The First Heir by Master Yu Who Smokes

“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 shining brightly. Wynn felt helpless. Her mother was so embarrassing. Just now, she wanted to kick him out and

now, she wanted to glue her eyes on him. “Mom, Mr. Thomas has to attend to numerous affairs of state every day. He’s busy,”

Wynn said. Martha glared at Wynn and said,

“What do you know? Stop talking nonsense.” Then, she smiled and got up.

She glared at Philip and said, “Get up. Go over there.” For lack of a better option, Philip could only get

up. Martha sat down directly next to George.

Her face was filled with flattery as she said, “Um, Mr. Thomas, how do you know our Philip?” Now, she

was starting to talk about Philip. How shameless. Philip was just a spineless coward but to her surprise,

he knew such a rich entrepreneur. The sun really came out from the west. George smiled and said, “I

met Phil incidentally. He helped me last time and this time, I’m returning the favor by helping him.” “Oh,

he helped you?” Martha murmured while smiling brightly. She peered at Philip and felt frustration in her

heart. She thought that maybe Philip was something special. Who knew he was still a spineless

coward. There were all kinds of favors in the world and he used it to get himself out of prison! If she

was the one asking for the favor, she would ask for a huge sum of money. Philip was helpless.

He did not say anything. At this moment, George got up and shook hands with everyone. He said, “I’m

sorry, everyone. Since Phil is fine, then I shall head back now. Sorry for the disturbance.” How would

Martha allow a money tree to walk away? She grabbed George’s hand and said frantically,

“Mr. Thomas, thank you for helping our Philip. Please come have dinner with us next time.” George

smiled and exchanged a few words with Martha before leaving. Martha sent him off personally. When

he got into the Bentley, she walked back to the house looking like she had not fully expressed herself.

Bentley! That was a luxurious car! When she got into the house, she shouted excitedly, “Charlie, we’re

gonna be rich! That was George Thomas! He’s rich! He’s a big millionaire!” Charles looked at her coldly

and said, “You were ready to kick him out just now.” Charles was upset. There was such a rich and

powerful man in his house earlier but he did not even get a chance to talk to him. This faded old

woman dominated all of the conversations. Martha rolled her eyes at him and felt pleased with herself.

It was unknown what she was thinking about right now. When she saw that Philip was still in the room,

she changed her usual horrible temperament toward him and walked in front of him with a huge smile.

“Philip, don’t blame me for treating you like that in the past. If you had told me that you knew George

Thomas sooner, I would’ve definitely treated you like you’re my own son.” Martha’s shamelessness

was truly next level.

When Philip had no money nor power, she humiliated him and looked down on him to no end. Now that

he knew George, she wanted to treat him like he was her own son. Wynn felt that Martha was crossing

the line. Her own mother was so discriminatory. “Right, Philip. From now on, flatter George more. There

will only be advantages and no disadvantages to this,” Martha said. “What did you help him with?” This

was what Martha was concerned about the most. She was wondering whether she could get some

money out of this. Philip made up a lie on the spot. “I was there when Mr. Thomas had a heart attack

on the street. I was the one who sent him to the hospital.” “Oh, that’s too bad. He didn’t give you any

money?” When Martha said this, her eyes were glued on Philip. He had given her 100,000 bucks last

time and it caused such a huge commotion. Was George the one who gave him that money? Then it

must be more than 100,000! This guy must be hiding the rest of the money! She had to get it from him!

“Mom, what are you thinking?

Do you not know what kind of person Philip is? How would he ask someone for money?” Wynn said, her face cold. What was her

mother doing? Was she suspecting Philip? “What do you know? Shut up!” Martha yelled at Wynn before looking at Philip once

more. She said, “Philip, you’re also addressing me as your mother. My daughter is married to you and she has suffered for three

long years. You’ve embarrassed me and your father multiple times. You can’t hide this from us. How much did he give you?”

She was sure that Philip had received some money from George Thomas.

Philip looked at Wynn and sighed slightly. He did not have a choice. If he was targeted by Martha, he just had to comply. “One

million. There’s still 900,000 bucks left. It’s to treat Mila’s illness.” Philip could only say that.

He told Wynn before that he had a card with one million bucks. One million bucks! When she heard this, Martha was full of

energy. She stared at Philip and brought out the power of a mother-in-law. She reached out her hand and said coldly, “Give me

the card. I’ll keep it for you.”
