The First Heir

Slap!

The slap stunned Martha who was arrogant and unreasonable.

Martha became as terrified as a dog. She hid behind Philip and held her face with her hand. She said through gritted teeth, “Who… Who are you? Why did you slap me? My son-in-law is here!”

What could she do? She could only rely on Philip at such a time.

“I heard that Philip’s mother-in-law is famous for being unreasonable and bossy. Now that I’ve met you, I can confirm that your reputation is fully justified.” Chloe snorted.

In Martha’s eyes, Chloe was just an ordinary old woman. Thus, she did not need to take any action herself and someone else would handle her.

However, when Martha heard Chloe’s words, she became furious. She was indeed unreasonable, but she was proud of that. She was able to enjoy quite a number of benefits because of her attitude.

Nonetheless, she did not feel as proud with Chloe saying it straight to her face.

“Even if that were the case, you can’t slap someone willy-nilly.”

Martha had lost her overbearing manner. She looked terrified.

Martha no longer looked like the person who had been targeting Philip maliciously.

Hence, it could be said that she was the type of person who would manipulate the weak and cower at the presence of the strong.

Chloe peered at Martha coldly but ignored her. She looked at Philip and said, “Philip, that slap was for you. You’ll never be able to pay for what you did to me in this lifetime!”

Philip felt helpless. At the same time, he felt remorseful for what he had done to Chloe.
