The First Heir

Chapter 260

With that, he took a card out of his pocket and gave it to Theo, saying, “Withdraw three million for me.”

“Yes, sir.” Theo respectfully took the card and then personally walked out of the door. He went to a nearby bank and withdrew three million bucks, filling a whole seven or eight bags with the cash.

Smack!

The seven or eight bags landed in front of Manson loudly, spilling their contents everywhere. They were filled with bright red hundred-yuan notes!

All tied and bundled together!

That image threatened to overwhelm everyone’s senses!

That was three million bucks?

Martha was the first to grow so excited she nearly fainted. Three million!

Philip actually really withdrew three million!

With that, she glared at his back resentfully, muttering to herself, “Well, well, Philip Clarke! You say you didn’t hoard any money, but this just goes to show how much you were actually hiding!”

Now, Martha was even more certain that George Thomas had given Philip far more than one million after he helped him that time. There had to be at least five million!

That cursed scum, how dare he try to keep it from her.

Martha was furious, even more so than when that flashy woman hit her.

“Here’s three million, not a penny less. Want to take some?” Philip sat on the couch calmly, looking at Manson who was bowing before him.

Right now, Manson was wishing for the sweet release of death. His entire body was shaking.

Did he dare to take that three million?

No, he did not!

That money would cost him his life!

On the other hand, that flashy woman ran up to them indignantly and grabbed the money from the table, saying, “Of course we’ll take it! Why shouldn’t we? This is to make up for what you did to me!”

That was three whole million in cash! The temptation was all too real!

How could Manny be so spineless? Of course they had to take it!

However!

Bam!

Manson finally blew up. He went forth and gave his sister an almighty kick, sending her sprawling onto the floor as he roared at her, “Take it and I’ll chop off your hands!”

After that, he turned around and knelt before Philip once more, slamming his head repeatedly onto the floor. “Mr. Clarke, please forgive me and my sister. She’s such a fool, but I’ll apologize to you and your wife, sir! We were wrong, it was our fault! We’ll even pay for the damages!”

As he said that, Manson took a bank card from his pocket and offered it to Philip respectfully. “Here’s two million, Mr. Clarke. Think of it as my apology to you and your wife, as well as payment for your parents’ psychological damages and medical fees. Please, accept it!”

By now, most people could see that Philip was not your average citizen!

The only one in the room who did not recognize that fact was Martha. To her, he was still a good-for- nothing piece of trash.

His money was just a hidden nest egg. Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

That Theo something or another was just an actor he called over to scare Manson.

Now, though, she was glad to see Manson apologize. She hastily grabbed the card from Manson’s hands and even swept the money on the table into the bags, taking it all for herself. “Alright, I accept your offer on behalf of my son-in-law. Now, get the hell out of my sight.”

Everyone was once again stunned, looking at Martha with their jaws on the floor.

There truly was no end to her shamelessness!

Philip was exasperated. He glanced at Theo and shook his head, indicating at the latter to call it a day.

What else could he do?

His mother-in-law was simply that greedy for money.

Theo shrugged too and barked, “Come on in!”

Martha jumped and swiveled around to see more than a dozen men in black suits charging through the door. She thought they were here to take the money from her, so she hurriedly held the money against her chest.

However, those men in black suits merely grabbed Manson, his sister, and that fat middle-aged man who had stayed quiet all this time, escorting the three of them away.

With that, Theo bowed at Philip again and said, “Alright then, Mr. Clarke. I’ll take my leave.”

He then led his men away from the scene.

Martha was ecstatic, forgetting all about her pain. She hastily filled the bags with all the money and even casually told Philip, “Philip, I’ll keep this money for you, okay? If you need it, you can come ask me for it later.”

She could not stay here for long. Martha was worried that Philip would change his mind, so she dragged Charles and the bags of money with her, taking off into a run.

Philip was exasperated but helpless. He looked at Wynn beside him and said, “Come on, we should go back too.”

Wynn did not say anything. She left the sales office at the hillside villa with Philip, but once they were outside, she grabbed his arm and looked him in the eye, asking, “Why do you have so much money? Where did you get it from? Also, what’s up with that Theo Zander guy? Why is he…”

Philip interrupted her before she could finish that question and handed the card to her, saying, “Here, this card is for you. There’s some money inside, some of my savings from before I ran away from home. I also secretly bought some stocks since then and earned quite a bit. My initial plan was to take you and Mila on a trip around the world after she leaves the hospital.”

In truth, this card was the one Philip had just gotten at the bank earlier. There was an entire billion inside!

What Wynn did not know was that the money had been saved under her name.

She blinked and quietly accepted the card, giving him a dubious smile. “Your savings? How much is there?”

Philip rubbed his chin and grinned craftily. “Do you really want to know?”

Wynn rolled her eyes. “What, are you saying there’s another million in there? Maybe ten million, or a hundred?”

Of course, Wynn was just joking, but Philip nodded and said calmly, “Yeah, I think there’s ten of those…”
