The First Heir by Master Yu Who Smokes

Chapter 790

A deep voice sounded behind Martha. She got such a fright that she choked on a mouthful of water, coughed violently, and stood up in a panic while asking, “What… What’s the matter?” Standing at the top of the stairs, Philip walked down and stared at Martha coldly. He asked, “Did you enter my bedroom just now?” Of course, Martha would never admit it. She said, “No, of course not. Why would I enter your bedroom?” After that, she abruptly raised her voice and said, “Oh, I think Anne went into your bedroom this morning for cleaning duties. What’s wrong? Did you lose something? I already told you that Anne isn’t a good person. She stays here and lives off of us. Now, she’s even resorted to stealing!” Martha tried her best to put all the blame on Anne. Philip glared at Martha before turning around and leaving. Taking advantage of the time when Philip was upstairs, Martha quickly ran into Anne’s room to find a place to hide the jade ring. After thinking about it, she placed it on the desk instead. It was more conspicuous that way. She breathed a sigh of relief after doing that. She ran out of the room and continued sitting in the living room, eating leisurely. Philip was extremely agitated now. He had lost the Sovereignty Seal! How could that be possible? However, he had turned the whole bedroom upside down but just could not find it! It was all his fault. He had left such an important item in the bedroom. It was also at this time that Anne returned with Mila. Martha intentionally tried to stop Anne from returning to her room, so she deliberately shouted, “Oh, Mila’s home. Here, come to Grandma. I have cake for you.” After that, Martha held Mila in her arms. Mila was very well-behaved. She sat cutely next to Martha, smiled sweetly, and said, “Thanks, Grandma.” Seeing that Anne was about to return to her room, Martha quickly shouted, “Hey, Anne, clean this up.” Anne nodded, walked over, and began to tidy up the things on the coffee table. Philip walked down from the second floor and asked, “Anne, did you tidy up the bedrooms this morning?” Anne nodded and said, “Yes, I did.” “Did you notice a thumb ring?” Philip continued asking. Anne looked confused as she shook her head and said, “No, I didn’t. I just did some simple cleaning up. I didn’t touch anything else.” Philip was puzzled as he turned to leave. However, Martha stood up immediately and asked nervously, “Philip, did you lose something?” Then, she turned around, slapped Anne on her face, pointed at her nose, and cursed, “Tell me honestly, did you steal something? You b*tch, you’re already staying here and living off us, and now you’re stealing from us? Tell me honestly, or I’ll call the cops to arrest you!” Anne clutched her cheeks. With tears in her eyes, she stared at Martha incredulously and defended herself. “I didn’t steal anything. I just entered the bedroom to clean up!” Philip frowned. He did not want to believe that Anne would steal.

I saw you sneaking around this morning. You dare to say you didn’t steal anything?” Mila got a fright. Mila immediately hugged Anne’s legs, sobbing and speaking up for her, “Annie isn’t a thief. It’s not her.” “What do you know? Never judge a book by its cover. She’s the only outsider in this house. Who else could it be but her?” Martha glared at Mila and accused Anne. “Dad, Annie didn’t do it. Boohoo…” Mila ran to Philip immediately,

very stubborn, and there was an unyielding expression on her face. Martha was waiting for this. Without further ado, she led Philip to

around in circles before she went directly to the table she had put the ring on earlier. Then, she said loudly, “What’s this? Look at this, Philip. Is this it?” Philip noticed the ring at a glance and frowned deeply. At this moment, Anne panicked. She
