Chapter 139
The First Heir
Wynn turned around, looked at Philip, and asked, âDid you do it?â
Philip shook his head immediately and replied calmly, âHow could it have been me? How am I capable
of doing such a thing? Youâre thinking too much.â
He had almost let the cat out of the bag!
Fortunately, Aiden had taken it from the back door the other day.
Wynn frowned. She did not think Philip was capable of doing such a thing as well.
However, at this time, Martha overheard the absurd conversation that was going on between them. She
raised her eyebrows, stared at Philip, and asked, âWhat? This matter has something to do with you?â
Wynn knew if Martha found out about what happened at the hotel the other day, she would most
definitely find fault with Philip. Perhaps she might even get them to go through a divorce once again.
âMom, donât be angry at Philip. This matter has nothing to do with him, âWynn said.
âItâs best if he has nothing to do with it. Otherwise, Iâll be the first to chase him out of the house!â
Martha glared at Philip vehemently before turning to Charles with a forlorn look. She said, âCharlie,
help and see if you can ask around. What did Aiden do wrong? Is it serious?â
Charles sighed helplessly and replied, âOkay, fine, Iâll ask around tomorrow.â
âWhy tomorrow? Do it now,â Martha ordered.
Both Philip and Wynn felt uneasy at this.
Martha had never been as concerned about Philip compared to Aiden before.
After being seated for a while, Philip and Wynn left.
They simply could not stay any longer. Martha ignored Philip completely throughout the time they were
there.
Once they left, Martha continued to pester Charles to inquire about Aidenâs situation.
Then, after getting a reply, Martha quickly grabbed her bag and left the house.
She was going to visit Aiden. Additionally, with her passbook on her, she was prepared to withdraw
some money and bail him out.
If Philip found out about it, he would most probably laugh in amusement.
He was truly unfortunate to have a mother-in-law who was so protective of an outsider.
At the bank.
Martha had just taken out her passbook to withdraw some money when she suddenly remembered that
Philip had given her a card.
After brief consideration, Martha searched through her bag and took out the bank card.
She inserted the card into the ATM but did not know its password.
Hence, she called Wynn, âWynnie, whatâs the password for Philipâs card?â
Martha was not ashamed at all. Instead, she felt that it was justified.
At that time, Wynn and Philip were shopping for groceries at the supermarket. Thus, Wynn asked Philip
who was beside her before saying to Martha, âYour birthday.â
Slam!
The call disconnected.
Wynn, with a puzzled look on her face, shrugged helplessly. She said to Philip, âI think my mother has
gone to the bank to see how much is in that card.â
âDonât worry, thereâs a hundred thousand in there.â Philip smiled.
Wynn tilted her head, crossed her arms, looked at Philip curiously, and asked, âPhilip, tell me, how
much money do you have? Last time, you told me that thereâs more than a million in your card.â
Philip scratched his head, took out another card from the pocket of his trousers, and said, âThe rest of
the money is here. I snuck it out when I ran away from home. Do you want to go to the bank and check
its balance?â
Wynn grabbed the card, held it in her hand, and smiled slyly. âI do want to look at it.â
Philip smiled in response. However, when his gaze fell on the card in Wynnâs hand, his eyes
constricted. He exclaimed in shock, âF*ck! Itâs the wrong card!â
Itâs over!
He was in big trouble now!
Philip had mixed up the two cards!
The card in Wynnâs hand was the one with a balance of one hundred thousand. On the other hand, the
one he had given to Martha was the one that had one hundred billion in it!
The card had been given to him by George last time!
âIâm finished. Itâs over!â
Philip did not bother with the checkout as he pulled Wynn along and dashed outside. âItâs bad. We have
to find your Mom quickly!â
At the same time, Martha happily inserted the card she had into the ATM, entered her birthday, and
checked its balance.
âOh, there really is some money in this card. Letâs see how much there is.â
Martha could not help but let a smile break out on her face.
âOne, ten, one hundred, one thousand, ten thousandâ¦â
The more she counted, the more ecstatic she became!
âA hundred thousand, thereâs really a hundred thousand!â
âEh, why are there still so many zeroes?â
Martha frowned and her heart started pounding.
âThis⦠this isâ¦â
She started counting again!
âOne, ten, one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand, one million!â
âTen million!â
âOne hundred million!â
âOne billion!â
âTen billion!â
âOne hundred⦠one hundred billion!â
