Wynn paused and looked at Philip suspiciously. She was very confused.

Uncle Mont and his family had already insured them to such an extent, so why was Philip saying they would stay? Martha was enraged too. She had already stood up and prepared to leave, but she froze when Philip said that.

now the chairwoman of her company. Why should we bow to them?" Philip said, rather crossly. The moment he said that, the atmosphere in the room changed. The Renners all looked at Philip and then at Wynn, eyes narrowed in suspicion. "The chairwoman of her company, you say?" Fern echoed, her tone far from friendly. The fog in Martha's head cleared, and she instantly regained some of her usual confidence. That was right, Wynn was a chairwoman now, and she even knew Master Clarke from the Capital City Clarke Group. Her company even received an investment of a billion bucks from him.

A stylishly-dressed woman gasped in visible surprise and envy. Cindi replied with a polite smile, "You're flattering me, Aunt Sunny. I'm just there to gain some experience." "Wow, but that's Lambda! That's much better than what my son's doing. He's working at Hingston Estates. You two should get to know each other when you have
