The First Heir

No, she could not allow it. Anne knew Mr. Philip was not from a wealthy family.

Additionally, from what she had observed that day, he did not have a high status in his family.

She could not accept the money.

Nevertheless, Philip stopped her. He chuckled and said, “Why are you being so courteous with me? If you don’t accept the money, I’ll fire you.”

Fire her?

Anne was shocked. She could not lose her job. Pressing her lips together, Anne bit them and bowed as she thanked Philip repeatedly, “Thank you, Mr. Philip.”

Philip did not say anything.

In the evening, Philip went out looking for Anne and found her in the garden on a phone call. The latter was crying.

“What’s wrong, Anne?” Philip walked over to her and asked in concern.

Anne hung up the phone and wiped away her tears. She said, “I’m fine.”

Philip knew that the young woman was very stubborn. After all, she refused to tell him anything. Hence, Philip sat down and glanced at her phone. On her lock screen, he saw a cute, little boy that was smiling brightly. However, the boy was sick and had a breathing tube in him; he was forcing himself to smile at the camera.

Philip was emotionally stirred. He asked, “Is that your brother?”

Anne pressed her lips together and looked at the photo. She smiled softly. “Yeah, he’s cute, right?”

Philip nodded. “Your brother is like a little man. He’s very strong.”
