The First Heir

Chapter 332

No, she could not allow it. Anne knew Mr. Philip was not from a wealthy family.

Additionally, from what she had observed that day, he did not have a high status in his family.

She could not accept the money.

Nevertheless, Philip stopped her. He chuckled and said, “Why are you being so courteous with me? If you don’t accept the money, I’ll fire you.”

Fire her?

Anne was shocked. She could not lose her job. Pressing her lips together, Anne bit them and bowed as she thanked Philip repeatedly, “Thank you, Mr. Philip.”

Philip did not say anything.

In the evening, Philip went out looking for Anne and found her in the garden on a phone call. The latter was crying.

“What’s wrong, Anne?” Philip walked over to her and asked in concern.

Anne hung up the phone and wiped away her tears. She said, “I’m fine.”

Philip knew that the young woman was very stubborn. After all, she refused to tell him anything. Hence, Philip sat down and glanced at her phone. On her lock screen, he saw a cute, little boy that was smiling brightly. However, the boy was sick and had a breathing tube in him; he was forcing himself to smile at the camera.

Philip was emotionally stirred. He asked, “Is that your brother?”

Anne pressed her lips together and looked at the photo. She smiled softly. “Yeah, he’s cute, right?”

Philip nodded. “Your brother is like a little man. He’s very strong.”

Anne nodded. She caressed her phone screen and said, “He’s only eight but he’s so smart. He’s always number one in his class.”

As Anne talked about her brother, love and proudness filled her eyes.

Philip nodded and said, “I heard people say that you’re always working hard. You work three jobs a day. In the morning, you’re a nurse at the hospital. Meanwhile, at night, you work at a part-time job and study at the same time. You get a scholarship every year. To be honest, I’m impressed by you. Are you doing this to save up money for your brother’s medical fees?”

Anne was not expecting Philip to be so concerned about her life. She smiled and said, “Yeah, my brother is still young. My parents are not around anymore. He’s my only family member now. If I don’t take care of him, no one will.”

Philip smiled and reminisced about his past. He said, “You’re stronger than your brother. Actually, I lost my mother when I was 12. I wasn’t so strong back then. I locked myself in my room for more than a month.”

Anne was surprised. She comforted in a small voice, “Mr. Philip, your mother must have been a very beautiful woman, right?”

Philip folded his arms behind his head and looked at the blue sky. He said, “Yeah, she was the kindest and gentlest woman on earth. That day, it felt as if the sky had fallen. However, I then met another woman. A woman who changed me.”

Philip smiled sweetly as he talked about it.

“It must be Miss Wynn.”

Anne pressed her lips together and clenched her canine teeth together. She smiled and said with tears in the corner of her eyes.

She was envious of the love Mr. Philip and Miss Wynn had between them.

Philip touched his nose and asked out of the blue, “Right, what does your brother have?”

Anne turned her head. There was a sad expression on her face as she said, “Leukemia.”

Philip inhaled deeply and felt helpless. He said, “It’s hard to treat leukemia. Not only does he need a compatible bone marrow, but he also needs a huge sum of money to pay for the medical fees. Can you handle it alone?”

Anne chuckled bitterly and did not answer Philip. Instead, she glued her eyes to the optimistic little boy on her lock screen.

Philip looked at Annie and got up. He asked, “Do you trust me?”

Anne did not understand Philip. She blinked and merely looked at him curiously. She said, “Mr. Philip, what are you talking about?”

“I can help you. I can find a way for you to pay for the medical bills,” Philip said.

Philip was genuinely fond of Anne. However, he only viewed her as his little sister.

The reason was that he saw a young woman he used to know in Anne.

That very young woman was someone who had given up everything for him.

She was who would be locked in the deepest part of Philip’s memory forever.

It was Philip’s biological sister, Hannah Clarke.

She gave up everything including her life to save him.

Anne was stunned. Philip smiled and said, “Don’t thank me yet. If you want to thank me, just treat me as your big brother, or you can even offer your body to me. However, I think Miss Wynn won’t agree to the latter, so you can only be my sister.”

Anne did not say anything. Philip continued, “I know what you’re thinking. I can only tell you that I’m not the person you think I am. I’m not a spineless coward, okay? Let me tell you the truth, I’m loaded. It’s only between you and me. You can’t tell Miss Wynn.”

Anne was silent for a long while. However, out of the blue, she grinned and said, “Thank you, Mr. Philip.”

Philip knew that Anne did not believe him, so he took her to the ATM machine in the hospital. He inserted his card and showed her his account’s balance.

When Anne saw the amount displayed on the screen, she was taken aback.

H-He was so rich! How many zeros were there?

More than 90 billion bucks!

Mr. Philip was rich!

Then, why had he always been so submissive and weak in front of his mother-in-law?

At the same time, Martha, who was still angry, reached home. When she got to the door, she took out her kets. Suddenly, two muscular men in sunglasses and suits appeared behind her.

They did not say anything. Instead, they grabbed Martha and threw her into a black, commercial, seven-seater car. It has to be said that the way they carried her was similar to how one would carry a sow.

“Ah! Who are you people? Let me go! Help! I’m being kidnapped!”

Martha kicked and screamed, but it was no use.

Slam!

The car door was slammed shut, and the car sped away…
