Chapter 58

“What’s going on? Aiden’s the one who solved this, right? Why is Mr. Collins here for Philip?” “Are you only seeing it now? Who is Philip? Isn’t he just a piece of trash?” “Martha is unreliable. She’s treating us like we’re fools!” The seniors gathered together and started gossiping. Their faces were filled with shock and envy. Martha could see it now. Mr. Collins had come here for her son-in-law. She pulled Philip to one side and asked in a flattering way, “Philip, do you know Mr. Collins?” This was the first time Philip felt this kindness from her. Philip wanted to tell her the truth, but after pondering, he said, “Mom, you’re mistaken. How would I know a man like Mr. Collins? I just called a friend of his and coincidentally, he’s responsible for this. Maybe he’s the one exerting pressure on him?” When Martha heard that, she was not suspicious. She nodded and said disappointedly, “I knew it. You’re just a coward. How would you know people like Mr. Collins?” Philip frowned.
