S31 23. Conspire

“Conspire?” Philip sighed in disbelief. “They are your grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Isn’t it natural that I take them to meet you? Especially the twins. Louis and Emily are very excited to meet you.”

“Nonsense!” Diana’s breath roared again. Her clenched hands started to tremble.

“You think I don’t know? You’re the same as those Harper people. It’s not me who has changed, Philip, but you! You’re the one who’s infected with cunning and greed. Don’t make it worse with your charade.”

Philip pulled his head backward. After getting up, he whispered,” What’s gotten into you, Grandma? Since yesterday, you’ve kept mentioning that Frank and Kara were acting. Now me? You think the memories I told you before were fake?”

Diana gritted her teeth. She got up then started pushing Philip.

“Go! I can’t stand you anymore! Go!”

Philip sighed in disbelief. He stepped back, just to give himself some distance. “You kick me out?”

Unexpectedly, Diana raised her index finger. Her jaw throbbed. “Put the mask away! I don’t need it. Please stop and admit it, Philip! You came here for an apartment, right? You brought those people here for the payoff.”

All Philip’s muscles froze. His eyes weren’t even blinking. “Where did you get that information?”

Diana laughed in pain. “Are you surprised? Same! I was surprised too. I really didn’t expect that an innocent boy would grow up to be as

petty as you.”

Philip swallowed bitterly. His head shook. “That’s not true. What you heard was wrong.”

“You still want to deny it?”

“It’s true that I was offered the apartment, but my intention to bring

Frank and his family here was not for it. I don’t even mind if the apartment doesn’t be mine.”

Diana took a breath, about to speak. However, Philip’s palm rose, asking for a pause.

“I knew what it’s like to be alone. That’s why I thought you also harbored that feeling. I thought by inviting them here, your longing could be relieved. I just wanted to unite a family that had been separated for a long time.”

Diana laughed again in pain. “My life is fine without them. You still don’t get it?”

Suddenly, Diana pushed Philip towards the stairs again. “Now get lost. Get out of this house! I don’t want anything to do with you and your friends anymore. I don’t want to see your face anymore.”

However, Philip was fixed at his position. He was still trying to find a way to break down the misunderstanding.

Diana became even more furious. She hit Philip harder, and screamed louder. Her noise made everyone gather on the front porch.

“Grandma? Oh my God,” Abigail caught Diana’s arm and pulled her away from Philip. “Grandma, calm down.”
