The First Heir

Chapter 329

Anne was nervous. Hence, she said while she was being dragged by Philip, “Mr. Philip, it’s okay. I’m fine. She’s your mother-in-law after all. If you guys fight because of me, I’ll feel bad.”

Despite feeling aggrieved, Anne knew her place.

Martha was Mr. Philip’s mother-in-law after all. If they fought because of her, she would feel bad.

She was just a child from a poor family. Her parents had told her that she had to endure every hardship thrown to her, and she could not fight with other people.

Not to mention, Mr. Philip had always been good to her. She could not bear cause him any trouble.

“It’s fine. Just listen to me. Even though she’s my mother-in-law, she can’t be allowed to be so unreasonable.”

Philip comforted Anne. Even though he had managed to endure Martha for the past three years because of Wynn, he could not let the current matter go just like that.

Martha had involved other people in her unreasonableness. How could Philip just let her be like that, showing her temper and cruelness?

Not long after, Philip ran into Martha who was about to exit the hospital.

Astonishingly, she had a huge smile plastered on her face as she held her bag and yelled at the people around her.

It was as if she owned this hospital.

“What are you penniless bums looking at? Why? My daughter is the chairwoman of Beacon Pharmaceutical. You can’t touch me!”

Martha pointed at the family members of the patients and yelled rudely. It was as if her actions were justified because she was the one yelling the loudest.

After Martha finished shouting, she turned around to leave. However, she then saw Philip and Anne walking toward her.

In the blink of an eye, Martha became even more enraged. She ran over, pointed at Anne who was behind Philip, and yelled, “You little b*tch! How dare you have the cheek to come back? I’m going to kill you!”

Having said that, Martha lifted her hand in an attempt to slap Annie.

Nevertheless, Anne hid behind Philip out of fear. Her eyes were teary as she lowered her head and yelled, “Who are you to slap me?”

“Oh? You have a temper now, huh? Do you think I won’t hit you because you have this useless bum with you? He’s just good-for-nothing in my household. He has to listen to me as well!”

Martha pointed at Philip’s nose and yelled bossily. She did not respect her son-in-law at all.

Philip, who was standing in front of Anne, caught Martha’s slap and said with a solemn face, “Martha Yates, shut the f*ck up!”

“Philip, are you insane? Is that how you talk to me? Get lost!”

Martha screeched.

How dare Philip call her by her name? He was being truant!

Who did he think he was?

He was merely the useless son-in-law of the Johnston family!

“Apologize to Anne. She’s a nurse I hired.”

Philip said coldly.

“Philip, are you confused about your status? What do you mean the nurse you hired? I am the matriarch of the house. You’re just a son-in-law. Are you even qualified to speak to me? Are you looking for a beating?” This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Martha said rudely as she lifted her hand to slap him.

It was too sudden!

Her useless, good-for-nothing son-in-law was rebelling against her! She would slap him in front of everyone to let him know who was the boss!

Slap!

When Philip saw that Martha was about to slap him, he did not dodge. On the other hand, Anne ran out from behind Philip and took the slap for him.

Consequently, a loud thud was heard as it reverberated throughout the corridor of the hospital.

Anne clutched her face and cheeks that were red. Her eyes were filled with tears as she said aggrievedly, “Mr. Philip, let’s go.”

Philip’s face fell as anger welled up in his heart. Martha was so unreasonable!

He was very unfortunate to have a mother-in-law like her. It was as if he had accumulated eight generations of misfortune and was suffering the consequences.

Philip had to make Martha apologize to Anne about what had happened that day.

Internally, Martha was laughing. She furrowed her brows and started to mutter.

Did Philip and Anne have an illicit relationship?

No, she had to tell Wynn about it.

The two had to be cahooting behind their backs.

At this moment, the crowd started to berate Martha loudly.

“That woman is so overbearing! If I were him, I would kill her!”

“F*ck! I’m so mad watching this!”

“Kid, don’t be scared. You have our full support. Your mother-in-law is so evil!”

When Martha heard everyone talking about her, her expression changed, and she had the urge to leave.

“Get lost! Do you not understand human language?” Martha lifted her hand once again.

However, just as her hand was about to make contact with Philip’s face, the latter caught hold of her wrist.

“Philip, what are you doing?”

Martha said in an icy tone.

Philip’s face was as cold as ice water, yet flames could be seen burning in his eyes. He said, “Martha Yates, I’m warning you. Don’t you dare think that you can do whatever you want just because you’re Wynn’s mother! Apologize to Anne now!”

“Apologize to a stupid b*tch like her? Are you insane? Not to mention, you’re only a piece of trash in my eye, Philip. Who are you to talk to me in that tone? Let go!”

Martha was gritting her teeth in anger. The useless bum was being disrespectful to her!

She had to tell Wynn about it when she got home. She had to ask Wynn to divorce him!

‘If he continues to stay in the family, I’ll leave!’
