The first heir novel (Master Yu Who Smokes)
Chapter 162

Philip knew they would not believe him, so he purposely said that.

Sometimes, people would not want to believe the truth.

Martha did not say anything. It was unclear what she was thinking about. Then, she said in a commanding tone, "You don't need to go to Wynn's grandfather's birthday that's happening in two days. Just stay home."

Martha's father would be celebrating his 70th birthday the day after tomorrow. She did not want to bring this cowardly man over.

If not, she would be shamed endlessly by her family members from her maternal home.

Plus, the old master had always been unhappy about Wynn's marriage. Would she be congratulating her father or infuriating him by bringing Philip back?

Philip expected this, so he did not say anything. He took out a box from his pocket and said, "Mom, this is the gift I prepared for the old master."

Martha looked at the embroidered box on the table and murmured, "What's this? The box looks so bad. Are you giving him something that's only worth a few dozen bucks?"

Martha did not even want to open the box to take a look. She did not want to dirty her eyes.

What good thing could Philip afford to give the old master?

Would it not be a joke for her to bring this box to the old master?

When Philip was about to say something, Charles mediated the dispute and said, "Martha, it's something from Philip's heart. Can you stop causing trouble now?" Martha scoffed and said coldly, "Alright. You should go now."

Before Philip could walk out of the door, Martha's second sister, Paula, walked in while dressed stylishly. She was not courteous at all. She immediately sat down on the sofa and yelled, "Martha, get me a glass of water! It's so hot and I'm parched."

Martha's face fell, but she still fetched a glass of water for her second sister.

Paula took a few sips before noticing Philip. She sneered with a surprised expression. "Oh, Philip is here too! That's good. I'm here to talk to you about this. The old master's birthday is in two days. You guys should go with our Samantha's car."

Go there with their car?

Martha was curious, so she asked, "Paula, will we fit in Sammy's car?

"Of course!" Paula was excited. She said with a grin, "Our Frankie just bought a new car for Sammy. It's a Lincoln Navigator they said. It's over a million bucks and it's a seven-seater. So it'll definitely fit all of you."

She was clearly showing off.

This was why Paula was here.

Martha's face fell as she glared at Philip furiously. She was calling him a good-for-nothing bum in her heart.

Paula was ecstatic. She was indeed here to show off. Now that she saw their unwilling and helpless faces, she felt extremely pleased with herself.

Paula felt resentful toward Philip for failing to meet expectations and said, "Martha, it's alright. Just tell Philip to work harder. Perhaps he'll be able to buy a good car in a few years. Right, Philip?"

When Philip's name was mentioned, he chuckled and said, "You're being hilarious, Aunt Paula. How can I compete with Frank? He owns a company."

"Sigh, you can't say that. Even though there's a huge difference between you and Frankie, I know that you can endure a lot of hardship. Why don't I ask Frankie to help keep a lookout on any vacancy that's suitable for you in his company? I'll ask him to help out because after all, we're family. We have to keep the goodies within the family. You'll even throw a bone to your dog." Paula chuckled. Her expression betrayed how she was feeling right now.

Her words were laced with jeers and mockery.

Of course her nephew-in-law was nothing compared to her Frankie.

She was just saying without meaning any of it. She wanted to flex her son-in-law's ability.

Philip's face fell. Did she just call him a dog?

Hehe.

"Thank you, Aunt Paula," Philip took in a deep breath and said calmly.

"Alright, I'll be going now. I'll ask Sammy to pick you up in two days."

Paula came quickly and left quickly once she was done showing off.

After Paula left, Martha was livid. She smashed the cup and screamed at Philip angrily, "Who asked you to chime in? You worthless piece of trash! Look at your Aunt Paula's son-in-law and look at you! What has Frankie bought for his wife? An LV bag, gold necklaces, and gold rings. Now, he even bought a luxury car that's worth over a million bucks! Before this, he even bought a three-story mansion that costs over ten million! What about you? What have you ever bought for us? How did I get such a spineless bum like you as my son-in-law? I'm so mad! You're not allowed to come to the birthday party, do you hear me?"

Martha was so angry that her head was throbbing. She sat on the sofa while fuming. "Why are you still standing there? Get lost! I get a headache whenever I see you!" Philip was feeling helpless.

He had bought a house too. It was at the other courtyard in Dragon City.

It was the most expensive one. It was called First Palace and it was worth a billion bucks!

Luxury car?

He had all of the luxury cars in the world. His parking lot was built on a hill.

"Mom, I bought a house not long ago too," Philip looked at the angry Martha and said suddenly after pondering.
