The First Heir by Master Yu Who Smokes

“What’s going on? Aiden’s the one who solved this, right? Why is Mr. Collins here for Philip?” “Are you only seeing it now? Who is Philip? Isn’t he just a piece of trash?” “Martha is unreliable. She’s treating us like we’re fools!” The seniors gathered together and started gossiping. Their faces were filled with shock and envy. Martha could see it now. Mr. Collins had come here for her son-in-law. She pulled Philip to one side and asked in a flattering way, “Philip, do you know Mr. Collins?” This was the first time Philip felt this kindness from her. Philip wanted to tell her the truth, but after pondering, he said, “Mom, you’re mistaken. How would I know a man like Mr. Collins? I just called a friend of his and coincidentally, he’s responsible for this. Maybe he’s the one exerting pressure on him?” When Martha heard that, she was not suspicious. She nodded and said disappointedly, “I knew it. You’re just a coward. How would you know people like Mr. Collins?”

Philip frowned. His mother-in-law’s attitude toward him changed so quickly. “Alright, leave the rest to me. Don’t talk anymore,” Martha said coldly. She was worried that a foolish guy like Philip would ruin things by running his mouth. Plus, she still wanted to flex in front of her friends.

She did not know how much influence and power Philip’s friend had over Lamar. When she saw Lamar frowning, she felt even more nervous. She was even ready to change her mind. If it was impossible, then he should just return hers.

smile on his face. “Madam Yates, you’re right. I have to tap into my conscience. We’ll just go according to our initial plan. Everyone will get returns. Please go register now and I’ll ask my staff to get the money from the bank later.” Cheers erupted from the crowd after a few seconds of silence. “Thank you, Mr. Collins! Thank you, Lucrative Funds Finance Company!” “Martha, you’re so amazing. This is all thanks to you and your son-in-law.” “Martha, are you hiding something from us? Didn’t you say Philip is useless?” After a while, the entire group of seniors was sweet-talking Martha.

glared at Philip with a horrible expression on his face. Then, he snuck away silently. That was so embarrassing! Philip beat him! He

the other side of the phone. After he hung up the phone, Aiden punched the steering wheel in anger. He glared at Philip through the car window. “Philip Clarke, I’ll never forgive you.” When it was done, Martha warned Philip when they were going home. “You have to keep this secret for me, okay? If not, I’ll ask Wynn to divorce you! Also, take me to see your friend next time. I have to thank him personally.” Actually, Martha already had a plan.
