Chapter 325
The First Heir
The shopkeeper was a fat middle-aged man. He watched as the woman who was covered from head
to toe entered his shop.
Something to abort a baby?
Such a thing was illegal!
âNo. No. We donât have things like that,â the fat shopkeeper said immediately and resumed tending to
the dried herbs that were on the table.
Smack!
Martha took out ten thousand bucks in cash from her bag and slammed it on the table. She asked
coldly, âDo you have it or not?â
The fat shopkeeper glanced at the money and frowned. He looked at the woman in front of him and
insisted, âNo, we havenât had such a thing for a long time. Take back your money.â
Martha did not believe him. Thus, she took out another twenty thousand from her bag and slammed it
down on the table. She asked, âSomething to abort a baby. Do you have it or not?â
To be honest, Martha felt something poke at her heart when she took out the extra stack of cash.
Nevertheless, in order to make Wynn become Madam Harris, and in order to make sure that she had a
nice life in the future, she was prepared to go to such lengths.
If her stupid daughter refused to listen to her, she would take matters into her own hands.
Now, the shopkeeper was stunned. He looked at the bright red bills and started to have bad thoughts.
Subsequently, the shopkeeper walked away from the counter, closed the door, and drew the curtains.
Then, he took the money and smiled flatteringly as he said, âMadam, please wait for a moment.â
After saying that, the shopkeeper went to the courtyard and dilly-dallied for a while before taking out a
set of medicine and putting it on the table. He asked, âWho is it for, madam?â
Martha looked at the fat shopkeeper coldly and said, âItâs none of your business. How should one
consume this? It wonât hurt the mother, right?â
The fat shopkeeper said, âMadam, to be honest with you, abortion medicine isnât good, and itâll
definitely harm the motherâs body in a few ways. However, you can buy some medicine to nurse the
motherâs body back to health. Iâll go get them for you right now.â
Once the fat shopkeeper had finished speaking, he went to get some medicine that was used to nurse
oneâs body and soothe his or her nerves.
Martha spent about forty thousand bucks before she left the shop happily.
To someone who loved money like Martha, forty thousand bucks was the equivalent of her own flesh
and blood.
When Martha got home, she immediately started getting busy and began to brew the medicine.
Shortly after, the house and courtyard were filled with the smell of traditional Chinese medicine.
Charles returned home and asked curiously, âWhat are you doing? Whoâs sick?â
Martha felt rather guilty. After all, there was no doubt that she would go to hell for doing something like
this. Nevertheless, she said, âWynn is pregnant, right? Iâm brewing some medicine for the baby.â
Charles smiled and said, âHow wonderful. You were saying you didnât want the child this morning and
youâre doing this now? Oh, you must have a sharp tongue but mean well. I think Philip and Wynn are
great together. Stop berating our son-in-law in the future. Heâs family after all.â
At this point, Martha felt very guilty. Nonetheless, she was not bothered to say anything and merely
chuckled in reply. âYeah, yeah. Go do your own thing. Iâll send the medicine over to Wynnie once itâs
done.â
Charles did not say anything else and merely hummed a song as he went back to his room.
At the same time, in the chairmanâs office in Apex Group, Philip could be heard talking to George.
âOld Man George, great news, Wynnie is pregnant.â
Philip was extremely happy. He sat with one leg over the other as he beamed happily.
When George heard that, he became so excited that he started sobbing. He said, âYoung Master, is the
young madam really pregnant?â
Philip nodded and grunted a reply before saying, âYeah, we confirmed it this morning.â
âAlright! Thatâs wonderful. If the old master hears about it, heâll be very happy. There are now two
children.â
George wiped his teary eyes. He felt genuinely happy for his young master.
There was now another addition to the Clarkes.
His or her birth would definitely astonish the world.
âYoung master, what are you planning to do?â George asked.
Philip thought for a while before saying, âAfter Wynn gives birth to this child, Iâll take them home. Maybe
itâs time I tell them my true identity.â
Philip had pondered about it for a very long time. What happened that morning touched him greatly.
His mother-in-law had always looked down on him. Hence, he would use his identity to tell her who the
son-in-law she had been calling a piece of trash throughout the past three years really was.
âRight, howâs my father?â Philip asked.
George shook his head and sighed. âYoung master, do you really not want to come back now? The old
master misses you a lot. Plus, a lot of things have happened at home. You really need to go back and
take charge of the situation. The old master canât hold on any longer.â
George was anxious. The old master was getting weaker and weaker. Philip had to return and inherit
the familyâs estates and abundant wealth.
The Clarkes could not fall into Giadaâs hands.
Philipâs eyes darkened, and he nodded. He said, âI understand. Soon.â
Philip wanted to go back as well. However, he still had to wait because of the contract he had with
Giada.
He had to be patient for the next few days. If not, he would lose everything.
âAlright, Iâll be going if thereâs nothing else,â said Philip.
Just as Philip was about to leave, George asked anxiously, âYoung master, what are you planning to do
with Miss Sommerset? Her birthday is coming, and sheâs planning to host a party here. She has invited
a few rich and famous people. Some of them have even come all the way from Capital City.â
Philipâs face fell. Did Chloe want to make such a scene for her birthday?
What about the thing he had promised her?
What was she planning to do?
