Chapter 169
The First Heir
Philip Clarke?
Martha frowned. She looked annoyed. Whenever she heard Philipâs name, she would feel as if her
entire body was covered in thorns. However, she hid that feeling in a blink of an eye.
Miss Sommerset was the one who sent over all these gifts.
There was precious jewelry, a car, and also cash.
It was obvious that Miss Sommerset was from an affluent family.
âUm, our Philip is friends with Miss Sommerset?â Martha smiled.
That man replied politely, âI donât know the details. Iâm just here to deliver the gifts.â
After he said that, the man left with his men. He came just as quickly as he left.
Martha finally came back to her senses.
She was rich!
âCharlie, Wynn, weâre going to be rich! These⦠These things are worth so much money! We also have
two million bucks!â
Martha was so excited that her bottom did not hurt anymore. She stared at those gifts and the two
boxes of cash. She wanted so badly to fall asleep while holding them.
Charles was excited, of course. Especially when he saw those calligraphies. He could tell that they
were extremely valuable.
They were of good quality. They were amazing things!
The two of them had fallen into the enemyâs hands.
âWynn, who is Miss Sommerset? Does she know Philip?â
Martha was not an idiot. Miss Sommerset only gave them these things because of Philip.
Philip was a worthless scum, so how did he get so many wealthy friends?
That kid was hiding a lot of things from them!
Wynnâs face fell. She said angrily with a cold expression on her face, âMom, Dad, return these things
immediately. We canât accept them.â
Wynn did not understand what Chloe was trying to say by doing this, but she could tell that she was
displaying her power with money.
Chloe Sommerset wanted to steal Philip away from her!
No way in hell!
Philip was her husband and he was Milaâs father. Wynn would not admit defeat!
When Martha heard that Wynn wanted to return all of these gifts, she started to make a fuss. She
shrieked, âNo! No! You canât! Miss Sommerset gave me these. These are mine! They belong to me,
Martha Yates! Who are you to send these back?â
Marthaâs eyes would only open for money. This was the snobbish Martha Yates.
So what if Wynn was her daughter? Was she better than money?
Martha would not return these gifts even if she had to cut off ties with her daughter.
There were so many gold necklaces. Also, she had two million bucks and a Maserati.
Martha never had these things before. How could she just give them back?
âMom, do you know why she gave you these?â Wynn was stomping her feet in anger. Tears were
forming in her eyes. She was so unfortunate to have such a money-minded mother.
âI donât care. Wynn Johnston, Iâm warning you. Miss Sommerset gave me these things, so theyâre mine
now. You donât have the right to make me return them!â
Martha was guarding those gifts while glaring at Wynn.
âCharlie, say something. Tell me, should I return these things or not?â
Martha was trying to gain more momentum with Charles.
Charles was conflicted. To be honest, he liked the two calligraphies. One of them was from Wang Xizhi!
Gosh!
If word got out, his ranking in the collectorâs circle would go up!
However, he could tell that his daughter was mad.
âMartha, why donât we return these? As the saying goes, âdonât get a reward if itâs not deservedâ. Even if
they are for us, we canât take them!â Charles still cared about his daughter.
Martha exploded. She sat on the ground and wailed while slapping her thighs, âCharles Johnston, oh
Charles Johnston! Youâre bullying me because I donât have the same last name as you two, right? You
Johnstons are the worst! What have I gotten after getting married to you for so many years? I was blind
when I got married to you, and I even gave birth to a heartless child! Iâm so mad! I canât live like this
anymore! I donât want to live anymore!
âIâll tell you guys now, I wonât return any of these things! If you dare to return these, Iâll drink insecticide
and die!â
When Martha started making a fuss, no one could handle her.
