The First Heir

“What’s going on? Aiden’s the one who solved this, right? Why is Mr. Collins here for Philip?”

“Are you only seeing it now? Who is Philip? Isn’t he just a piece of trash?”

“Martha is unreliable. She’s treating us like we’re fools!”

The seniors gathered together and started gossiping. Their faces were filled with shock and envy.

Martha could see it now. Mr. Collins had come here for her son-in-law.

She pulled Philip to one side and asked in a flattering way, “Philip, do you know Mr. Collins?”

This was the first time Philip felt this kindness from her.

Philip wanted to tell her the truth, but after pondering, he said, “Mom, you’re mistaken. How would I know a man like Mr. Collins? I just called a friend of his and coincidentally, he’s responsible for this. Maybe he’s the one exerting pressure on him?”

When Martha heard that, she was not suspicious. She nodded and said disappointedly, “I knew it. You’re just a coward. How would you know people like Mr. Collins?”

Philip frowned.

His mother-in-law’s attitude toward him changed so quickly.

“Alright, leave the rest to me. Don’t talk anymore,” Martha said coldly.

She was worried that a foolish guy like Philip would ruin things by running his mouth. Plus, she still wanted to flex in front of her friends.

When she thought about this, Martha walked away with her head held high. She pointed at Lamar and scolded, “Mr. Collins, I think you have to get in touch with your conscience. You can’t just give me something, you have to give everyone something too.”

Actually, when she said that, she was extremely nervous.
