Chapter 260
The First Heir
With that, he took a card out of his pocket and gave it to Theo, saying, âWithdraw three million for me.â
âYes, sir.â Theo respectfully took the card and then personally walked out of the door. He went to a
nearby bank and withdrew three million bucks, filling a whole seven or eight bags with the cash.
Smack!
The seven or eight bags landed in front of Manson loudly, spilling their contents everywhere. They were
filled with bright red hundred-yuan notes!
All tied and bundled together!
That image threatened to overwhelm everyoneâs senses!
That was three million bucks?
Martha was the first to grow so excited she nearly fainted. Three million!
Philip actually really withdrew three million!
With that, she glared at his back resentfully, muttering to herself, âWell, well, Philip Clarke! You say you
didnât hoard any money, but this just goes to show how much you were actually hiding!â
Now, Martha was even more certain that George Thomas had given Philip far more than one million
after he helped him that time. There had to be at least five million!
That cursed scum, how dare he try to keep it from her.
Martha was furious, even more so than when that flashy woman hit her.
âHereâs three million, not a penny less. Want to take some?â Philip sat on the couch calmly, looking at
Manson who was bowing before him.
Right now, Manson was wishing for the sweet release of death. His entire body was shaking.
Did he dare to take that three million?
No, he did not!
That money would cost him his life!
On the other hand, that flashy woman ran up to them indignantly and grabbed the money from the
table, saying, âOf course weâll take it! Why shouldnât we? This is to make up for what you did to me!â
That was three whole million in cash! The temptation was all too real!
How could Manny be so spineless? Of course they had to take it!
However!
Bam!
Manson finally blew up. He went forth and gave his sister an almighty kick, sending her sprawling onto
the floor as he roared at her, âTake it and Iâll chop off your hands!â
After that, he turned around and knelt before Philip once more, slamming his head repeatedly onto the
floor. âMr. Clarke, please forgive me and my sister. Sheâs such a fool, but Iâll apologize to you and your
wife, sir! We were wrong, it was our fault! Weâll even pay for the damages!â
As he said that, Manson took a bank card from his pocket and offered it to Philip respectfully. âHereâs
two million, Mr. Clarke. Think of it as my apology to you and your wife, as well as payment for your
parentsâ psychological damages and medical fees. Please, accept it!â
By now, most people could see that Philip was not your average citizen!
The only one in the room who did not recognize that fact was Martha. To her, he was still a good-for-
nothing piece of trash.
His money was just a hidden nest egg.
That Theo something or another was just an actor he called over to scare Manson.
Now, though, she was glad to see Manson apologize. She hastily grabbed the card from Mansonâs
hands and even swept the money on the table into the bags, taking it all for herself. âAlright, I accept
your offer on behalf of my son-in-law. Now, get the hell out of my sight.â
Everyone was once again stunned, looking at Martha with their jaws on the floor.
There truly was no end to her shamelessness!
Philip was exasperated. He glanced at Theo and shook his head, indicating at the latter to call it a day.
What else could he do?
His mother-in-law was simply that greedy for money.
Theo shrugged too and barked, âCome on in!â
Martha jumped and swiveled around to see more than a dozen men in black suits charging through the
door. She thought they were here to take the money from her, so she hurriedly held the money against
her chest.
However, those men in black suits merely grabbed Manson, his sister, and that fat middle-aged man
who had stayed quiet all this time, escorting the three of them away.
With that, Theo bowed at Philip again and said, âAlright then, Mr. Clarke. Iâll take my leave.â
He then led his men away from the scene.
Martha was ecstatic, forgetting all about her pain. She hastily filled the bags with all the money and
even casually told Philip, âPhilip, Iâll keep this money for you, okay? If you need it, you can come ask
me for it later.â
She could not stay here for long. Martha was worried that Philip would change his mind, so she
dragged Charles and the bags of money with her, taking off into a run.
Philip was exasperated but helpless. He looked at Wynn beside him and said, âCome on, we should go
back too.â
Wynn did not say anything. She left the sales office at the hillside villa with Philip, but once they were
outside, she grabbed his arm and looked him in the eye, asking, âWhy do you have so much money?
Where did you get it from? Also, whatâs up with that Theo Zander guy? Why is heâ¦â
Philip interrupted her before she could finish that question and handed the card to her, saying, âHere,
this card is for you. Thereâs some money inside, some of my savings from before I ran away from
home. I also secretly bought some stocks since then and earned quite a bit. My initial plan was to take
you and Mila on a trip around the world after she leaves the hospital.â
In truth, this card was the one Philip had just gotten at the bank earlier. There was an entire billion
inside!
What Wynn did not know was that the money had been saved under her name.
She blinked and quietly accepted the card, giving him a dubious smile. âYour savings? How much is
there?â
Philip rubbed his chin and grinned craftily. âDo you really want to know?â
Wynn rolled her eyes. âWhat, are you saying thereâs another million in there? Maybe ten million, or a
hundred?â
Of course, Wynn was just joking, but Philip nodded and said calmly, âYeah, I think thereâs ten of
thoseâ¦â
