The First Heir Chapter 154
Back to Philip. After he got out of Juan’s mansion, he got into Theo’s car and drove to George’s place.“Old Man George, it’s so late. Why are you here?” Philip sat on the soft sofa and savored his wine.George walked in front of Philip respectfully and bowed. He said, “Young Master, I’m sorry. My mistakes have caused you to suffer unredressed injustice.”Philip replied indifferently, “Old Man George, don’t do this. It’s nothing. Tell me, what’s wrong? Why are you so anxious to see me?”George pondered for a while and answered deferentially, “Young Master, Miss Sommerset will be coming to Riverdale in a few days.”Clank!The room plunged into dead silence.Philip’s wine glass was suspended in the air. After a long while, he placed it on the marble coffee table that was adorned with gold lining. His face looked glum.His eyes looked lifeless. He looked as if he had something on his mind.After a long while, Philip asked while lifting his eyebrow slightly, “Why is she coming her

Swoosh!The door opened to reveal Philip standing there.Martha’s expression froze. Then, she said curiously, “Aren’t you in jail? How did you get out?”Philip smiled and said, “Mom, I didn’t break the law, so naturally they let me out.”At the same time, Wynn heard Philip’s voice and ran out. She hugged Philip and wailed.Philip consoled her. “It’s alright now. I’m fine. See, I’m here now.”Everyone sat together in the living room.Martha and Charles sat on the sofa. Their eyes were piercing and they looked angry. They stared at Philip like they were going to interrogate him.There was an old man next to Philip. It was George.Martha started at George, looking annoyed, “Philip, who is this old man? How can you bring strangers into my house?”Martha did not like this old man’s outfit. He was old and wearing a suit. He was also holding a black hat that she had never seen before. There was a grin on his face.It was obvious that he was not an honorable person.No wonder Phili

“Oh, um… Mr. Thomas, please don’t misunderstand. Please don’t mind me. I’m just a wretched old woman. I was just babbling before. Please don’t take my words to heart.”Martha was frantic, but she was excited. She got up and went over to brew some tea and cut some fruits. She wanted so badly to give George all the best food in her home.George just smiled lightly. He said courteously, “You don’t have to do that. I’m just driving little Philip home. I’ll get going now.”“It’s nothing, it’s nothing at all. It’s such an honor to have you in our house, Mr. Thomas. Please have some, these are the fruits I just bought today. This is also the best Maojian tea. I won’t even be willing to drink this usually.”Martha’s attitude did a 180 change. She was eagerly attentive to George.She even interrupted Charles when he wanted to say something.“Sit there and read your newspaper,” Martha scolded Charles before turning around and looking at George like he was a national treasure. Her eyes were

This was Martha’s true self. She would reach out her hand and ask for money like it was the most natural thing to do.She was a woman with no shame.Philip was dumbfounded. He did not know what to say, so he looked at Wynn instead.Wynn walked over and said coldly, “Mom, what are you doing? Even if Philip has that money, we can’t give it to you. It’s for Mila’s treatment.”Wynn knew Philip’s personality. He must be saying that he had one million bucks to deal with Martha.However, he did not expect his mother-in-law to ask for the money.When Martha heard that, her face fell. She got up and started making a ruckus. “I never said I won’t use it to treat Mila. I’m just gonna keep this money for you and you can ask for it from me when you want to use it.”Wynn was furious. She would not give her the money no matter what.Martha did not even care about Mila. It would be hard to get the money back from her when she got her hands on the money.Martha turned her head to look at Phi

200 million? Derrick almost fell down from his chair.“Director Stanley, are you sure you’re not joking? It’s obvious that the terms in this contract are more beneficial to Beacon.” Wynn felt like she was dreaming. This was unbelievable.Director Stanley smiled and said, “Miss Johnston, we’ve already signed it. What else are you worried about?”Wynn looked over and the contract was indeed signed. It was also stamped.This meant that as long as Wynn signed it, the contract would be in effect.It seemed like Philip and Professor Turner’s relationship was not that simple. There must be something she did not know.She had to go back and ask Philip.Recently, Wynn realized she understood Philip less and less. He had changed too much.When she thought about that, Wynn lifted the pen and was about to sign.However, at this moment!The door of the meeting room was opened. In a flash, eight bodyguards in suits barged in and stood at the door.An elegant woman with a strapless lon

After that icy woman left the meeting room, everyone still could not calm down.Wynn’s face was burning. She did not even know who that was.However, it seemed like she knew Philip.Derrick looked apologetic. He said, “Director Stanley, I’m sorry about that. Um, about our collaboration...”Director Stanley smiled and tried to soothe the awkwardness. “Of course there’s nothing wrong with the collaboration. We can just…”Before he could finish, Director Stanley’s phone rang.After he answered the call, Director Stanley said a few things before his face fell. “Alright, I got it.”“What’s wrong, Director Stanley? What’s going on?” Derrick could read the changes in Director Stanley’s face.Did something happen?“I’m sorry, Mr. Hall, Miss Johnston. We have to stop this collaboration. I don’t really know the details. I have to go back and discuss this further with Director Turner. I’m sorry.”Director Stanley said that and left with his people. There were now only Derrick and his

Lynn was panicking. She stomped her feet and grabbed Philip’s arm. She said, “Philip, tell them if this is real or not. No, you have to call Theo now and tell him to come here!”Lynn was starting to throw a tantrum.She had never been suspected like this before, so of course she was feeling unhappy.However, Philip shook his head and said, “I’m sorry, I don’t know any Theo Zander. Lynn, did you make a mistake?”“Hahaha!”Laughter immediately erupted.Lynn’s face went red. She could feel the detest coming from her friends.She felt like a featherless chicken that was standing in front of everyone naked. She was being criticized and shamed by everyone.“Lynn, that’s enough. Your brother-in-law has already said that, so stop lying to us already. We won’t laugh at you.”“Your brother-in-law is an honest man. He’s not that much of an idiot it seems.”“That’s enough. We’ll just go and have fun ourselves.”Her friends left while laughing.Lynn was livid. She turned around angrily
The First Heir Chapter 161
She was panicking!Martha was beyond frantic now. She hurriedly took out her phone with trembling hands and took a photo.She wanted to save some evidence so that she could go back and ask Philip.Naturally, Martha was suspicious of Philip’s identity now.How could a spineless coward get into the same luxury car as the richest man in Riverdale?Martha could not understand this. She turned around and left.When she got back home, she told Charles everything. “Charlie, look at this. Is this Philip?”Charles was fiddling with his birds. He put down the birdcage and put on his presbyopic glasses to take a look. He said, “Why did you take his picture? Are you still following Philip?”Charles was shocked. What was wrong with his wife?She was even using such cheap tricks to stalk him?Martha glared at him and smacked him on the arm. She said, “Look at the person next to him!”Charles was curious. He looked closely and exclaimed, “Is… Is that George Thomas?”Martha nodded and sat
