Chapter 111
There was a middle-aged woman in her forties or fifties behind Martha. She was very fashionably
dressed, a little on the plump side. She had a red LV bag, a jade bangle, a gold chain, and even a
stylish olderdy perm.
Everyone could feel her aura the moment she walked in. She oozed luxury!
That was Martha’s second older sister, Philip and Wynn’s second aunt.
Her name was Pa Yates, and she was the second eldest daughter in the family.
Martha had never liked her second older sister.
The two of them would get into catfights every time they met, over the same old things.
Pa had a daughter who married a rich husband. The man had his ownpany and good
connections in society, so Pa’s social status rose ordingly. Life was pretty good for her now.
It was obvious in the way she dressed. She reeked of money.
It was as though she wanted to wear all of her fortunes wherever she went, so that everyone would
envy her.
Case in point, Pa gave Philip the stink eye as soon as she walked into the room and saw Philip. “Oh
my, isn’t that my dear nephew-inw, Philip rke? How are things for you these days? I hear you’re
doing food delivery now. How much do you earn every month? Are you still staying in that tiny 800-
square feet house? When are you going to get a bigger ce? If you’re out looking, you can ask our
Richard. He’s in property, you know, and he can give you a discount.”
As she said that, she even touched her new perm to show off the jade bracelet on her wrist.
“Oh dear, Richard is such a pain sometimes. I told him not to buy this for me, but he insisted. This
bracelet is worth eighty thousand, you know.”
Pa spoke to herself casually. When she saw her younger sister’s stormy expression, she covered
her mouth with her hand and giggled. “Oh my my, remind me again, Martha. Has Philip ever bought
you anything?”
She was arrogant, proud, and full of sarcastic barbs.
From the moment she walked through the door, Pa had kept her nose firmly in the air.
Martha was so furious that her body trembled. She red at Philip and berated him, “What did I do in
my past life to deserve a son-inw as useless as you? You’re an utter embarrassment to me!”
Philip had nothing to say to that.
The atmosphere was extremely awkward now.
Wynn was rather unhappy now too. Her aunt had always looked down on her family, all because she
thought Philip was useless, especially whenpared to her rich son-inw.
That was why her aunt would drop by every so often, saying she was here to visit her sister when she
actually came to show off and make jabs at them.
Wynn was exasperated to have a rtive like that too.
Still, Pa was her elder. There was nothing Wynn could do.
“Why are you here, Aunt Pa?” Wynn interrupted Pa with a smile.
Pa was dominating the room. Her presence seemed to fill the ce as she took a seat without
asking and said with augh, “I heard that you were hospitalized, so I came to see how you’re doing.”
Haha.
Everyone knew why she was really here.
Visiting Wynn was just a cover. What she really wanted was to show off.
Look at the way she put her LV on herp and kept ying with it. She wanted everyone to know that
she had bought a fancy handbag.
That was also when Pa noticed Juan. She pointed at him and asked Martha, “Who’s that, Martha?”
Martha finally found a chance to show off. She hastily shoved Philip aside and even red at him
before yanking Juan by the arm and beaming. “Oh, this is Juan. His family is quite well to do, they’re in
the gem business and they earn several tens of millions every year too. He’s Wynn’s good friend.”
Pa’s eyes seemed to shine when she looked at Juan now.
When she saw how proud Martha looked, though, her expression cooled down as well.
The two old women had been squabbling like this for years. Of course they understood each other.
Martha was probably hoping that Juan could be her new son-inw.
Pa immediately gave them a smile of faux politeness. “Why, what a nice young man.” Inwardly,
though, she had cursed Martha to hell and back. Martha wanted a rich son-inw now? Hmph!
Her daughter Wynn was already married and even had a kid. No one would want a woman like that.
Still, Pa could not say that out loud.
With that thought in mind, she gave Philip a look of pure irony too.
Philip rke was seriously such a waste of space. Even his mother-inw wanted to get rid of him.
Martha’s heart brightened once she saw that her sister looked displeased. It was rare for her to get an
upper hand over Martha, so she immediately pulled Juan over and said, “Why are you just standing
there? C’mon, greet your Aunt Pa.”
Juan hastily said with a smile, “Hi, Aunt Pa.”
Pa reacted like a cat after someone stepped on its tail. She jumped to her feet and said, “Oh no no,
you can’t call me that. That’s all wrong! You’re not my nephew-inw, you can’t call me aunt.”

The atmosphere in the room turned instantly awkward.
Pa’s reply was undeniably a bright p across Martha’s face.
“Martha, I think Philip is a good man. He’s willing to work hard, right? You shouldn’t scold or hit him so
much. After all, you’re still family.” Pa easily lied through her teeth.
If Martha did end up getting a rich son-inw, who else was she supposed to show off to?
That was why she must never let Martha’s little plot seed!
Sparks flew around the hospital room.
Pa saw how red her younger sister’s face had turned, so she instantly changed the subject. “Oh
yeah, Dad’s seventieth birthday ising up soon. Are you guys attending the party?”
Haha.
If they went, the entire family would beughing at them all night.
The thought of it gave Pa much pleasure.
“No, we’re not,” Martha huffed.
“You’re not? That won’t do. Even if you’re mad at Dad, Martha, you can’t skip his birthday party. He
really misses you these days, he keeps talking about you.” Pa grew anxious once she heard that her
sister was not going home.
She was waiting for the day Martha and the Johnstons embarrassed themselves in front of the entire
family.
However…
Just then, a calm voice interrupted them unexpectedly.
“We’ll be there, Aunt Pa. Mom was only kidding,” Philip suddenly said with a chuckle.
