Chapter 469
Hudson smiled and did not say anything. The two of them parted ways, and Wynn went back to the villa. Her brain was occupied
by what Hudson said just now. ‘The person I keep seeing? I know him?’ Philip flashed across Wynn’s mind. Could it be him? A lot
of things had happened lately. When Wynn tried to connect the dots, she felt like she did not understand Philip at all. Who was
her husband? What was he hiding? When she thought about that, she opened her bag and took out the bank card Philip gave
her. She decided to check the bank balance tomorrow. One more thing. Wynn rummaged through her drawers and found the
gold card that was imprinted with the word ‘Wallis’. It was given to her by Giada. Giada had told her that as long as she took this
card to any shop with the Wallises’ name, she could find Giada. Wynn felt conflicted. It was not that she did not trust Philip, but
too many things had been happening recently. She needed to verify this.
Especially what Hudson had said tonight. She started to be suspicious of her own husband’s identity. It
seemed that her husband was hiding a lot of things from her. Plus, Giada was Philip’s stepmother. It
was obvious that a woman like her was not just an ordinary restaurant owner. “Wynnie, you’re back.” At
this moment, Martha came in with a glass of warm milk. She was beaming. “Mom, can I help you?”

There was also a gold card as well. Martha felt curious. Wynn smiled and put them away. She said, “It’s
nothing. Right, what do you need?” Martha was not concerned about those things. She smiled and
said, “Wynnie, let me tell you some great news.” Looking at Martha’s smiling face, Wynn smiled and
asked, “Mom, what happened? Why are you so happy?” Martha said, “The villa is now under your
father’s and my names now too. From now on, the three of us will legally own this place. Philip can’t
order us around anymore. Plus, he won’t be able to boss me around as well.” When Martha thought
about this, she was ecstatic. She was finally the owner of a villa. From now on, she did not need to act
according to Philip’s mood anymore. She had been pretending to be nice in front of him for the past few
days. It was so difficult to be obedient. Especially when Philip’s cowardly image was already rooted in
Martha’s mind. When Philip told her he was the one who bought this villa and that he was rich, Martha
could not accept it. “Mom, what did you tell Philip?” When Wynn heard that, she was mad. She
muttered angrily. She knew her mother was plotting this, but she did not expect that she would get her
way. “Hey, what attitude is this? Am I wrong? I did this for the security of our family. Even if Philip is rich
now, he’s still the Johnston family’s sonin-law and my son-in-law. So, he should listen to me. What is
his belongs to me, and it means that it belongs to our family too.” Martha gritted her teeth, her eyes
sparkling. “You weren’t like this before. You wanted me to divorce Philip so badly, but now, he’s your
son-in-law? Mom, you changed so fast.” Wynn chuckled. There was contempt in her tone. Martha was
mad.
She smacked Wynn on the head and scolded. “Say, you’re my daughter.
Why are you always taking the side of an outsider? Even if I was horrible to Philip before, it’s because
he’s just a useless bum. He’s so rich, so why is he pretending to be poor in front of us?” Wynn did not
want to pay attention to Martha anymore. She was so money-minded. She refused to exercise restraint
even when she knew Philip was rich now. She was so stubborn. “Sigh, Wynnie, do you think Philip is
guarding against us? He stayed in our home for three years like a coward. Do you think it’s because he
doesn’t want us to use his money? If this is the case, I don’t agree with this at all.” Martha shook her
head and said, “So, that kid is trying to play this with us, huh? Wynnie, you have to side with me this
time. Let me get my hands on all of his money. That’ll be our compensation. Compensation for what he

was about to die from anger.
“Back then, you looked down on Philip because he didn’t have money. You scolded him and hit him, but did he hold a grudge
against you? Now that Philip has money, you’re still looking down on him. Moreover, you still want to gang up with me to scam
him for his money? Mom, are you a dotard? What are you thinking?” That was Wynn’s last straw. What was wrong with her
mother? How could she be so out of line? Martha was infuriated. She glared at Wynn and scolded. “You thankless wrench! I’ve
raised you for more than 20 years. Do you think I’m doing this for myself?
I’m doing this for you and our family! I’m doing this so that you can have a better future!” “Stop! You know who you’re really doing
this for. I won’t follow your bad examples. Philip is my husband and I believe him.” Wynn said firmly. “You believe him?” Martha
scoffed. There was sarcasm on her face. “Wynnie, I’m not criticizing you, but you’re so stupid. All men will become evil after they
have money. Plus, Philip has been hiding this from us for three years. Do you even know what he has been doing in these three
years? How can you be sure he doesn’t have mistresses outside? What if he already has children with them?” Martha was
enraged when she thought about what she saw this morning in the hospital. Philip was not a good person. All men were trash.
