Chapter 1699


    Martha was asking anxiously, “Wynnie, what happened in Riverdale? Can you tell me about it?”


    Martha had not been ea ting or sleeping well in the past two days as she was thinking about the vi in


    Riverdale and Beacon Group. She did not know what exactly Martin and Bernard Johnston had done.


    Would Martha end up a pauper from now on?


    No way!


    Martha was extremely worried. She had long noticed that Martin and Bernard were up to no good, but


    she did not expect that they would do such a treacherous thing at this time.


    Charles also stood by the window. Someone like him who never smoked had started smoking, but his


    actions were a little awkward.


    Martha nced at him and scolded, “Go outside if you want to smoke! Can’t you see that Wynnie is


    pregnant?”


    Charles just realized his mistake and quickly put the cigarette out. He stood at the side, staring nkly


    into space. After hesitating for a long time, he asked, “Wynnie, just tell us. I can bear it.”


    Wynn looked at her parents, thought about it, and said, “Dad, Mom, things are not as serious as you


    think. When Philip returned to Riverdalest time, he already resolved some of the problems. Uncle


    Martin and Uncle Bernard have also resigned from thepany. However, they seem to have set up a


    newpany, supposedly with the help of someone who wants topete with Beacon.”

    “Compete? What does that mean? We still have topete when we’re all from the same family?”


    Martha’s voice was loud, and her face was full of annoyance. She red at Charles viciously and


    scolded, “Charles Johnston, just look at your wonderful brothers! In the beginning, I told you not to help


    them but you refused to listen to me and got them to join thepany. Now, everything’s done for.


    They got ourpany and daughter into trouble. They even established anotherpany topete


    with us! What are they trying to do? Do they want to split the family up? Or do they want us dead?!”


    Martha was almost dying of anger, mercilessly venting her frustration at Charles.


    Charles was also very helpless now. With a face full of mncholy, he looked at the exasperated


    Martha and said, “What are you saying? How would I know they harbored such intentions? I didn’t


    expect this to happen either.”


    Charles also felt very remorseful. On the one hand, Bernard and Martin were his brothers. On the other


    hand, Wynn and Martha were his family.


    Martha huffed angrily, “You didn’t expect it? Hehe, what’s the use of saying that now? We can’t even


    return to Riverdale!”


    Wynn also had a headache and said, “That’s enough, Mom. Stop ming Dad. This matter is not his


    fault. Besides, Philip is already dealing with it. There should be results soon. Let’s wait a couple of days


    more.”


    “We still need to wait?” Martha was anxious. She was tired of staying in the hotel and said, “Wynnie,


    you don’t know how worried I am. I want to go back to Riverdale as soon as possible. Why don’t you


    talk to Philip and have him send us back? He knows a lot of people, right? Just ask him to arrange a


    few more bodyguards for us.”


    Upon hearing Martha’s words, Wynn hesitated and said, “Let’s wait for him to return and I’ll ask him


    then.”


    Martha immediately grinned when she heard this and said, “Okay, hurry up and ask him. I just want to


    return to Riverdale now. Since we have the vi back, there shouldn’t be a problem if we return.


    Besides, your father and I are not doing anything here, so we might as well go home.”


    Wynn nodded and nced at Charles who looked hesitant, saying, “Dad, don’t worry about it anymore.


    Philip will take care of it.”


    Charles nodded, sighed, and shook his head.
