The First Heir

Martha slapped Charles’ hand away and chastised coldly, “Son-in-law? What kind of son-in-law is he? What has he done for us all these years? Has he ever given us a good life? Take that vflla for instance. He probably used the company’s funds to buy it, but he’s guarding against us like he’s guarding against a thief.”

Charles sighed and said, “Stop talking so much. He helped us settle the case with Martin and Bernard.”

Martha refused to listen and shouted, “Bah! What’s the use of that? Martin and Bernard have founded their own company now. Besides, why should I stop talking? At first, I thought that he was just a useless loser. Who knew that he was the young master of a wealthy family and the owner of that Clarke Group in the capital city? So I thought that I could live a rich life from then on, but what happened after that? They went bankrupt and Philip Clarke is still a useless loser! Why didn’t he tell us when he wasn’t broke? Why still rely on the Johnston family after the bankruptcy? He’s just after Wynnie’s company and assets so that he can pay off his debts!”

The more Charles listened, the darker his face became. His voice became more solemn as he said coldly, “Enough, say no more!”

However, the furious Martha did not notice the emotional changes on Charles’ face at this moment and continued to vent her displeasure.

“What’s enough? No, it’s not! And that second mother of his. Yes, that stepmother named Giada Wallis. Who does she think she is? How dare she yell at me and order me about? If not because she’s rich, I wouldn’t be afraid of her! Just look at Philip ’s wimpy face. He must have lost the fight against that woman for the family fortune and that’s Why he’s still staying in the Johnston family. If I should say so, our Wynnie should have divorced this jinx sooner!”
