Chapter 282


    Pa flicked a nce at Philip. Amused by his timid and obedient disy, she could not help her


    sarcasm. “You have such a good son-inw. Although he’s not promising, he’s good at doing


    housework. You can be rxed because of that.”


    Martha was angry when she heard this and promptly cursed. “He’s nothing but a useless piece of trash.


    So what if he can do the housework? If he’s half as good as Frank, I won’t have to suffer so much and


    live in this old manor with Charles.”


    Pa’s eyes narrowed with a smile. When she saw Philip walking over with the tea, she deliberately


    loosened her hold on the cup, making hot water spill all over Philip’s hands.


    The boiling hot water instantly burned Philip’s skin a fiery red!


    The cup also shattered with a loud crack.


    “Oh dear, I’m so sorry. The cup was too hot, and I didn’t hold it properly. Philip, I hope your hands are


    alright.” Pa pretended to be concerned.


    Philip clenched his teeth in pain and forced out a smile. “It’s fine.”


    After that, he quickly ran into the kitchen and soaked his hands in cold water, but a huge blister had


    already formed!


    The pain was excruciating!


    Philip’s eyes were cold as he stood in the kitchen. How could he not notice that Pa had done it on


    purpose?


    In the living room, Pa had already forgotten about Philip and turned to Martha instead. “Well then,


    since you’ve already asked for my help, I’ll get Frank to help and see if he can get an internal discount


    or something.”


    With that said, Pa leaned back on the sofa and fiddled with the jewelry on her hand, waiting for


    Martha to beg for help.


    She continued, “Martha, it’s not that I want to reprimand you, but you really shouldn’t have allowed


    Wynn to marry Philip back then. Now see how much you’re regretting it.”


    When Pa said this, she totally did not consider if Philip could hear her from the kitchen.

    So what if he could? He was nothing but a wimp.


    At the same time, Philip walked out of the kitchen. He had already applied some medication for his


    burns before he returned to the living room. He said with a smile, “Aunt Pa, please don’t worry about


    the vi. I’ve already bought a house. If you’re interested, you cane to visit our new hometer.”


    Both Pa and Martha were stunned by his words.


    Martha did not expect that Philip would still brag and joke about this matter at a time like this.


    Thus, Martha red furiously at Philip, picked up a book on the table, and flung it at him while cursing.


    “Philip, no one will think you’re a mute if you don’t speak. Now, get lost at once!”


    “Mom, I’ve really bought a house. I’ve told youst time. In a few more days, all of us can move in,”


    Philip said while he bent over to pick the book up from the floor.


    Pa was indifferent. She looked at Philip dubiously before mocking with a sneer. “Martha, your son-


    inw has learned to brag now? This isn’t good, you know. He’ll turn bad pretty soon.”


    “Yes, you’re absolutely right.” Martha could not do anything except re daggers at Philip.


    However, in the next second, Pa stood up with her handbag in tow and said, “Well then, since the


    son-inw has already said so, let’s set a date for us to visit your new home then.”


    Crack!


    Martha’s heart shattered into pieces. She was full of anger but had nowhere to vent. She red


    vehemently at Philip, stood up, and pped him across the face with a screech. “Get lost! Who told you


    to open your big mouth!”


    Philip chuckled and said that once M was discharged from the hospital, they would move into the


    new home together. This made Martha so angry that she cursed him for a long time even after his


    figure had disappeared.


    After Philip left, Pa pretended to be rueful and said to Martha, “Martha, this son-inw of yours is


    really no good. You must teach him a good lesson. However, since he has already said so, I’m really


    curious to see what sort of house he has bought.”


    Pa left. Soon after that, she told her husband, daughter, and son-inw about this matter.


    At the same time, she also notified many rtives about it, saying that once M was discharged from


    the hospital, they should all visit Martha at their new home.


    The family members obviously just wanted to see their humiliation.


    This incident made Martha extremely angry, and she immediately fell ill for many days after that.


    However, she was unable to reverse the situation.


    After Philip left the Old Johnston Manor and walked toward the parking lot, he was just about to take


    out the key to the Ferrari when a graceful girl appeared and hugged him from behind. She said


    cheerfully, “Philip, you’ve really concealed yourself well. You’re even driving a Ferrari now.”


    Lynn Johnston?


    When Philip turned around, he saw Lynn with her arms crossed over her chest, looking at him with a


    smirk on her face.


    The clothes she wore today revealed her belly button. Her pants also exposed her pale and slender


    waist. She had exquisite makeup on her face. During the hug just now, he felt the softness on his back


    which felt very real.


    This little girl had developed well.


    “What are you doing here?” Philip asked dubiously.


    With a phone in her hand, Lynn yed a short video which was the scene of Philip about to get into the


    car.


    She then threatened with a smile. “Philip, if my cousin sees this, what will she think?”
