Chapter 1981


    Martha’s words silenced the jubnt voices on the scene. The weing crowd stared at Martha in


    amazement at this moment.


    This middle-aged woman looked like an ordinary housewife at a nce, and she was also dressed in


    ordinary clothes.


    ‘How dare she say such flippant and chastising words to Fifth Madam?’


    ‘Oh no!’


    ‘Something was about to happen!’


    Sure enough, the gentle and elegant woman with a loving smile on her face suddenly froze. A cold light


    shed from the corner of her eyes. She squeezed out a smile and asked, “What did you just say?”


    When Philip saw this smile, he knew it was over. His fifth mother was definitely the mildest-looking but


    the most irritable person on the ind!


    Even his father had to back down somewhat when his fifth mother got angry.


    At this moment, seeing the indifferent smile at the corner of Fifth Mother’s mouth, Philip knew that


    Martha’s good days hade to an end.


    However, Martha was oblivious and nced suspiciously at the people around her.


    ‘What was going on? Why did the cheers of the crowd stop?’


    Then, she looked warily at the luxuriously dressed woman in front of her and snorted. “Aren’t you just a


    nanny here to wee us? What are you trying to do by dressing up like that? Do you know who I am?


    My son-inw is the young master of the rke family on your ind! How can a servant like you be


    worthy of getting close to my daughter?”


    Martha did not know what was good for her and chose to show off at this time.


    Sitting in a wheelchair, Wynn felt helpless when she saw her mother behave like this. She hurriedly


    said, “Mom, don’t talk nonsense. This is not Riverdale.”


    Martha did not listen but red at Wynn and said, “Wynnie, I’m teaching you the principles of life.


    When you get here, you have to disy your demeanor as the female mistress. Otherwise, you’ll get


    bullied!”


    After that, she looked at Philip and said indignantly, “Son-inw, who is this person? She’s not


    courteous at all. If she’s your nanny, just fire her.”


    Philip helplessly shook his head without saying a word.


    The woman on the opposite side took a step forward at this moment, her icy eyes revealing a biting


    chill. She said, “I’ve long heard that Phil’s mother-inw is a sharp-tongued, greedy, and disloyal


    person. Seeing her for myself today has indeed opened my eyes.”


    “What did you say? How rude! You don’t know the rules at all! When I get to the rke family, I’ll


    definitely get my inws to fire you!” Martha shouted.


    However, the next second… Smack!


    A crisp p resounded throughout the harbor. Tens of thousands of people witnessed Fifth Madam


    pping Martha fiercely.


    In a sh, Martha was dumbfounded. She stared at the woman in front of her with wide eyes while


    covering her burning cheek.


    “Ah, how dare you hit me?! A stinking fish like you actually dare to hit me?! My son-inw is the young


    master of the rke family on your ind. How dare you hit me? Aren’t you here to wee us? I’m


    going to kill you!”


    Martha went crazy. She spread her arms and pounced forward, trying to scratch the woman with the icy


    demeanor.


    Smack!


    The other party pped Martha viciously across the face again.


    “Are you awake yet?” the woman asked coldly.


    Martha was dumbfounded as she clutched her cheeks. With an expression full of fear and panic, she


    turned to Philip and shouted, “Son-inw, look! This nanny is so arrogant! I’m your mother-inw but


    she dares to hit me in front of so many people!”


    Philip snorted, took a step forward, bowed slightly to the woman, and said, “Fifth Mother…”


    The woman smiled like a gust of spring breeze, the coldness on her body from just a moment ago


    completely disappearing. She responded happily, “It’s good that you’re back.”


    After saying that, she raised her hand and motioned to the attendants behind her to bring out the


    wee gifts she had prepared earlier. She said, “I’ve always been on the ind. I didn’t attend your


    wedding nor was I around when your children were born. These are a few little gifts I prepared for you.”


    With that said, the four attendants lifted the red cloth off the golden tray!


    Hiss!


    Everyone gasped.


    These people had lived on this ind for generations and knew that the rke family ruled over


    heaven here. However, they were still shocked when they saw the gifts on the tray.


    A pair of jade bracelets, a pair of pure gold nes and bracelets, a pair of rings with diamonds as


    big as dove’s eggs, and a golden bank card.


    She walked up to Wynn and said with a smile, “Thank you for all you’ve done. These are wee gifts


    for you and your children.”


    Wynn was also dumbfounded when she saw the contents of the tray. She was stunned for a long time


    before she could react. She quickly smiled and greeted the woman, “Fifth Mother…”


    The woman smiled happily and looked at Wynn dotingly. Nadia Sawyer really liked Wynn. Since the


    last time she heard her fourth sister talking about Wynn, she liked her very much.


    At this moment, Martha stood to the side, her cheeks flushing. At this scene, she lowered her head and


    dared not speak


    ‘What the heck?’


    ‘Fifth Mother?’


    ‘Philip’s fifth mother? How many women did Philip’s father marry?’


    Most importantly, she had offended the fifth wife as soon as she arrived. Looking at the current


    situation, what good would it do to her?


    Sure enough, after talking to Wynn, Nadia raised her eyebrows and nced at Martha coldly. Then,


    she warned Martha in front of everyone, “I’m warning you, this is not the outside world. If you still dare


    to act without restraint as you did just now or do anything on the ind that disgusts me, I’ll throw you


    into the sea to feed the sharks!”


    Thump!


    When Martha heard this, her body trembled and her eyes darted around. She hurriedly hid behind


    Wynn, not daring to utter a word.


    Nadia could not be bothered with this woman. She turned to Philip and motioned for him to step aside.


    “Fifth Mother, what’s the matter?” Philip asked as he followed behind Nadia.


    Nadia looked at the cheering crowd over there before turning her worried eyes to Philip. She stretched


    out her fair and slender jade-like hand, straightening Philip’s cor. She asked, “Did you bring Connor


    and the others back?”


    Philip nodded and said, “Yes, I did.”


    “Release them,” Nadia said suddenly.


    Philip frowned and asked in puzzlement, “Why?”


    Nadia sighed and said, “Now is not the right time. The branch family has been giving us a lot of


    pressure, and your father is also not on the ind today. If the Chieftain of the branch family brings


    people over, it won’t be good for you.”


    “Father is not on the ind?” Philip was baffled.


    Nadia nodded and said, “Your father has always done things without telling us. He did a lot this time to


    bring you back to the ind. You should know that the people who are watching you are not only the


    branch family. Your father is carrying too much burden on his shoulders. I hope you can give in for the


    time being and let Connor and the others go to avoid unhappiness between the main and branch


    families.”

    Philip’s eyes darkened, and he thought for a moment before saying, “Fifth Mother, I know you’re doing


    this for my own good, but I had no intention of letting the branch family go when I returned this time. If


    Christian rke really dares to bring people over, let’s see what he can do to me.”
