The First Heir (First Heir)

chapters 136-140

Chapter 136

Wynn is distraught that Derrick suddenly contacts him and even offers to promote him to vice president. "You know?" Wynn asked doubtfully.

'What would Philip know? He doesn't work at Beacon, and he doesn't know Derrick.' Philip grinned. "Maybe he has a little conscience for what he said to you earlier, and he really wants to apologize." Wynn rolled his eyes at him and said nervously, "Don't joke, I'm talking

serious business here. He'll be here soon. What do you think I should do?" Wynn is worried about accepting an offer to become vice president.

After all, not everyone deserves to sit in that chair. "Don't worry, I'm here for you. I'll break his pig's head if he does something stupid to you" Philip said excessively. Wynn chuckles. His eyebrows are curled and he looks very sweet. For a moment, Philip was brought back to a time when they were still in school. Pure, plain, and sweet. Derrick arrived at the cafe a short while later. He was panting and his forehead was filled with sweat. "Oh, Manager Johnston, I've been looking for you everywhere" Derrick sat uninvited and showed a diplomatic smile on his face.

When his eyes glanced at Philip, they emitted ridicule and condescending attitude. Derrick hates Philip for what happened in the office.

If it wasn't for Philip, she wouldn't have been considered a cheating wife in front of her employees. "Alright, Wynn, we're going to talk about some important corporate issues. Can all unrelated people not take part in this conversation?" Derrick looked at Philip arrogantly. 

Wynn's surprised. He looked at Philip, though before he could open his mouth, Philip said, "Don't worry, honey, I'll wait there. Call me if you need me." Wynn nodded and saw Philip leave. After Philip left the scene, Wynn looked away and said coldly, "Now can you speak honestly, Hall Master? If there's nothing else, I want to go too." Derrick was worried.

"Well, Manager Johnston, I'll get to the point. Do you know Professor Henry Turner?" Wynn's surprised. He's nodding. "I know, he's the director of Turner Hospital. He's internationally famous." He knows Professor Turner very well. She also knew that she had great respect for her husband. Is the problem related to him? Derrick smiling. "Like this.

Earlier, Professor Turner called me and told me that Turner Hospital wanted to work with our company." "That's good news. Let me congratulate you earlier, Hall Master," Wynn said with a smile. "I hope it's that easy. Don't you know, Professor Turner gives the conditions for collaboration." Derrick stopped talking, sipped his coffee, looked

Wynn's puzzled face, and continued, "Their condition is, you can only be the sole representative on our behalf in the negotiations." "Me?" Wynn was shocked and confused. 'What's going on?' Derrick continued, "I don't know the exact details, but Professor Turner mentioned your name. He said that he would only negotiate with Wynn Johnston.

So that's why I'm here to ask for your help, Manager Johnston. Please return to work, if only for the fact that you have been in the company for many years. I'll promote you to be vice president. I'm counting on you for successful negotiations, Vice President Johnston. What do you think ?" Derrick was worried.

He needs to confirm his collaboration with Turner Hospital today.

Derrick notices that Wynn is hesitant, and continues to make more promises. "So what do you think, Vice President Johnston?" Derrick looked at Wynn expectantly. Wynn was silent for a moment. His eyes were fixed on Philip who was standing outside the cafe. 'Don't tell me it's him?' Professor Turner knew Philip. "Your request is a bit too sudden, Hall Master. I have to discuss this with my husband" Wynn said apologetically.

Derrick's surprised. He looked at Wynn doubtfully and glanced at Philip calmly. 'Why should he talk to that useless tramp?' However, Derrick did not voice his thoughts. He forced a smile and continued speaking, "Alright, but please give me an immediate answer, Vice President Johnston. I'll reserve a position for you." Derrick is as honest and sincere as possible. Wynn nodded, took his handbag, and left the cafe.

He walked next to Philip and tilted his head towards him. "Philip Clarke, are you responsible for Turner Hospital's decision to collaborate with Beacon??" That's a direct question. Philip tilted his head and grinned.

"Do I look that good? I happened to mention it in front of Professor Turner. Why, does he really intend to cooperate with your company?"

Wynn is not suspicious of the white lies Philip tells him. Even if her husband knew Professor Turner, Professor Turner should not be swayed by her when making decisions. Professor Turner must have

do his research and decide that Beacons are the best choice. Philip shouldn't have anything to do with it.

Chapter 137

"Md. Turner's Hospital wanted to work with Beacon, but on condition that they would only negotiate with me" Wynn said hesitantly. He lifted his head and looked at Philip, "So, what do you think? Should I take it?"

Wynn is eager to accept Derrick's offer. After all, he did not want to lose his job. Moreover, Derick also promised many benefits for him. He was quite satisfied with the offer. After all, he had to support his family and daughter. 

"I know you don't want to lose your job, Wynn. Whatever you choose, I will support your decision." Philip spoke as he wrapped his arms around Wynn's soft neck, as if they were a couple at the peak of their youth. Wynn nodded seriously.

 "I have to treat Professor Turner to dinner one day" he said with a smile. "Alright, I'll arrange it with him" Philip replied. After the matter was settled, Wynn agreed to negotiate

the Turner Hospital. Also, according to his words, Derrick promoted Wynn to vice president. Everything seems to be getting better.

Meanwhile, at the Johnston family home, Martha Yates is talking to Charles Johnston about finding a partner for Wynn. A stack of photos of the matchmaker is scattered on the coffee table. Those are all photos of elite bachelors. "Oh, Charlie, look at this handsome boy.

They come from good families and their economic qualifications are favorable.

"This one also runs his own company." "Tell me, don't you think our daughter is so stubborn? He sticks to Philip Clarke no matter what I tell him. What good is that rubbish? He has no money or status.

"I wouldn't have to suffer if only he let her go!" "If you ask me what I think, I think we should make a plan so that Wynn will divorce that useless Philip!" The more Martha spoke, the more angry she was towards Philip. Charles wearing his glasses read his newspaper and listened to the news on television.

"Must say, you don't have to worry. Wynn is a grown-up now. He has his own mind." "What is his own mind? Oh, are you glad he's gonna spend the rest of his life with that useless tramp?" Martha was immediately upset. 

"I said, what's wrong with you, Charles Johnston? Why don't you ever care about your daughter Wynn? Is that how you should behave as a father? I was blind to marry you. I'm the one who worries about you, everything in this house. All you do is tamper with the silly things you take out of the trash."

 Martha glared at her husband angrily. Charles was helpless. He flipped to another page of his newspaper and sighed. "Alright, alright. I'll listen to you then. Just do as you please." Martha felt a little better after that. He thought for a moment and said,

"I'll call Aiden. He hasn't visited our house for a few days." Charles remained silent. He looked at Martha, shook his head, and sighed. Beep beep…

No one raised that call. Martha dialed the number several times, but no one raised. "Why didn't Aiden pick him up?" "Maybe he's busy. He runs the company anyway. Maybe you should call her tomorrow?" said Charles. Inside

Meanwhile, the broadcaster continued to report on the news on television.

"According to the latest update received by our channel, Gordon Grant, director of Splendor Education Group, the largest educational institution in the city, has been embroiled in a scandal involving tunnels, collusion, incitement, and other, among other crimes. Chairman Grant has "In other news, Aiden Grant, owner of Stardream Media and son of Splendor Education Group Chairman Gordon Grant, been arrested for his involvement in the scandal ****..." Thud!

Martha's phone fell to the floor. He's really dumbfounded! 'How is it possible? 'Aiden arrested? 'Aiden's father was also arrested?' Martha's dream of getting her daughter married into a wealthy family is shattered. Charles shook his head and sighed while continuing to watch the news reports. 

Martha could not accept it. He almost fainted. "What's going on, Charlie? How can Aiden break the law? He must be framed! No, I have to call Wynn and ask him." Martha was very worried. If he knew who set up Aiden, he would fight them to the death. At the same time, the doorbell rang.

Wynn and Philip enter the house, bringing gifts. "Mom, Philip bought this for you." Wynn was filled with smiles as he stepped inside the house. He had agreed with Philip to go home to talk to his parents. "Mother's father,"

Philip greeted the two elders with a wide grin on his face. He is also prepared for the worst case scenario. However, Martha was immediately enraged when she saw Philip. He rushed over and threw away the gift in Philip's hands. "Who let you in here? Now go!"

Chapter 138

He's acting unreasonable. Philip remained his son-in-law and welcomed him sincerely. Martha threw all of Philip's gifts to the doorway and yelled angrily at him, "If you're still a man, Philip Clarke, don't step back into my house. I, Martha Yates, have nothing to do with you. The Johnston family doesn't accept useless people like you in this house." Martha is currently fretting over what happened to Aiden. He was unhappy when he saw loser Philip Clarke at his doorstep.

'Does he think he deserves to come into my house just because he brought some presents? 'In dreams!' Wynn was frustrated when he saw his mother was unreasonable. "What are you doing, Mom? Philip is here to talk to you," he said fiercely. Wynn turned around to pick up the items, then took Philip and sat inside. 

Martha thought it inappropriate to rebuke her daughter. He stopped expelling Philip from the house but did not show any hospitality to him. "With him here, it feels like a domestic death. Can't he realize that he's ruining the scene?" He pointed at Philip and cursed. 

Philip was angry when he heard that. He clenched his fists tightly, and his expression sank. However, Martha was unaware of all that. He continued to curse, "Wynn, why did you bring this useless item back home? I don't have anything good to say to her. Either you divorce her, or you sever all ties with me and your father. . These are just two options for you. You better choose wisely." 

This isn't the first time Martha has acted so silly. Wynn is helpless. Martha was his mother, and he did not want to anger her any further. "Mom, why don't you just listen to the two of us once?" He said, frustrated, as he sat down next to Philip. She wondered if Martha could sit quietly with Philip next to her.

 Even if Philip had no money or status, it was no way of treating a son-in-law. Martha turned her face reluctantly. "There's nothing to talk about. I talked to your father. You two should get divorced. We don't want that kid.

father and I will pay Philip five hundred thousand. You're gonna cut all ties with Philip and that son of a bitch." Martha was even more frustrated when she was reminded that Wynn had a daughter. Wynn was supposed to marry into a wealthy family.

Having a stepchild would lower her status. That was why the Johnston family was unable to accept the girl. They're thinking about paying Philip. The money will be child support. Philip, the poor loser, would have agreed. After all, it was a count of five hundred thousand princes had he ever seen five hundred thousand in his life? When Philip and Wynn heard that, their expressions became extremely unpleasant.

"Mom, there's a hundred thousand on this card. I've been saving that money for the last few years. It's not much, and it may not satisfy you, but I'm sincerely giving it to you and Dad. You can use it as you please," Philip said with a smile. He had prepared the bank card some time ago.

There are a hundred thousand in it for emergency use. Martha chuckled as she heard Philip say that. "Are you teasing me, Philip Clarke? You don't look like someone who can save a hundred grand. If you have this money, why are you still borrowing money from others? Don't think I don't know that. You've borrowed a few thousand from Lynn Johnston.

You have humiliated my family, you are useless!" Martha gritted her teeth with hatred whenever she was reminded of that embarrassing episode.

He would be kept a secret if his sisters did not tell him.

Wynn speaks on behalf of Philip. "Why don't you trust Philip once, Mom? The money on the card was his savings. He's sincere to you and Dad. Please take it." Wynn pushes the card in front of Martha. Martha saw the card. He still has doubts. 'Hell would freeze if Philip Clarke really had a hundred thousand in his account!' However, he has

there was no reason not to accept it, if Philip was willing to give him the card. He picked up the card and said without further ado, "Again, he should have given up the money long ago. Philip Clarke has never given us anything in the last three years.

Even if there's a hundred thousand in this card, it won't mean anything.it's not enough to replace what he owes us." Martha took Philip for granted. However, it was inappropriate for him to continue insulting Philip. That's why he ignored her after that. The atmosphere in the living room was suffocating. The news reports about Aiden's arrest again.

Martha pointed to the television when she saw that. "See that, Wynn? Aiden has been arrested. Do you know about that?" Wynn was shocked as he continued to watch the news reports. 'Aidan Grant has been arrested! 'How is it possible? It was so sudden! 'Wait a minute ... 'That day, at the Virtuous Court Restaurant, Philip and Aiden had a fight. 'I think Aiden can't be contacted from that day on ...' It was also the day when Philip told Wynn his secret.

Chapter 139

Wynn turned around, looked at Philip, and asked, "Have you done it?" Philip immediately shook his head and replied calmly, "How could I? How could I do something like that? You think too much."

He almost let the cat out of the bag! Fortunately, Aiden had taken it from the back door the other day. Wynn frowned. He didn't think Philip was capable of such a thing either. However, at this time, Martha heard the absurd conversation that was going on between them. He raised his eyebrows, looked at Philip, and asked,

"What's? This matter has something to do with you?" Wynn knew if Martha found out about what happened at the hotel the other day, she would definitely find fault with Philip. Maybe he could even get them divorced once again. "Mom, don't be mad at Philip. This matter has nothing to do with him," Wynn said. "It's better if he has nothing to do with it. Otherwise, I'll be the first to throw him out of the house!" Martha glared at Philip

hard before turning to Charles with a sad look. He said, "Charlie, please and see if you can wonder. What was Aiden's fault? Is this serious?"

Charles sighed helplessly and replied, "OK, alright, I'll ask around tomorrow." "Why tomorrow? Do it now" Martha ordered. Neither Philip nor Wynn were comfortable with this. Martha had never worried about Philip compared to Aiden before. 

After sitting down for a while, Philip and Wynn left. They can't stay any longer. Martha ignored Philip completely as long as they were there. As soon as they left, Martha kept pestering Charles to ask Aiden's situation. Then, after getting a reply, Martha immediately grabbed her bag and left the house.

 He's going to visit Aiden. Moreover, with his savings book, he was ready to withdraw some money and save her. If Philip found out, he would most likely laugh amusedly. She was really unfortunate to have a mother-in-law who was so protective of outsiders.

In bank. Martha had just taken out her savings book to withdraw some money when she suddenly remembered that Philip had given her a card.

After a brief consideration, Martha ransacked her bag and took out a bank card. He inserted the card into the ATM but did not know the password. Therefore, he called Wynn, "Wynnie, what's the password for Philip's card?" Martha was not ashamed. Instead, he felt it was justified.

 At that time, Wynn and Philip were shopping for groceries at the supermarket. Therefore, Wynn asked Philip who was beside him before saying to Martha, "Your birthday is." Slam it! Call disconnected. Wynn, with a confused expression on his face, shrugged helplessly. He said to Philip, "I think my mother went to the bank to see how many were on the card."

 "Don't worry, there's a hundred thousand there." Philip smiled. Wynn tilted his head, crossed his arms, looked at Philip curiously, and asked, "Philip, tell me, how much money do you have? Last time, you told me that there were over a million on your cards." Philip scratched his head, took out another card from his pants pocket, and said, "The rest of the money is here. I slipped it when I ran away from home. Do you want to go to the bank and

check the saldonya?" Wynn grabbed the card, held it in his hand, and smiled cunningly. "I want to see it." Philip smiled in response. However, when his gaze fell on the card in Wynn's hand, his eyes narrowed. He exclaimed in shock, "F* ck! This is the wrong card!" It's finished! He's in big trouble now!

Philip had mixed up the two cards! The card in Wynn's hand is a card with a balance of one hundred thousand. On the other hand, the one he gave to Martha was the one with a hundred billion in it! The card had been given to him by George last time! "I'm done. It's over!" Philip did not care about the cashier as he pulled Wynn and ran out.

"It's bad. We need to find your mother quickly!" At the same time, Martha happily inserts her card into the ATM, inserts her date of birth, and checks her balance. "Oh, there really is money on this card. Let's see how much money." 

Martha could not help but smile on her face. "One, ten, one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand ..." The more he counted, the more he became elated! "A hundred thousand, there really are a hundred thousand!" "Eh, why are there so many zeros?" Martha frowned and her heart started pounding. "This..this..." He started counting again! "One, ten, one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand, one million!" "Ten million!" "Hundred million!"

"One billion!" "Ten billion!" "One hundred .. one hundred billion!"

Chapter 140

Martha stunned! His breath is stuck in his throat! One... hundred billion?! With a thud, Martha fell backwards and landed on the ground.

His entire body began to tremble uncontrollably. Immediately, several people gathered around him as they looked and pointed. "Oh, did he have a seizure?" "Call the emergency number quickly!" "Hurry up and call someone. It looks serious!" Not long after, the bank employee rushed over and helped lift Martha to a chair on the side. 

They then performed acupressure on her and gave her water. Nevertheless, Martha struggled to get up as her hands trembled. His eyes are dull

as he muttered, "Hundreds .. billion." The spectators were confused and did not know what the old woman was muttering. Is he delusional?

At this moment, Philip and Wynn had rushed to the scene. They have received a call from one of the bank staff informing them of Martha's location. "Mom, how are you feeling? Are you all right? Do you want to go to the hospital?" 

Wynn ran and crouched down beside Martha, his face full of anxiety. After all, Martha was her real mother. Needless to say, Wynn would be anxious if anything happened to his mother. Philip followed from behind, and a clear frown was visible on his face. He sees the bank card being held tightly by Martha. 

Moreover, the people around them were muttering something related to the number, a hundred billion. Although everyone was confused, Philip knew exactly what was happening. Her mother-in-law must have seen the amount on the bank card and fainted from shock. He had to think of a reasonable explanation for this matter.

 Judging from Martha's personality, she would most likely argue that the card had been given to her by Philip and would have snatched it. Martha groaned, and her eyelids trembled. Then, as soon as he saw Philip, he jumped. Martha's eyes brightened as she stared directly at him.

Grabbing his hand, he exclaimed excitedly, "Philip, hundred billion ...

hundred billion!" There's a hundred billion on Philip's card! Is that real? Martha could not believe it. Philip was always useless. Wynn hasn't found the answer yet. He looked at Martha and Philip blankly.as he asked, "How many hundred billion?" Philip shook his head and calmly replied, "I'm not sure either. Is mommy..."

Philip had yet to finish his sentence when Wynn understood the point. Therefore, Wynn pulled Martha over and asked, "Mom, what's wrong with you? How many hundred billion?" Martha hummed and held Wynn's hand. He said excitedly,

"Wynnie, the card Philip gave me, there's a hundred billion in it!" The world stopped moving! Everyone quiet! Soon, everyone was dumbfounded. Their gazes fell on Philip, a seemingly ordinary young man. He was dressed shabby and did not look like a rich man. A

a hundred billion bank balance, what a joke! How does that make sense! "Yes my. Didn't I hear wrong, a hundred billion?" "The old woman must have been delusional." "Ah, let's go. He must have just been out of the hospital. Young lady, you better send her back soon. It would be bad if the treatment was delayed." 

The people around them said loudly amongst themselves. Naturally, they did not believe that the card had a ridiculous hundred billion balance. Everyone thinks of Martha as a madman. Even the bank employee shook his head helplessly before turning around and returning to work. Martha became agitated and shouted at everyone, saying,

"That's right. I actually saw that the card had a hundred billion in it. I'm not lying to you!" Martha was a proud man. Clearly, he would not allow himself to be treated as a lunatic by everyone. He got up and approached everyone, telling them that he did see a hundred billion on the card. Wynn's confused.

 He followed Martha around, trying to persuade her while holding her arm, "Mom, stop bothering others. How could there be a hundred billion on that card? You must be wrong. Let's go home, okay?" Martha refused and put away Wynn's hand. He ran towards Philip, looked at him solemnly, and said,

"Philip, tell them you have a hundred billion in your cards." Philip should know. The card was his; he had to know. However, Philip shook his head helplessly and said, "Mom, what hundred billion are you talking about? Let's go home." "No, no way, I'm not going home. I have a hundred billion! You gave me this card, so the money is mine! Hundred billion!" Martha cried out hysterically before rushing to the counter and saying to the young lady behind the teller, "Hurry up and check the balance for me. Tell them there's a hundred billion here!" Bank teller confused.

 He looked at Philip and said coldly, "Master, please take him away. We have other customers to serve." 'How can they remove a mental disorder patient?' Philip pulled Martha aside and said, "Mom, let's do it this way. You sit there and rest. I'll check the bank account balance, okay?" Marta nodded.

He is very confused now.
