The First Heir

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 on the sofa. She crossed her arms and started pondering with a look of disbelief on her face. Then, she
said, “Philip must be hiding something from us. Charlie, call him now and ask him to come over. I need to ask him what’s his
relationship with George. I want to know if he’s hiding more money from me.”
Martha was only concerned about the money.
She believed Philip must have taken a lot of money for himself.
He must have taken more than one million bucks.
After all, he had saved someone’s life. Plus, the other guy was treating him so courteously.
Charles hesitated for a while and said suddenly, “Martha, don’t you think that Philip has been acting differently from before?”

How would Martha care about this? She slammed her hand on the table and said, “What’s so different? He’s still a spineless
coward. If he’s really different, I, as his mother-in-law, will hire a palanquin with eight carriers to bring him to our home
honorably!”
Charles sighed helplessly and said, “Why are you doing this? Philip is our son-in-law, after all. Do you have to treat him this
way?”
Even though Charles did not want to recognize a good-for-nothing like Philip as his son-in-law, at the end of the day, the fact
could not be changed.
Martha glared at him and said, “Why are you talking so much? Call him now!”
When she saw that Charles did not make a move, she took out her own phone and said angrily, “If you won’t do it, I will!”
After she dialed the number, Martha waited. When the call went through, Martha said arrogantly, “Philip, where are you? Come
to my house now. Your father-in-law and I have something to ask you.”
When Philip got Martha’s call, he had just arrived at the hospital with George. Her tone was unfriendly and it sounded like she
was interrogating him.
He smiled and said, “Mom, I’m at the hospital. I’ll go there in a bit.”
“No! Get over here now!” Martha said proudly.
Slam!
She hung up the phone without waiting for a reply, making Philip sigh helplessly. He called a car and went to the Old Johnston
Manor.
When he got inside the house, Philip could feel the coldness inside.
Martha was sitting on the sofa. She looked at him with the corner of her eyes. She said coldly, “You’re here. Sit.”
Philip nodded and greeted the two elders. Then, he sat on the single-seated sofa diagonally across Martha. He asked, “Mom,
what’s wrong? Why did you ask me to come here in such a hurry?”
Martha did not beat around the bush. She said frankly, “Philip, what’s your relationship with George? Did you really just save
him? That’s all?”

Philip was shocked. What did Martha find out?
No way! He had been hiding this quite well.
“Mom, didn’t I already explain it to you? Why don’t I ask Mr. Thomas over to explain this again?” Philip said.
However, Martha chuckled coldly and grabbed her phone. Then, she put it in front of Philip and pointed at the screen. “Is this
you?”
He was still lying to him!
When Philip saw the photo, his heart dropped. Was Martha stalking him?
He lifted his eyebrows, and his face fell. Philip looked disgusted as he said, “It’s me. However, this doesn’t mean anything. I was
just there to express my gratitude. In the end, Mr. Thomas was very courteous to me. He walked me out personally and drove
me back to my office.”
“That’s all?” Martha was curious. However, she had no proof that Philip was lying.
Philip chuckled and said, “Then will you two believe me if I tell you I own Apex Group and George is working for me?”
Of course not!
Martha would not believe this.
She would know what kind of person her son-in-law was.
If it was just like he said, why did he choose to suffer her cold shoulders and humiliation all this time?
