The First Heir

Anne was nervous. Hence, she said while she was being dragged by Philip, “Mr. Philip, it’s okay. I’m fine. She’s your mother-in-law after all. If you guys fight because of me, I’ll feel bad.”

Despite feeling aggrieved, Anne knew her place.

Martha was Mr. Philip’s mother-in-law after all. If they fought because of her, she would feel bad.

She was just a child from a poor family. Her parents had told her that she had to endure every hardship thrown to her, and she could not fight with other people.

Not to mention, Mr. Philip had always been good to her. She could not bear cause him any trouble.

“It’s fine. Just listen to me. Even though she’s my mother-in-law, she can’t be allowed to be so unreasonable.”

Philip comforted Anne. Even though he had managed to endure Martha for the past three years because of Wynn, he could not let the current matter go just like that.

Martha had involved other people in her unreasonableness. How could Philip just let her be like that, showing her temper and cruelness?

Not long after, Philip ran into Martha who was about to exit the hospital.

Astonishingly, she had a huge smile plastered on her face as she held her bag and yelled at the people around her.

It was as if she owned this hospital.

“What are you penniless bums looking at? Why? My daughter is the chairwoman of Beacon Pharmaceutical. You can’t touch me!”

Martha pointed at the family members of the patients and yelled rudely. It was as if her actions were justified because she was the one yelling the loudest.

After Martha finished shouting, she turned around to leave. However, she then saw Philip and Anne walking toward her.
