Chapter 242
The First Heir
Next to Eric stood a distinguished, middle-aged man in his mid-forties. His appearance was quite
similar to Ericâs.
He was the chairman of Seafare Trading and was Ericâs father, Samson Yates.
Additionally, on the top of Ericâs hospital bed, there was a middle-aged woman dressed in luxurious
clothes. The womanâs eyes had turned red from crying. âWho is so cruel to have beaten my son up like
this?â
She was Ericâs mother, Cecelia Drew.
Her heart was in pain. Evidently, a motherâs children were her most beloved. At that moment, seeing
that her child had been hurt by someone else, Ceceliaâs heart was bleeding!
âEric, tell me, who hurt you? Iâll ask your father to capture that person!â
Cecelia wanted to hold Ericâs hand but was afraid of hurting him, so she could only watch anxiously.
A stream of tears fell from the corners of Ericâs eyes. His chapped lips trembled as he said, âDad, you
must avenge me! Itâs Philip Clarke, that spineless piece of trash! Kill him for me! Iâm a cripple now!â
Samson had not said a single word ever since he appeared in the ward. Nevertheless, his face was
extremely dark.
Philip Clarke?
Was he not a useless piece of trash?
Why did he do such a thing?
Was he tired of living?
âSamson, say something! Donât you feel bad that our son was beaten up by that worthless piece of
trash? We must avenge our son! I want that b*stard to pay with his life!â
Cecelia was crying, but her eyes were filled with malice!
âEnough!â
Samson became annoyed with Cecelia and glared at her. âYouâre the woman of the house, but you
donât even take care of your son properly. He causes trouble all the time. If he really didnât do anything
in the first place, why did Philip do this to him?â
âWhat did you say? Isnât he your son too? Fine, Samson Yates, I must be blind to have followed you!
My son is sufferingâ¦â
Cecelia stood up abruptly, pushed Samson aside, and started to make a scene.
Seeing his heartbroken wife and at son lying on the hospital bed, Samson felt rather distressed in his
heart. Hence, he hugged Cecelia and said, âOkay, fine, stop crying already. Iâll deal with this matter. Iâll
be sure to make Philip suffer ten times more pain than Eric.â
Samson truly did not take that useless Philip seriously.
However, why did Philip dare take things so far?
Samson knew his son very well. He must have kept something from them.
Nevertheless, it did not matter.
Philip had to pay for it!
With that said, Samson turned around and left the ward.
On the other side, Bob arrived at the hospital right after Samson left.
When he saw Eric wrapped up in bandages, lying on the hospital bed, he flew into a rage. He hit his
cane against the floor and bellowed, âWho did this to my grandson! I want him to pay tenfold!â
When Eric saw Bob, he immediately burst into tears and started crying. âGrandpa, Iâm a cripple now.
Itâs Philip, he did this to me. Avenge me!â
When Bob heard that Philip was the culprit, he became flushed with anger. The hand holding his cane
trembled as he said, âOkay, Eric, Iâll capture Philip right now and break his bones. Iâll avenge you!â
Having said that, Bob brought a few men with him and sped aggressively through the night to Marthaâs
home.
More than half an hour later, Philip received a call from Martha.
âMom, itâs so late, whatâs the matter?
Philip was in his small seventy to eighty square meters house, busy preparing the things to be used
after Milaâs surgery the day after. He had also just distributed tens of thousands worth of bonuses to his
employees in group chats 940, 901, and 551 as a special reward to them.
âPhilip Clarke, youâve got some guts! Come back here right now!â
A loud shout was then heard. It was not Marthaâs voice on the other end of the line, but Bob Yates.
Philip frowned as he immediately realized something. He calmly said, âBob Yates, are you here for
Eric?â
âVery well, Philip Clarke, you dare call me by my full name? Youâre really insolent. Get the hell back
here at once!â
Bob was absolutely livid. After saying that, he slammed the phone.
At the Old Johnston Manor, Martha and Charles stood in one corner as they trembled together.
They had no idea why the old man had turned up at their house in the middle of the night with so many
men in tow.
He looked exceptionally furious.
Martha exchanged a glance with Charles as she cursed internally, âD*mn Philip, he must have caused
trouble again! This time, he even provoked the old man! Even if he doesnât die this time, he wonât leave
unscathed.â
Bob merely held the tiger head on his cane and sat stoically on the sofa with a grim expression on his
face.
The entire room was permeated with a murderous aura.
Shortly after, Wynn returned home.
She had also received a call from her mother. As soon as she walked in, she saw her grandfather
sitting on the sofa somberly
âGrandpa, why are you here?â Wynn asked politely.
But!
Smack!
Bob raised his cane and struck Wynnâs leg!
Wynn knelt on the ground in pain. Her face turned pale and big drops of sweat began to pour from her
forehead.
âGrandpa?â
She did not understand why her grandfather was in such a mood. It was his first time beating her like
that.
âKneel! Kneel until Philip comes back!â
Bob shouted angrily, âUseless piece of trash! You took a wolf into the house! Youâre a disgrace!â
