Upon hearing this, Martha smiled contentedly.
‘Wynnie, don’t blame me. I don’t want this to happen either.’
In the evening, Martha cooked many dishes.
Philip came home and found this scene strange, but he did not say anything.
During dinner, Martha kept piling food on Wynn’s plate, which made Wynn a little flattered.
“Mom, is there anything wrong?” Wynn put down her fork and asked.
Philip also raised his eyebrows and glanced at her.
Martha was startled, but she immediately smiled and said, “How could anything be wrong? You’re pregnant, so I want to make sure you have
enough to eat.”
Wynn nodded and said nothing.
The next day, Philip left early in the morning.
Martha hid in the bedroom and made sure that Philip had left before taking Wynn to the mall.
According to the plan, she took Wynn to the mall and walked around before bringing her into a back alley. She then took the opportunity to go
to the toilet. Martha ran aside, dialed Pockmarks’ number, and whispered, “You can act now.”
Pockmarks and his men were already waiting in a van on the side of the road.
After receiving Martha’s call, they looked at Wynn who was standing in the back alley through the car window. After comparing the photos,
Pockmarks smiled and said, “Boss, this woman is really pretty.”
The leader, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, just took a glance and said, “Move it!”
At the order, three guys opened the door and jumped down. Wearing caps and leather jackets, they walked directly across the street toward
Wynn.
Wynn was still looking at her phone when she realized something was wrong. She looked around and saw three men with sinister faces
coming toward her!
Before she could shout, the other party had covered her mouth with a white handkerchief!
For about ten seconds, Wynn struggled and whimpered before she fainted.
“Hurry!”
The three quickly carried Wynn into the van, put her at the back, and quickly started the car to leave this place. They headed straight to the
farmhouse in the suburbs!
The rapid ringing shocked Martha who was hiding in the toilet!
At this moment, she was sweating profusely and kept walking back and forth. She was holding the phone in her hand nervously.
“Hello, how is it? Is my daughter okay?” Martha immediately picked up the call and asked.
“Don’t worry, she’s fine. We got her. Next, we’ll call your son-in-law.”
On the other end of the line, the brawny man sitting in the front passenger seat glanced at Wynn who was still unconscious in the back seat.
The other guys also surrounded Wynn and ogled at her.
“Boss, this chick is damn fine. It’s a pity she’s pregnant.”
Pockmarks grinned.
The brawny man glared at him and said, “There’s a bottom line to everything. Don’t touch pregnant women!”
Everyone laughed.
Here, Martha hung up the phone, took a deep breath, and sorted out her emotions before taking a taxi to return to the villa.
Before long, she was already pretending that nothing had happened. She sat in the living room, watching TV and nibbling on chips.
Very soon, Philip returned. Seeing that Wynn was not around, he casually asked Martha, “Where’s Wynn? I’m bringing her for a check-up.”
Martha stared at the TV intently and said, “I don’t know. Maybe she’s out shopping.”
Shopping?
Philip frowned. They had made an appointment for her prenatal check-up this afternoon.
Suddenly!
Philip’s mobile phone rang and the display showed an unfamiliar number!
Martha was also shocked when she heard the ringtone and felt very guilty.
“Hello, who is it?” Philip asked.
“Hello, your wife is now in our hands. If you don’t want anything to happen to her, bring two million to the farmhouse. Don’t call the police.”
After that, the call was disconnected!
Philip was dumbfounded!
At the same time, he received a video on his mobile phone.
It was Wynn!
Wynn was sleeping soundly on a bed. It was a small dark room. Many rusty machetes and iron hooks hung on the wall, looking very scary!
The phone rang again.
“Who are you? What do you want? I’m warning you, don't touch my wife. Otherwise, you’ll die without a proper burial place!” Philip roared as
he exploded with killing intent.
Wynn had been abducted!
Damn it!
A sneer sounded from the phone. “If you want your wife and the child in her stomach to survive, bring two million to the farmhouse. By the
way, bring your jade thumb ring along. I’ll give you half an hour! Remember, don't call the police! Otherwise, you’ll see your wife with her
stomach cut open and two lives will be lost!”
Beep, beep, beep…
The line was disconnected again.
The last sentence was full of threats.
Without hesitation, Philip immediately turned around and ran out of the villa, and at the same time, he dialed Theo’s number. “Bring people to
the farmhouse. Wynn has been abducted!”
The other party’s demand for money was a fluke. Their target was the Sovereignty Seal!
In this world, few people knew about it.
Was it Giada’s people?

Martha breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Philip rushing out. Then, she quickly dialed Pockmarks’
phone and asked, “Is my daughter alright?”
“She’s fine, don’t worry. You’re the employer. Of course, we must follow your requirements.”
Pockmarks was in the farmhouse weighing the machete in his hand. With an evil smile on his face, he
said, “Madam, why don’t you come here and see for yourself? You can watch us in action too.”
“Okay, I’ll be right there,” Martha replied, left Longford Park, and hailed a cab to head straight to the
outskirts.
At the same time, Theo mobilized dozens of men and dozens of vehicles. They were all driving at top
speed to the suburban farmhouse.
Theo sat in the car at the moment, full of anger as he shouted into the phone, “What the hell? Aren’t
you supposed to protect Mrs. Clarke in secret? Why did this happen?”
On the other end of the line, a flustered voice said, “Boss, we’ve been following Mrs. Clarke, but this
morning, Mr. Clarke’s mother-in-law took Mrs. Clarke to the mall. It was as if she was deliberately
shaking us off. Then, Mrs. Clarke disappeared.”
“Martha Yates?”
Theo looked solemn. He hung up and dialed Philip's phone but could not get through.
At this moment, Philip had already taken a taxi to the farm in the suburbs.
When he got out of the car, he looked around first. It was very remote.
“I’m here. Where are you?” Philip took out his cell phone and asked coldly.
“Bro, are you kidding us? Where’s the money?”
At this moment, Pockmarks, who was standing in a three-story building somewhere, looked at Philip at
the gate of the farmhouse using a telescope. He saw that he was empty-handed.
“My people will bring the money when I see my wife!” Philip said firmly.
Pockmarks took out the walkie-talkie, spoke to his leader, then took the phone again to say to Philip,
“Walk 100 meters ahead and turn left on the third unit.”
After that, Philip hung up.
At the rusty gate of the yard.
Without another word, Philip kicked the door down!
Bam!
After the door was kicked open, six or seven men carrying machetes and hammers could be seen
inside. They were looking at Philip who was standing at the door with menacing sneers.
To them, Philip looked like a stray lamb that had wandered into a pack of wolves.
“Who instigated you?” Philip asked, his eyes full of killing intent. He clenched his iron fists, a chill
flowing all over his body.
These people were not simple, but in Philip’s eyes, they were nothing but pawns. They were unworthy
of being mentioned!
No matter who the other party was, using Wynn to deal with him was a violation of his bottom line.
They had to be killed!
In a small room not far away, Martha hid in the dark. She looked at the scene outside through the
window with a sneer at the corners of her mouth.
Philip was doomed!
From now on, the villa would belong to Martha, and Philip’s money would also belong to Martha!
Just when Martha was secretly watching the movement outside, Philip had already made his move
against several thugs.
“Brat, you’re very arrogant. You still dare to act this way in the territory of the Northern Six Wolves? You
must be tired of living!”
Pockmarks stood up and pointed at Philip’s nose loftily.
In the eyes of desperadoes like them, Philip was alone and looked very delicate.
To handle a guy like this, they did not even have to use their full strength to obliterate him!
This job was simply too easy.
With a cold face, Philip scanned the six people in the yard. They exuded a brutal and reckless aura.
At first glance, they did not look like ordinary people. It was likely they were wanted criminals!
“Northern Six Wolves? Sorry, I’ve never heard of you. But today, you’ve pissed me off!”
Philip’s voice was very cold, and when he said those words, there was a fearsome meaning behind it.
Would Giada have found these people to deal with him?
Probably not.
This method was simply too crude and completely useless.
“What a punk! He’s so insolent that he doesn’t even care about the Northern Six Wolves! We’re
outlaws. We’ve slaughtered countless people like you. If you’re smart, you’ll hurry up and pay the
ransom. We don’t want to cause any trouble either!”
Pockmarks continued to yell as he brandished the weapon in his hand.
His eyes were bursting with murderous intent as Philip sneered, “I don’t care who you are. If you
abduct my wife, you’ve violated my bottom line and you have to pay for it! Since you’re desperadoes, if
I kill you, nothing will happen to me!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the six people over there burst into laughter. They completely
disregarded Philip’s words.
“This is too funny! Boss, did he say he’s going to kill us?”
Pockmarks’ laughter was the most exaggerated. His face was full of ridicule.
The leader, that brawny man from before, was carrying a hatchet in his hand. He sneered, “Pockmarks,
give it a go.”
“Okay!”
Pockmarks replied, then swaggered toward Philip while waving a long hunting knife in his hands.
“Kid, are you afraid? I’ve hacked someone with this knife before. If you’re scared, why don’t you kneel
in front of me and beg me to let you go?” Pockmarks said triumphantly.
In his eyes, a good-for-nothing like this could be taken out with one hand.
However, against a bunch of weapon-wielding thugs, Philip did not even blink his eyes when he said
calmly, “Come at me together.”
Domineering!
Audacious!
His words stunned everyone!
Together?
This kid was crazy!
Was he really not afraid of death?
“Hehe, what a dumb*ss!”
Pockmarks’ face condensed as his eyes went cold. He rushed at Philip with his hunting knife.
The other men snickered.
They were aware of Pockmarks’ skills. People who fought with him were just seeking death!
This was because Pockmarks never fought with finesse! He would just hack at any fatal points he could
find!
Just when these thugs thought that Pockmarks would take Philip out easily, something happened!
Bam!
The silhouette of a figure flew upside down like a broken kite and crashed into the brick wall of the
yard!
Pockmarks fell to the ground while foaming at the mouth. The hunting knife had dropped next to him!
This scene shocked everyone!
Pockmarks actually lost!
Moreover, it happened within a few seconds!
The other party just gave Pockmarks a kick and he immediately passed out!
At this moment, the leader realized that they might have provoked a ruthless character!
The force of Philip’s kick just now made their hair stand on end!
It was too frightening!
Was he really the useless son-in-law who Martha Yates mentioned?
This guy was more terrifying than desperadoes like them!
“Brat! You’re dead! Boys, go after him and take his life!”
The leader noticed a bit of a problem at this time but he did not think too much about it. He ordered
everyone to rush in and surround Philip!
All of them held deadly weapons in their hands.
Philip dared not take them lightly. After all, the intensity from the other party was not simple. They were
not ordinary people but outlaws.
In the next cabin, Martha clenched her fists nervously as she watched the movement outside.
Martha was flustered and scared.
If they could subdue Philip, then naturally she would not be afraid. However, if they failed and if he
found out who instigated them, then would there be a way for her to survive?
No!
Therefore, Martha was very nervous and looked forward to those people hacking Philip to death!
Only in that way could she survive safely.
‘Philip, don’t blame me. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being too arrogant. Why do
you put on airs in front of me? The Johnston family doesn’t have a son-in-law like you!’ Martha thought
bitterly.
However, in the time she was distracted, she clearly saw some people sprawled on the ground outside!
Philip was standing in the yard unscathed!
This... How could this be possible?!
Was this guy so skillful?
In the yard, the six wolves of the north fell on the ground. Everyone had bruises on their faces, and
some even had their arms or legs severely broken by Philip!
There was no need to show any mercy to these people!
The leader had thoroughly given up at this moment. He had never suffered defeat over the years, but
today, he fell in the hands of an unknown kid!
He knew that the other party would not let him go easily!
Who the hell was this guy with such great skills?!
At this moment, Philip approached the leader one step at a time. He then raised his foot and stomped
on his chest!
In an instant, the brawny man let out a scream!
The pressure on his chest was too much and felt as if he was being smothered by a huge boulder!
Philip looked down at him from high above with a cold light in his eyes as he enunciated each word, “I’ll
only give you one chance. Tell me who made you do this! You only have one chance, so answer me
after thinking it through!”
A threat!
What murderous intent!
The brawny man looked at Philip in horror. Although he had killed people, at this moment, compared to the aura of Philip before him, he was
nothing but a small fry!
At this moment, he truly felt the threat of death in Philip's eyes
“If I tell you, can you spare our lives?” the brawny man asked.
“You’re not qualified to talk about conditions with me!” Philip said coldly, increasing the pressure under his foot.
Argh!
The brawny man screamed and hurriedly shouted, “I’ll talk! Please show mercy!”
“Talk!” Philip shouted angrily.
The burly man glanced at a small room next door, pointed with his finger, and said, “Your mother-in-law made us do this. She told us to
kidnap your wife and threaten you to get the jade ring that you have on you. If you dare to resist, she told us to just... Just kill you.”

His voice trailed off at the end.
Philip turned his head and stared directly at the small room with a pair of bitterly cold eyes!
In that instant!
Martha, who was hiding in the room, directly met Philip's eyes. She took a few steps back in fright.
It was terrifying!
What kind of look was that? Was he going to kill her?
Martha panicked. She was petrified!
In the yard.
Philip exuded a chilling murderous aura as he roared. “Martha Yates, get out here right now!!!”
This roar shook the entire yard!
Martha was hiding in the room at the moment, shaking with fright!
She was doomed!
Did she dare to go out?
Of course not!
Even if she did not end up dying, she would be no better!
Besides, she had made use of Wynn this time.
In the eyes of that trash Philip, Wynn was his limit.
Even if she was his mother-in-law and Wynn's biological mother, Philip would not hesitate to strike out at her.
Thinking of this, Martha dared not go out.
However, in the yard, Philip continued to roar. “Martha Yates, I’ll count to three. Get the f*ck out here right now!”
“One!” Philip said.
Martha circled around anxiously and glanced at Philip furtively. He was still stepping on the burly man in the yard.
Recalling the events just now, Martha was scared.
“Two!”
Philip continued counting as he glared at the closed wooden door.
This was the last chance for Martha. If she still refused to come out, he could not be blamed for being unfeeling.
“Three!” Philip bellowed.
At the same time, the gate of the yard was directly knocked open!
A group of henchmen in black suits rushed in one after another!
Theo had arrived with his men!
When he saw the situation in the yard, he knew that Philip had already solved it by himself.
However, there was no sign of Wynn.
Therefore, Theo immediately ordered his men to search the premises.
As for him, he stood behind Philip respectfully.
Black-suited bodyguards filled the entire area in just a moment while dozens of black Mercedeses were parked in the streets. The scene was
both spectacular and shocking!
The wooden door still remained close and Martha had not come out.
Philip was feeling helpless. The chill in his eyes had reached its extreme as he said coldly, “Get her out!”
As soon as his voice fell, two bodyguards in black suits kicked the wooden door open and rushed in!
“Ah! Let go of me! I won’t go out! I’m staying here!”
Inside the room, Martha struggled and shouted.
Bam!
In the next second, she was dragged out of the room and shoved heavily to the ground. She fell face-first into the mud!
At this time, Theo's people had already carried Wynn out of the basement of the next room.
She was still unconscious.
Philip took a look at Wynn before asking them to take her out. With red eyes, he turned and glared furiously at Martha who was slumped on
the ground.
Thud!
Philip could not tolerate it any longer. He stepped forward, kicked Martha, and shouted, “Martha Yates, are you still human?!”
Martha yelled, “I don’t know what you’re talking about. I don’t know anything!”
She refused to admit it.
No way, Martha knew that she would die if she ever admitted it!
Philip nodded with a chill in his eyes. He went over and grabbed Martha by the collar, staring at her angrily while saying, “You refuse to admit
it?”
Martha was scared out of her wits. She dared not look at Philip at all. She shook her head and said, “I don’t know anything. I was kidnapped
by them too. I don’t know.”
“Bullsh*t! You told us to do this! We received a deposit of 200,000 from you, and you promised us another 600,000 after this. The money is
still in the cabinet in the room!”
The brawny man lying on the ground roared at this moment.
As he finished speaking, a bodyguard in a black suit found a bag of money in the house.
Philip threw this bag of money in front of Martha and asked angrily, “What else do you have to say?”
Looking at the banknotes, Martha still refused to admit it and said, “This is not my money. They’re framing me! I didn’t do anything! Philip,
you have to believe me. I’m Wynn’s mother. How could I do such an evil thing?”
Martha sobbed, her performance top-notch.
Her mouth was still so stiff even when death was staring at her in the eye.
The brawny man on the side also knew this was an opportunity, so he took out his mobile phone, handed it to Philip, and said, “I have a
recording here. In our business, insurance is the most important thing.”
Martha was dumbstruck at his words.
