Chapter 778
For instance, the tea set he took down from upstairs was previously given to him 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 she 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
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWynn.” A group of people started to surround and flatter Wynn. As for Philip, he 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 she had planned this in advance, she
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 he lived off that family, but they did not expect him to take advantage by coming along too.
Wynn looked at Philip helplessly. Just as she was about to get up and help him, Martha pulled her down again and said, “That’s
enough. Let him 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 he had been here several times and was always the one in charge of
making and serving tea, he 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, he 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 him with their gifts. When it got to Philip’s turn, he 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, he always managed to deceive Jacey into
forgiving him using unknown methods. “What sort of good things can he 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.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe packaging is airtight as if it’s afraid of embarrassment.” “Haha, I really feel sorry for Wynn,
marrying such a useless thing that she 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 he was different
now? He still looked as useless as before! Martha was delighted. Seeing Philip being put down made
her very happy. Wynn could not tolerate it. She got up and wanted to explain, but Martha held her 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 she spoke, she
turned around and walked to the people talking and laughing on the other side…
