Chapter 631


    Martha was terrified. Philip’s gaze was eerie, looking directly at her.


    What did he mean by that?


    “I hope you watch your step from now on.”


    Philip said coldly before turning and leaving First Pce. He got into Theo’s car and headed for the


    hospital.


    Now Martha was standing along in the vi, watching in a fluster as the crowd dispersed.


    That damned Philip, what was he being so high-and-mighty for?


    What did they even mean by the main and branch families?


    Martha’s chest felt tight with fear and panic.


    Philip’sst words to her gave her an especially inexplicable feeling.


    Was it a warning?


    Meanwhile, Philip arrived at the hospital and immediately ran to the wards. When he saw Wynn lying in


    bed and resting, his heart finally settled back in his chest.


    He sat on the side of the bed and gently touched Wynn’s fair forehead. The wound on her face was still


    so gruesome to behold.


    That cursed branch family!


    The mes of rage still burned in Philip’s chest.


    Wynn opened her eyes. The moment she saw Philip, her gaze filled with tenderness and reliance. “All


    settled?”


    Philip nodded and apologized to her. “I’m sorry, Wynn. I got you into my mess.”


    Wynn propped herself up and smiled at him. “It’s fine. You’re my husband, so we should face these


    difficulties together.”


    Philip held her delicate little hand tightly, his heart overflowing with gratitude. Tears welled in his eyes.


    “Thank you for your understanding, Wynn. I may be your husband, but I feel like I’ve failed in that role


    all this while. There are a lot of things I can’t tell you right now, so I hope you’ll be patient with me for a


    while longer.”


    Wynn reached out her hand and patted his head, smiling gently. “I believe you, Philip. I’m your wife and


    M is your daughter. We’ll support you and have your back, no matter what.”


    Wynn loved this man. She always had.


    Yes, they had fought before, and she once considered divorce.


    However, she never went through with it. She would rather fight with her own family, all to get out of


    divorcing him for now.


    After all, she always believed that he would change someday.


    Now, he had changed so much, bing someone strong enough for her to rely on. She now knew


    what it felt like to rest on her husband’s dependable back.


    That was why she believed him.


    “Wynn, if one day I lose everything, will you divorce me?”


    Philip suddenly looked up and asked.


    Wynn replied without hesitation, “No.”


    The two of them exchanged a nce full of tender love.


    After a while, Philip stood up to go and check on M.


    When he saw the wound on his daughter’s face, Philip’s rage continued to burn ceaselessly.


    They asked the doctor and confirmed that both Wynn and her unborn child were fine. Just in case,


    however, she had to stay at the hospital for a few more days.


    Later, Philip visited Tiger in his hospital room. The man was sound asleep, snoring away.


    Theo smiled rather helplessly. “I hope you won’t hold it against Tiger, Mr. rke. The enemy was just


    strong, he was no match.”


    Philip shook his head and said, “It’s alright. Just take good care of him.”


    About an hourter, Tim rushed over to the hospital, his expression cold as ice. He checked on Wynn


    and M for a while before exploding into a fit of rage. “That cursed branch family, they just won’t sit


    still! I’ll go back right now and wipe them out!”


    Tim was furious. He had been overseas for worktely and had just returned to Riverdale when he


    heard the news from his subordinate. It set him off immediately!


    Philip hurriedly stopped Tim before thetter could leave. “It’s alright, Uncle Tim. The matter is resolved


    now.”


    “Resolved? No way! The branch family thought too highly of themselves! How dare they hurt my niece-


    inw and great-niece! I’ll kill them!”


    Tim was furious, with the air of an ancient conqueror ready tomit genocide.


    To reinforce that impression, he came with several dozen well-trained guards, all of whom were


    gathered at the hospital doors.


    Philip pulled Tim back and spent a long time persuading him before the two of them finally calmed


    down somewhat.

    “What do you n to do now? The leaders of the branch families and enforcement hall won’t let this


    slide. You don’t have much support within the family now, so they’ll be able to take you down quite


    easily.”


    Once Tim calmed down, he began assessing their current situation.


    Although Philip was the young master and heir of the main family, even he would not be able to


    withstand thebined pressure of the branch families and enforcement hall.


    If the situation went out of control, they might really sacrifice Philip’s status as heir to restore some


    semnce of calm.


    Philip smiled faintly. “Don’t worry, I have my ns. They’re just a bunch of old geezers. I’ll be right here


    waiting for them. To be honest, I’m curious to see just what the branch families are capable of.”


    Tim gave his nephew a sideways look. For a second there, he saw a shadow of his brother back then


    in the young man.


    Well, well, the boy was really growing into his position as heir.


    “Alright then, I’ll go to Arcadia tonight in your ce and shake those old geezers up a bit. Try to buy


    you some time.”


    Tim stood up, letting his aura show as he blew some cigarette smoke into the air. Finally, he pressed


    his hand onto Philip’s shoulder and said solemnly, “I have high hopes for you, Philip. Don’t disappoint


    me, and definitely don’t disappoint your father. We’re waiting for your return.”


    Philip raised his head to look at his uncle.


    All he saw was the man’s back as he left without a care.
