Chapter 251
Philip ignored Martha and turned his attention to the people standing outside the house. "Do you still want to put your hands on me?" Those people exchanged looks.
When they saw Bob kneeling on the ground, they retreated without any fuss. Philip then left Old Johnston Manor with Wynn. Before that, Wynn had noticed the situation at home and asked Philip, "Philip, what did you do to Grandpa? Why is he kneeling on the ground?" Wynn surprised!
That scene was truly unbelievable! Bob is the Old Master of the Yates family! He was his grandfather, a stubborn old fogey! However, at that moment, he was kneeling on the ground, and tears could be seen flowing down his cheeks! Philip ... what exactly did he say to Old Master? Philip looked at Wynn and said, "I'll tell you next time.
Now, I'll take you to the hospital to treat the wounds on your face. If there's a scar, you won't be pretty anymore." Wynn's words got stuck in his throat.
Looking at one side of Philip's face, he wanted to ask but ended up refraining from doing so. So, he rolled his eyes instead. He could still say brazen words in this situation. Philip has changed. He's different than before.
Wynn had never experienced such a sense of security before.
It seemed Philip could now do everything. That was precisely why Wynn felt an unprecedented pressure. At the hospital, Wynn gets his wound treated before he and Philip go to accompany Mila in her ward.
Mila will have surgery the next day. Neither Wynn nor Philip fell asleep that night; both found themselves immersed in their own thoughts.
The next day, news of Yates' bankruptcy spread like wildfire and caused an uproar in Riverdale. Evidently, it became a topic that attracted many people.
The Yates family can be considered a second-class family in Riverdale. Moreover, Old Man Bob Yates used to be a senior officer in the provincial system and still has many students despite his retirement.
Nevertheless, it was the Yates family that ended up facing bankruptcy in just one night. Furthermore, the entire Yates household had left the Yates family compound overnight without leaving a single trace of their existence.
As for Bob's former students, after the incident with Yates, they suddenly and unanimously chose to keep quiet. Nothing stands out in the name of Yates. The news spread quickly like a small earthquake. Even in the hospital, many people started talking about it because the matter was already in the news.
Every company under the Yates family has declared bankruptcy.
On TV, Bob seems to have aged a dozen years overnight.
Moreover, he left in a hurry after announcing the news. "Philip, tell me, what really happened yesterday?" Wynn was shocked when he heard the news and quickly found Philip who had just returned from shopping.
He could hardly believe that the Yates extended family went bankrupt overnight. Did Philip really do that? If so, where did all that power come from? Philip knew he could not keep it a secret forever, but he was also not prepared to confess. He shook his head and said, "I don't know.
Yesterday, the Old Master received many calls and that was it. We don't even talk much." Wynn hesitated, especially when he saw Philip's sincere eyes. Therefore, he asked again suspiciously, "You really didn't do it?"
Philip grinned as he patted his nose and said, "What are you thinking.
Do I have such skills? If I did, I wouldn't have been looked down upon by your family members in the first place. " Wynn rolled her eyes and said, "I never looked down on you." Thas right.
If Philip was able to do such a thing, would he be subjected to such treatment for the past three years? Will he go this far to bear the burden of everyone's humiliation?
Wynn glared at the cheerful Philip before becoming gloomy. "Will there be any problems with Mila's surgery today?" Philip held onto Wynn's shoulder and comforted him as he said, "Don't worry, he'll be fine."
At 9 a.m., Mila was pushed into the operating room. Philip and Wynn sit outside the OR, waiting anxiously for Mila to return. After two hours of surgery, Mila managed to get out of OR safely. Professor Henry Turner took off his mask and said excitedly, "Mr. Clarke, Miss Johnston, the operation was a huge success!"
At the time of the announcement, Wynn cried and began to cry. He held Henry's hand in joy and appreciation. "Professor Turner, thank you. Thank you very much!" Henry glanced at Philip and said, "It's only my responsibility to do so.
The rest of the rehabilitation will be done according to the plan I have prepared. After four months, Mila will be able to get out of the hospital." "Thank you, Professor Turner. You've worked so hard." Philip thanks her and then sees Mila still being drugged through the ward's glass window with Wynn. Philip's eyes were full of love.
Chapter 252
"Are you relieved now?" Philip hugged Wynn's shoulder and asked. Wynn nodded and wiped his tears. He has been waiting for this day for a long time. At the same time, in Old Johnston Manor, Martha hysterically made a huge commotion.
The Yates family goes bankrupt, and Martha loses the support of her girl family. What will happen to his status in this family in the future? How will he face his neighbors whenever he goes out in the future? Especially when this issue is splattered all over the news.
This morning, she received several text messages from her friends. Their words were all filled with arrogance and sarcasm. "This evil bastard, they must have been waiting for this day! Sending fake messages to comfort me…
They just shed crocodile tears!" Martha almost went crazy from anger.
He tried calling Bob, Peter, and Samson, but the call went unanswered.
After thinking about it, he sat down on the sofa and called Paula. "Paul, what should we do? Our family is bankrupt. Will something happen to us?
Are we going to be asked to pay instead?" Martha was very confused. He's done some research. Since Yates was now bankrupt, they had to pay over a billion!
The Yates family's assets are only worth a billion, then what about the rest of its debt? Paula also sounded very nervous on the phone. "Martha, just wash your hands of this matter.
After all, our father did not give us anything back then. In his heart, he only cares about Peter and Samson, so I will not be responsible for this matter. Compensation must come from the Yates family. It has nothing to do with me.
I'd advise you to immediately sever your relationship with Peter and Samson. I heard they're still short of 200 million!" In the face of the enemy, one would choose to fly the cage.
This adage is clearly reflected in the two daughters of the Yates family. When Martha heard that there was a shortage of 200 million, she quickly said, "OK! I'll block their numbers now!" After she hangs up, Martha can't wait to block the numbers of Peter, Samson, and everyone in the Yates family.
After doing all this, he was still worried and discussed it with Charles. "Charles, let's go. We can't stay here anymore." Charles had been in a frenzy all day. His father-in-law is broke and the Yates family is devastated. As a son-in-law, his future was bleak. "Moved? Why?"
Charles's confused. Martha slapped her arm and exclaimed, "Are you stupid! My father still owes me 200 million! What if he asks us to sell the old manor and pay on his behalf? I don't care, I want to move!
Let's move tomorrow. Today, you and I will go and find a suitable place to live and sell this old house. I heard that real estate prices in this area have increased recently.
Our house is quite valuable. We can sell it for seven or eight million. This way, I will combine it with the one million that Philip gave me last time and ask for a small loan to your brother.
We can get the villa then!" Martha had it all planned out. Paula lives in the villa, so why isn't she? Charles's face was filled with unwillingness as he said,
"He's your father, after all. If he wants to borrow money, can we really refuse? Besides, why do we need a villa? 100 Square meters is more than enough."
Martha was angry when she heard that. He slapped and yelled at Charles, "You are truly a useless man, exactly the same as that useless Philip! He's mydad. If I say no, then it's not.
Hurry up and go out with me. We have to buy a villa!" After saying that, he added. "Oh yeah, call Philip. That coward must have some personal savings left. At the antiques market last time, I. He broke a small bottle and paid 100,000 dollars for it.
Don't you think he's stupid? That must be a scam." Charles felt helpless. The cards must have been stacked against him to marry such a wife. If not for the Yates family's status at first, Charles would never have married such a domineering woman!
Seeing Charles not moving, Martha personally called Philip. Soon, Philip's voice came from the phone. Martha said coldly, "Philip, if you don't want to divorce my daughter, then you should take out all your hidden personal savings.
We plan to sell the old manor and buy a villa. We are still short of a million. "By the way, you should also sell your house at this time.
Since we're going to get the villa, I'll leave the room for you." As she spoke to Philip, Martha raised her chin towards Charles triumphantly.
Philip is still in the hospital. He glanced at the still busy Wynn and moved to one side. "Mom, you want to sell the current house and move out?" "Yes.
The Yates family is broke now. What if they want to borrow money from us?
We'll move tomorrow. You and Wynn should move too." Martha's words were like a good reminder. Philip chuckled helplessly and said, "No need, ma'am. I have bought a house.
If you have time, I'll take you and Dad to see it. " "Have you bought a house?" Martha raised her voice in surprise before she sneered.
"Philip, are you confused? Can a coward as worthless as you be able to afford a house?" Martha felt disgust in her heart.
He knew exactly how capable this son-in-law was. Even if he had personal savings, the amount was no more than tens of thousands. How could he buy a house? Even the place where they currently live was partially donated by him.
If they sell the house, then they will have enough funds. Philip pursed his lips. "Mom, I actually bought it. It's in Longford.." Longford Park! First Palace worth 100 million! "Fuck that!
Are you trying to say Longford Park? Do you even know what kind of place it is? A house there is worth tens of millions! Come back soon, and remember to bring all your personal savings.
Otherwise, you can sell your house and cover the flaws!"" Martha was very angry and slammed the phone. Philip is getting bolder. He even learned how to brag! Longford Park? What joke!
Martha did not take it seriously. Philip hung up the phone and touched the back of his head. The clanking of high heels rang out behind him as Wynn approached. He asked, "What do you want?" "He wants to sell the old house and buy a villa. He also wants me to make up for his shortcomings, "
Philip said with a smile. Wynn frowned and said doubtfully, "Buy the villa?
What's he thinking? Where are we going to get so much money? "
"It's okay, Winnie. I actually bought it." said Philip with a smile.
Chapter 253
Before he could finish his sentence, Wynn's phone rang and cut off their conversation. He rolled his eyes at Philip and said, "Regardless of what my mother said, don't give him more money.
He just made a scene now. It's gonna die soon." With that said, Wynn stepped aside to answer the call. Philip looked at Wynn's back in silence and muttered,
"Forget over. After Mila recovers, we'll all move into our new house." On this day, news of the Yates bankruptcy intensified. Lots of power and
the family speculates on the power and influence behind all this.
The method is too tough! They only found the circumstances frightening after a detailed investigation! Last night! In just one night, Yates broke and fell out of grace.
The reason turned out to be because Yates had offended someone. Who is that guy? It was a secret that many families and upper-class troops in Riverdale wanted to dig out. In other words, one small step from Philip had caught the attention of all the prominent figures and families of Riverdale.
Philip stayed in the hospital until the afternoon before he left. During that time, Martha made many calls to him, demanding him return to the old house. Wynn has to go to work. He was busy handling the cooperation between Beacon and Turner Second Hospital.
Therefore, the affairs in the hospital were temporarily handed over to Agnes. Philip called a taxi and returned to the old manor. Martha sat in the living room with a few business cards in front of her as well as real estate information.
As soon as Philip entered, Martha immediately served tea for him with a flattering smile. "Philip, here, sit down quickly. I just washed the wine. Try them." Philip's surprised. This was the first time she felt the enthusiasm of her unreasonable mother-in-law.
That's petrifying. "Mom, just tell me what you want to say. I'm not used to you like this" Philip said pensively. Charles, who pretended to read the newspaper on the side, could not help but smile.
Philip knew that his wife was up to something. Martha was quite embarrassed to be appointed like this. He glared at Charles before turning his attention back to Philip. What's wrong with this pointless thing is to completely reject his kind gesture of serving tea and fruits to him.
You don't have to worry about that. But we need to set the rules first. At the villa, I have the final decision. You are responsible for the laundry and
homework assignments. You need to make sure the house is clean both inside and outside.
Also, I might invite my friends over for a mahjong or something, and you should wait for them and make sure you don't embarrass me.
Do you understand?" Martha said every rule meticulously, the smile on her face grew brighter the more she explained. It was as if he had already bought a villa. Charles shook his head helplessly and sighed, "I'll take a walk." Martha glared at him, aware that she was unhappy. He screamed, he screamed,
"Old man, you don't have to live there!" Of course, those were just meaningless harsh words. "Well, Philip, my condition is fine, right? After all, you live from our family and live in the villa that I bought, so you have to listen to me, "
martha said haughtily. Actually, he was reluctant to stay under one roof with this trashy son-in-law, but he had no other choice because he was still short of money.
"Mom, there's no need to go through a lot of trouble. I have bought a house. Once Mila's out, we'll move in together." Philip smiled. Martha was startled for a moment before she replied in a disdainful tone, "Enough, Philip.
Don't you think I know how capable you are? Can you buy a house? Even if you have a little bit of savings, how will that be enough? Even if you actually buy it, it might be a cage measuring several dozen square meters. I wouldn't live in a place like that!" Martha would never believe Philip had bought a house.
He must be kidding. He is just a useless person. After eating and drinking for free in the Johnston family for the past three years, what else has he accomplished? No. gabe. Philip's views turned to real estate pamphlets on the table and focused on a particular pamphlet, Longford Park.
"Mom, here we go." Philip laughed as he picked up the Longford Park brochure.
Immediately, Martha's expression darkened as she reprimanded Philip with an angry look, "Philip, do you think it's funny that way?
Don't you want to spend money? If yes, just say it. Stop rambling! " Philip obviously didn't want to give him the money. "Okay, I get it. Go and never enter my house again in the future! When I buy a villa, never think you can move too!"
Martha was furious and began to drive Philip out of the house.
Chapter 254
Philip was helpless as he was driven out of the house just like that.
Standing at the entrance, she could still hear Martha's scolding inside the house.
After a brief consideration, Philip called George. "Old Uncle George, can you help me find a house that sold recently? Wynn's mother was thinking of buying a villa.
If he asks about it, you can handle it yourself." "Sure, Young Master. I know what to do," on the other end of the phone, George answered respectfully.
After hanging up the phone, George immediately told his secretary to contact all real estate agents in Riverdale. As long as Martha inquired about a villa to any real estate agent, the price would be reduced by half.
In that case, even Martha would be able to afford it. After the arrangement, George responded to Philip who immediately gave his consent. He'll treat it as a gift to the Johnston family. After all, Philip had given nothing to Martha in the past three years. After Philip left, Martha sulked at home alone.
He could not force himself to borrow money from his friends. However, looking at the price of the villa, he could not afford it either. When Charles returned in the afternoon, Martha rushed with him to some real estate agents she wanted to ask about the property.
Martha headed to the Hillside Villa sales office first. He had long liked this area, and he heard that Paula also lived here. One unit here is worth ten million! If he sold the old house for seven or eight million and combined it with some funds here and there, he should be able to buy it.
The sales office of Villa Hillside is very different. It was very stylish with a high glass dome and crystal lamps. The floor is not made of tiles but a soft carpet under the feet.
The inside is decorated mainly with gold and platinum—luxury and extravagant! Moreover, the sellers here were tall and slender beautiful women, each more beautiful than the other. However, Martha did not like him. He hated vixens the most like that!
When she was young, she must have been more beautiful than them! As soon as he entered the office, he headed straight to the property's mockup model. It is beautifully done and atmospheric, surrounded by lush greenery, near mountains and lakes, and there are also private shopping malls and movie theaters nearby.
It is heaven for women! When the young and beautiful salesman saw someone inspecting the model mockups, he naturally approached her with a sweet smile and a warm greeting. "Hello mistress. This unit you are looking for is our best seller.
This is a two-story four-story villa with a total area of 300 square meters. It was sold at a price of 40,000 dollars per square meter. There are two more units. If you are interested in buying, we can sign an agreement on the spot."
Martha was shocked to hear that. "It cost 12 million?" "Yes, Mom. There are only two units left. " Marta frowned. He liked this villa very much, but it was too expensive. He can't afford it. "Well, I'll look around first." Martha's smile became a little awkward.
He pulled Charles over as he planned to take a short walk before leaving. At this moment, a striking woman with thick makeup slapped her lips and sneered. "Poor pity, here to see the villa he couldn't afford.
Honey, just look at these rural people, here to see the property at Hillside Villa. It's such a shame." A fat and greasy middle-aged man was standing beside him. He observed Martha, frowned contemptuously, and mocked,
"Ah, you shouldn't say that. Even the poor have the right to see the villa. Although they could never afford it in their lives, they could still see it. " The flashy woman sneered. "They must make rules to prevent these poor people from daydreaming. Pay before you see it!
Their presence here is an insult to Hillside Villa!" The two men took turns humiliating Martha. Who's Martha Yates? Is he a tolerant person?
Of course not. Marta angry. He pointed at the conspicuous woman and cursed, "What are you saying? Who is poor? Who says I can't afford it? You are the poor ones. I've known that you are****** seducing married men, but you're still shameless enough to brag here.
If you're not careful, the real wife will find out and expose your filthy deeds online, asshole!" Martha can be very violent when fighting with someone. Especially when he's right. She was a homewrecker. When he heard that, he lost his temper and retorted.
"Fuck up! You are sl*t! You are just a pathetic loser with no money but still here to see the villas. Buy it if you can! Come out if you don't have money!" After the shouts were exchanged, they started fighting.
How could Martha fit in with this younger woman? He suffered several slaps on his face and fell to the ground crying in pain, "I have been hit, look here, I have been hit.
That bitch hit me! " All the salespeople exchanged glances before they rushed in to separate them. Charles wanted to talk a lot when he saw Martha being beaten up, but the fat man just punched her in the face.
His nose started bleeding. "F* ck! Two misty old men like you dare to touch my girlfriend, you must be looking for death!" The fat man shouted, his voice booming. Martha became afraid, but she would not back down just like that. He pointed at them and said loudly, "Just wait.
I'll ask my son-in-law to take care of you!" Martha said this because she had witnessed Philip's skill last time. "Please, call him. I'd like to see what kind of person you can contact. Hopefully, it's not the other poor guy." The conspicuous woman grinned with her hands crossed in front of her chest.
Martha remained lying on the floor and refused to get up, describing her miserable state. He called Philip and shouted, "Philip, come immediately to the Villa Hillside sales office! Your father and I have been beaten!
We almost died! Come quickly!" Philip received the call with a cold sweat on his forehead. "All right, Mom, I'll be right there." "What's wrong?" Wynn, who was right beside Philip, asked.
He just got home from work. "Mom and Dad were beaten at the Villa Hillside sales office. It seemed quite serious, "Philip scratched his nose while saying. Martha Yates is a magnet for trouble. "What's? My mom and dad were beaten? " Wynn was frightened and rushed out anxiously. "Let's go there now."
Philip considered for a moment and sent a text message to George before following Wynn out. He said, "Wait for me, I'll take us there." Wynn was startled and turned around asking, "Riding? You got a car?"
At the same time, his eyes were fixed on the BMW motorcycle parked by the side of the road that Philip had just driven from the company.
When Philip got on the bike and handed his helmet to Wynn, he looked puzzled and asked, "Philip, did you forget to tell me anything? Where'd you get this?"
Chapter 255
Philip helped Wynn put on his helmet before he hit his nose and said, "Not much. It's just a company vehicle, that's all." With that said, he quickly turned on the vehicle and turned the handlebars. BMWS
motorbikes roar life with fun! It is every man's dream. "Hold tight." Philip laughing. The vehicle was sliding rapidly like it was drifting.
Wynn sat behind Philip, his arms tightly wrapped around Philip's waist. He's just scared
now! While cornering, Philip actually mimics the movements of the motorcycle racers on TV, leaning into the corner! That's too cool! The scene attracted many passers-by to cheer and photograph them.
Is she still her husband that trash? He even knew how to do an act like this! Wynn looked at Philip's back, his heart full of questions. How much does she not know about her husband? Soon, they arrived at the Hillside Villa sales office by bicycle. Wynn got off first and quickly ran to the office.
Philip should park his bike. He was not allowed to stop at the entrance and had to park his bike in an underground parking lot. This is the sales office of Hillside Villa with its own underground parking facilities.
Wynn rushes to the sales office and soon sees Martha lying on the floor, looking like she's about to die. His mother constantly wailed and cursed. As for Charles, he was bleeding from the nose.
Although the bleeding had stopped, his face was pale from a wound that looked quite serious. "Dad, Mom, are you okay?" Wynn rushed over anxiously and helped Martha get up from the floor. As soon as Martha saw Wynn, she howled and pointed at the striking woman and the middle-aged fat man. He screamed, he screamed,
"Wynnie, if you're here any minute, your father and I will be killed by them!" Waves of anger appeared in Wynn's heart when he heard this.
After he pulled Martha off the ground, he glared angrily at the arrogant and domineering woman who was still cursing and chillingly reprimanding, "Have you hit my parents?" The woman's eyes were filled with disdain as she scanned Wynn from top to bottom.
She is beautiful, more beautiful than herself. Suddenly, his jealousy bloomed. The striking woman crossed her arms in front of her chest and said in a disdainful tone, "Yes, right. A woman like your mother deserves to be beaten. He is very poor but he still wants to see the houses in Hillside Villa.
Stop pretending if you can't afford it and get out of here!" The flashy woman was very upset by Wynn's attitude. Although she was beautiful, she was dressed in an average middle-class style and did not appear rich. He felt more confident when he realized that. Sure enough, the whole family is poor.
Wynn said coldly, "Even if we can't afford it, what gives you the right to hit them? Apologize to my parents at once. Otherwise, I will report the matter to the police. " Wynn is rational and does not waste time engaging with them. However, when the woman heard this, she simply snorted and hit Wynn in the face while pointing her nose. He's squealing, he's squealing,
"So what if I hit your parents? I hit you too! Call the police if you want! Let me tell you, my brother is the chief staff sergeant in this area! "
Brazen, dare! The striking woman exuded an aura of dominating wealth and power. "Only a few poor farmers like you want to make a police report? Believe it or not, I will ask my brother to capture your entire family!"
said the woman coldly, her eyes flickering with disdain. These poor poor people dare to point their teeth and claws at him!
When Martha heard that the other party's brother was the chief staff sergeant, she immediately curled up and shrank behind Wynn. He pulled Wynn's arm and whispered, "Forget it, Wynnie. Let's not pursue this matter. Let's go."
Martha acted like a coward. He has no other choice. He was unable to provoke someone like that. After all, they have strong support. He could only act arrogantly at home.
On the outside, when trouble occurred, he was just a helpless coward. When the conspicuous woman heard this, she laughed out loud and scoffed sarcastically, "The weak cowardly cat!
Now you know to be afraid? A bunch of pathetic losers looking at the houses at Hillside Villa. If you don't have money, just get lost! "
The greasy middle-aged fat man was also annoyed now. He pointed at Wynn and yelled at the sellers, "I say, what's wrong with you guys?
How could you let such a trashy person enter here? Are you trying to ruin my customer experience?" "Sir, Madam, I'm sorry, it's our negligence."
The seller quickly bowed in fear and apologized. He frowned and glared at Wynn and his parents while cursing with scorn in his heart.
At first, she thought Martha was a rich man who came to look around the house, but it wasn't. Why would he bother to come in? If they offend a genuine big customer because of this, their sales for the day will be ruined.
"Hey, the three of you should leave now!" The salesman was not compassionate and immediately shouted at Wynn coldly. And suddenly! A hoarse voice sounded at the door.
