Chapter 111

There was a middle-aged woman in her forties or fifties behind Martha. She was very fashionably dressed, a little on the plump side. She had a red LV

bag, a jade bangle, a gold chain, and even a stylish older-lady perm.

Everyone could feel her aura the moment she walked in. She oozed luxury!

time they met, over the same old things. Paula had a daughter who married a rich husband. The man had his own company and good connections in society, so Paula’s social status rose accordingly. Life was pretty good for her now. It was obvious in

younger sister’s stormy expression, she covered her mouth with her hand and giggled. “Oh my my, remind me again, Martha. Has Philip ever bought you anything?” She was arrogant, proud, and full of sarcastic barbs. From the moment she walked through the door, Paula had kept her nose firmly in the air. Martha was so furious that her body trembled. She glared at Philip and berated him, “What did I do in my past life to deserve a son-in-law as useless as you? You’re an utter embarrassment to me!” Philip had nothing to say to that. The atmosphere was extremely awkward now. Wynn was rather unhappy now too. Her aunt had always looked down on her family, all because she thought Philip was useless, especially when compared to her rich son-in-law. That was why her aunt would drop by every so often, saying she was here to visit her sister when she actually came to show off and make jabs at them.

She hastily shoved Philip aside and even glared at him before yanking Juan by the arm and beaming. “Oh, this is Juan. His family is quite well to do, they’re in the gem business and they earn several tens of millions every year too. He’s Wynn’s good friend.” Paula’s eyes seemed to shine when she looked at Juan now. When she saw how proud Martha looked, though, her expression cooled down as well. The two old women had been squabbling like this for years. Of course they understood each other. Martha was probably hoping that Juan could become her new son-in-law. Paula immediately gave them a smile of faux politeness. “Why, what a nice young man.” Inwardly, though, she had cursed Martha to hell and back. Martha wanted a rich sonin-law now? Hmph! Her daughter Wynn was already married and even had a kid. No one would want a woman like that. Still, Paila could not say that out loud. With that thought in mind, she gave Philip a look of pure irony too. Philip Clarke was seriously such a waste of space. Even his mother-in-law wanted to get rid of him. Martha’s heart brightened once she saw
