The First Heir

Chapter 334

When Charles returned and saw Martha, he was horrified. “Honey, what happened? Who beat you up?”

Charles helped Martha into the house. He was heartbroken after seeing the state she was in.

Thus, Charles immediately busied himself with fetching Martha ice packs and rolling hard-boiled eggs on her bruises.

Martha was fuming as she sat on the sofa. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

She did not even know any Giada Wallis. Why had the latter beaten her up?

“What happened? Who made your face like this?”

Charles was heartbroken. After all, this was the wife he had shared the same bed with for the past 20 years.

“Who else? It was your wonderful son-in-law, Philip! Why? Do you dare call him here and teach him a lesson?”

Martha was seething. She was now talking without thinking. At the end of the day, she despised Philip after what had happened.

When Charles heard that, he exploded from anger. He had changed his outlook on Philip. However, he was not expecting that useless scum to beat his own mother-in-law. He had even gone as far as to beat her until her face was all swollen like a balloon.

He was digging his own grave!

“What a revolting fool! Just you wait, I’ll call him to come back right now with Wynn. They have to get a divorce!”

Charles was quite terrifying whenever he became angry. He took out his phone and called Wynn. He said in a low voice, “Get back here now! Your mom is in trouble!”

After calling Wynn, he called Philip. He was furious, and he yelled, “Philip, get back here right now!”

When Philip and Wynn got home, the atmosphere in the living room was extremely icy.

It was especially true when Wynn and Philip saw Martha sitting on the sofa, covered in bruises. They were both stunned.

Charles was livid. When he saw Philip, he ran over to him and slapped him across the face with all of his might.

“Philip, how dare you! How dare you beat up your own mother-in-law! Get out of my house now! And, get a divorce with Wynn! I don’t have a heartless son-in-law like you!” Charles yelled angrily.

Philip was being accused of an absurd allegation. He explained helplessly, “Dad, have you come to a misunderstanding? I didn’t do it.”

Martha had not expected Charles to be so manly that day. The latter even hit Philip for her. She felt very pleased as she sat on the sofa with her ice pack. She squinted her eyes and smirked coldly.

“You’re the one who hit me in the hospital today! You’re still trying to argue? So many people saw you do it!”

Martha said deviously.

She was waiting for Charles to explode. Her man was finally standing up for her. If he could separate Philip and Wynn, it would be the best outcome.

Charles glared at Philip angrily and shoved him aside. Then, he pointed at the door and yelled, “Get out now! You don’t have a position in this house anymore, Philip!”

Philip no longer had any excuse. He looked at Martha who was sitting on the sofa; the latter had a pleased look on her face. Immediately, he understood what had happened.

She was shifting the blame on him.

‘Alright, Martha, do you really need to do this?’

When Wynn saw her mother’s bruises on one side, she began to frown.

Martha was badly hurt, and her face was swollen.

Even if Martha had been unreasonable, there was no reason to be so vicious to her. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

Had Philip found out about what happened earlier that morning?

Nevertheless, he had no right to do such a thing. After all, she was his mother-in-law. To have done such a thing, he was too vicious.

“Philip, why did you beat mom up? Apologize now!”

Wynn was beginning to have a headache. She had a lot of work at the office, and there was so much trouble at home.

When Martha saw that Wynn was mad, she immediately added fuel to the fire by saying, “It’s him! I don’t want a son-in-law like him! Wynnie, you have to divorce him. This is domestic abuse! Domestic abuse! How are you going to live like this? What about your unborn child?”

Philip’s face darkened as he said, “Wynnie, I didn’t. It wasn’t me.”

Martha was not happy when she heard that. Thus, she got up and threw her blanket onto the floor. She pointed at Philip and yelled, “You did it, yet you’re still trying to deny it!”

Philip’s face was extremely dark now. “Martha, I’m warning you. If you dare attack me maliciously again, I’ll definitely teach you a lesson!”

In the blink of an eye, the room fell silent.

The reason for that was Philip’s face was filled with anger when he said that sentence. Out of nowhere, Martha felt scared and was reminded of that woman.

She exploded in anger!

“Philip, what did you call me? Well, well, you learned how to threaten me, huh?”

Martha was extremely angry. She pointed at Philip angrily and looked at Wynn as she said, “Wynnie, listen to him. Listen to what Philip just said!”

Wynn looked at Philip’s face. It was her first time feeling so scared of him. He was so terrifying moments ago.

Wynn knew that Philip was mad.

Thus, she pulled Philip out of the manor and said hurriedly, “Philip, tell me, what’s going on right now? How did mom get her bruises?”

Philip’s face was stone cold as he asked, “Do you not trust me?”

Wynn was shocked. She did not have time to react.

“If I told you that I slapped mom today for a good reason, what would you do?” Philip asked.

Wynn frowned and asked, “So you really did hit her?”

Philip nodded and admitted to it before continuing, “Mom beat Anne up unreasonably in the hospital, so I taught her a lesson. However, I did not cause the bruises on her face.”

Philip did not tell her about Mila. He was worried that Wynn would have a fallout with Martha out of anger.

Wynn sighed helplessly and grabbed Philip’s hand. She said, “Philip, apologize to mom for my sake, okay?”

Philip knew that Martha would definitely keep a grudge if he did not sort it out. Hence, he nodded and said, “Alright.”

Then, the two returned to the house. Instantly, Martha pointed at Philip bossily and said, “Why? What else do you want to say? Get out now, I don’t want to see you!”

Wynn approached Martha and took her hand before saying, “Mom, Philip knows he’s at fault. He’s going to apologize to you now, okay?”

When Martha heard this, her heart bloomed. However, her face still looked arrogant as she said, “Apologize? Alright, tell him to kneel and kowtow to me!”

In the blink of an eye!

The room plunged into dead silence.

Philip clenched his fists in anger, and he stared at Martha coldly as he said in a deep voice, “Martha Yates, don’t be dissatisfied with small gains!”
