The First Heir

Philip’s voice was not loud. He smiled at them apologetically.

Even so, his words left everyone in the room stunned.

Martha especially looked at him like he was a ghost. She felt terrible all over, and she burst out swearing, “Damn you, Philip, no one asked you! Get the hell out!”

Martha was beside herself with fury.

Philip was such a blabbermouth.

“Compare yourself to Paula’s son-in-law! Do you think you have any right to speak?” Martha roared at Philip furiously.

“If you weren’t so useless, would I embarrass myself in front of my family like this? I must have been blind to accept a useless piece of trash like you as my son-in-law back then!

“Look at her son-in-law, look what he bought for her! What about you? Have you ever bought me anything? How can you say such nonsense on top of that? If you want to go to the party, you can go by yourself! I’m not going!”

As Martha howled at him, Philip lowered his head helplessly.

It seemed his mother-in-law was dead certain that he was a good-for-nothing now.

Next to them, Paula enjoyed the show, chuckling to herself coldly. The irony on her face intensified.

She pretended to say kindly, “Come on, Martha, don’t keep venting your temper on poor Philip like that. You know what they say, a girl is only as good as the man she marries. It’s not Philip’s fault, it’s Wynn’s fault for choosing the wrong man.”
