Chapter 154

Back to Philip. After he got out of Juan’s mansion, he got into Theo’s car and drove to George’s place.

“Old Man George, it’s so late. Why are you here?” Philip sat on the soft sofa and savored his wine.

George walked in front of Philip respectfully and bowed. He said, “Young Master, I’m sorry. Mymistakes have caused you to suffer unredressed injustice.”

Philip replied indifferently, “Old Man George, don’t do this. It’s nothing. Tell me, what’s wrong? Why areyou so anxious to see me?”

George pondered for a while and answered deferentially, “Young Master, Miss Sommerset will becoming to Riverdale in a few days.”

Clank!

The room plunged into dead silence.

Philip’s wine glass was suspended in the air. After a long while, he placed it on the marble coffee tablethat was adorned with gold lining. His face looked glum.

His eyes looked lifeless. He looked as if he had something on his mind.

After a long while, Philip asked while lifting his eyebrow slightly, “Why is she coming here?”

Chloe Sommerset was a brilliant woman. She was also a proud woman with her own strong views.

She was Philip’s childhood sweetheart.

She was the youngest daughter of Hans Sommerset. The Sommerset family was a big shot in CapitalCity. Hans was the third generation of the Sommersets, making Chloe the third young lady of thefamily.

She was the most beloved child in the family, which meant that she was spoiled and pampered to noends.

“Young Master, Miss Sommerset still holds a grudge on you for leaving the engagement party backthen without a word. Perhaps she came to Riverdale to ask you for an explanation.” George squintedhis eyes. He could see through this but he refused to reveal the actual facts. He was a sly old fox.

The young master had been a playboy back then. He was responsible for a lot of lost love.

It was as if Miss Sommerset was the one who helped him take care of all of his debt of love back then.

How did she do it?

With money.

However, the young master left without saying a word and it hurt Chloe a lot.

The reason she came to Riverdale this time might not be so simple.

Philip was annoyed. He was remorseful toward Chloe, extremely remorseful.

“I got it. You have to keep this a secret, especially to Wynn, okay?” Philip frowned. There were all kindsof emotions in his heart.

If Wynn knew that Philip had a fiancée, how would she feel?

Would she ask for a divorce?

Definitely.

He had to hide this from Wynn. Even if he had to explain it to her, he needed to replace a good opportunityto do it.

He did not have the mood to continue sitting here anymore. He got up and left. His face was glum.

George drove Philip to the Old Johnston Manor himself.

“Young Master, I should go now,” George said respectfully and was about to get into the Bentley.

However, Philip said, “It’s late. You should come in.”

George was stunned. He asked curiously, “Is this okay, Young Master?”

“It’s fine. No one knows you. Plus, I should replace an explanation for why I came out. As for the reason,please come up with one yourself,” Philip said.

After he said that, he led George into the Old Johnston Manor.

George sighed helplessly. He could never understand what his young master was thinking about.

He asked his subordinates to drive the Bentley to another street before following Philip.

At this moment in the Old Johnston Manor, Wynn was crying uncontrollably. Her eyes were red.

“Dad, you have to save Philip. He was framed!”

Charles sat on the sofa, his face red from anger. His lips were twitching. “I won’t make this call! Philipwas the one who caused this mess, so he should be the one taking care of it! If he was really framed,naturally, he would be let out.”

Charles was livid. This was so embarrassing!

How could his son-in-law do something like this!

Martha was also furious. Her face was filled with shame and anger as she roared, “Good-for-nothing!Scum of a community! He ruined our family name! Wynn, I told you, that spineless coward is not agood man. You refused to listen to me and insisted on being with him. Now, look at what hashappened. You’ve seen everything. He’s just a useless bum with the heart of a beast! Go get a divorcewith him tomorrow. You have to do it this time!”

Martha was livid. Her daughter had told them about this the second she got home.

At that moment, Martha’s face fell.

Her son-in-law was really going to embarrass them to no end!

How would she live if this got into the ears of her neighbors?

She should grasp on this tightly so that she could force her daughter to get a divorce.

Wynn covered her face and wailed.

Her parents refused to help her. What should she do?

At this moment, the doorbell rang.

Martha was furious, so naturally, she was hot-tempered. She shouted, “Who’s that? You cretin, why areyou ringing my doorbell in the middle of the night?”
