The First Heir by Master Yu Who Smokes

Chapter 282

Paula flicked a glance at Philip. Amused by his timid and obedient display, she could not help her sarcasm. “You have such a

good son-in-law.

Although he’s not promising, he’s good at doing housework. You can be relaxed because of that.” Martha was angry when she

heard this and promptly cursed. “He’s nothing but a useless piece of trash. So what if he can do the housework? If he’s half as

good as Frank, I won’t have to suffer so much and live in this old manor with Charles.” Paula’s eyes narrowed with a smile. When

she saw Philip walking over with the tea, she deliberately loosened her hold on the cup, making hot water spill all over Philip’s

hands. The boiling hot water instantly burned Philip’s skin a fiery red! The cup also shattered with a loud crack. “Oh dear, I’m so

sorry. The cup was too hot, and I didn’t hold it properly. Philip, I hope your hands are alright.” Paula pretended to be concerned.

Philip clenched his teeth in pain and forced out a smile. “It’s fine.” After that, he quickly ran into the kitchen and soaked his hands

in cold water, but a huge blister had already formed!

The pain was excruciating! Philip’s eyes were cold as he stood in the kitchen. How could he not notice

that Paula had done it on purpose? In the living room, Paula had already forgotten about Philip and

turned to Martha instead. “Well then, since you’ve already asked for my help, I’ll get Frank to help and

see if he can get an internal discount or something.” With that said, Paula leaned back on the sofa and

fiddled with the jewelry on her hand, waiting for Martha to beg for help. She continued, “Martha, it’s not

that I want to reprimand you, but you really shouldn’t have allowed Wynn to marry Philip back then.

Now see how much you’re regretting it.” When Paula said this, she totally did not consider if Philip

could hear her from the kitchen. So what if he could? He was nothing but a wimp. At the same time,

Philip walked out of the kitchen. He had already applied some medication for his burns before he

returned to the living room. He said with a smile,

“Aunt Paula, please don’t worry about the villa. I’ve already bought a house.

If you’re interested, you can come to visit our new home later.” Both Paula and Martha were stunned by

his words. Martha did not expect that Philip would still brag and joke about this matter at a time like

this. Thus, Martha glared furiously at Philip, picked up a book on the table, and flung it at him while

cursing. “Philip, no one will think you’re a mute if you don’t speak.

Now, get lost at once!” “Mom, I’ve really bought a house. I’ve told you last time. In a few more days, all

of us can move in,” Philip said while he bent over to pick the book up from the floor. Paula was

indifferent. She looked at Philip dubiously before mocking with a sneer. “Martha, your son-in-law has

learned to brag now? This isn’t good, you know. He’ll turn bad pretty soon.” “Yes, you’re absolutely

right.” Martha could not do anything except glare daggers at Philip. However, in the next second, Paula

stood up with her handbag in tow and said, “Well then, since the son-in-law has already said so, let’s

set a date for us to visit your new home then.” Crack! Martha’s heart shattered into pieces. She was full

of anger but had nowhere to vent.

She glared vehemently at Philip, stood up, and slapped him across the face with a screech. “Get lost! Who told you to open your

big mouth!” Philip chuckled and said that once Mila was discharged from the hospital, they would move into the new home

together. This made Martha so angry that she cursed him for a long time even after his figure had disappeared. After Philip left,

Paula pretended to be rueful and said to Martha, “Martha, this son-in-law of yours is really no good. You must teach him a good

lesson.

However, since he has already said so, I’m really curious to see what sort of house he has bought.” Paula left. Soon after that,

she told her husband, daughter, and son-in-law about this matter. At the same time, she also notified many relatives about it,

saying that once Mila was discharged from the hospital, they should all visit Martha at their new home. The family members

obviously just wanted to see their humiliation. This incident made Martha extremely angry, and she immediately fell ill for many

days after that. However, she was unable to reverse the situation. After Philip left the Old Johnston Manor and walked toward the

parking lot, he was just about to take out the key to the Ferrari when a graceful girl appeared and hugged him from behind. She

said cheerfully, “Philip, you’ve really concealed yourself well. You’re even driving a Ferrari now.” Lynn Johnston? When Philip

turned around, he saw Lynn with her arms crossed over her chest, looking at him with a smirk on her face. The clothes she wore

today revealed her belly button. Her pants also exposed her pale and slender waist. She had exquisite makeup on her face.

During the hug just now, he felt the softness on his back which felt very real. This little girl had developed well. “What are you

doing here?” Philip asked dubiously. With a phone in her hand, Lynn played a short video which was the scene of Philip about to

get into the car. She then threatened with a smile. “Philip, if my cousin sees this, what will she think?”
