The First Heir Chapter 352
Slap! Slap! Slap! The sound of slapping filled the room. Martha’s face had been smacked swollen with patches of her skin blooming in shades of black and blue while blood trickled down the corner of her mouth. All Charles could do was watch from the sidelines. He could scream his lungs out, but there was nothing he could do to stop them. In the end, Tiger came forth with a bottle of medication at the snap of Theo’s fingers. He walked menacingly toward Martha who had long lost her bearings from the slaps. Setting her eyes on the concoction, Martha felt fear creep up within her. Tears streamed down her face while she shook her head as if her life depended on it. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry! Please don’t, Theo. Please don’t make me drink the poison, no, please…” Her begging fell on deaf ears. After clamping a hand over Martha’s throat while others forced her mouth open, Tiger then poured the concoction into her throat. Karma was a b*tch! With her head tilted up as she was force

The atmosphere in the hospital room seemed different. Giada smiled a smile that encompassed the warmth of a spring breeze, one that Philip knew there was more than met the eye. It was a smile that removed herself from the narrative while she mocked and threatened at the same time. Standing from her seat, she walked toward Philip who looked as if his entire world had crashed. She spoke gently, “Take your time as you explain to Wynn, would you? We’ll meet again, very soon.” With that, Giada waved to bid Wynn farewell. “I’ll be leaving first then, Wynn. I’m sure Philip has his reasons to hide from you, so I do hope you’ll keep an open mind and hear him out.” Wynn was about to stand and send her out only to be held back by Philip. With no other choice, she smiled politely. “You can come over next time then, Aunt Giada.” “Oh?” There was a new hint of shock in Giada’s expression at the invitation. Her brows curved into a smile. “Very well then, I’ll visit when I have time. I

“Nope. Whatever you think it is, it’s not.” Philip huffed helplessly as he stuffed a slice of apple into Wynn’s mouth. “Enough about Giada, okay? I’ve got it covered. Oh, and tell me if she comes to look for you again, okay?” Stunned, Wynn hummed a tone of acknowledgment. After finishing the apple, Wynn asked, “Philip... About my mother, what did you do?” Wynn was afraid that Philip’s anger would have driven him to do the unthinkable. It was only natural for her to worry as it was her mother and Philip’s mother-in-law after all. Philip responded serenely, “Nothing much, so don’t worry about it. If she learns anything from this, she’ll start thinking twice before she acts.” Wynn nodded. Her mother was indeed at fault this time, so there was nothing worth arguing with Philip about. Moreover, Wynn had already made her own decision. Two to three days later, Wynn was discharged from the hospital. Martha stayed conscientiously at home. She had spent the last few days livi

Martha glossed over the dishes on the menu only to find that the shark fin cost six thousand 6,000 yuan!The Australian lobster cost 2,000 per entree! Flipping to the page of the Lafite ‘82… 10,000?! “This… Joel, this is too expensive.” Martha began to fret. Smiling, Joel snapped his fingers to call upon a waiter and instructed, “This here is my Aunt Martha. Serve us all your recommendations and a bottle of Lafite, please. Oh, and start up a new VIP membership account as well.” Hearing him, Martha was beyond elated. Joel was better than that good-for-nothing Philip Clarke in every way. Not too long later, all the dishes were served. The waiter approached to courteously hand Joel the new VIP card. “Aunt Martha, this here is actually my classmate’s restaurant. With this membership card, everything is 40% off.” After handing the card to Martha, Joel added, “But of course, everything will be on my tab.” Martha’s eyes shone with mirth and satisfaction as she accepted the VI

“Now that we know, Aunt Martha, he’s easy to deal with. Just a piece of trash, right? I’ll call someone to get rid of him.” Seating himself back on the chair, Joel pulled out his cell phone and dialed, “Hello? Wolf? Where’re you now? I need your help with something. Can you help me teach this guy a lesson? I don’t care, you can break his legs…” Saying so, he turned to lock eyes with Martha who showed no hints of opposition. Martha seemed to hate Philip to the bone. Ah well, clashes between the mother and son-in-law meant it would be sooner or later before Wynn divorced Philip. By then, it would not take him too much effort before Wynn became his. After the call, Martha happily ate at the meal as she discussed with Joel Harris how best to pursue Wynn. “Listen to your Aunt Martha, Joel. Come over tomorrow. I’ll make sure to call Wynnie over too. Then, you bring her out to play. Nurture your feelings and I’m sure it’ll only be a matter of time before you get together again.
The First Heir Chapter 357
The family stared at Philip. He knew who this young master was?Wynn’s eyes lit up as she stared at Philip while the latter spoke as if it was an act of generosity to share the knowledge he had. “The young master of the Clarke Group is actually…” “You?”Martha interrupted abruptly. She said it in a tone of ruthless taunting before Philip could finish his sentence. Snorting twice for good measure, Martha wore an expression of pure sarcasm. “Were you going to tell us you’re the young master? I’ve never realized you’re so prone to lying, Philip Clarke, but I suppose it’s better late than never. Wynnie marrying you is a tragedy!” “Mom, can you not talk to Philip like that? Why are you so opinionated about him when all he has been doing these few years is take your complaints and chides in stride?” Wynn sighed and shook her head dejectedly. It was as if her mother and Philip were mortal enemies or something. She just had to berate or hit him a few times before she would move o

“Stop! Stay away!” Martha shivered down to her bones in fear, still traumatized by the choking incident that night. She darted to hide behind Wynn as she scolded, “Look, Wynnie. This is Philip Clarke! I can’t believe he wants to hit me. Who’s the head of the family here? He’s going too far!” “Haha.” Philip scoffed, too lazy to argue with Martha. Philip had always been a sore sight to her, coupled with his attitude the past few days, Martha could not help the anger that began to boil. No, she had to throw this piece of trash out the Johnston family tree! She had to get Wynn to divorce him! Otherwise, that would be the end of Martha’s peaceful days. “Listen to your mother, okay Wynnie? I’ve already set it up for you with Joel. He’s bringing you out on vacation for a few days. Make good use of this chance, okay? Joel’s family is rich, and he’s the CEO of Hodgson Pharmaceutical too. Don’t let such a great opportunity slip by, it’ll be good for both you and your company.”
The First Heir Chapter 359
Paula’s tone was laced heavily with the intent to make fun. It was one that caused Martha to flush in anxiety as the words cut like knives. Wynn could tell as well that her Aunt Paula was making things difficult for Philip. However, she was in no position to say anything as Aunt Paula was her elder. “Oh? So this is Wynn’s husband. He looks fine to me, though. Yup, all limbs intact.” Frank had not made any motion to stand at all. Instead, he sat on the sofa and sipped peacefully on his tea as he crudely commented. “Haha. Honey, you’re so funny. Didn’t you say he’s a simplistic man?” Comprehending the implications of his words, Samantha hid a smile behind her hand. Philip was confused. ‘What the heck?’ All he did was go out for a smoke, how did he end up being the center of everyone’s jokes when he returned? ‘Frank McDonald and Samantha Benson? ‘You are nothing to me!’Philip’s expression darkened. “What are you doing just standing there? Come say hello. Meet Samanth
