Chapter 86
Philip ran straight into the hospital. His face instantly paled when he saw Wynn lying in the hospital bed. There were a few other
people gathered in the room. His mother and father-in-law, Martha and Charles, stared at Philip unpleasantly. They desperately
wished for this good-for-nothing to disappear from their life forever. Lynn and her parents were present in the room as well, each
of them giving Philip an odd look as if he had committed a huge mistake while they muttered to each other under their breaths.
“How’s Wynn?” Philip asked as he jogged toward the hospital bed.
However… Slap! A crisp smack rang through the air. Martha had slapped Philip across the face angrily.
Her face turned red with anger as she set her frosty gaze on him. “How dare you show your face here
again? Look what you did to Wynnie! I will never forgive you if anything happens to my daughter!”
Martha shrieked as she began throwing punches at Philip, venting all her anger and grievances on him.
Philip merely endured it. He did not fight back, nor did he move at all. Charles cast Philip an indifferent
look as he gently pulled Martha away. He turned to Philip and said in a reprimanding tone, “Philip, we
Johnstons can’t tolerate you any longer. I think you and my daughter should get a divorce. You can go

too. The two of you father and daughter should stop holding my daughter back. I asked you here to tell
you this and nothing else. As long as you nod your head this instant, I’ll give you 500,000 for Mila’s
medical bills. After all, she’s still partially the flesh and blood of the Johnston family.” The room fell
silent and the tension in the air thickened right after Charles finished talking. Everyone was waiting for
Philip’s decision.
However, Philip did not say a word. He would never divorce Wynn. At this moment, Lynn added with a
sarcastic sneer. “Brother-in-law, I think you should take the offer. You have put my cousin through so
much trouble in the past three years, I think it’s time for you to let go. My cousin has a lot of pursuers,
so if you love her, you should give her a better future. Someone like you can never give my cousin a
good life.” ‘Worthless wretch! ‘How dare you still have the audacity to stand there quietly like a block of
wood!
‘A man like you should be embarrassed! ‘ She looked down on Philip even more when she
remembered what had happened earlier today at the BMW
store. Lynn’s father chimed in as well, “Philip, I don’t want to say too much but you can’t go on like this.
You’ll just drag Wynn down with you. Why don’t you get a divorce with Wynn and I’ll give you 100,000
bucks? Just think of it as some money for Mila’s medical bills. What do you think?”
Lynn’s mother immediately cast her husband a stern glare when she heard his words. She tugged him
by his elbow as her expression darkened. “What are you talking about? How are we supposed to dig
out 100,000 bucks? Can you think of yourself before you make any silly decisions!” she muttered under
her breath. Then, she raised her voice slightly as she continued,
“Philip, we don’t have that much money, so don’t even think about it. Your uncle has had too much to drink.” Obviously, Philip
would not think too much about it. He knew how disgusting these people could be. He still remembered how this woman treated
him when he went to her to borrow money back when Mila had just gotten sick. Everyone in the room took turns adding their
personal input, clearly ignoring Philip. Each of them added a word to his humiliation. He was the most hateful person in this
family and everyone thought he deserved to be punished. Philip stood there silently as he endured the harsh words. His fists
were tightly clenched while he watched Wynn who was lying on the hospital bed. Philip took a deep breath before finally raising
his head. “Father, Mother, I won’t divorce Wynn. I won’t agree with this and I’m sure Wynn won’t either.” “You don’t agree?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMartha’s response came out as a high-pitched screech as she pointed at Philip before cursing at him, “What right do you have to
say such things to my face? You and Wynn are getting divorced, and that’s the end of the discussion! I’m taking her to the Civil
Affairs Bureau the second she wakes up! There’s no you and me here. It’s just that simple!” There was no hint of warmth in
Martha’s eyes, just pure rage. She had tolerated Philip for three whole years. She had held onto hope for three long years. Yet,
he was still the good-for-nothing piece of trash that he was. He would never be good enough. If this went on, Wynn would go
down together with this pair of father and daughter. That would not do! For the sake of her daughter’s happiness, Martha must
settle this tonight once and for all so that she could grow old rest assured. Martha liked Aiden very much. After all, he was a good
guy. Though, Wynn did not share the same feelings. Even if Wynn turned Aiden down, there was still Juan. His family was in the
jade business line, so not only was he extremely wealthy, he was one of the prominent figures in Riverdale too. Only a man as
outstanding was worthy enough to be Martha’s son-in-law, and only would a man this excellent be capable of providing her
daughter a good life. Philip was utterly speechless. He had not expected Martha to be so unreasonable and lash out like that.
“Mother, I…”
Philip stuttered. Slap! Martha flung her hand forward until it came in contact with his cheek and screamed loudly, “Don’t you dare
call me Mother! I don’t have a son-in-law like you!” How dare he have the audacity to call her that! Martha was so angry that her
blood boiled with rage.
