Chapter 359
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?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCome 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?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm‘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.
