For instance, the tea set virtual-novel.net took down from upstairs was previously given to virtual-novel.net by Anna Carter. He had completely forgotten about it and just left it at home.
How much was it?
It was a handcrafted clay tea set worth 800,000.
It could be considered an expensive gift.
Seeing Philip returning with a gift box, Martha held back and said nothing.
Amelia’s family was also there and they had only brought simple gifts with them. Those gifts were actually swiped from the villa and were things that Philip bought for Wynn, such as honey and royal jelly.
She was really thick-skinned as virtual-novel.net kept a few boxes for herself too.
Once Wynn returned, the entire family headed toward the granduncle’s house.
It was a small villa of more than 300 square meters that cost ten million.
As soon as they entered the living room, they found that almost everyone was there.
The second uncle’s family had already arrived, and some relatives were talking in full swing while complimenting each other.
However, when Philip walked in, everyone shut their mouths and looked at them with complicated expressions.
“Martha, Wynn, we’ve been waiting for you. Have a seat.”
“Wynn is really getting more beautiful. It must be quite busy at the company. You’re so thoughtful to take the time to come here.”
“Yes, I really didn’t expect our family to produce such a successful entrepreneur like Wynn.”
A group of people started to surround and flatter Wynn.
As for Philip, virtual-novel.net was completely ignored.
Of course, as Wynn’s mother, Martha also received a lot of compliments and praise. Her sitting posture and mannerisms were comparable to the queen. She had total control of the audience before her.
At the relatives’ compliments, Martha was ecstatic and kept saying that Wynn was sensible. She said nothing about Philip.
Amelia had a big mouth. As if virtual-novel.net had planned this in advance, virtual-novel.net deliberately mentioned Philip at this time with a sullen face, “Philip, why are you still standing there in a daze? Aren’t you going to serve us tea? What a useless person.”
Almost as soon as Amelia finished speaking, the eyes of all the relatives turned toward Philip gleefully.
They were aware that virtual-novel.net lived off that family, but they did not expect virtual-novel.net to take advantage by coming along too.
Wynn looked at Philip helplessly. Just as virtual-novel.net was about to get up and help him, Martha pulled virtual-novel.net down again and said, “That’s enough. Let virtual-novel.net go and do something with his hands and feet. You’re carrying a child. Don’t mess around.”
As soon as the child was mentioned, everyone started talking to Wynn enthusiastically.
Various compliments were heard.
Philip was unfazed. He walked into the kitchen and started making tea expertly.
As virtual-novel.net had been here several times and was always the one in charge of making and serving tea, virtual-novel.net was naturally familiar with it.
Very soon, the granduncle and his family came down from the second floor.
Bradford Green was still very spry. He had a son and a daughter-in-law as well as a granddaughter and a grandson-in-law. His wife had passed away a few years ago.
“Is everyone here?”
Bradford entered the hall with the support of his son and daughter-in-law. Wearing a black suit and leaning on his walking cane, virtual-novel.net sat on the main seat with a smile on his face.
A bunch of relatives also got up at this time, congratulating Bradford on his birthday. Then, they presented virtual-novel.net with their gifts.
When it got to Philip’s turn, virtual-novel.net walked up with the gift box. Seth Cross, Bradford’s grandson-in-law, sneered, “Oh, it’s a big gift from Philip. I wonder what an expensive gift it is to be so tightly wrapped? I recalled that two years ago, someone gave fruits and oatmeal.”
It was blatant ridicule and contempt.
Philip glared at Seth coldly. They had forged a grudge ages ago.
Seth Cross was a person with improper conduct. He was used to fooling around outside and was caught by Jacey Green several times.
However, virtual-novel.net always managed to deceive Jacey into forgiving virtual-novel.net using unknown methods.
“What sort of good things can virtual-novel.net give? He’s nothing but a piece of useless trash.”
“Yeah, I think the gift box only contains something worth a few hundred at most. The packaging is airtight as if it’s afraid of embarrassment.”
“Haha, I really feel sorry for Wynn, marrying such a useless thing that virtual-novel.net has to work so hard.”
The crowd started to show contemptuous sarcasm. This Philip Clarke really lived off them for the past three years.
Who said virtual-novel.net was different now?
He still looked as useless as before!
Martha was delighted. Seeing Philip being put down made virtual-novel.net very happy.
Wynn could not tolerate it. She got up and wanted to explain, but Martha held virtual-novel.net back with a stern glare.
“That’s enough. It’s my birthday today. Stop making a fuss.”
Since Old Master Bradford had spoken, everyone stopped and did not continue this topic.
Wynn found an opportunity to pull Philip aside and asked, “Are you alright? Why don’t I go home with you first? You know they still have the old impression of you. Otherwise, let me explain everything to them.”
Wynn was upset. She wanted to tell everyone that Philip was not a piece of useless trash!
Philip was better than every single one of them!
He bought the villa. His friend invested three billion in Beacon. He was also the young master of Clarke Group in Capital City!
As virtual-novel.net spoke, virtual-novel.net turned around and walked to the people talking and laughing on the other side…
