Chapter 297

Philip turned around and saw his mother-in-law approaching him with a confused expression on her
face. Her eyebrows were twisted into a deep frown, and she looked extremely unhappy.

At this moment, Martha simply could not hide her contempt for Philip.

The two ladies next to her were elegantly and luxuriously dressed. One of them was Martha’s sister,
Paula. Philip did not recognize the other person as it was the first time he met her, but from her looks
and appearance, she was from no ordinary family.

Since both Martha and Paula were trying their best to please the other party, it was conceivable that
her identity was quite special.

“What are you doing here?”

Martha was quite surprised to run into Philip here, but she was even more upset to see him.

She had finally begged Paula to introduce her to a distant branch relative of the Longford family to
bring them for a look at the villas in Longford Park.

However, they ran into this useless son-in-law of hers. If the other party found out about it, would that
not be embarrassing?

“I…”

Philip initially wanted to say that he was about to head to the hospital. He was also carrying food in his
hands.

Paula beat him to it and said instead, “Martha, can’t you see? He’s doing a delivery. Look at what he’s
carrying in his hands.”



Paula ridiculed Philip whenever she had the chance. This way, Martha would be embarrassed too.

Martha took a second look when she heard that, and sudden anger welled up in her. This useless son-
in-law of hers was really good at putting her in a tight spot.

Why did he choose to make a delivery in front of her?

On top of that, it was in front of Madam Sears too. Where was she going to put her dignity?

Sure enough, the graceful and luxuriously-dressed woman with a shawl over her shoulders raised her
hand and placed it under her nose. She frowned and pretended to cough a few times before saying,
“What is that smell? It stinks. Martha, is this poor fellow your useless son-in-law?”

This woman was Barb Sears, the younger sister of Nancy Sears who was wife to Stephan Longfor, son
of the sixth wife. Stephan was a member of the third generation of the Longford family.

Relying on the power of the Longford family, Barb had been acting all high and mighty all these years
and even managed to marry into a well to do family.

Looking at Martha’s son-in-law now, his clothes were clean but ordinary.

It turned out that he was nothing but a poor delivery boy. No wonder Paula mentioned before they
came over that Martha had a useless son-in-law. If a man like this was seen with a food delivery
package in his hands, what else could it be? Of course, he was here to deliver food. He obviously
would not be living here!

This villa area was built by her sister’s husband and was a property of the Longford family.

Barb frowned as she scrutinized Philip. As expected, he was a low-class member of society and looked
the part too. No wonder he could only deliver food.



Poor boy.

Martha was furious now. She stared at Philip and kept winking her eyes, signaling for him to get lost.

Why did this wimp not possess any foresight? Did he not notice the contempt in their eyes?

Why did such a good daughter of hers marry such a worthless wretch?

The three middle-aged women did not say anything but simply stood there with Philip.

Philip wanted to leave too, especially since Theo’s Maybach was parked at the side and Tiger was
waiting for him by the car.

If not for Philip’s signal, Tiger would have approached them already.

“Okay, hurry up with your delivery, then.” Martha could not stand it any longer and motioned for Philip to
get lost.

To be honest, if not for Barb’s presence, Martha would have slapped Philip on the face already.

When she recalled the last time at home when Philip had bragged to Paula about buying a house, her
headache returned.

If not for that matter, she would never have begged for Paula’s help to contact some people for some
discounts on a villa purchase.

Philip was also vexed and suddenly said, “Mom, about the villa, I’ve really bought it. Look, this is…”

When Martha heard Philip addressing her as his mother, she felt uncomfortable all over and said coldly,
“That’s enough already! Stop talking. When are you going to stop bragging? Do you want to say that
you bought a villa in Longford Park? Do you know how expensive the villas here are?”



This Philip was really too dense. Why did he mention this matter now? It was so embarrassing.

Barb was puzzled when she heard this. She turned to Martha and sneered. “What’s going on here?”

Martha was just an ordinary woman, but she had a vicious mouth. She was a little mean and money-
minded, yet cowardly too.

When she heard the change in Barb’s tone, she immediately explained in a humble manner, “Madam
Sears, don’t listen to him. He’s not right in the head.”

However, Paula taunted. “Martha, this is your fault. When I was at your house last time, Philip did
mention that he had bought a villa. Listening to him now, did he buy one at Longford Park?”

Mockery and sarcasm.

It was too obvious.
