The First Heir

Everyone was dumbfounded with what Philip had just said!
Philip, a useless bum, dared to speak to Eric like that?
That was unexpected!
This good-for-nothing was fighting back!
They were in the Yates Courtyard, which was ruled by the Yates family!
Did he not consider the consequences of his actions?
Eric’s face immediately sank. He had an arrogant attitude and said angrily, “Philip, you dare berate me like that? You are a
useless son-in-law of the Johnston family. Who do you think you are to talk to me like this? Who are you to be here today for
Grandpa’s birthday celebration? I won’t let you pass this door today! Useless piece of sh*t, who do you think you are?!”
Eric was annoyed. He had not expected a good-for-nothing like Philip to berate him like that.
It was an insult to him and an insult to the Yates family!
Aaron immediately agreed with Eric. He pointed at Philip arrogantly and screamed, “Hurry up and apologize to Eric. Otherwise,
you will not be welcomed in the Yates Courtyard today. Do you hear that, you useless bum?!”
At the gate of the courtyard, many members of the Yates family and relatives of the Yates family were acting as onlookers. When
they saw what was going on, they all pointed at Philip, Wynn, and the others to gossip.
The strange looks made Wynn feel uncomfortable.
Martha was beyond furious. She had already said that they should not bring Philip along.
They were screwed. How dare he talk back to Eric. He was obviously trying to pick a fight!
“Look, that’s Martha’s son-in-law, Philip. He’s a worthless bum. I heard that he’s working as a food deliveryman. He only makes a
few thousand dollars a month, and he’s in debt.”
Paula inserted herself into the crowd and started to spew gossip. Her eyes were twitching, and her expression was full of disdain
and contempt.

What she wanted now was to fan the flames and show everyone how Martha had a ‘good son-in-law’!
“Oh, I’ve heard of Philip before. He’s completely useless. Didn’t someone say that he and Wynn were going through a divorce?
Why is he here today?”
“How dare this good-for-nothing come for the celebration of Bob’s birthday. What a wet blanket. I think we should kick him out!”
“That’s true, Bob doesn’t even like Philip. His presence will just be a stick-in-the-mud.”
The group of people kept mocking them, their expressions full of contempt.
Martha could not bear the unpleasant comments, so she immediately grabbed Philip and screamed, “Philip, what are you doing?
Why are you being so shameful here?! Leave now and don’t you dare step foot into the doors of the Yates family ever again!”
Martha’s mood was like a barrel of explosives that was triggered by one spark.
She thought that her relatives would not let go of the chance to make fun of her, and now that they had started with Philip, how
could she just sit still?
Charles chose to shut up, but his expression was not the most pleasant.
After all, it was Martha’s family. The Yates family was as established and solid as a mountain, so he did not dare to speak
presumptuously.
Besides, before he retired, he had been shielded by the Yates family.
He lowered his head and chose not to speak.
Wynn tugged on Martha’s hand, raised her eyebrows. She said in a displeased tone, “Mom, this is Eric’s fault. Why is he picking
on Philip? Philip is your son-in-law, why aren’t you on his side?”
Wynn was also very unhappy. Eric began to hurl insults at Philip immediately after they got out of the car.
‘Does he not have any respect for me, his cousin? Where are his manners? Even my own mother... Why does she have to put
the blame on Philip?’
“Wynn, this is not your place to speak. Stay on the sidelines!”

Fury overcame Martha as she slapped Wynn on the face.
She had enough. Wynn had been going against her recently. This time, she was also the one who insisted on bringing Philip
over. This whole thing had become a joke.
She felt shameful!
When he saw Wynn getting slapped, a fresh swell of rage rose in Philip’s heart. He placed Wynn behind him, stared at Martha
angrily, and said solemnly, “Martha! Who do you think you are?! In my eyes, you are far less important compared to Wynn! Don’t
make a fool of yourself and be a wet blanket!”
Philip was very angry. He had his fists clenched.
Wynn, who was behind him, hurriedly grabbed Philip and whispered, “Philip, don’t.”
Only then did Philip unclench his fists and sighed.
However, the expression in his eyes was still cold. There were flames blaring in his pupils.
If anyone dared to lay their hands on Wynn or humiliate her, Philip would not mind making the biggest fuss that the Yates family
had ever seen!
