The First Heir by Master Yu Who Smokes

Chapter 111

There was a middle-aged woman in her forties or fifties behind Martha. She was very fashionably dressed, a little on the plump side. She had a red LV

bag, a jade bangle, a gold chain, and even a stylish older-lady perm.

Everyone could feel her aura the moment she walked in. She oozed luxury!

was

a rich husband. The man had his own company and good connections in society, so Paula’s social status rose accordingly. Life was pretty good for her now. It was obvious in the way she dressed. She reeked of money. It was as though she wanted to wear all of her fortunes wherever she went, so that everyone would envy her. Case in point, Paula gave Philip the stink eye as soon as she walked into the room and

He’s in property, you know, and he can give you a discount.” As she said that, she even touched her new perm to show off the jade bracelet on her wrist. “Oh dear, Richard is such a pain sometimes. I told him not to buy this for me, but he insisted. This bracelet is worth eighty thousand, you know.” Paula spoke to herself casually. When she saw her younger sister’s stormy expression, she covered her mouth with her hand and giggled. “Oh my my, remind me again, Martha. Has Philip ever bought you anything?” She was arrogant, proud, and full of sarcastic barbs. From the moment she walked through the door, Paula had kept her nose firmly in the air. Martha was so furious that her body trembled. She glared at Philip and berated him, “What did I do in my past life to deserve a son-in-law as useless as you? You’re an utter embarrassment to me!” Philip had nothing to say to that. The atmosphere was extremely awkward now. Wynn was rather unhappy now too. Her aunt had always looked down on her family, all because she thought Philip was useless, especially when compared to her rich

She hastily shoved Philip aside and even glared at him before yanking Juan by the arm and beaming. “Oh, this is Juan. His family is quite well to do, they’re in the gem business and they earn several tens of millions every year too. He’s Wynn’s good friend.” Paula’s eyes seemed to shine when she looked at Juan now. When she saw how proud Martha looked, though, her expression cooled down as well. The two old women had been squabbling like this for years. Of course they understood each other. Martha was probably hoping that Juan could become her new son-in-law. Paula immediately gave them a smile of faux politeness. “Why, what a nice young man.” Inwardly, though, she had cursed Martha to hell and back. Martha wanted a rich sonin-law now? Hmph! Her daughter Wynn was already married and even had a kid. No one would want a woman like that. Still, Paila could not say that out loud. With that thought in mind, she gave Philip a look of pure irony too. Philip Clarke was seriously such a waste of space. Even his mother-in-law wanted to get rid of him. Martha’s heart brightened once she saw that her sister looked displeased. It was rare for her to get an upper hand over Martha, so she immediately pulled Juan over and said, “Why are you just standing there? C’mon, greet your Aunt Paula.” Juan hastily said with a smile, “Hi, Aunt Paula.” Paula reacted like a cat after someone stepped on its tail. She jumped to
