The First Heir
Chapter 558

Chapter 558

After a long while, she finally saw an elegant figure walking down the spiral stairs. She was wearing along 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 beenstruck.

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 herPersian 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 youhere for any particular reasons. I just want you to do something for me. Once you do it, you’ll get fivemillion 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 forgottenwhat Giada told her before.

Giada’s expression changed slightly. She could not imagine how Philip had lived with this mother-in-lawfor three years.

How did he endure her?

“This will only be yours after the deed is done,” Giada said nonchalantly. Then, she signaled Vivian totake 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 whitepowder.

“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 itis. 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’tdie. 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 ofdocuments. She said, “There are two sets of documents here. One’s a deed for two houses and one isa 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 smallbox.

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. Hisvoice 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-likewill.

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 anenvelope.

Giada took it over and glanced at it before letting Vivian burn it. Then, she asked, “Can the master helpthe 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 tocontrol 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 andchanged 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 happenedat 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 whilelonger 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. Shegot 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…
