Chapter 692
Mr. Winters was taken aback, “Phillip, how can you jump to conclusions so quickly when things haven’t been clarified? My two granddaughters had a bit of a tiff with Arabella, but it’s not like it’s escalated to hiring a hitman. There must be someone trying to drive a wedge between our families.”
“You’re saying Arabella is framing you?” Phillip looked very unhappy. If there were a table near him, it would definitely be flipped.
“No. What I’m saying is, shouldn’t we release Enid and Noreen before everything is clarified.”
“You said it yourself, and this was Bella’s call, I can’t override her.” Phillip waved his hand, ready to leave the living room and head upstairs. “Phillip, she’s your grandson’s wife. Doesn’t she listen to you?”
“Well, you’ve got it all wrong.” Phillip turned his head back, correcting him word by word, “Exactly because she is the McMillian family’s granddaughter in law. I fully support whatever she does, and not only that, if anyone dares to bully her, I’ll hold them accountable! You’d better pray that your granddaughters haven’t done anything unforgivable or I won’t let it slide!”
“Phillip!!” Mr. Winters was furious, seeing that Phillip Wouldn’t intervene, “Don’t forget, I was the one who saved your son! Otherwise, where would you get your grandson and granddaughter?”
Phillip stopped and looked at him, his eyes unreadable.
“Put it nicely, the McMillian family owed me a favor. Put it bluntly, the McMillian family owed me two lives!”
If he hadn’t saved Romeo’s father back then, Romeo wouldn’t have been born.
One could say he saved two members of the McMillian family at once.
“So, you’re here to cash in on your lifesaving favor?” There was a hint of contempt in Phillip’s eyes.
“Absolutely!” Mr. Winters was so angry that he didn’t care about the relationship between the two families, “Even if Noreen and Enid did something wrong, I saved your son and grandson so you should let them go, and we’re even!”
“Are your two granddaughters together worth half my son’s life? If the Winters family really tried to murder Bella, don’t expect me to let you off the hook!” “Phillip, one must not forget kindness. I saved your son, gave you a grandson, and now your grandson is so outstanding all because of me. Mr. Winters put the pressure on, “If you feel awkward talking to Arabella, let me do it. Call her now, and I’ll talk to her.”
You want to make things difficult for Arabella? I’m not dead yet! It’s not your place.”
Before Phillip could finish his sentence, his phone rang. He checked and it was from Arabella.
Mr. Winters noticed the change in his expression. Needless to say, the caller must be Arabella!
He was about to snatch Phillip’s phone, but Phillip picked up first.
He answered because he couldn’t bear to hang up on Arabella and didn’t want to pretend he didn’t see.
“Hello? Bella.” Phillip’s tone when talking to Arabella was soft and gentle, a stark contrast to his earlier demeanor.
But Arabella still detected a hint of fatigue in his voice.
