The first heir novel (Master Yu Who Smokes)
Chapter 303

Martha started to panic. She rubbed her eyes furiously. She wanted to go and take a closer look.

Her eyesight was not that good, so she was scared that she might just be seeing things.

"Hey, why are you running around on your own? You can't see this! Get out now!"

Suddenly, a tall and slender maid stormed in and stood in front of Martha. She brought her out and shut the door of the room.

This was the master bedroom. How could she barge in on her own?

This woman was so full of herself. How dare she wander around on her own.

She told Martha she could only visit the first floor. The second floor was forbidden!

Martha did not have the chance to give the wedding photo another glance before she was pushed out. She was being kept on tenterhooks.

"I'm sorry, I was lost." Martha explained timidly.

The maid peered at her coldly and mumbled, "Go downstairs now. Your friends are waiting for you downstairs." Martha could not do anything more, so she went downstairs. She ran into Barb and Paula in the living room. "Martha, where did you go? We've been looking for you for a long time," Paula said in dissatisfaction.

Barb chimed in, "This is not my house. You can't wander around on your own. You didn't break anything, did you?" Martha did not have the time to explain before the maid scoffed behind her. "Alright, your tour is over. I'll walk you out." Martha was agitated. She kept thinking about the wedding photo in the room that looked like it was fit for a concubine.

How was it possible?

Was it really just an illusion?

Martha did not say anything. Her face was glum as well.

"What's wrong, Martha? You look like you've lost your soul. Are you thinking about the First Palace?"

Paula sneered as she walked. "Stop thinking about it. People like us can't afford to fantasize about this place. It cost 200 million. Who can afford this? Plus, Philip is such a good-for-nothing bum. He won't be able to live in a place like this in his entire lifetime!"

Paula saw an opportunity, so she just had to say something.

However, Martha was abnormally quiet today.

She did not want to argue with Paula after she got out of the mansion. Paula was displeased about this.

"Hey, what's going on with you? If you don't want to talk to me, whatever. I'm leaving."

Paula stomped her foot and twisted her bottom before leaving the Old Johnston Manor. She did not even go in.

How would Martha have the mood to argue with her sister now? She opened the door and entered the house. She sat in the living room lifelessly.

After a while, Charles came back. Martha grabbed him and told him what had happened today.

"Charlie, don't you think it's weird? That photo is exactly the same as the one Wynn and Philip took." There was a knot in Martha's heart.

Charles sat on the sofa and read today's newspaper. He said, "You're just overthinking. Aren't all youngsters' wedding photos the same? Plus, you said that mansion is 200 million bucks. Didn't Madam Sears say that place belongs to that billionaire in Riverdale, George Thomas? Why are you spending so much time and effort thinking about this? If you're really worried, you can just call Philip and ask him about it." Charles did not want to talk to Martha right now.

He wondered what this old woman was planning now.

"Right, I'll just call Philip. He said he bought a house last time. I want to ask this good-for-nothing bum where his house is."

Martha made up her mind and took out her phone to call Philip.

Philip had just finished talking to Chase. It was settled, and of course, he did not need to pay for the car.

"Excuse me, I need to take a call." Philip smiled at Chase.

"Please, Mr. Clarke. I'll go back first, then. Please come visit us sometime."

Chase smiled politely and glared at his stupid son. Then, they left together.

Philip looked at the caller ID and saw that it was from Martha.

"Hello, Mom, what's wrong?" Philip asked.

"Philip, let me ask you, where did you buy your house?"

Martha was straightforward. She did not beat around the bush.

Philip shuddered. What was Martha doing? Why was she interested in this all of a sudden?

"Didn't I tell you that I bought one at Longford Park? Do you want to go take a look?" Philip asked.

He could not hide this anymore. Plus, Philip did not plan to do so either. They would move in there sooner or later.

When Martha heard him, she was stunned. Then, she said in annoyance, "Alright, stop lying. Do you know how much a mansion in Longford Park costs? It's at least 35 million. Do you have that much money?" Initially, Martha was focused on the wedding photo, but now, she was sure that Philip was just a great liar.
