Chapter 183 She turned the table over angrily
Philip looked up and subconsciously nced at Joey. He smiled, “It’s up to Martha. I’ll respect her
decision.”
It was a very clever way to answer the question.
It not only showed enough respect for Martha and Mrs. Charles, but implied that he didn’t want to rush
into marriage either.
Mrs. Charles was apparently not happy with the answer, but she didn’t dare to take Philip lightly.
She knew that Philip hade back from South Korea as Yummy Dish’s representative. It was a
globally well-known sushi chain brand with more than two thousand stores and the president was
Philip’s mother. It meant that Philip was the son of the owner of Yummy Dish. His family and the
Charles family were equally influential and wealthy.
Therefore, Mrs. Charles urged Martha to marry Philip as quickly as possible. It her daughter married
into a family as powerful as Philip’s, she would certainly be envied by the wives of other rich and
powerful officials.
However, Martha didn’t agree with her n. She thought it would be inappropriate to lose her temper in
front of Philip. She sulked for a while and suddenly looked up at Lawrence, “Martha is young and could
wait for a couple of years. But you’re twenty-five years old now. Are you seeing anyone?”
Lawrence, who was chewing food, suddenly looked up at Mrs. Charles. She had ignored him for years,
let alone any care for his marriage. What was wrong with her today? He answered coldly, “No.”
It seemed that Mrs. Charles had anticipated his answer. She suggested, “I know a very nice girl
Pam and she seems to like you. I’ll invite her over to have a chat with you in a couple of days. If you
like her, I’ll hold a wedding for you.”
Pam was the daughter of one of her important friends.
Lawrence frowned, but before he could say anything, Martha smashed her te on the table and said
coldly, “Mom, don’t you know Pam’s reputation? Everyone knows that she is a slut who sleeps
around. I bet she’s slept with dozens of men in the past few years. I can’t believe you want Lawrence to

marry a whore. How ridiculous!”
Mrs. Charles was infuriated by Martha’s interrogation and shouted, “They’re just rumors. They might
not be true.”
Martha sneered, “They’re not necessarily groundless. You know better than anyone whether it’s true or
not. Lawrence is a member of the family. A notorious woman like Pam would bring disgrace to the
whole family.”
Mrs. Charles was so angry that she could hardly speak, because her daughter had read her mind and
told everyone else in such a frank way, though she had indeed tried to humiliate Lawrence by
suggesting a marriage between Pam and him.
Lawrence, who had been silent the whole time, finallyughed sarcastically. He looked up at Mrs.
Charles and said coldly, “Thanks for your concern, Mrs. Charles. As your daughter said, a girl like
Pam is despicable and gross. I will never marry her. Of course, if you’d like her to be your daughter-
inw, you could ask your own son to marry her. As for my marriage, it’s none of your business.”
He stood up and suddenly kicked his chair over. He left the table and went straight up to the second
floor.
Mrs. Charles was shocked and infuriated by Lawrence’s rudeness. She pointed at him and yelled,
“Good for you. Now you’re old and bold enough to pull a long face and throw things in front of us. Get
the hell out of here if you have the guts. You’re not wee here, you bas…” She screamed before
said the word.
Mr. Charles, who had been sitting in his chair silently, suddenly stood up and pped her hard in the
face.
Caught off guard, her upper body was thrown t on his stomach on a table full of dishes.
She froze for a second and stared up at her husband with resentful eyes and said sharply, “George
Charles, you pped me. How dare you hurt me? Ah, the dinner is over. I won''t spend another day
with you…”
She screamed and suddenly grabbed the tablecloth with her hands. The table was instantly turned over
and the dishes were shattered all over the floor.
