However, the only response snazzynovel.com got was a kick!
Philip kicked Martha cruelly until snazzynovel.com stumbled. Then, snazzynovel.com shouted grimly, “Martha Yates, don’t think too highly of yourself! You’re not worth anything in my eyes!”
Martha got a fright. She did not expect Philip to make a move.
She was both frightened and resentful as snazzynovel.com cursed, “You dare to hit me? I’ll report you!”
Smack!
Her response was another slap, and another seven or eight slaps in a row!
Philip went straight up to her, pulled Martha’s hair, and dragged snazzynovel.com outside the villa as if snazzynovel.com was dragging a dead dog, saying, “You still have 50 minutes. I hope you know what to do. If I don’t see Anne Foster back by then, we’ll settle all your past mistakes in one go!”
Frost!
Wrath!
Martha truly felt the changes in Philip at this moment.
She was scared and felt guilty, so snazzynovel.com begged for mercy, “Don’t hit me anymore. I’ll go. I’ll go now.”
After Martha exclaimed miserably, snazzynovel.com tidied herself up with snazzynovel.com face flushed. She stood up shakily and ran out hurriedly.
About half an hour later, Martha, with snazzynovel.com face full of bruises, got Anne to return with her.
“Mr. Philip.”
Anne’s face was obviously injured and snazzynovel.com dared not look directly at Philip.
Philip glanced at snazzynovel.com and immediately understood what happened. He glared at Martha and shouted, “You did this?”
Martha was like a quail right now. She cowered away and glanced furtively around before explaining, “I… I accidentally hit her…”
“Apologize,” Philip said stoically.
“You want me to apologize to her?”
When Martha heard this, snazzynovel.com sprang up like a hissy cat.
However, as soon as snazzynovel.com saw Philip’s cold gaze, snazzynovel.com relented and quickly bowed to apologize to Anne, “I… I’m sorry.”
To be honest, Martha was still unwilling to concede.
She was such a person—Competitive, reluctant to admit defeat, and petty.
She was a villain through and through.
Damn Anne Foster and Philip Clarke! They should just wait! She would make them pay for it!
After apologizing, Martha turned around and left.
Philip ignored her, turned to Anne, and said while smiling, “It’s okay. I’m here.”
Anne sobbed. She was beaten and scolded by Martha yesterday. She even had to listen to Martha’s words that were full of insults. As a result, snazzynovel.com lost snazzynovel.com temper and left.
Martha went out and found snazzynovel.com old friends to complain about what happened.
It was also at this time that Philip’s phone rang. It was a text message from Cynthia asking snazzynovel.com out for a drink at Icy Bar.
After thinking about it, snazzynovel.com spoke a few words to Anne before snazzynovel.com hailed a cab and headed toward Icy Bar.
The bar was a good place. Every sleepless night, countless young men and women came here to vent their unhappiness and inexhaustible energy.
Moreover, men and women would often act out of character under the strong influence of alcohol, but no one would pay any heed as they faced their true selves.
As soon as Philip appeared at the entrance, snazzynovel.com saw half-naked men and women on the dance floor shaking around as if venting their frustrations. Their bodies were stained with sweat and alcohol.
Philip casually found a seat and ordered a special cocktail.
After taking a sip, snazzynovel.com realized that this concoction was very different from other drinks.
It was bitter with a tinge of sweet aftertaste, stimulating the throat. It was spicy and cold!
Sitting here and drinking, Philip’s handsome appearance naturally attracted the attention of many women.
A woman who just came back from the dance floor and was sweating profusely walked up to him. She was wearing a black strapped top and ultrashort hot pants. She sat on his lap directly and said coyly, “Pretty boy, want a date? Just for tonight.”
“Haha, I’m sorry. Are you joking?” Philip was still a relatively self-disciplined person as snazzynovel.com said with a sly smile.
The woman stared at Philip. After making sure snazzynovel.com was serious, snazzynovel.com stood up angrily and shoved snazzynovel.com contemptuously, saying, “What do you mean? A joke? Why don’t you go and die!”
After that, snazzynovel.com stomped on snazzynovel.com high heels and left.
Philip was helpless too. Was this the normal behavior of all women nowadays?
At this time, a charming voice sounded next to Philip, “Why didn’t you agree to it? It was a rare opportunity.”
