Chapter 2224
The First Heir
However, Charles stood with his hands behind his back with a proud look on his face. He said coldly,
âIâll never kneel!â
After saying that, he turned to Martha and shouted in a manly manner for the first time, âMartha, get
up!â
Marthaâs legs were weak and she did not want to get up at all. She had been tortured enough.
Seeing her parents like this, Wynn felt her heart aching and she could not bear it. She put Mila down,
rushed over, and pulled Martha up while exclaiming, âMom, how did you end up like this? Quick, get
up.â
Martha looked up at Wynn miserably and wailed. âWynnie, I donâ t want to stay here anymore. I want to
go home.â
Charles stood aside, glanced at Martha, and scolded, âWeakling!â
After that, he looked at Wynn with love and affection. He said earnestly, âWynnie, we have let you
down. You should stay here and be the young madam. Even if they beat me to death today, I wonât say
anything!â
Hearing this, Wade shouted coldly, âCharles Johnston, are you senile? Arenât you a little ignorant to
take the blame for a sinner who isnât your daughter? Donât you know whatâs good for you?â
Charles said coldly, âHmph! Youâre Philipâs fifth granduncle, right? Iâm telling all of you today that Wynn
is my daughter, a member of the Johnston family! If you want to use my daughter to make a case, Iâll
tell you now that itâs impossible!â
Hearing this, Wadeâs eyes froze. He immediately took out a pistol from the guardâs waist and put it
against Charlesâ head while saying coldly, âCharles, are you playing with me? Thatâs not what you said
before! Now, I want you to tell the truth. Otherwise, Iâll kill you immediately!â
With that said, Wade pulled the safety.
This scene frightened Wynn. She quickly stepped in front of Charles and shouted at Wade, âWhat are
you doing? If you dare to do anything to my father, I wonât let you off!â
Wade stared at Wynn with a sneer and asked, âYou wonât let me off? A sinner like you who is nothing?
How dare you yell at me like this?!â
Smack!
Wade raised his hand and slapped Wynn on the face!
At that moment, Wynn closed her eyes and waited for the slap to land. However, before the slap
reached her, Wynn felt a figure standing in front of her.
She opened her eyes and saw Philipâs imposing back standing in front of her like a mountain.
With grim eyes, Philip grabbed Wadeâs hand in his steel-like grip and said coldly, âIf you dare to touch
my wife, Iâll destroy one person from your branch family!â
Domineering!
Arrogant!
At his words, all members of the branch family had frosty faces.
âPresumptuous! Heâs too arrogant to defend such a lowly woman from the outside world like this!â
âDestroy our family? How dare he say that?! I want to hear what Old Master Wade is saying about the
sinner!â
âThe more he defends her, the more I believe that the cheap woman named Wynn Johnston may not
have been born and raised by that couple. There must be something else going on here!â
Facing everyoneâs doubts and reprimands, Philip had no change of expression and looked at Wade
grimly. Wade laughed, raised his hand, and said sullenly, âPhilip, it seems that you really wonât give in
until I reveal the truth about her birthright.â
Philip raised his eyebrows and said with a sneer, âYou can say whatever you want.â
âGood!â
Wade roared angrily and turned to the members of the Clarke family. He swore, âShe, Wynn Johnston,
is the sinner of the Clarke family and the world! What flows in her body is the blood of that sinful family
from decades ago, the Lovelace family!â
