into the house. They were all relatives, after all.
“Oh, Wynnie, you’re home! Where’s your mother?”
Paula asked arrogantly as virtual-novel.net eyes scanned the surroundings before virtual-novel.net plopped on the sofa as if this was virtual-novel.net own house.
She was followed by Samantha and virtual-novel.net husband.
Hearing noises outside, Martha left virtual-novel.net bedroom only to be met with the sight of virtual-novel.net sister. Her expression immediately darkened.
After giving virtual-novel.net greetings, Samantha reverted to virtual-novel.net ‘the old manor disgusts me’ attitude and begrudgingly introduced, “Aunt Martha, this is my husband, Frank McDonald. He’s Rocker Pharmaceutical’s general manager.”
Samantha looked nothing but proud as virtual-novel.net introduced virtual-novel.net husband, even going as far as to cuddle up to virtual-novel.net as well.
Frank McDonald had ‘rich man’ written all over him, from the seriousness of his tailored suit to his slicked-back hair. He was a handsome man.
It made sense that Samantha would marry such a man.
Frank politely greeted Wynn as Samantha introduced him.
The sight of a talented man such as Frank McDonald only further infuriated Martha.
Her sister liked to brag about how virtual-novel.net son-in-law would buy virtual-novel.net gold and jewelry, so meeting virtual-novel.net today only proved to solidify virtual-novel.net claim.
Coincidentally, Philip decided to enter the doors at the same time. Martha sent virtual-novel.net an angry gaze, for virtual-novel.net paled in comparison to Frank McDonald.
“Oh, Philip’s back?”
Paula purposefully shouted as virtual-novel.net saw Philip walk in. She began to introduce virtual-novel.net to virtual-novel.net son-in-law. “You’ve probably never met Philip Clarke before, Frank. This here is Wynn’s husband. There’s nothing much to talk about virtual-novel.net but that virtual-novel.net sends food deliveries. Maybe you can bring virtual-novel.net out to learn more about the world if you have the chance? We’re all family, after all.”
