Paula’s tone was laced heavily with the intent to make fun.
It was one that caused Martha to flush in anxiety as the words cut like knives.
Wynn could tell as well that her Aunt Paula was making things difficult for Philip. However, she was in
no position to say anything as Aunt Paula was her elder.
“Oh? So this is Wynn’s husband. He looks fine to me, though. Yup, all limbs intact.”
Frank had not made any motion to stand at all. Instead, he sat on the sofa and sipped peacefully on his
tea as he crudely commented.
“Haha. Honey, you’re so funny. Didn’t you say he’s a simplistic man?”
Comprehending the implications of his words, Samantha hid a smile behind her hand.
Philip was confused. ‘What the heck?’ All he did was go out for a smoke, how did he end up being the
center of everyone’s jokes when he returned?
‘Frank McDonald and Samantha Benson?
‘You are nothing to me!’
Philip’s expression darkened.
“What are you doing just standing there? Come say hello. Meet Samantha’s husband, Frank
McDonald.”
Martha barked out.
There was not much Philip could do but walk. Smiling, he reached out his hand and said, “Oh, my
brother-in-law! Hello, I’m Philip Clarke.”
Frank gazed at Philip’s hand aloofly before frowning and speaking in a cold tone, “My pleasure.”
His tone was diffident and extremely belittling, considering he did not shake Philip’s outstretched hand.
It was an act of condescendence right in Philip’s face. Frank was completely looking down on Philip by
ignoring his presence.
Embarrassing, a disgrace.
Philip stared blankly before smiling politely anyway and retrieving his hand. Inconspicuously, he gave
the man standing in front of him a once-over. While he found the man looking the part, he had dark
eyebags that were most probably due to overworking and stress. He also had a pair of frivolous eyes
that glanced indecently at Wynn who sat adjacently.
‘Haha.
‘Nothing too good, after all.’
Philip was pissed. Who was Frank McDonald to eye his wife like that?
He walked over and sat beside Wynn, covering her smooth and slim thighs with a blanket. He spoke in
a gentle voice, “Keep warm, it’s getting cold.”
Frank chuckled but did not comment on anything.
Martha, on the other hand, was irked. Frank’s condescending behavior must have been taught by
Paula that b*tch.
Glaring intensely at Philip, irritation spiked in Martha. Trash would always be trash, never to be
respected by anybody!
Feeling the need to fill in the awkward silence, Martha asked out of the blue, “Sister, I thought Frank
was working in real estate along with your husband? Why did he suddenly switch jobs to work at
Rocket Pharmaceutical? What enterprise is this? Is the pay high?”
“Haha, Martha, I suppose this is where I fill you in. Frank, unlike Philip, is aiming for all-round
development, after all. He is more outstanding than a delivery boy. He had only started a few months
ago, and as for his salary, he earns around 400,000 yuan a year. Though it may not be as much as he
used to earn, this new job allows much room for further development.”
Paula’s expression shone with one of pride and arrogance, fully showcasing her admiration of Frank.
Admiration of which, hinted at a different kind of love.
One that Philip caught on with one look.
Sparks seemed to fly the moment Paula and Frank locked gazes.
‘What the f*ck?
‘These two…
‘Does Samantha know?’
“Wow! Your husband sure is talented! What a promising fellow, such high pay he has!” Martha was
envious.
That piece of trash named Philip Clarke could only count monthly salaries.
“By the way, what kind of company is Rocker Pharmaceutical?” Martha asked.
“It’s a public listed company from Capital City. It’s on the Fortune Global 500, owned by a subsidiary
company under Capital City’s Clarke Group.”
Samantha added pridefully, “You’ve heard of Capital City’s Clarke Group these few days, right? They
have more than hundreds of billions worth of assets within the country itself! My husband over here has
gotten into Rocket Pharmaceutical with his own skills. I’m sure he’ll have a bright future in front of him.”
Samantha made sure to glance at Wynn as she showed her husband off.
Naturally, Samantha’s prideful gaze did not go unnoticed by Wynn. Not that Wynn Johnston found it in
her to care, though.
Philip was the best in her eyes, even if everyone in the world was better than him.
So what if he was a piece of trash?
He was still the Philip Clarke she had grown to love.
