The First Heir by Master Yu Who Smokes

Chapter 229

Slap! The slap stunned Martha who was arrogant and unreasonable. Martha became as terrified as a dog. She hid behind Philip and held her face with her hand. She said through gritted teeth, “Who… Who are you? Why did you slap me? My son-in-law is here!” What could she do? She could only rely on Philip at such a time. “I heard that Philip’s mother-in-law is famous for being unreasonable and bossy. Now that I’ve met you, I can confirm that your reputation is fully justified.” Chloe snorted. In Martha’s eyes, Chloe was just an ordinary old woman. Thus, she did not need to take any action herself and someone else would handle her. However, when Martha heard Chloe’s words, she became furious. She was indeed unreasonable, but she was proud of that. She was able to enjoy quite a number of benefits because of her attitude. Nonetheless, she did not feel as proud with Chloe saying it straight to her face. “Even if that were the case, you can’t slap someone willy-nilly.” Martha had lost her overbearing manner. She looked terrified.

Martha no longer looked like the person who had been targeting Philip maliciously. Hence, it could be said that she was the type of person who would manipulate the weak and cower at the presence of the strong. Chloe peered at Martha coldly but ignored her. She looked at Philip and said,

“Philip, that slap was for you. You’ll never be able to pay for what you did to me in this lifetime!” Philip felt helpless. At the same time, he felt remorseful for what he had done to Chloe. Nonetheless, he would not let Chloe do anything that would hurt Wynn or Mila. “I’m warning you, Chloe.

snorted and looked at Martha. She said, “Remember, my name is Chloe Sommerset. I’m warning you, behave yourself. Don’t cause Philip any trouble, if not, I’ll never forgive you.” After saying that, Chloe turned around and walked away. Then, she got into a black Benz and left. Once Chloe left, Martha felt as if a huge weight had been lifted from her shoulders. Consequently, she let out

a person. She dared not say anything in front of Chloe, and she only dared to talk after the latter had left. Philip’s face was dark. He had been slapped by Martha for no reason. However, he could not do anything to her. “Mom, do you know who she was?” Philip asked coldly. “Why? Who else could she be? Pah, she’s just a homewrecker! Let me tell you, this is not over yet. You have to explain everything to me. What’s your relationship with that homewrecker? Come back home with Wynn tonight and explain everything to me and your dad!” Martha was fuming as she rubbed her swollen face. Her expression was rather shrewd. Philip was getting out of hand. How dare he get himself a mistress behind Wynn’s back. Now, there was a homewrecker in the picture! Philip shook his head helplessly as he smiled bitterly. Martha had such a wild imagination. If he told Martha that Chloe was Miss Sommerset who had given her all the presents, what would her reaction be? Would she still run her mouth and continue to hurl insults at Chloe? Perhaps not. Thus, Philip did not say anything. He would just let some things remain the way they were. Someone like Martha would never learn unless she suffered some sort of punishment. After he parted ways with Martha, Philip went to his office to supervise his employees. He would not be a competent boss if he was always absent from work. That day, he stayed in the office until late hours. Subsequently, he received a call from Wynn who then told him that his in-laws were asking for them to go
