Chapter 329
The First Heir
Anne was nervous. Hence, she said while she was being dragged by Philip, âMr. Philip, itâs okay. Iâm
fine. Sheâs your mother-in-law after all. If you guys fight because of me, Iâll feel bad.â
Despite feeling aggrieved, Anne knew her place.
Martha was Mr. Philipâs mother-in-law after all. If they fought because of her, she would feel bad.
She was just a child from a poor family. Her parents had told her that she had to endure every hardship
thrown to her, and she could not fight with other people.
Not to mention, Mr. Philip had always been good to her. She could not bear cause him any trouble.
âItâs fine. Just listen to me. Even though sheâs my mother-in-law, she canât be allowed to be so
unreasonable.â
Philip comforted Anne. Even though he had managed to endure Martha for the past three years
because of Wynn, he could not let the current matter go just like that.
Martha had involved other people in her unreasonableness. How could Philip just let her be like that,
showing her temper and cruelness?
Not long after, Philip ran into Martha who was about to exit the hospital.
Astonishingly, she had a huge smile plastered on her face as she held her bag and yelled at the people
around her.
It was as if she owned this hospital.
âWhat are you penniless bums looking at? Why? My daughter is the chairwoman of Beacon
Pharmaceutical. You canât touch me!â
Martha pointed at the family members of the patients and yelled rudely. It was as if her actions were
justified because she was the one yelling the loudest.
After Martha finished shouting, she turned around to leave. However, she then saw Philip and Anne
walking toward her.
In the blink of an eye, Martha became even more enraged. She ran over, pointed at Anne who was
behind Philip, and yelled, âYou little b*tch! How dare you have the cheek to come back? Iâm going to kill
you!â
Having said that, Martha lifted her hand in an attempt to slap Annie.
Nevertheless, Anne hid behind Philip out of fear. Her eyes were teary as she lowered her head and
yelled, âWho are you to slap me?â
âOh? You have a temper now, huh? Do you think I wonât hit you because you have this useless bum
with you? Heâs just good-for-nothing in my household. He has to listen to me as well!â
Martha pointed at Philipâs nose and yelled bossily. She did not respect her son-in-law at all.
Philip, who was standing in front of Anne, caught Marthaâs slap and said with a solemn face, âMartha
Yates, shut the f*ck up!â
âPhilip, are you insane? Is that how you talk to me? Get lost!â
Martha screeched.
How dare Philip call her by her name? He was being truant!
Who did he think he was?
He was merely the useless son-in-law of the Johnston family!
âApologize to Anne. Sheâs a nurse I hired.â
Philip said coldly.
âPhilip, are you confused about your status? What do you mean the nurse you hired? I am the
matriarch of the house. Youâre just a son-in-law. Are you even qualified to speak to me? Are you
looking for a beating?â
Martha said rudely as she lifted her hand to slap him.
It was too sudden!
Her useless, good-for-nothing son-in-law was rebelling against her! She would slap him in front of
everyone to let him know who was the boss!
Slap!
When Philip saw that Martha was about to slap him, he did not dodge. On the other hand, Anne ran out
from behind Philip and took the slap for him.
Consequently, a loud thud was heard as it reverberated throughout the corridor of the hospital.
Anne clutched her face and cheeks that were red. Her eyes were filled with tears as she said
aggrievedly, âMr. Philip, letâs go.â
Philipâs face fell as anger welled up in his heart. Martha was so unreasonable!
He was very unfortunate to have a mother-in-law like her. It was as if he had accumulated eight
generations of misfortune and was suffering the consequences.
Philip had to make Martha apologize to Anne about what had happened that day.
Internally, Martha was laughing. She furrowed her brows and started to mutter.
Did Philip and Anne have an illicit relationship?
No, she had to tell Wynn about it.
The two had to be cahooting behind their backs.
At this moment, the crowd started to berate Martha loudly.
âThat woman is so overbearing! If I were him, I would kill her!â
âF*ck! Iâm so mad watching this!â
âKid, donât be scared. You have our full support. Your mother-in-law is so evil!â
When Martha heard everyone talking about her, her expression changed, and she had the urge to
leave.
âGet lost! Do you not understand human language?â Martha lifted her hand once again.
However, just as her hand was about to make contact with Philipâs face, the latter caught hold of her
wrist.
âPhilip, what are you doing?â
Martha said in an icy tone.
Philipâs face was as cold as ice water, yet flames could be seen burning in his eyes. He said, âMartha
Yates, Iâm warning you. Donât you dare think that you can do whatever you want just because youâre
Wynnâs mother! Apologize to Anne now!â
âApologize to a stupid b*tch like her? Are you insane? Not to mention, youâre only a piece of trash in my
eye, Philip. Who are you to talk to me in that tone? Let go!â
Martha was gritting her teeth in anger. The useless bum was being disrespectful to her!
She had to tell Wynn about it when she got home. She had to ask Wynn to divorce him!
âIf he continues to stay in the family, Iâll leave!â
