Chapter 794
The First Heir
Philip was silent for a moment before he replied, âSure. Pick me up when the time comes.â
With Philipâs affirmation, Theo beamed with joy and sent Philip away respectfully.
Others might not know Philipâs identity and status, but Theo was aware.
He had money and connections!
This time, Theo planned to take down the entire South River District in one fell swoop!
Very soon, Theo left to make preparations.
Philip returned to the villa. Wynn had already returned and was playing with Mila.
Seeing Philip, Wynn got up, motioned to Anne to bring Mila upstairs, and asked, âMy mom told me that
you beat her up?â
Philip already expected that Martha would complain to Wynn, so he did not hide it and nodded,
admitting it. âI did.â
Wynn frowned. As soon as she returned, Martha had pulled her aside while crying and sobbing. She
denounced Philip for torturing her.
âWhat did she do this time?â
Wynn knew Philipâs temper. If it was not the last straw, Philip would not do something like this.
However, when she asked Martha, the latter refused to tell her anything.
âShe stole something and framed Anne for it,â Philip said.
Wynn frowned when she heard this. Her own mother could really do anything.
Right at this moment, Martha came out of the room. When she saw Philip, she averted her eyes, trotted
over, and pulled Wynn aside to say, âWynnie, you must stand up for me.â
Wynn turned around, glared at Martha, and said unhappily, âMom, Philip told me everything. This is all
your fault. Why wonât you admit it?â
Martha was angry when she heard this.
Her daughter was still siding with Philip.
âWhatâs there to admit? I didnât do it. Anyway, itâs wrong for him to hit me. Iâm his mother-in-law, after
all.â
Martha started to kick up a big fuss again.
She had stayed at home the entire day. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She
could hardly wait to drive Philip out.
However, she dared not do it.
Philip was different now. He was the big boss of Milanelson Angel Investment Group.
Martha was afraid.
For a useless person who she had always oppressed to lord over her one day, Martha felt
uncomfortable all over.
âMartha Yates, have you forgotten what I told you during the day?â Philip said grimly at this moment,
glaring at her with cold eyes.
Martha got a fright from that glare and immediately hid behind Wynn.
Wynn also knew that her mother was afraid of Philip, so she said to him, âPhilip, Iâm sorry. Iâll apologize
to you and Anne on my motherâs behalf.â
She had no other choice. She was her mother, after all.
She would apologize herself.
However, Martha did not stop complaining.
In the end, Wynn could not take it anymore and shouted, âMom, thatâs enough! Stop talking and go
back to your room!â
Martha was stunned. She did not expect Wynn to get angry.
She knew that she would not be able to take care of Philip today, so she went back to her room in
anger.
Bam!
The door slammed shut behind her!
Martha sat on the bed with Charles next to her.
She could not get over her anger and kicked Charles several times. The latter immediately got up
impatiently and said, âWhat are you doing? Are you taking out your anger on me? Canât you stop for a
few days? Will you only be satisfied when youâve offended everyone?â
Martha was very angry at Charlesâ words. She pointed at the door and cursed, âCharles Johnston,
youâre a man after all. How can you allow your son-in-law to bully me? So what if heâs rich? So what if
heâs the big boss of Milanelson Angel Investment Group? Whatâs he so conceited about?â
Charles could not take it anymore. He got up, packed his things, and said, âIâll sleep outside. If you
continue making such a fuss, youâll regret it sooner or later.â
Martha sat on the bed angrily and muttered incessantly.
Looking back at Philipâs side, Wynn returned to the bedroom. While Philip took a shower, Wynn pulled
out the USB flash drive from her bag.
This was the item the woman had given her in the café.
She said that all the answers she wanted were in there.
Wynn held it in her hand and pondered for a long time. After some hesitation, she put the drive on the
bedside table.
Perhaps this was her last hope on Philip.
She was willing to trust that Philip would tell her the truth.
When Philip came out, he saw Wynn sitting on the bed reading a book. He smiled and said, âWhy are
you not sleeping yet? Are you troubled by something?â
Wynn smiled faintly and said, âCompany matters.â
Philip did not take it to heart. He picked up the phone and glanced at the notification, then frowned
before hurrying out of the bedroom.
There was news from Fennel Leigh!
