Chapter 86
The First Heir
Philip ran straight into the hospital. His face instantly paled when he saw Wynn lying in the hospital
bed.
There were a few other people gathered in the room.
His mother and father-in-law, Martha and Charles, stared at Philip unpleasantly. They desperately
wished for this good-for-nothing to disappear from their life forever.
Lynn and her parents were present in the room as well, each of them giving Philip an odd look as if he
had committed a huge mistake while they muttered to each other under their breaths.
âHowâs Wynn?â Philip asked as he jogged toward the hospital bed.
Howeverâ¦
Slap!
A crisp smack rang through the air.
Martha had slapped Philip across the face angrily. Her face turned red with anger as she set her frosty
gaze on him. âHow dare you show your face here again? Look what you did to Wynnie! I will never
forgive you if anything happens to my daughter!â
Martha shrieked as she began throwing punches at Philip, venting all her anger and grievances on him.
Philip merely endured it. He did not fight back, nor did he move at all.
Charles cast Philip an indifferent look as he gently pulled Martha away. He turned to Philip and said in
a reprimanding tone, âPhilip, we Johnstons canât tolerate you any longer. I think you and my daughter
should get a divorce. You can go anywhere you want and do whatever you like, we wonât care
anymore. You should bring Mila with you too. The two of you father and daughter should stop holding
my daughter back. I asked you here to tell you this and nothing else. As long as you nod your head this
instant, Iâll give you 500,000 for Milaâs medical bills. After all, sheâs still partially the flesh and blood of
the Johnston family.â
The room fell silent and the tension in the air thickened right after Charles finished talking.
Everyone was waiting for Philipâs decision.
However, Philip did not say a word.
He would never divorce Wynn.
At this moment, Lynn added with a sarcastic sneer. âBrother-in-law, I think you should take the offer.
You have put my cousin through so much trouble in the past three years, I think itâs time for you to let
go. My cousin has a lot of pursuers, so if you love her, you should give her a better future. Someone
like you can never give my cousin a good life.â
âWorthless wretch!
âHow dare you still have the audacity to stand there quietly like a block of wood!
âA man like you should be embarrassed! â
She looked down on Philip even more when she remembered what had happened earlier today at the
BMW store.
Lynnâs father chimed in as well, âPhilip, I donât want to say too much but you canât go on like this. Youâll
just drag Wynn down with you. Why donât you get a divorce with Wynn and Iâll give you 100,000 bucks?
Just think of it as some money for Milaâs medical bills. What do you think?â
Lynnâs mother immediately cast her husband a stern glare when she heard his words. She tugged him
by his elbow as her expression darkened. âWhat are you talking about? How are we supposed to dig
out 100,000 bucks? Can you think of yourself before you make any silly decisions!â she muttered under
her breath.
Then, she raised her voice slightly as she continued, âPhilip, we donât have that much money, so donât
even think about it. Your uncle has had too much to drink.â
Obviously, Philip would not think too much about it.
He knew how disgusting these people could be.
He still remembered how this woman treated him when he went to her to borrow money back when
Mila had just gotten sick.
Everyone in the room took turns adding their personal input, clearly ignoring Philip.
Each of them added a word to his humiliation.
He was the most hateful person in this family and everyone thought he deserved to be punished.
Philip stood there silently as he endured the harsh words. His fists were tightly clenched while he
watched Wynn who was lying on the hospital bed.
Philip took a deep breath before finally raising his head. âFather, Mother, I wonât divorce Wynn. I wonât
agree with this and Iâm sure Wynn wonât either.â
âYou donât agree?â
Marthaâs response came out as a high-pitched screech as she pointed at Philip before cursing at him,
âWhat right do you have to say such things to my face? You and Wynn are getting divorced, and thatâs
the end of the discussion! Iâm taking her to the Civil Affairs Bureau the second she wakes up! Thereâs
no you and me here. Itâs just that simple!â
There was no hint of warmth in Marthaâs eyes, just pure rage.
She had tolerated Philip for three whole years. She had held onto hope for three long years.
Yet, he was still the good-for-nothing piece of trash that he was.
He would never be good enough.
If this went on, Wynn would go down together with this pair of father and daughter.
That would not do! For the sake of her daughterâs happiness, Martha must settle this tonight once and
for all so that she could grow old rest assured.
Martha liked Aiden very much. After all, he was a good guy. Though, Wynn did not share the same
feelings.
Even if Wynn turned Aiden down, there was still Juan. His family was in the jade business line, so not
only was he extremely wealthy, he was one of the prominent figures in Riverdale too.
Only a man as outstanding was worthy enough to be Marthaâs son-in-law, and only would a man this
excellent be capable of providing her daughter a good life.
Philip was utterly speechless. He had not expected Martha to be so unreasonable and lash out like
that.
âMother, Iâ¦â Philip stuttered.
Slap!
Martha flung her hand forward until it came in contact with his cheek and screamed loudly, âDonât you
dare call me Mother! I donât have a son-in-law like you!â
How dare he have the audacity to call her that!
Martha was so angry that her blood boiled with rage.
