Female Novel
Chapter 317 Philip's Purpose
Amy was thinking why Allison didn't come, so she was staring blankly at somewhere. Eliana nudged
her, trying to make her concentrated and reminding her that they needed to deal with Philip later.
"Mr. Philip, why did your wife not come? I guess you should come together. It's such a good chance to
see us suffered. Isn't it a pity that she's not coming?" Amy asked Philip.
"You mean Alison? Oh, she's not my wife. She's just my assistance. She pretends to be my wife for
work. I pay her for that." Philip hurriedly clarified their relationship.
"Please have more. Is there another old saying? 'Each grain is hard.' What a pity is to waste these
dishes." Philip was persuading them to eat more.
He moved the delicious dishes towards them.
Amy thought that it was being bad to herself that she didn't eat, since she had already been here. Philip
was detestable, but it was not the fault of those dishes. Thus, she started eating.
Noticing that, Eliana also began having the meal. She was hungry at this time. She found Philip's old
face and weird voice became tolerable when she was enjoying the dishes.
The dishes were consumed as soon as they started eating. They both held the belief that eating was
the top priority no matter what happened.
They had the dishes but not the wine. They were cautious about Philip who was not a good man.
After eating up the meal, they took a sip of tea. Then, they were staring at Philip, waiting for him to put
on a show.
"Have you finished off yet?" Philip found them almost eat up the dishes, so he put down the chopsticks
as if he was about to begin the show.
"Yes. Please tell us what you've planned to say." Eliana leaned on the chair, drinking tea and thinking
about how to deal with him.
"Well, let me start with my story. Three years, I met Mr. and Mrs. Newell in France. I guess you can
remember that, Mrs. Newell." Philip talked about things three years ago.
"Of course I remember that absurd thing." Eliana tried hard to control her temper and not to slap him on
his face when answering him.
"Oh, you find it absurd? I don't think so. Heroes love beauties. Though I can't be deemed as a hero, I'm
a real man at least." Philip didn't get mad about her words.
"I will help you out, if you agree to my demand." Philip kept checking Amy out.
Amy was not a fool. She had guessed what he was up for.
"Mr. Philip, it's a slim chance that we will accede to your request. We will take care of the problem on
our own. We're going if you have nothing else to say. Eliana grabbed Amy's hand. She was going to
throw up for even just having the thought that a dirty old man coveted her daughter. Her daughter wasnovelbin
an excellent woman while Philip was older than her and not long for him to be buried in the grave.
"Do you really not give it a second thought? You can't afford that compensation in such a short time. If
you can't afford it, the Newell Group will be auctioned." Philip got anxious seeing them leaving.
"I won't do what you want even at the cost of mortgaging the group." Eliana left holding her daughter's
hand.
"You will come back and beg me. I don't think you will let the group go bankrupt. What a cocky woman!"
Philip hissed, watching them leaving.
Three years ago, he ran into Amy in a party. He was attracted by her disposition and appearance at the
first sight. Later, he learned that she didn't with any man and became eager to have her.
He told Mr. Newell in earnest that he wanted to marry Amy. Hearing it, Mr. Newell were about to laugh.
He made up an excuse that Amy had married, but her husband didn't stay around.
However, Philip had been investigating Amy for a long time and found that she didn't have any contact
with any man. So he realized that Mr. Newell lied to him because he thought lowly of him.
After Amy came back to China, he followed her here. He held a grudge against Mr. Newell, so he set
up a trap for Amy to destroy the Newell Group.
"Mom, how did he know me?" Amy had never noticed Philip, only hearing his name from her father.
She thought Philip was a good friend of her father.
"It was at the wine party. He fell for you at the first sight. He mentioned it to your dad and your dad
turned him down immediately. I have no idea that he would hate us for that. That's why he is now taking
revenge on us." Eliana briefly explained what had happened.
Amy didn't know the reason for all this until now. 'How awful Philip is! It's not wrong to like a person, but
it's a shame to ruin others.'
"Mom, what should we do now?" Amy got headache for it. It was her that led to the difficulty for the
Newell Group. It might cause many people losing their jobs. She couldn't let it happen.
"It'll be okay. If we can't save the group, we just let it go bankrupt, you go back to France with me and
run the business there." Eliana was protective of her child. She could give up everything but her
daughter.
Her words gave Amy a warm feeling. She always had the feeling that she had a good mom during the
five years that she lost her memories. Now she found that her mom was more than good. She was
great. She was willing to give up everything for her.
Eliana was still comforting Amy after they were home. She asked Amy to have a rest since she had
been exhausted recently.
Amy knew surely that her mom asking her to stay at home was because she was going to find
solutions on her own and tried to stop her worrying.
Amy kept tossing and turning on the bed and couldn't fall asleep, though she wanted to.
'What should I do? It's all my fault if the Newell Group go bankrupt. My father appointed me to be in
charge of the group, but I'm going to let him down now.'
'I can't sit still. I have to make up for my own mistake. I can't let others suffered because of me.'
Amy made her decision and got up immediately.
