The First Heir

A deep voice sounded behind Martha. She got such a fright that she choked on a mouthful of water, coughed violently, and stood up in a panic while asking, “What… What’s the matter?”

Standing at the top of the stairs, Philip walked down and stared at Martha coldly. He asked, “Did you enter my bedroom just now?”

Of course, Martha would never admit it. She said, “No, of course not. Why would I enter your bedroom?”

After that, she abruptly raised her voice and said, “Oh, I think Anne went into your bedroom this morning for cleaning duties. What’s wrong? Did you lose something? I already told you that Anne isn’t a good person. She stays here and lives off of us. Now, she’s even resorted to stealing!”

Martha tried her best to put all the blame on Anne.

Philip glared at Martha before turning around and leaving.

Taking advantage of the time when Philip was upstairs, Martha quickly ran into Anne’s room to find a place to hide the jade ring.

After thinking about it, she placed it on the desk instead. It was more conspicuous that way.

She breathed a sigh of relief after doing that. She ran out of the room and continued sitting in the living room, eating leisurely.

Philip was extremely agitated now. He had lost the Sovereignty Seal!

How could that be possible?

However, he had turned the whole bedroom upside down but just could not find it!

It was all his fault. He had left such an important item in the bedroom.

It was also at this time that Anne returned with Mila.

Martha intentionally tried to stop Anne from returning to her room, so she deliberately shouted, “Oh, Mila’s home. Here, come to Grandma. I have cake for you.”
