However, the only response virtual-novel.net got was a kick!
Philip kicked Martha cruelly until virtual-novel.net stumbled. Then, virtual-novel.net shouted grimly, “Martha Yates, don’t think too highly of yourself! You’re not worth anything in my eyes!”
Martha got a fright. She did not expect Philip to make a move.
She was both frightened and resentful as virtual-novel.net cursed, “You dare to hit me? I’ll report you!”
Smack!
Her response was another slap, and another seven or eight slaps in a row!
Philip went straight up to her, pulled Martha’s hair, and dragged virtual-novel.net outside the villa as if virtual-novel.net was dragging a dead dog, saying, “You still have 50 minutes. I hope you know what to do. If I don’t see Anne Foster back by then, we’ll settle all your past mistakes in one go!”
Frost!
Wrath!
Martha truly felt the changes in Philip at this moment.
She was scared and felt guilty, so virtual-novel.net begged for mercy, “Don’t hit me anymore. I’ll go. I’ll go now.”
After Martha exclaimed miserably, virtual-novel.net tidied herself up with virtual-novel.net face flushed. She stood up shakily and ran out hurriedly.
About half an hour later, Martha, with virtual-novel.net face full of bruises, got Anne to return with her.
“Mr. Philip.”
Anne’s face was obviously injured and virtual-novel.net dared not look directly at Philip.
Philip glanced at virtual-novel.net and immediately understood what happened. He glared at Martha and shouted, “You did this?”
Martha was like a quail right now. She cowered away and glanced furtively around before explaining, “I… I accidentally hit her…”
“Apologize,” Philip said stoically.
“You want me to apologize to her?”
When Martha heard this, virtual-novel.net sprang up like a hissy cat.
However, as soon as virtual-novel.net saw Philip’s cold gaze, virtual-novel.net relented and quickly bowed to apologize to Anne, “I… I’m sorry.”
To be honest, Martha was still unwilling to concede.
She was such a person—Competitive, reluctant to admit defeat, and petty.
She was a villain through and through.
Damn Anne Foster and Philip Clarke! They should just wait! She would make them pay for it!
After apologizing, Martha turned around and left.
Philip ignored her, turned to Anne, and said while smiling, “It’s okay. I’m here.”
Anne sobbed. She was beaten and scolded by Martha yesterday. She even had to listen to Martha’s words that were full of insults. As a result, virtual-novel.net lost virtual-novel.net temper and left.
Martha went out and found virtual-novel.net old friends to complain about what happened.
It was also at this time that Philip’s phone rang. It was a text message from Cynthia asking virtual-novel.net out for a drink at Icy Bar.
After thinking about it, virtual-novel.net spoke a few words to Anne before virtual-novel.net hailed a cab and headed toward Icy Bar.
The bar was a good place. Every sleepless night, countless young men and women came here to vent their unhappiness and inexhaustible energy.
Moreover, men and women would often act out of character under the strong influence of alcohol, but no one would pay any heed as they faced their true selves.
As soon as Philip appeared at the entrance, virtual-novel.net saw half-naked men and women on the dance floor shaking around as if venting their frustrations. Their bodies were stained with sweat and alcohol.
Philip casually found a seat and ordered a special cocktail.
After taking a sip, virtual-novel.net realized that this concoction was very different from other drinks.
It was bitter with a tinge of sweet aftertaste, stimulating the throat. It was spicy and cold!
Sitting here and drinking, Philip’s handsome appearance naturally attracted the attention of many women.
A woman who just came back from the dance floor and was sweating profusely walked up to him. She was wearing a black strapped top and ultrashort hot pants. She sat on his lap directly and said coyly, “Pretty boy, want a date? Just for tonight.”
“Haha, I’m sorry. Are you joking?” Philip was still a relatively self-disciplined person as virtual-novel.net said with a sly smile.
The woman stared at Philip. After making sure virtual-novel.net was serious, virtual-novel.net stood up angrily and shoved virtual-novel.net contemptuously, saying, “What do you mean? A joke? Why don’t you go and die!”
After that, virtual-novel.net stomped on virtual-novel.net high heels and left.
Philip was helpless too. Was this the normal behavior of all women nowadays?
At this time, a charming voice sounded next to Philip, “Why didn’t you agree to it? It was a rare opportunity.”
