After they left the clinic, Wynn brought Philip to a cafe nearby and ordered two cups of coffee. "Philip, now that I've lost my job, what should we do?" She said worriedly. Earlier, she had resigned from her job on an impulse. She was beginning to regret it. Beacon paid her rather well, and they needed money urgently. Philip shrugged. "Don't worry, I'm still here. I'll make sure that you and our daughter won't starve," he said calmly. "Should I go talk to Chairman Hall?" Wynn asked him, blinking. That was one of the very few times she asked for Philip's opinion. She had this impression that Philip had changed. Somehow, he became more dependable and made her feel safe. "I think that your Chairman Hall will give you a call soon. He'll be begging you to go back to work," Philip said calmly. Wynn was surprised, then rolled her eyes at Philip. "That's just your imagination. Didn't you see just now that I told him I quit in front of his face? "Whatever. I'm not going to d
Wynn was bewildered that Derrick suddenly contacted her and even offered to promote her to vice president. "You know?" Wynn asked doubtfully. 'What would Philip know? He's not employed in Beacon, and he doesn't know Derrick.' Philip grinned. "Maybe he had a pang of conscience over what he said to you earlier, and he genuinely wants to apologize." Wynn rolled her eyes at him and said nervously, "Don't joke around, I'm talking serious business here. He'll be coming here soon. What do you think I should do?" Wynn was worried about accepting the offer to become vice president. After all, not everyone deserved to sit in that chair. "Don't worry, I'm here for you. I'll bust his pig head open if he does something stupid to you," Philip said exaggeratedly. Wynn chuckled. Her eyebrows were curved and she looked very sweet. For a brief moment, Philip was transported back to the times when they were in school. Pure, innocent, and sweet. Derrick arrived at the cafe a while late
"Mm. Turner's Hospital wants to collaborate with Beacon, but the condition is that they will only negotiate with me," Wynn said hesitantly. She lifted her head and looked at Philip, "So, what do you think? Should I accept it?" Wynn wanted very much to accept Derrick's offer. After all, she did not want to lose her job. Moreover, Derick had also promised many benefits to her. She was quite satisfied with the offer. After all, she had to sustain her family and daughter. "I know you don't want to lose your job, Wynn. No matter what you choose, I will support your decision." Philip spoke as he draped her arm over Wynn's delicate neck, as though they were a couple in the prime of their youth. Wynn nodded seriously. "I'll have to treat Professor Turner to dinner one day," she said with a smile. "Alright, I'll arrange it with him," Philip replied. After the matter was settled, Wynn agreed to negotiate with Turner's Hospital. Also, true to his word, Derrick promoted Wynn to v
She was being unreasonable. Philip was nonetheless her son-in-law and had greeted her with sincerity. Martha tossed all of Philip's presents by the doorway and shouted angrily at him, "If you're still a man, Philip Clarke, then don't take another step into my house. I, Martha Yates, have nothing to do with you. The Johnston family doesn't welcome good-for-nothings like you in the household." Martha was currently fretting over what happened to Aiden. She was not happy when she saw that loser Philip Clarke at her door. 'Does he think he deserves to step into my house just because he brought a few presents? 'In his dreams!' Wynn was frustrated when she saw her mother being unreasonable. "What are you doing, Mom? Philip is here to talk to you," she said grumpily. Wynn turned around to pick the items, then brought Philip and sat down inside. Martha thought that it would be inappropriate to reprimand her daughter. She stopped driving Philip out of the house but did not show him
Wynn turned around, looked at Philip, and asked, “Did you do it?” Philip shook his head immediately and replied calmly, “How could it have been me? How am I capable of doing such a thing? You’re thinking too much.” He had almost let the cat out of the bag! Fortunately, Aiden had taken it from the back door the other day. Wynn frowned. She did not think Philip was capable of doing such a thing as well. However, at this time, Martha overheard the absurd conversation that was going on between them. She raised her eyebrows, stared at Philip, and asked, “What? This matter has something to do with you?” Wynn knew if Martha found out about what happened at the hotel the other day, she would most definitely find fault with Philip. Perhaps she might even get them to go through a divorce once again. “Mom, don’t be angry at Philip. This matter has nothing to do with him, “Wynn said. “It’s best if he has nothing to do with it. Otherwise, I’ll be the first to chase him out of the ho
Martha was dumbstruck! Her breath got stuck in her throat! One… hundred billion?! With a loud thud, Martha fell backward and landed on the ground. Her whole body had begun trembling uncontrollably. Very soon, several people gathered around her as they looked and pointed. “Oh, is she having a seizure?” “Call the emergency number quickly!” “Hurry up and call for someone. This looks serious!” Not long after, the employees of the bank rushed over and helped lift Martha onto a seat by the side. They then performed acupressure on her and gave her some water. Nevertheless, Martha struggled to wake up as her hands trembled. Her eyes were dull when she mumbled, “Hundred… billion.” The onlookers were baffled and had no idea what the old woman was mumbling about. Was she delusional? By this time, Philip and Wynn had rushed over to the scene. They had received a call from one of the bank staff who informed them of Martha’s location. “Mom, how do you feel? Are you alrigh
At this time, Wynn came over to help Martha was still trembling to walk. Together, they made their way to the resting area in the corner of the room and took a seat. Philip frowned, took out the card, and passed it over the counter. He said calmly, “Please ask your manager to come out.” The young lady at the counter was taken aback before she sneered. “Sir, do you really think there’s a hundred billion in that card?” What a joke. After the old lady was a young man. Was the whole family full of lunatics? However, Philip smiled faintly, “Then, I’ll withdraw the money.” The young lady looked at him in disdain as she mumbled under her breath, “So poor, yet he still wants to withdraw money. He really thinks he has a hundred billion!” The young lady accessed the bank’s system as she complained. She instructed in an unfriendly manner, “Key in your password.” Philip obliged. The young lady continued to operate the system. However, when she saw the balance of the card, she s
Patrick stood up abruptly from his chair. His eyes were wide open and his breathing was rapid. Who could have a bank balance of one hundred billion? Not to mention, that person had shown up at his small little branch! If he could get even a hundred million worth of financial investment, he would no longer have to work throughout the year! Moreover, there was a chance he would get promoted to become a branch president the following year! In the case that this big customer pumped in money into his branch, his performance for the year would skyrocket! It just so happened that a few days ago, during a meeting at the head office, his branch had been specifically criticized for poor performance in terms of customer deposits. They were in last place compared to all the other branches! Patrick had been very troubled by the matter. If it continued, he would be fired as the branch manager! Without thinking twice, Patrick trotted out. “Quick, take me to him!” When he arrived i
