Chapter 257


    Wynn was standing right next to Philip, watching everything unfold without a word.


    This man was so familiar to her, but also so unfamiliar.


    Martha and Charles had long since been stunned into silence. They exchanged a look and found


    oceans of fury in each other’s eyes.


    “Do you have any idea what you’ve done, Philip? Why the hell did you do that? Her brother is the Chief


    Staff Sergeant! We’re screwed, you’ve condemned us all to death!”


    Martha immediately shoved Philip and yelled at him, then she just sat her butt on the floor and began


    bawling unreasonably.


    Philip really hated the way Martha made a huge scene out of everything. She was always so ignorant


    and ungrateful.


    “It’s fine, Mom. I can handle this,” Philip said calmly.


    “As if you can handle anything! You’re just a good-for-nothing! Oh, you’ll be the death of us all!” Martha


    scolded him angrily. She wanted nothing more than to rip him to shreds right now.


    That cursed Philip rke was truly a blight on her life.


    If the woman really called her brother over, the whole family would end up behind bars.


    “Are you done, Mom? Philip’s only trying to stand up for us, isn’t he?”


    Wynn was truly mad now. Martha had tantly insulted Philip in front of everyone, making them a


    publicughing stock.


    Martha was almost mad with fury as well. She grabbed Wynn’s arm andmbasted her, “Are you


    stupid, Wynn? Philip just hit someone, and he even made her spit blood! Her brother is the Chief Staff


    Sergeant! If this esctes, he’ll end up in jail and we’ll have to pay for the damages.”


    As she ranted, Martha gave Philip another furious re.

    He was truly good for nothing!


    She should not have asked him toe.


    However, Martha would never admit that it was her mistake.


    No matter what, everything now was Philip’s fault. It had to be.


    On the other end, the shy woman ended her call. When she saw the dramatic scene before her, she


    could not help a cold sneer. “Haha, do you regret it now? Well, toote! You beat me up so badly, and


    my husband is in bad shape because of you too. You’ll have to pay at least one million for this!”


    That was nothing short of bold-faced extortion!


    Martha almost fainted from anger when she heard the sum of ‘one million’.


    “I don’t care! This has nothing to do with us, he started it! If you wantpensation, get it from him!”


    Martha simply gave up, pushing all the me onto Philip.


    With that, she grabbed Charles’ hand indignantly and tried to run away with her tail between her legs.


    However, a figure at the door stood in their way and even pushed them back inside, roaring, “Who the


    hell dared to bully my lil’ sister? Do you have a death wish? Haven’t you heard of the great Manson


    Horace?”


    The man who walked in was very tall and had a pair of handcuffs at his waist. However, he was not in


    his uniform, walking around in in clothes instead.


    As soon as he entered the store, the temperature dropped by tens of degrees. It was enough to make


    anyone shudder.


    To make things worse, he gave Martha a vicious re. Grabbing Martha and Charles each with one


    hand, he threw them onto the couch and said coldly, “Don’t even think about running away until we


    settle this today.”


    As he said that, the man sat down on the couch and mmed his cuffs onto the table.


    His actions were so intimidating that Martha had already emitted a little scream. Without missing a


    beat, she pointed at Philip and shrieked, “D-Don’t arrest me, I didn’t hit her! It was him, it was my


    useless son-inw who did it! If you want to arrest someone, take him. It has nothing to do with me and


    my husband.”


    She sold him out!


    Just like that, she heartlessly sold Philp out.


    That was Martha Yates for you. She was ever the pragmatic mother-inw.


    Smack!


    However, therge man, Manson Horace, simply gave Martha a violent p across the face. He said


    coolly, “Shut your trap, b*tch!”


    His p left Martha in a daze. She instantly shrunk away, holding her face and too afraid to say


    anything.


    Philip watched them silently. He had no intention of standing up for her.


    Martha had long since deserved a good beating. It might be good to teach her a lesson.


    The shy woman hastily brought the fat man, running up to Manson and sobbing as she pointed at


    her mouth. “Look, Manny! Look what that idiot did to me! You gotta arrest him! Arrest them all! I won’t


    settle for anything less than a million after all they did!”


    Manson saw his younger sister’s injury and immediately blew his top. He jabbed a finger at Philip and


    barked, “Get on your f*cking knees, *sshole, and apologize to my sister!”


    He was brutal and decisive!


    That was Manson Horace in a nutshell.


    In his eyes, his younger sister was everything. Anyone who hurt her deserved to die!


    However, Philip merely gave him a cool look and made to walk toward him.


    Wynn quickly grabbed his arm and shook her head, saying in a whisper, “Why don’t we just apologize?


    Let’s not cause any more trouble, we can’t afford it.”


    Philip just patted the back of her hand gently and said, “Don’t worry. You have me.”


    Martha had seen Philip and Wynn’s little interaction, of course, and she muttered to herself, “Keep


    pretending, useless piece of trash. Let’s see how he worms his way out of this.”


    Manson gave Martha another terrifying re, and she instantly yed dead, all the blood draining from


    her face.


    By now, Philip was standing in front of Manson calmly. He took a seat without being asked and said,


    “Just spit it. How do you want to settle this?”


    Manson frowned deeply. A thought urred to him when he saw howposed Philip looked.


    The punk was not scared of him at all.


    Did he not know who Manson was?
