The First Heir
Chapter 343

Chapter 343

A few middle-aged women were gathered in Blue Mountain Cafe and could be seen chatting happily.

Martha was very happy that day. She could finally show off in front of her sister and friends. A pleasedexpression could be seen on her face as she shook the jade bangle on her wrist. She said, “It’snothing, my son-in-law gave this to me. I heard that it’s made of glassy jade and goes for a fewhundred thousand bucks.”

The middle-aged women around her were extremely envious. Their eyes were glued on the bangle onMartha’s wrist.

“Martha, isn’t your son-in-law a well-known piece of garbage? How could he afford it?”

One of the women who had her eyes glued on the jade bangle on Martha’s wrist asked curiously.

“Oh, that kid won the lottery a few days ago. He bought this for me out of filial piety.”

Martha was blatantly lying, yet she was not ashamed of her behavior at all.

On the other hand, Paula scoffed. The other women were unaware of her personality. However, asMartha’s older sister, she understood it very well.

“Why are you so pleased? It’s just a stupid jade bangle. I’ll ask my son-in-law to buy a pair for me later.”

Paula sipped on her coffee. She looked malicious as she rolled her eyes and said.

“Why are you still pretending? What good thing can your useless son-in-law buy? It must be fake!”

Immediately, the air around them changed.

Then, the group of friends suddenly began to change the topic; they were all trying to curry favors withPaula now.

“Paula, you’re going to buy bangles too? I’m sure yours will be better than hers.”

“Of course, Paula’s son-in-law is so much better than Philip. He lives in a hillside villa, right?”

“Hey, Martha, didn’t I hear that you were going to buy a hillside villa as well? Which one?”

This time, someone else brought up the matter. Consequently, the focus went back to Martha as thelatter had said that she would be buying a hillside villa.

Martha blushed. She felt somewhat annoyed. The reason why she had come out that day was to showoff her bangle. However, the other old women were now trying to ambush her because they werejealous of her.

“I already bought it.”

Martha said and took a sip of her coffee. She was so angry that she had started blurting out nonsense.

“Really? Where?”

“Tell us, which one did you buy?”

“Come, take us to visit your villa.”

The group of old friends was extremely energetic and excited. They looked extremely nosey with theirhappy faces.

Nevertheless, Paula rained on Martha’s parade and said sarcastically, “Yeah, she did. She bought theFirst Palace in Longford Park. It cost her 200 million!”

As Paula said this, she could not help but burst out laughing. As a result, laughter rippled across theroom.

When Martha heard Paula’s words, she became enraged. She could tell that her sister had said it onpurpose to humiliate her.

When Martha’s friends heard Paula’s remark, their excited faces instantly gloomed.

Nonsense!

Could Martha even afford Longford Park?

They could tell that Paula had said it to get a kick out of Martha.

“Martha, you’re at fault now. Just tell us you didn’t buy one. Why are you trying to lie to us? We won’tlaugh at you.”

Her friends jeered in schadenfreude. They said they would not laugh at her, but their eyes andexpressions betrayed what they truly thought.

Martha’s face turned white from green. Out of anger, she got up and pointed at Paula before yelling,“Who told you I didn’t? I… I bought it! My son-in-law bought it!”

To Martha, Paula was very infuriating. The latter had always gone against her ever since she wasyoung. She was so old now, and she was still trying to make life difficult for her.

She had a wonderful son-in-law, so what?

As Martha thought about it, she began to hate Philip even more.

He was the reason why everyone made fun of her whenever she was outside.

Damn it!

“Oh, are you mad? Can your useless son-in-law afford a villa? Stop joking. Can you really believe whatthis penniless fool is saying?”

Paula blew on her freshly done nails. Her face was icy as she made fun of Martha.

The last time she was in the old Johnston Manor, Philip said that he had bought a villa.

How could Martha believe such a blatant lie?

She only had been driven to desperate action.

“Shut up! What’s wrong with my son-in-law?”

Martha was enraged. It was true that Philip was always embarrassing her. However, she only lost herreputation after being exposed publicly like this.

Thus, Martha immediately pointed at Paula’s nose and yelled, “Why don’t you take a look atSamantha? How many men did she sleep with before meeting Frank?” Your daughter is just a wh*re!She sold her body for riches, and you’re still so proud of that? Hahaha!”

Slap!

The next second, something happened without warning!
