Chapter 122
The First Heir
Martha was beyond furious!
âThis good-for-nothing thinks that he can afford it? Does he think that he has the money? At this point in
time, this useless piece of trash is still holding on to his ego shamelessly.â
Martha glared at Philip impatiently and said with a mocking sneer, âPhilip, what did you just say? You
donât want our familyâs 500,000 dollars and can afford it yourself? Okay, okay, so youâre a big shot
now? You think youâre too good for the Johnston family. Great, then you can divorce Wynn as soon as
possible. My daughter is so beautiful, so she can easily marry into a wealthy family in the future!â
Philip had a sullen expression. He said helplessly, âMom, I actually haveâ¦â
âWhat do you have? You want to say that you are loaded?â Martha sneered disdainfully, then pointed at
him before saying to Mila arrogantly, âIf it werenât for you two, Wynn wouldnât have to suffer so much. I
wouldnât be in a situation where I canât hold my head up high in front of my side of the family. Stop
bullshitting. The Johnston family no longer welcomes you. Leave now and bring this b*stard child with
you.â
Since Wynn married Philip, Martha had never been the least bit kind to Philip.
It became worse when Philip failed to start his own business and accumulated debt. Philip was at her
beck and call, but she always gave him an attitude.
Moreover, because Philip and Wynn had a shotgun marriage, Martha was bitterly humiliated by her
family.
Her fatherâs attitude toward her plummeted as well.
For that reason, Martha began to hold a grudge against Philip since then.
Philip kept silent. He knew that his mother-in-lawâs bias against him was not a matter of a few days.
Even if he told her now that he was rich and powerful, Martha would not believe him but would make
fun of him instead.
Wynn could not take it anymore and said coldly: âMom, can you stop making a fuss? We are all aware
of your attitude toward Philip over the years. Has he ever complained about it? Why must you make me
divorce him?â
Wynn was not someone who had no temper. She had to keep her mouth shut considering that Martha
was her mom.
However, this was the last straw.
âYes! You two must sign the divorce papers today. I have already arranged for you to go on blind dates
in the next few days. I think that Juan Parker and Aiden Grant are worth considering,â Martha said
angrily.
It was even on the news.
Wynn could not be bothered to quarrel with her mother anymore. She turned to Philip and said, âPhilip,
do you really have a way to treat Milaâs illness?â
Philip turned his head and said with a smile on his face, âDonât worry, I have already got in touch with
the hospital. Mila will be admitted this afternoon.â
Wynn nodded and felt really relieved.
âHospital?â Martha saw that things were not going her way, so she quickly said to Wynn, âWynn, donât
believe this useless bum! Between the two of you, how much money do you have to treat Milaâs
illness?
âWynn, I am not forcing you, itâs all for your own good. What future is there for you if you stay with
him?â Martha changed her strategy and said earnestly.
However, Wynn saw through her and said, âAre you doing it for me or yourself?â
Wynn was very clear about her motherâs character and temperament.
Martha did it just because she wanted Wynn to marry someone rich so that she could hold her head
high in front of her family.
She did not care about her daughterâs happiness.
As soon as Martha heard that, she immediately acted like a cat whose tail was stepped on. She was
furious and scolded, âWynn, what do you mean by that? Do you think that I would put you in harmâs
way?â
Martha was mad. âHow is my daughter so stupid? She is favoring an outsider over me.â
Wynn could not be bothered with her anymore. She turned around and intended to walk away with
Philip.
Martha did not want to let them leave. She immediately sat on the ground and slapped her thighs. She
cryingly said, âGod, you donât want me to live. My son-in-law is a piece of trash, and my daughter is
favoring an outsider over me. What do you want me to do? I should just be dead.â
Wynn felt a headache coming when Martha started throwing a tantrum, so she hurriedly ran to hold her
mother.
Martha refused to get up. She pushed away Wynnâs hand and continued to hit her chest and legs. âIf
you donât get divorced today, I will eat rat poison and drink herbicide.â
Wynn had a terrible headache now. She said, âMom, please stop messing around.â
âMessing around?â Martha immediately got up and said in an agitated tone, âCan you really trust this
useless bum? He has been with us for three years and how has he contributed to our family? What has
he given you? When both of you got married, his parents didnât even show up. Are they dead or do
they despise us?â
Martha crossed a line with what she said. She said that her in-laws were dead.
How would Martha react if she knew that her in-laws were the richest family in the world?
Philipâs expression turned gloomy in an instant.
Wynn was also very angry and said, âMom, how can you say such horrible things? For once, can you
take other peopleâs feelings into account?! Regardless, Philip is your son-in-law. Arenât you ashamed of
yourself?
âIâm telling you today in your face that I will not divorce Philip. If you want to sever our relationship,
please feel free to do so!â
Whenever Wynn got pissed, she could be quite relentless.
Right now, Martha was exasperated. She raised her hand angrily and slapped Wynn!
