The First Heir

Chapter 328

Naturally, their argument attracted the attention of many patients in the hospital and visiting families. They all gathered around to watch what was going on.

Everyone could be seen pointing fingers and discussing loudly.

“Oh, that must be the child’s grandmother. How devious!”

“My heart is in pieces. How could that woman scold the child like that? I heard what she said just now. It was horrible!”

“I recall the little girl’s parents to be nice people who are very friendly. How is it possible that they have such an evil mother?”

Instantly, Martha felt as if she had been insulted.

She was furious because everyone was pointing fingers and faulting her. Consequently, Martha walked up to the nurse and slapped her across the face. She yelled, “Who do you think you are? Are you even qualified to meddle in our family affairs? You’re just a nurse who my daughter and son-in-law hired. Don’t start feeling too proud of yourself, and don’t meddle in other people’s business. If not, I’ll slap you to death, understand?”

Anne was stunned. Her face had begun turning red from the slap.

Martha was beyond evil.

Nevertheless, Anne endured it because Mila was in her arms.

“I did take your son-in-law and daughter’s money, but it has nothing to do with you. You have to apologize to Mila today. If not, you won’t be allowed to leave this place!”

Anne was a nice and kind woman. Undoubtedly, she could not stand a woman like Martha.

Martha was a woman that had a heart made of snakes and scorpions!

It was the first time Anne had seen someone treat their own granddaughter in such a manner.

Being criticized by everyone, Martha was enraged. She glared at Anne and slapped her once more. She shrieked, “You stupid b*tch, say that again. Do you believe me that I’ll rip your mouth off your face? You’re just a penniless fool, and you’re taking our money. You’re just a nurse and should know your place. My daughter is the chairwoman of Beacon Pharmaceutical. Who are you? How dare you talk to me like that?”

Anne’s face was bright red after being slapped twice. However, because of her unbending personality, she continued to lift her head and say, “Yes, I do work for your money. However, I can stop taking it as well. You can’t insult me like this. I’m going to call Mr. Philip and tell him I quit!”

When Martha heard this, she began to panic. What if Philip found out about what happened?

Hence, Martha reached out her hand and smacked Anne’s phone away when she saw the latter taking it out. Consequently, the phone landed on the floor, and its screen became cracked.

“How dare you call him! I’m going to kill you!”

Right after, Martha began to pull at Anne’s hair. She pulled at it with all of her might as she shrieked loudly, “You b*tch! Don’t you know the rules? That useless bum’s money is my money. My daughter’s money is my money. If you dare fight against me, I’ll kill you!”

The crowd that was watching did not dare to help Anne when they saw this scene.

They only wanted to watch the drama. If they jumped in and helped, they were unsure of what would happen to them.

With her arms, Anne tightly held on to Mila who was crying loudly. At the same time, she endured Martha’s punches and kicks.

In the end, Martha pressed Anne against the bed and began slapping her repeatedly.

By this point, Anne had placed Mila aside. Anne’s ace was red, and it was covered with handprints. Additionally, her uniform had been ripped open, exposing her skin.

Anne gritted her teeth; her eyes were filled with tears and grievances.

“You’re an insufferable bully!”

Anne wailed and ran out while covering her mouth.

On the other hand, Martha pointed at the crowd that was at the door and yelled proudly as if she were a rooster that had won a cockfight, “What are you looking at? Get lost!”

A lot of them were infuriated, but they did not dare to do anything.

After yelling at the onlookers, Martha looked at Mila who was sobbing in the corner. She pointed at Mila and said fiercely, “I’ll take care of you next time.”

After that, Martha turned around and left.

Meanwhile, Anne ran out of the hospital and came to the garden. She covered her face and bawled as she squatted on the ground.

She felt extremely wronged.

She had never been humiliated like this before. She was poor but had integrity.

How dare Martha humiliate her like that!Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

“What’s wrong, Annie?”

All of a sudden, Philip walked over to her; he was holding a lunchbox and a bag of fruits.

When Anne heard Philip’s voice, she turned around and quickly wiped away her tears.

“I-I’m fine.”

Anne forced a smile. Her eyes were red like someone who had just cried.

Philip frowned and said, “You’re fine? You were crying so heavily just now. Tell me, who bullied you? I’ll stand up for you.”

“Who else? It was your horrible mother-in-law!”

A nurse walked over and glared at Philip furiously before saying to him, “She attacked Annie and made her look like this in front of everyone just now.”

“Oh, Sheila, please stop saying such things. Mr. Philip, don’t listen to her. Nothing happened.”

Anne clutched the other nurse’s skirt and hinted at her with her eyes.

Martha?

“What the hell happened?” Philip asked with furrowed brows.

The other nurse could not take it anymore. “The more you don’t want me to tell him, the more I want to. Philip, I’m telling you, your mother-in-law is a monster. She just…”

When Philip heard what the other nurse said, he felt rage well up in his body. Additionally, his entire body turned cold.

He grabbed Anne and said icily, “Let’s go. I’ll stand up for you!”
