Chapter 723
Martha was terrified. She could not lose the villa. It was her life. “Philip, what are you doing?” Martha asked in a panic although
she had already guessed the answer. On the sidelines, Bernard and Amelia also pointed at Philip sharply and cursed, “Martha,
just look at this wastrel. He’s actually treating us like this. Is he in charge of this family?” These words annoyed Martha. As such
an overbearing person, how could she accept it when others thought Philip was the head of the family instead? Martha simply sat
on the ground, beat her chest, and cried out, “I was really blind to have allowed Wynnie to marry you. You’re nothing but an
unscrupulous turncoat who ate and lived in my house for the past three years. Now, you even want to kick your mother-in-law out
of the house. Where’s the justice in this?” Martha kicked up a big fuss, and her voice was loud, irritating the ears of those who
heard her. The security guards who rushed in also exchanged glances with each other, at a loss about what to do. This was
clearly their family affairs.
Amelia also complained, saying, “Philip, I can see it clearly now. You’re nothing but scum to treat your mother-in-law this way. I
must report you!”

However, Philip only glanced at Amelia and said coldly, “Do you really think this villa belongs to Martha?” “Could it be yours?”
Amelia muttered disdainfully, her eyes full of contempt and mockery. Thud! Philip flung the certificate of property ownership in his
hand to Amelia and said, “Take a good look at it.” Amelia was taken aback. She picked up the certificate and opened it with
trembling fingers. At first glance, she saw Philip and Wynn’s names while Martha’s name was only added later. Moreover, there
were provisions to remove Martha's name at any time. In other words, this villa belonged to Philip and Wynn! Philip was the true
owner! At this moment, Amelia panicked as cold sweat dotted her forehead. After such a big commotion, the villa actually
belonged to this wastrel! Abominable! Amelia made silent contemplations.
Philip seemed to have done a lot of work on Wynn. He was actually able to trick her into putting his
name on the certificate! However, would she dare to say this upfront? Certainly not. Amelia handed the
certificate back with a forced smile and said, “Oh dear, Philip, this is a big misunderstanding.
We’re a family, after all. Can’t we discuss this issue? Why don’t I just apologize to you?” Bernard was
dumbfounded. His wife actually backed down. In that case, this villa really belonged to Philip? Initially,
Lynn just stood on the sidelines. She was not too concerned about staying here.
However, she was also surprised by her mother's behavior at this time! A pair of twinkling big eyes
stared at Philip. At the same time, Amelia quickly pulled Martha aside and muttered, “Martha, why don’t
we just apologize?
He’s your son-in-law, after all. Just keep your head down. If he really kicks us out now, we won’t have a
place to stay anymore.” Amelia was unconcerned about Martha’s feelings. The most important thing
was for her to move in. Martha was startled, and her emotions were in turmoil. She glanced furtively at
Philip several times. After that, she stood up and said reluctantly, “Philip, if I apologize, do you promise
not to drive us away?”
Philip did not respond but just stared at her solemnly. Martha was disinclined, but the situation was
unfavorable for her, so she could only lower her head and say, “I’m sorry, Philip. I was wrong. Please
forgive me.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Amelia quickly followed and said, “I’ve also apologized to you. The

nudged at her husband’s arm. Bernard said sheepishly, “Hehe, Philip, we’re a family.
Let’s just forget it.” Everyone looked at Philip eagerly, waiting for him to speak. Philip frowned, thought for a moment, and said,
“Fine, but Martha, you come with me.” While he spoke, he stared at Martha and caused the latter to feel chills running up her
spine. What was he going to do? Was he going to find fault with her? She had already apologized, right? “You…
What else do you want?” Martha still wallowed in anger and felt very upset.
“I told you just now. This villa will have nothing to do with you in the future.” After that, Philip turned around and went out. When
Martha heard that, she knew things were bad, so she quickly ran after him. Very soon, the two came to the management office of
the sales department of Longford Park. Philip sat on the sofa across from the manager who was in charge of everything in the
villa. “Remove her name,” Philip said firmly. At this moment, Martha rushed in and wailed. “You can’t do that! This is my villa!
Philip Clarke, you’re driving me to my death! I’m your mother-in-law! If you treat me this way, I’ll tell Wynnie!” Philip actually dared
to treat her this way. Martha regretted it and felt resentful at the same time. Philip simply ignored her and just sat there silently.
