The First Heir

Chapter 304

“Mom, I really…”

“Enough! Shut up, why are you still lying?”

Martha was mad. This useless guy was still lying about this? “Right, come back for a while. There’s going to be a guest in the house. Come back and act as the supporting role.”

After she said that, Martha hung up the phone. She slammed the phone down on the coffee table with her cheeks puffed in anger.

“What’s wrong? Did Philip make you upset again?” Charles asked after noticing the changes in Martha’s expression.

“That wretched bum is still lying to me. He said he bought a house at Longford Park. You have no idea, the mansions over there cost at least 35 million! Is he crazy? How can he say something like this?”

Martha gritted her teeth in anger.

Charles shook his head helplessly. He sighed and asked all of a sudden, “Will you move there if he has really bought a house at Longford Park?”

Martha was taken aback. She frowned and pointed at the door after getting up. She shouted, “He’s just a worthless piece of trash. How can he afford a house at Longford Park? Let’s not talk about that place anymore. I’ll cook and clean for him every day even if he buys a villa in the hills for me. I’ll serve him tea and wait on him!”

When Charles heard this, he shook his head even more. He did not say anything else.

His wife was like this.

“Right, I forgot to tell you, Charlie. Joel Harris is coming over in a bit. Go buy some ingredients, I’ll cook for him later.”

Martha sat down suddenly as a huge grin appeared on her face.

“Joel Harris? Old Man Harris’ boy? Isn’t he studying overseas? He’s back?” Charles was shocked. He removed his presbyopic glasses.

“Of course! That kid is just amazing. He did his Ph.D. overseas, and now he’s the CEO of a listed company. Wynnie is one of the reasons why he came back this time.”

When Martha talked about Joel, her face was glowing. She was absolutely beaming. It was as if she was bragging about how great her own son was. “Do you remember how we disagreed when they dated each other in senior high? I think that idiot boy wants to come back and continue his relationship with Wynnie.”

“Wynnie is already married. Why are you still trying to do this?”

Charles was taken aback. He did not understand what Martha meant.

“Say, are you stupid? So what if she’s married? Is that piece of trash Philip better than Joel? Plus, you can get a divorce after you’re married. As long as Joel still has feelings for Wynnie, we’ll just give him a hand.”

Martha smiled and said. Her eyes were twinkling with joy.

“Aren’t you separating the love birds this way? Why are you always doing something so immoral?” Charles could not take this anymore

When Martha heard this, she was unhappy. She said, “Me? Immoral? Do you want our daughter to spend the rest of her life with that piece of trash?”

Charles did not say anything. He got up and left to buy the ingredients.

What an unreasonable woman.

Philip stayed with Mila for a while before calling a cab to go back to the Old Johnston Manor.

When he was at the door, he saw a brand new Porsche.

This guest was pretty wealthy.

Philip walked into the house and saw Martha chatting with a young man with a huge smile on her face. There were all kinds of sliced fruits in front of them.

“Joel, I’ve already given Wynnie a call. She’ll come back in a bit. I heard you’re working in Hodgson Pharmaceutical and that you’re also the CEO.”

Martha looked very passionate.

Joel Harris was the CEO of the listed company, Hodgson Pharmaceutical. He studied overseas for six years and had just returned to the country. Plus, his family was rich. He was the young master of Harris Enterprise.

He and Wynn were the golden couple when they were in senior high. They had a short period of romance, but in the end, their relationship failed.

Martha was still brooding about this until now. She had been blind back then. That was why she did not agree to their relationship.

At the same time, Philip came back.

“Aunt Martha, who is this?” Joel was shocked when he saw a man coming in through the door.

Martha glared at Philip in agitation and changed the subject. “It’s fine, just ignore him. Let’s talk about you. Uncle Charlie is out to buy some ingredients. He’ll be back in a bit. You should just stay for dinner. We haven’t seen you in so long. Wynnie must have missed you so much.”

Wynn? Miss him?

Philip felt awkward. He stood at the door and did not know what to say.

He could tell that his mother-in-law was purposely hiding his identity.

Philip did not say anything. When he was about to go into the bedroom, Martha scolded, “Why are you standing there? Hurry up and get a glass of water for Joel.”

Philip grunted a reply and poured a new glass of water before handing it to Joel politely.

Joel also accepted the glass courteously and thanked him. Then, he asked curiously, “Aunt Martha, did you hire a male housekeeper?”

Housekeeper?

Damn it!

Philip was enraged.

Martha chuckled and did not explain. If she knew that this would have happened, she would not have asked Philip to come back.

Coincidentally, Wynn came back too.

“Mom, why did you ask me to come back in such a hurry?”All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

Wynn was wearing a black pantsuit. She was tall and slender. Her temperament as an office lady was alluring.

When Joel saw Wynn, his eyes were filled with love. He got up and said, “Wynnie, you’re back.”

Wynn was shocked. She looked at Joel, and her face bloomed like a flower. She said excitedly, “Joel, when did you come back?”

After she said that, Joel walked over and hugged Wynn in front of Philip. He said softly, “I just got back. I’ve been thinking about you every day for the past few years. It’s great to see you.”

F*cking hell!

Philip’s face fell immediately.
