The First Heir

Paula flicked a glance at Philip. Amused by his timid and obedient display, she could not help her sarcasm. “You have such a good son-in-law. Although he’s not promising, he’s good at doing housework. You can be relaxed because of that.”

Martha was angry when she heard this and promptly cursed. “He’s nothing but a useless piece of trash. So what if he can do the housework? If he’s half as good as Frank, I won’t have to suffer so much and live in this old manor with Charles.”

Paula’s eyes narrowed with a smile. When she saw Philip walking over with the tea, she deliberately loosened her hold on the cup, making hot water spill all over Philip’s hands.

The boiling hot water instantly burned Philip’s skin a fiery red!

The cup also shattered with a loud crack.

“Oh dear, I’m so sorry. The cup was too hot, and I didn’t hold it properly. Philip, I hope your hands are alright.” Paula pretended to be concerned.

Philip clenched his teeth in pain and forced out a smile. “It’s fine.”

After that, he quickly ran into the kitchen and soaked his hands in cold water, but a huge blister had already formed!

The pain was excruciating!

Philip’s eyes were cold as he stood in the kitchen. How could he not notice that Paula had done it on purpose?
