Chapter 474


    “Philip, is there anything you’re hiding from me?”


    Wynn asked and looked intensely at Philip.


    Philip approached her and held her in his arms. He smiled and said, “No. What are you thinking? I’ve


    told you everything I need to.”


    Philip was betting that Giada had not said anything to her.


    He knew she would not tell Wynn anything.


    If that was the case, he could bring Wynn and M back home in a right and proper manner.


    As for why he refused to tell Wynn his real identity, Philip had his own considerations as well.


    Wynn came from an ordinary family. She did not have the foundation nor a huge family as her backing.


    If Philip revealed who he was or if he brought them home, the Wallises and the other powers might


    want to take action against them.


    In this world, the Wallises were not the only family eyeing the rkes.


    The situation now was like a tug of war. The end of the rope with more people would most likely be the


    winning side.


    Once Philip broke this equilibrium, the chain reaction would happen.


    A lot of them would have an acrimonious falling out, and they would break all rtions with the rkes.


    In this situation, it would be impossible for Philip to protect Wynn and M with all his heart.


    Philip was like a weed now. No one would bother him.


    However, this weed could still grow into a huge tree. As such, everyone would step on this weed with


    no mercy.


    Hence, he could only take one step at a time to make himself stronger—so strong until he was not


    afraid of anyone or any authorities out there. Then, finally, he could announce it to the whole world.


    Wynn turned her body and rolled her eyes at Philip. She said, “Aunt Giada told me that your restaurant


    business is not as measly as you say.”


    Philip frowned and asked hurriedly, “Did she tell you the details?”


    Wynn shook her head and said, “This is what I want to ask you. I’m your wife, so why are you hiding


    this from me?


    “Philip, how big is your family business?”


    Philip let out a sigh of relief internally. Then, he pretended to look indifferent and exined. “Wynnie,


    actually, my family…”


    Thud!


    Suddenly, the door was opened from the outside.


    Martha fell down by the door, and her eyes went wide. She smiled awkwardly at the two of them on the


    bed.


    “Oh, um, Wynnie, I need to see you for a bit. Come with me.”

    Martha got up immediately. She peered at them and left while swaying her fat bottom.


    Wynn and Philip looked at each other helplessly. They were utterly speechless with Martha’s behavior.


    Wynn got up and said, “I’ll go downstairs for a bit.”


    After she said that, she went out of the room and headed to the living room. Then, she saw Martha on


    the sofa, fuming.


    She had heard Philip and Wynn’s conversation just now.


    Damn this Philip. How dare he hide so many things from them?


    A restaurant owner?


    It must be a franchise if he had so much money!


    “Mom, what do you need me for?”


    Wynn walked over. She did not sit down.


    Martha pulled Wynn to sit down quickly. She looked at the second floor and asked with a low voice,


    “Wynnie, tell me, what does Philip’s family do? I heard you guys saying that they own restaurants?”


    Wynn knew her mother would ask about this, so she did not n to hide it. She said, “Yeah, his family


    owns restaurants. I only found out about this recently. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be heading upstairs


    now.”


    After she said that, Wynn turned around to leave. Martha was frantic. She grabbed Wynn and said,


    “You stupid girl, why did you only tell me now?”


    “Mom, what are you trying to do?”


    Wynn was speechless. She knew her mother was up to something again.


    “What will I do? Of course, I only do things if it’s for your own good. Since Philip has a huge family


    business, why didn’t he tell you sooner? Say, do you think he has some ulterior motives? I’m telling


    you, Wynnie, you have to side with me. I’ll get all of his family’s properties for you!”


    Martha said firmly.


    Wynn shook her head helplessly. Her face went cold as she said, “Mom, stop fooling around, okay?”


    After she said that, she went upstairs.


    In the living room, Martha mumbled to herself, “I’m fooling around? It’s all for your own good! You


    thankless wench!”


    The next day, Wynn and Philip left the vi. Martha was about to leave as well. However, when she got


    to the door, a figure blocked her.


    “Who are you? Don’t you have eyes? Who let you into my home?”


    Martha was rummaging through her bag. She just started yelling without looking properly.


    “Martha Yates.”


    Suddenly, a cold voice struck terror into Martha’s heart.


    That voice was too familiar!


    She lifted her head quickly and saw an extremely dignified woman in front of her.


    Martha felt like a bug standing in front of this woman.


    Giada!


    Why was she here?


    p!


    Giada lifted her hand and pped Martha. Martha’s eyes went wide as her jaw dropped open after


    being pped. She did not make a sound for a long while.


    “Didn’t I tell you not to be so arrogant?”


    Giada said in a frigid tone. There were eight bodyguards in ck suits and sunsses behind her.
