The First Heir

Chapter 229

Slap!

The slap stunned Martha who was arrogant and unreasonable.

Martha became as terrified as a dog. She hid behind Philip and held her face with her hand. She said through gritted teeth, “Who… Who are you? Why did you slap me? My son-in-law is here!”

What could she do? She could only rely on Philip at such a time.

“I heard that Philip’s mother-in-law is famous for being unreasonable and bossy. Now that I’ve met you, I can confirm that your reputation is fully justified.” Chloe snorted.

In Martha’s eyes, Chloe was just an ordinary old woman. Thus, she did not need to take any action herself and someone else would handle her.

However, when Martha heard Chloe’s words, she became furious. She was indeed unreasonable, but she was proud of that. She was able to enjoy quite a number of benefits because of her attitude.

Nonetheless, she did not feel as proud with Chloe saying it straight to her face.

“Even if that were the case, you can’t slap someone willy-nilly.”

Martha had lost her overbearing manner. She looked terrified.

Martha no longer looked like the person who had been targeting Philip maliciously.

Hence, it could be said that she was the type of person who would manipulate the weak and cower at the presence of the strong.

Chloe peered at Martha coldly but ignored her. She looked at Philip and said, “Philip, that slap was for you. You’ll never be able to pay for what you did to me in this lifetime!”

Philip felt helpless. At the same time, he felt remorseful for what he had done to Chloe.

Nonetheless, he would not let Chloe do anything that would hurt Wynn or Mila. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

“I’m warning you, Chloe. Don’t try to challenge me. You should know how I am.” Philip’s face was dark, and his eyes looked solemn.

Chloe snorted and looked at Martha. She said, “Remember, my name is Chloe Sommerset. I’m warning you, behave yourself. Don’t cause Philip any trouble, if not, I’ll never forgive you.”

After saying that, Chloe turned around and walked away. Then, she got into a black Benz and left.

Once Chloe left, Martha felt as if a huge weight had been lifted from her shoulders. Consequently, she let out a huge sigh of relief.

Slap!

Before Philip could comprehend what had happened, Martha slapped him across the face. Additionally, she pointed at Philip’s nose and yelled, “What are you staring at? What were you doing just now? She was bullying me! Were you dead? Were you so afraid that you couldn’t speak? How did I get such a useless son-in-law like you? I’m so mad!”

Martha was seething. Her attitude was horrible.

She had lived for so long, and no one had dared lecture her like that before.

How shameful!

She was fuming!

Having yelled angrily at Philip, she turned around to look in the direction where Chloe had left and shouted arrogantly, “Do you think you’re so high up there just because you’re rich? What kind of stupid

car are you driving? You little vixen, I’ll kill you when I also have a car like that!”

That was how Martha was as a person. She dared not say anything in front of Chloe, and she only dared to talk after the latter had left.

Philip’s face was dark. He had been slapped by Martha for no reason. However, he could not do anything to her.

“Mom, do you know who she was?” Philip asked coldly.

“Why? Who else could she be? Pah, she’s just a homewrecker! Let me tell you, this is not over yet. You have to explain everything to me. What’s your relationship with that homewrecker? Come back home with Wynn tonight and explain everything to me and your dad!”

Martha was fuming as she rubbed her swollen face. Her expression was rather shrewd.

Philip was getting out of hand. How dare he get himself a mistress behind Wynn’s back.

Now, there was a homewrecker in the picture!

Philip shook his head helplessly as he smiled bitterly. Martha had such a wild imagination.

If he told Martha that Chloe was Miss Sommerset who had given her all the presents, what would her reaction be?

Would she still run her mouth and continue to hurl insults at Chloe?

Perhaps not.

Thus, Philip did not say anything. He would just let some things remain the way they were.

Someone like Martha would never learn unless she suffered some sort of punishment.

After he parted ways with Martha, Philip went to his office to supervise his employees. He would not be a competent boss if he was always absent from work.

That day, he stayed in the office until late hours. Subsequently, he received a call from Wynn who then told him that his in-laws were asking for them to go home.

Philip knew immediately that it was about what had happened that evening. Martha was going to criticize him violently.

He did not have a choice.

Hence, Philip sat in Agnes’ car and returned to the old manor. Coincidentally, he ran into Wynn at the entrance, and the three of them greeted each other.

“Agnes, swing by our place whenever you’re free.” Wynn smiled and waved her hand.

Agnes replied politely and left.

After Agnes left, Wynn folded her arms in front of her chest and wore a jealous expression on her face. She looked at Philip coldly and asked, “Is it nice being in the same car as Agnes?”

“Not bad,” Philip blurted out. He had not noticed the expression on Wynn’s face.

Smack!

Wynn kicked Philip in the shin and pinched his ear. She said sternly, “Well, well, Philip. You’re frolicking all over the place after only a few days of me not paying attention to you, huh? Does it feel good?”

Philip was dumbstruck and finally figured out that Wynn was jealous.

He grinned and laughed like an idiot. He said, “No, it doesn’t.”

Wynn rolled her eyes at him before finally stopping.
