The First Heir

Sigh! His wife was just too beautiful that so many people were trying to court her. It gave Philip a headache.

“Hey, Aiden’s here! Come, come, come and sit beside your Uncle Johnston.” Martha was clearly enthusiastic as she welcomed him. “Why did you have to bring gifts? You’re just too kind. Just your presence would have been enough!”

“It’s Uncle Johnston’s birthday, after all.” Aiden smiled and walked over to sit beside Charles.

At this, the crowd started shooting mocking looks at Philip. This son-in-law of the Johnston family was just too wretched. Even an outsider could sit beside Charles Johnston, but as a son-in-law, he had to sit closest to the door. This difference in treatment was just too obvious.

Martha was smiling with her eyes as she looked at Aiden like she was looking at her future son-in-law. “It’s thanks to Aiden reserving this private room that we get to dine here at Virtuous Court today.”

The crowd then looked at Aiden in adoration. To be able to reserve a private room at Virtuous Court was a member’s only privilege. And that membership required a minimum spending of one million annually! He was truly a wealthy man!

Aiden quickly waved his hand. Although he sounded modest, he could not conceal the pleased look on his face. “Oh, it’s nothing. It’s no trouble at all. Our company just earned a little more, and it is really thanks to my father that I have managed to book this room.”

He was blatantly just showing off this wealth and family background. However, no one would expose him. Instead, they ardently complimented him.

“Aiden is a competent young man.”

“Whoever gets him as a son-in-law must have great karma.”

Aiden was immediately shown great respect and admiration. Philip, who had been sitting quietly in a corner, was instead looked down upon. They were both men, but the differences were too great.

“The way I see it, if Wynn had married Aiden back then, she would’ve been a rich wife by now.”

No one knew who had said this deliberately, but the family members were now taking great pleasure in mocking Philip.

“Look at his wretched appearance, how vexing.”

“A good-for-nothing that only knows how to make deliveries!”

“I heard his daughter is a medicine junkie. She has congenital heart disease and can’t be cured.”
