The First Heir (First Heir)

chapter 48

After Martha left, she went to the park to meet with her friends. After meeting her friends, they start asking about each other. When they came to the topic of their son-in-law or daughter-in-law, everyone became enthusiastic because their son-in-law was fine, and their daughter-in-law was filial. Only Martha was silent while smiling flatly.

"Hey, Martha, how's your son-in-law, Philip, lately? I heard he made the delivery." A flamboyant-clothed middle-aged woman suddenly exposes Martha viciously. Because every meet must be talking about Martha's daughter-in-law. It has become the norm.

"Oh, Martha, why is your daughter-in-law so bad? Why don't you ask your daughter to divorce her as soon as possible?"

"That's not gonna work. If they get divorced, it will be a second marriage if she remarries. No one wants it. She even has an extra burden, men today don't like single mothers."

"That's right. Who wants to raise someone else's child?"

The women's comments were rude. On the surface, they seemed to be thinking about her daughter, but underneath, they might enjoy her misfortune.

Martha gritted her teeth in anger, feeling extremely embarrassed. He forced a smile and said, "I will definitely force my daughter to divorce that trashy son-in-law! At most, I just have to take care of her for the rest of my life."

Everyone noticed the dark expression on Martha's face, so they stopped talking about it and changed the subject until they arrived at the financial company.

On the other hand, due to the live broadcast, Philip's incident went viral. However, in an instant, any media that reported this incident immediately deleted the content. Even the video is gone. It was like a rock falling into a lake. That was never heard from again.

Inside the beauty salon, Ruby Ford made plans with some of her friends for spa treatments.

Ten minutes earlier, his friend, Helen Bennett, wearing a short white robe with hair on a towel and a mask on her face, walked over and said, "Kids, I found a very big tycoon!"

"what kind?" Ruby lay on her back, enjoying the massage service as she asked without opening her eyes.

"Three hundred million! This guy spent three hundred million to get our city's Prime Harvest Group!" helen exclaimed, her eyes filled with envy and excitement. "You all know that rich young master, Leon Larson, right? His company was bought by this tycoon."

At the mention of three hundred million and Leon, the girls quickly sat down and rushed to see Helen's phone. It was just a short clip, and Helen had downloaded it with great difficulty from the social media site. The quality of the video is blurry, and also watermarked.

"Who is that? Do you know him? Take him out to see us."

"Eitherway. It doesn't seem like he's familiar."

The girls all snatched the phone, trying to see the man's face better. Three hundred million, how rich he is! When Ruby saw the video, she frowned. He felt the silhouette in the video looked very familiar. Philip Clarke's? Not impossible! That guy was so broke that he even borrowed money from Howard.

Ruby did not think too much about it and continued to discuss the man who had just spent three hundred million. He's also a father! How manly!

Back to Philip. Wynn walked in front of Philip with Mila in his arms while he followed behind. They continued walking in silence until the residential gate.

Suddenly, Wynn stopped. Mila was asleep in her arms. Wynn turned to look at Philip and said, "The incident was today, thank you."

Early today? Oh, that incident at the Celestial Club. Philip said solemnly, "Wynn, you are my wife. If something happens next time, you'll have to tell me beforehand."

Wynn nodded in understanding. When she wakes up from the hospital, she finds out that it was Philip who saved her. But he doesn't know how he did it. He had planned to ask her tomorrow because he knew that Gavin and Jeffrey were not easy to deal with. With just her husband's status, she probably won't make it. So, Wynn thought that someone else must have helped him. Or maybe, help him. Could it be the person who helped him secure a million dollar contract with Victory Pharmaceuticals back then? Who exactly is he?

The whole night went on in silence.

Early the next day, Wynn went to work. Philip pretended to pack, then he carried Mila, preparing to leave. She had just stepped out of the house when her mother-in-law called. As she replied, from the end there came Martha's desperate voice, saying, "Philip, hurry to Rivercross Street in ten minutes!"

Before he could ask why, the call ended. What is the urgent matter that makes him sound so anxious? Philip is used to it. He looked at Mila and decided to send her to the company for Agnes to take care of him for a while. After which, he hurriedly hailed a taxi from the office to go to Rivercross Street.

As he exited, he saw a large group of middle-aged men and women surrounding the tightly shut doors of the financial firm as they argued fiercely with several men and women in suits.

"What are you doing? You're five minutes late! Growing cheeks? Just blatantly trying to disrespect your mother-in-law!" Philip had just reached when Martha came over haughtily and started scolding him.
