Philip’s voice was not loud. He smiled at them apologetically.Even so, his words left everyone in the room stunned.Martha especially looked at him like he was a ghost. She felt terrible all over, and she burst out swearing, “Damn you, Philip, no one asked you! Get the hell out!”Martha was beside herself with fury.Philip was such a blabbermouth.“Compare yourself to Paula’s son-in-law! Do you think you have any right to speak?” Martha roared at Philip furiously.“If you weren’t so useless, would I embarrass myself in front of my family like this? I must have been blind to accept a useless piece of trash like you as my son-in-law back then!“Look at her son-in-law, look what he bought for her! What about you? Have you ever bought me anything? How can you say such nonsense on top of that? If you want to go to the party, you can go by yourself! I’m not going!”As Martha howled at him, Philip lowered his head helplessly.It seemed his mother-in-law was dead certain that he was

Wynn blinked. Philip said that as though he knew.How would Philip Clarke of all know who Professor Turner’s patient was?“Alright, I know you’re trying to make me feel better, but since Professor Turner isn’t free right now, we’ll just have to wait,” Wynn said with some impatience.However, Philip smiled and said, “Wynn, do you trust me?”Wynn looked at him suspiciously. It truly felt to her like he was slightly different today, as though he had a little more confidence than he did before.“You’re my husband. If I don’t trust you, who should I trust?” she said with a small smile.Well, that was what she said but it was actually just lip service. When it came to this matter, she trusted Juan a tad more.After all, Juan was rich, powerful, and well-connected. He was even the one who pleaded with Professor Turner to get Mila a fighting chance.Nevertheless, she did not want to hurt Philip by saying that to his face, so she told him a little white lie.Philip was no fool, either.

Philip frowned deeply, frost in his eyes.Aiden patted Philip’s shoulder proudly and said, “I bet you’ll never guess this. It’s already this late in the night, and yet Wynn suddenly invited me to meet here!”Hahaha!That felt amazing!Aiden was ecstatic to see just how ugly Philip’s complexion would turn!Any man would fly off the handle to hear that his wife was meeting another man this late at night.However, Philip just smiled calmly and said, “Oh, and your point is?”He was cool and collected, as though it did not concern him at all.Aiden felt like he was getting an aneurysm.How could Philip stand something like that?“What the f*ck, Clarke! Your wife is secretly meeting me, so why aren’t you mad at all? Don’t you think we might do something a little more after dinner? Aren’t you worried?”Aiden’s words were like arrows shot to the heart.Any normal man would be raring for a fight after that.However, Philip was different.He trusted Wynn, wholly and unconditionall

Wynn was shocked somewhat out of her wits.Why would they call Philip… Mr. Clarke?Wait!This man… This man was the owner of Virtuous Court, Javier Morris!He had personally attended Wynn’s father’s birthday party last time, bringing with him good wine and even a platinum membership card!Besides, Wynn clearly remembered that he had mentioned Mr. Clarke last time too.Back then, everyone was looking down on Philip, so naturally they would never associate that name with him. Only Wynn paid a little extra attention to that, though soon she too forgot about that as well.Now, though… Right here and now...Javier had approached them once again. This time, he was respectfully calling her husband Mr. Clarke!No matter how ignorant Wynn might be, by now she would have started to piece some things together.So that night, Javier had given her father that gift in Philip’s stead, huh?It went without saying that Philip noticed the gears turning in Wynn’s head.Crap. She must be onto

Wynn’s eyes widened. They had been married for so long, but even now she did not know about Philip’s past. His parents did not even congratulate them in person at their wedding.Wynn had asked him many times before this, but he had glossed over the question every time.After a long time, Wynn began to assume that Philip was an orphan who did not want to relive his painful past, so she stopped asking.However, the way Philip held himself today, his methods or rather his attitude, all of it was vastly different from the mild-mannered wimp he had always been before.He had changed. All of a sudden, she could not quite recognize him anymore.Even so, Wynn could tell that his love for her was sincere.“Are you finally willing to tell me?” Wynn asked uncertainly.Philip nodded and looked up at the deep sky. Keeping a completely straight face, he said, “Actually, Wynn, my family is quite wealthy. I never told you because I had a huge fight with my parents and ran away from home.”“You
