The First Heir by Master Yu Who Smokes

Chapter 558

After a long while, she finally saw an elegant figure walking down the spiral stairs. She was wearing a long black dress and there

was a Persian in her arms. With every step, the woman’s high heels clicked against the tiles.

Martha felt as if her heart had been struck. Giada! It was Giada! Martha was petrified. What did she want? Giada looked at

Martha who was trembling all over and sat down on the sofa. She caressed her Persian and said coldly,

“We meet again, Martha.” “M-Madam Wallis, what are you doing? I didn’t do anything wrong, did I?”

Martha was terror-stricken. She was scared that Giada would hit her again. There was a cold smile on

Giada’s lips, and her eyes were filled with disdain. She said, “I didn’t call you here for any particular

reasons. I just want you to do something for me. Once you do it, you’ll get five million bucks.” After she

said that, Giada’s subordinate took out five silver boxes and placed them in front of Martha. When the

boxes were opened, there were stacks and stacks of red-colored cash inside. The sight was extremely

attractive! When Martha saw the money, she was excited. Money. Those were all money! “Is this all for

me?” Martha asked without controlling herself. She was also grinning widely. She had completely

forgotten what Giada told her before. Giada’s expression changed slightly. She could not imagine how

Philip had lived with this mother-in-law for three years. How did he endure her? “This will only be yours

after the deed is done,” Giada said nonchalantly. Then, she signaled Vivian to take out the things. They

were in a small box. Martha was curious and took it over. When she opened the box, she saw three

small bags of white powder. “What is this, Madam Wallis?” Martha asked in confusion.

“Don’t you worry about this. I just need you to make Philip consume it. You only have three chances,”

Giada said frigidly. There was an ominous glint in her eyes. Martha was startled. She was scared as

she held the box. She asked, “Is this poison? I won’t do it if it is. I won’t be able to get away with it if he

dies.” Vivian walked over and forced the box into Martha’s hands.

She said coldly, “It’s not poison, he won’t die. The most it will do is get him addicted.” When she said

this, Martha understood. Her eyes went wide. She was even more scared now. She shook her head

furiously as a show of refusal. She knew this would happen, so Giada snapped her fingers and her

subordinate handed two sets of documents. She said, “There are two sets of documents here. One’s a

deed for two houses and one is a crime that I’ll pin on you. It’s enough to let you rot in prison for life.

Your choice.” After she said that, the two documents were thrown in front of Martha. Martha picked it up

and glanced through it. She was saying ‘oh no’ over and over again in her heart. Finally, Martha had no

choice. She signed her name and left Cirrus Manor with the money and small box. Giada was standing

on the balcony while watching the clouds in the sky. She closed her eyes. A tall man walked over to her

from behind. He was wearing a mask and his voice was also altered. His voice sounded robotically,

“Did you give it to her?” “I did,”

answered Giada. After one consumed that white powder, they would be slowly destroyed even if they

had an iron-like will. Roger Clarke from Arcadia Island was an example. “This is the master’s next

order. Burn it after you’ve read it,” the man said coldly and handed Giada an envelope.

Giada took it over and glanced at it before letting Vivian burn it. Then, she asked, “Can the master help

the Wallises get to that position?” The man looked at the west and said, “Don’t doubt the master’s

ability. The Clarkes are too powerful. They’ve hindered a few important people’s plans. We need to get

rid of the Clarkes. Master has to control the economy and military of this world.” Giada did not say

anything. She knew the ability of those people. Even Giada and the Wallises needed to be careful of

them.

Back then, the Clarkes only became stronger by depending on them. After that, Roger appeared and changed everything. Now,

those people wanted to take control of the game once again. This world was merely a game of chess.

Over here, Martha was feeling perturbed. She was back at the villa after leaving Cirrus Manor. She hesitated for a long while and

called Philip. She said, “Philip, are you busy? Something happened at home and I need you to come back.” Philip was chatting

with Nina over here. After he got the call, he rushed home after talking a little while longer with Nina. Mila and Anne were not

home yet. Perhaps they were out buying some sundries. With Anne around, Philip was not worried about Mila. “Mom, what

happened?” Philip got home and saw Martha sitting on the sofa frantically. She looked extremely anxious. When she saw Philip,

Martha pretended to be calm and took the glass of water on the coffee table. She got up and handed it to Philip.

She said, “You must be parched. Drink some water.” Philip did not understand what Martha was doing. He took the glass...
