The First Heir

She was being unreasonable. Philip was nonetheless her son-in-law and had greeted her with sincerity.

Martha tossed all of Philip’s presents by the doorway and shouted angrily at him, “If you’re still a man, Philip Clarke, then don’t take another step into my house. I, Martha Yates, have nothing to do with you. The Johnston family doesn’t welcome good-for-nothings like you in the household.”

Martha was currently fretting over what happened to Aiden. She was not happy when she saw that loser Philip Clarke at her door.

‘Does he think he deserves to step into my house just because he brought a few presents?

‘In his dreams!’

Wynn was frustrated when she saw her mother being unreasonable. “What are you doing, Mom? Philip is here to talk to you,” she said grumpily.

Wynn turned around to pick the items, then brought Philip and sat down inside.

Martha thought that it would be inappropriate to reprimand her daughter. She stopped driving Philip out of the house but did not show him any hospitality. “With him here, it feels like a death in the household. Can’t he realize that he’s an eyesore?” She pointed at Philip and cursed.

Philip was angry when he heard that. He clenched his fists tightly, and his expression sank.

However, Martha was oblivious to all that. She continued cursing, “Wynn, why did you bring this good-for-nothing back to the house? I don’t have anything nice to say to him. It’s either you divorce him, or you cut all ties with me and your father. These are the only two options for you. You’d better choose wisely.”

It was not the first time that Martha had acted so ridiculously.

Wynn was helpless. Martha was her mother after all, and she did not want to anger her any further.

“Mom, why can’t you just listen to the two of us for once?” She said, frustrated, as she sat next to Philip.
