Chapter 1607
The First Heir
Suddenly!
Charles shouted coldly, âEnough! What are you saying in front of our daughter? What are you trying to
do?â
Charles was furious. Martha almost had a slip of her tongue and let the cat out of the bag.
She was taken aback as well. Realizing that she had almost said something she should not have, she
quickly said in a huff, âI donât care. When I recover from my injury, Iâll make you divorce Philip!â
Wynn was also powerless and just said, âOkay, please leave now. I want to rest.â
Only then did Charles glare at Martha and push her wheelchair out.
In the other suite, Charles was furious and cursed, âJust look at you! Werenât you the one who told me
not to say anything earlier? Look at what you just did? You almost let it out!â Charles was so angry that
he slapped the back of his hands.
Martha sat in the wheelchair in annoyance and grumbled, âI didnât mean to. If you hadnât mentioned it to
me in the first place, I wouldnât have almost said it.â
Charles was helpless. He shook his head and asked, âLet me ask you, are you really unable to get
along with Philip?â
Martha froze. What she said to Wynn just now was done in a spur of the moment. Her relationship with
Philip was not really that bad.
âDo you really think Iâm a shrew? If Philip wants to stay in our Johnston family, he has to be different
from ordinary people. He must at least be a rich man and he mustnât lie to us all the time. Just look at
the mess he made in the past. Take the Milanelson Angel Investment Group as an example. I wanted
to be good to him when I first heard about it. But after looking into it, found out that itâs just a shell
company!â
Martha said angrily, âTell me, is this piece of trash worthy of being our son-in-law?â
Charles scoffed. âWhat makes you think your investigation results are accurate? What if Philip is really
rich? What will you do then? How will you regret it then? I told you long ago not to take things to the
extreme, but you refuse to listen to me and insist on treating Philip so harshly. If there really comes
such a day, Iâll see what youâll do then!â
Martha was stunned. She felt a little scared and muttered, âIs Philip really that capable? Iâm telling you,
Charles, donât forget that he has a wicked stepmother. Do you really believe Philip Clarke is that
amazing? What bullsh*t Clarke Group is that? Even if he used to be a young master, as far as I can
see, heâs now a down-and-out young master who has been driven out! With that stepmother of his,
Philip will never make a comeback in this lifetime.â
Martha knew clearly that Giada was not an ordinary person. She was exceptionally ruthless!
When she first came into contact with Giada, Martha had understood that with such a woman around, it
would be useless even if Philip had any great abilities!
Charles thought about it but did not intend to dwell on this topic. He glumly read the newspaper
instead.
At the same time, a black Cadillac was parked downstairs at the hotel.
The door opened and a handsome young man got down from the car, Shane Lovelace.
He glanced at the hotel at this moment and a faint smile appeared on his mouth. He raised his hand
and shook it a little. The subordinate behind him hurried over, asking respectfully, âThird Young Master,
what are your orders?â
Shane looked around and whispered, âArrange some people to get rid of those standing on guard
nearby.â
âYes, Third Young Master,â the man said respectfully. Shane raised his eyebrow as a proud look
appeared on his face.
Too incompetent!
He could see at a glance that there were at least a dozen people secretly on guard around this hotel.
Following that, he walked into the hotel and went straight to the front desk He took out a photo from his
pocket and said, âExcuse me, which room is this woman in?â
The female attendant at the front desk looked at the photo in Shaneâs hand, raised her eyebrows, and
sized him up carefully. She then said with a smile, âIâm sorry, sir, but the information of hotel guests is
confidential.â
Shane nodded without a word and put the photo away. Then, under the gaze of the crowd, he walked
to the side, took a golf club from the display set, and walked back to the front desk.
